Reductive materialism being at one end of a continuum ( our theories will reduce to facts ) and eliminative materialism on the other ( certain theories will need to be eliminated in light of new facts ), Revisionary materialism is somewhere in the middle.

Reductive amination ( also known as reductive alkylation ) is a form of amination that involves the conversion of a carbonyl group to an amine via an intermediate imine.

Other types of explanation are Deductive-nomological, Functional, Historical, Psychological, Reductive, Teleological, Methodological explanations.

Reductive group schemes-develops the theory from the scheme-theoretic viewpoint.

Reductive Lie algebras are a generalization of semisimple Lie algebras, and share many properties with them: many properties of semisimple Lie algebras depend only on the fact that they are reductive.

Reductive elimination of the desired product 9 restores the original palladium catalyst 1.

* Reductive elimination gives rise to the desired coupling product.

Reductive iron acquisition includes conversion of iron from the ferric ( Fe < sup >+ 3 </ sup >) to the ferrous ( Fe < sup >+ 2 </ sup >) state and subsequent uptake via FtrA, an iron permease.

Reductive work-up conditions are far more commonly used than oxidative conditions.

Reductive amination reactions such as this one will not produce quaternary ammonium salts, but instead will stop at the tertiary amine stage.

Called the chakravala ( cyclic ) method, it starts by composing any triple ( that is, one which satisfies ) with the trivial triple to get the triple, which can be scaled down to

Technologies such as VDSL provide very high speed, short-range links as a method of delivering " triple play " services ( typically implemented in fiber to the curb network architectures ).

Shootouts are also a common format for large heads-up multi-table tournaments, although these may feature double or triple elimination instead of the standard single knockout method.

During this early period, the whisky was produced using a triple distilling method, but changed to the more conventional double distilling in 1928.

This is not the only method of triple buffering available, but is the most prevalent on the PC architecture where the speed of the target machine is highly variable.

Another method of triple buffering involves synchronizing with the monitor frame rate.

The first color photograph made according to Maxwell's prescription, a set of three monochrome " color separations ", was taken by Thomas Sutton in 1861 for use in illustrating a lecture on color by Maxwell, where it was shown in color by the triple projection method.

DeRose used a table of pairs, while Church used a table of triples and a method of estimating the values for triples that were rare or nonexistent in the Brown Corpus ( actual measurement of triple probabilities would require a much larger corpus ).

Before the use of triple based propellants the usual method of flash reduction was to add inorganic salts like potassium chloride so their specific heat capacity might reduce the temperature of combustion gasses and their finely divided particulate smoke might block visible wavelengths of radiant energy of combustion.

One is the direct method, which estimates the initial phases and expanding phases using a triple relation.

Generally there is a method of selecting the order in which the barrels of an SST shotgun fire ; commonly this is done through manipulation of the safety, pushing to one side to select top barrel first and the other side to select bottom barrel first.

The key to our method is provided by the detailed analysis of the relation between mathematical languages and mathematical structures which lies at the bottom of contemporary model theory.

An alternative recording method not requiring a grid is also in use, where positions on a board are labeled left to right by letters a through h and top to bottom ( far-to-near ) by digits 1 through 8 ( Note that this is the opposite of the chess standard, with numerals running upward away from the side ( White ) that has a through h left to right, and also that the perspective may be that of either player ( with no fixed standard )), so that the very first move of a game may be ( based upon standard starting set-up ) d3, c4, f5 or e6.

The usual method of erecting two or three concentric palisades, each 12 to 20 feet ( 4 to 7 m ) high, created a formidable obstacle to attackers — especially since, as some of the English observed in the 19th century, the thigh-thick logs planted into the earth to make the palisades often took root at the bottom and grew foliage at the top, so that the defenders occupied virtually a living wall of wood.

Another method, used in Welch-Allyn's Meditron stethoscope, comprises placement of a piezoelectric crystal at the head of a metal shaft, the bottom of the shaft making contact with a diaphragm.

Crocodilians also rely on the hepatic piston method, in which the liver is pulled back by a muscle anchored to the pubic bone ( part of the pelvis ), which in turn pulls the bottom of the lungs backward, expanding them.

Some foods are surrounded with moisture during baking by placing a small amount of liquid ( such as water or broth ) in the bottom of a closed pan, and letting it steam up around the food, a method commonly known as braising or slow baking.

Interpretation cannot be used as the sole method of execution: even though an interpreter can itself be interpreted and so on, a directly executed program is needed somewhere at the bottom of the stack.

However, the pop-up tower or fixed tower method blocks use of the center of the bottom rack, restricting the size of objects that can fit in the bottom rack.

* A developer using a bottom up method writes implementing classes first ( in some programming language ), and then uses a WSDL generating tool to expose methods from these classes as a Web service.

This collection method drops a weighted line to the bottom at intervals and records the depth, often from a rowboat or sail boat.

Echo sounding is a more rapid method of measuring depth than the previous technique of lowering a sounding line until it touched bottom.

In an autobiography of Lamarr written in later years, she insists that all sexual activity in the film was simulated ; the orgasm achieved using " method acting reality .” The authenticity of passion was attained by the film director ’ s off-screen manipulation of a safety pin strategically poking her bottom.

As shown above, the determination of what surface constitutes the front, back, top, and bottom varies depending on the projection method used.

There are many techniques to produce an acceptable wash, but the student method is to tilt the paper surface ( usually after fixing it to a rigid flat support ) so that the top of the wash area is higher than the bottom, then to apply the paint in a series of even, horizontal brush strokes in a downward sequence, each stroke just overlapping the stroke above to pull downward the excess paint or water ( the " bead "), and finally wicking up the excess paint from the last stroke using a paper towel or the tip of a moist brush.
