The results of present observations of the thermal radio emission of the moon are consistent with the very low thermal conductivity of the surface layer which was derived from the variation in the infrared emission during eclipses ( e.g., Garstung, 1958 ).

Field shifts were derived from the mean value of the resonance line, defined as the field about which the first moment is zero.

this mass threshold was derived from the detector calibration and an assumed impact velocity of Af.

The threshold mass is derived from the momentum threshold with the assumption of a mean impact velocity of Af in the U.S. work and Af in the U.S.S.R. work.

A concentration distribution has been derived from radar observations sensitive to the fifteenth magnitude ( Manning and Eshleman, 1959 ).

Therefore, N is inversely proportional to the radius cubed and in fair agreement with the inverse 7/2 power derived from 1958 Alpha and 1959 Eta data.

The second list was derived from a group of approximately 8,000 names supplied to the research team by the Aerospace Industries Association.

This sort of manipulation is especially troublesome in Fromm's work because, although his system is derived largely from certain philosophic convictions, he asserts that it is based on empirical findings drawn both from social science and from his own consulting room.

It is curious that at its best, the work of this school of painting -- Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Clyfford Still, Robert Motherwell, Willem De-Kooning, and the rest -- resembles nothing so much as the passage painting of quite unimpressive painters: the mother-of-pearl shimmer in the background of a Henry McFee, itself a formula derived from Renoir ; ;

The data presented are derived almost entirely from X-ray diffraction measurements and include atomic coordinates, cell dimensions, and atomic and ionic radii.

All the other force vectors are derived from these.

It is an experience of a new depth of community derived from an awareness of the corporate indwelling of Christ in His people.

These affairs temporarily relieved the monotony of school or work activities containing no anticipation of achievement and joy of craftsmanship, no sense of dignity derived from a job well done.

As seen from the definition, the derived SI units of angular momentum are newton meter seconds ( N · m · s or kg · m < sup > 2 </ sup > s < sup >− 1 </ sup >) or joule seconds ( J · s ).

This was the approach that Bessel used, and from this definition he derived several properties of the function.

Although the candela is now defined in terms of the second ( an SI base unit ) and the watt ( a derived SI unit ), the candela remains a base unit of the SI system, by definition.

In practice, the above definition is rarely used because in virtually all cases, the curl operator can be applied using some set of curvilinear coordinates, for which simpler representations have been derived.

The word cannon is derived from several languages, in which the original definition can usually be translated as tube, cane, or reed.

However, whether this is possible depends on how the field of complex numbers is derived in the first place: it may not be possible to distinguish a complex number from its conjugate ( say, 3 + i from 3-i ), since it is impossible to find a property of one that is not also a property of the other, without falling back on the underlying set-theoretic definition.

This motivates the definition of the commutator subgroup ( also called the derived subgroup, and denoted G ′ or G < sup >( 1 )</ sup >) of G: it is the subgroup generated by all the commutators.

Yet, at the 5th Congress of the Communist International ( July 1924 ), Grigory Zinoviev formally denounced Georg Lukács's heterodox definition of orthodox Marxism as exclusively derived from fidelity to the " Marxist method ", and not to Communist party dogmas ; and denounced the Marxism developments of the German theorist Karl Korsch.

A new definition of hypnosis, derived from academic psychology, was provided in 2005, when the Society for Psychological Hypnosis, Division 30 of the American Psychological Association ( APA ), published the following formal definition:

Hegel begins his definition of the subject at a standpoint derived from Aristotelian physics: " the unmoved which is also self-moving " ( Preface, pgph.

The use of average atomic masses derived from the standard atomic weights found on a standard periodic table will result in an average molecular mass, whereas the use of isotopic masses will result in a molecular mass consistent with the strict interpretation of the definition, i. e. that of a single molecule.

Several further properties can be derived from the definition of a countably additive measure.

One may think of potential energy as being derived from force or think of force as being derived from potential energy ( though the latter approach requires a definition of energy that is independent from force which does not currently exist ).

That particular way of definition of entropy is largely beyond the scope of the present article, but here it may be said that it is entirely derived from the concepts of classical thermodynamics ; in particular, neither flow rates nor changes over time are admitted into the definition of the entropy of the small local region.

Modern uses of the word " theory " are derived from the original definition, but have taken on new shades of meaning, still based on the idea that a theory is a thoughtful and rational explanation of the general nature of things.

The Friedel-mate constraint can be derived from the definition of the inverse Fourier transform

Frege required Basic Law V to be able to give an explicit definition of the numbers, but all the properties of numbers can be derived from Hume's principle.

Bayes ' theorem may be derived from the definition of conditional probability:

For two continuous random variables and, Bayes ' theorem may be analogously derived from the definition of conditional density:

It was in the Middle Ages, too, that adamantine hardness and the lodestone's magnetic properties became confused and combined, leading to an alternate definition in which " adamant " means magnet, falsely derived from the Latin adamare, which means to love or be attached to.
