Smith's first workout with stresses, pitches, and junctures was based on mother, which spells, in our culture, a good deal more than bread alone.

No wonder Khrushchev's first message to President Kennedy was a wistful desire for the return of the `` good old days '' of Roosevelt.

This was a continuation of a good idea which was first tried out Saturday night when the Eddie Stack group, also local talent, went on first.

She is just home from a sojourn in London where she has become the sweetheart of a young fellow named Ronnie ( we never do see him ) and has been subjected to a first course in thinking and appreciating, including a dose of good British socialism.

That first time was good and it stuck with me.

In his first sermon, given during the first month of the plague, Paneloux describes the epidemic as the " flail of God ," through which God separates the wheat from the chaff, the good from the evil.

The measured brightness temperature is a good approximation to the brightness temperature at the center of the lunar disk because of the narrow antenna beam and because the temperature distribution over the central portion of the moon's disk is nearly uniform.

A sufficiently good approximation for determining the end reflection losses R can be obtained from the angle independent Fresnel formula: Af.

A value of h close to zero gives a good approximation to the slope of the tangent line, and smaller values ( in absolute value ) of h will, in general, give better approximations.

A good approximation is Ramanujan's:

An implication of Einstein's theory of general relativity is that Euclidean space is a good approximation to the properties of physical space only where the gravitational field is weak.

The formulas are approximate, but this rough approximation is in fact relatively good and gives the right intuition, with the notion of polarity of the bond and some theoretical grounding in quantum mechanics.

The generalization of this statement, namely that the laws of special relativity hold to good approximation in freely falling ( and non-rotating ) reference frames, is known as the Einstein equivalence principle, a crucial guiding principle for generalizing special-relativistic physics to include gravity.

The coordinate transformation between these two systems is described to good approximation by ( apparent ) sidereal time, which takes into account variations in the Earth's axial rotation ( length-of-day variations ).

It is more like a physical quantity, and though it can be tempting to treat height as the vertical coordinate, in addition to the horizontal coordinates and, and though this actually is a good approximation of physical reality in small areas, it quickly becomes invalid for regional considerations.

The advances made in signal processors to synthesize an approximation of a good concert hall can now provide a somewhat more realistic illusion of listening in a concert hall.

Some eight decades later, Isaac Newton proved that relationships like Kepler's would apply exactly under certain ideal conditions that are to a good approximation fulfilled in the solar system, as consequences of Newton's own laws of motion and law of universal gravitation.

According to special relativity, the Galilean transformation is a good approximation only at relative speeds much smaller than the speed of light.

The presence of air resistance, for example, always distorts the shape, although at low speeds, the shape is a good approximation of a parabola.

Yet for many practical purposes, the normal approximation provides a good approximation to the sample-mean's distribution when there are 10 ( or more ) independent samples, according to simulation studies and statisticians ' experience.

For processes that involve only suitably small and smooth spatial inhomogeneities and suitably small changes with time, a good approximation can be found through the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium.

Perfect reconstruction is mathematically possible for the idealized model but only an approximation for real-world signals and sampling techniques, albeit in practice often a very good one.

However, if the separation between the massive bodies is much larger compared to their sizes, then to a good approximation, it is reasonable to treat the masses as point mass while calculating the gravitational force.

This simplification is often a good approximation in practice.
