Although it is commonly believed that assassins were under the influence of hashish during their killings or during their indoctrination, there is debate as to whether these claims have merit, with many Eastern writers and an increasing number of western academics coming to believe that drug-taking was not the key feature behind the name.

A key feature of bridge is the concept of vulnerability.

Biograph retaliated for being frozen out of the Trust agreement by purchasing the patent to the Latham film loop, a key feature of virtually all motion picture cameras then in use.

Meiosis is a key feature for all sexually reproducing eukaryotes in which homologous chromosome pairing, synapse and recombination occur.

The inability to pin an idea or cultural feature to quantifiable key units is widely acknowledged as a problem for memetics.

" Blackmore meets such criticism by stating that memes compare with genes in this respect: that while a gene has no particular size, nor can we ascribe every phenotypic feature directly to a particular gene, it has value because it encapsulates that key unit of inherited expression subject to evolutionary pressures.

They also took part in love feasts which allowed for the sharing of testimony, a key feature of early Methodists.

This has the effect of forcing the key signature to feature just sharps or just flats.

The two-month gap is a key feature in the institution, much as in elections under modern liberal democracies.

Withdrawal of symptoms without any residual neurological finding is another key feature in their recognition.

Becher believed that terra pinguis was a key feature of combustion and was released when combustible substances were burned.

Thus, Jevons anticipated a key feature of the RSA Algorithm for public key cryptography, although he certainly did not invent the concept of public key cryptography.

Remnants of these steppe civilizations were discovered in such places as Ipatovo, Sintashta, Arkaim, and Pazyryk, which bear the earliest known traces of mounted warfare, a key feature in nomadic way of life.

* The automatic stack permits the automatic storage of intermediate results for use later: this key feature is what permits RPN calculators to easily evaluate expressions of arbitrary complexity: they do not have limits on the complexity of expression they can evaluate.

Throughout the early history of the Navarrese kingdom, there were frequent skirmishes with the Carolingian Empire, from which it maintained its independence, a key feature of its history until 1513.

Three key parts to evaporation are heat, atmospheric pressure ( determines the percent humidity ) and air movement.

This heat flux is believed to contribute to the high rate of evaporation in the South Atlantic, a key mechanism in the Meridional Overturning Circulation.

It is one of the earliest practical examples of key exchange implemented within the field of cryptography.

An inverted file or inverted index of a first file, by a field in this file ( the inversion field ), is a second file in which this field is the key.

A record in the second file includes a key and pointers to records in the first file where the inversion field has the value of the key.

The differential geometry of surfaces captures many of the key ideas and techniques characteristic of this field.

Four years later, four nations met in Geneva and formed the organization which has grown into the Red Cross, with a key stated aim of " aid to sick and wounded soldiers in the field ".

* 1502 10 July – By a Royal Warrant passed in Toledo by Isabella I of Castile, Gibraltar was granted its coat of arms: " An escutcheon on which the upper two thirds shall be a white field and on the said field set a red castle, and below the said castle, on the other third of the escutcheon, which must be a red field in which there must be a white line between the castle and the said red field, there shall be a golden key which hangs by a chain from the said castle, as are here figured ".

Upon his return to the astronaut corps in Houston, he played a key role in training Apollo crews to be geologic observers when they were in lunar orbit and competent geologic field workers when they were on the lunar surface.

That same year, Professor Herbert N. Shenton and Dr. Edward L. Thorndike became influential in IALA's work by authoring key studies in the interlinguistic field.

A key field is a field or set of fields ( a key is then said to be a composite key ) of a database ( typically a relational database ) table which together form a unique identifier for a database record ( a table entry ).

This method of key exchange, which uses exponentiation in a finite field, came to be known as Diffie – Hellman key exchange.

Since the 1970s, a large number and variety of encryption, digital signature, key agreement, and other techniques have been developed in the field of public-key cryptography.

Hellman addresses the National Security Agency ’ s ( NSA ) early efforts to contain and discourage academic work in the field, the Department of Commerce ’ s encryption export restrictions, and key escrow ( the so-called Clipper chip ).

In addition, ion channels are key components in a wide variety of biological processes that involve rapid changes in cells, such as cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle contraction, epithelial transport of nutrients and ions, T-cell activation and pancreatic beta-cell insulin release.

Potassium ion diffusion is a key mechanism in nerve transmission, and potassium depletion in animals, including humans, results in various cardiac dysfunctions.

** Band 3-also assembles various glycolytic enzymes, the presumptive CO < sub > 2 </ sub > transporter, and carbonic anhydrase into a macromolecular complex termed a “ metabolon ,” which may play a key role in regulating red cell metabolism and ion and gas transport function );

The effectiveness of silver compounds as an antiseptic is based on the ability of the biologically active silver ion ( Ag +) to irreversibly damage key enzyme systems in the cell membranes of pathogens.

A voltage-gated ion channel is a cluster of proteins embedded in the membrane that has three key properties:

After addition of the alcohol 5, the dimethylchlorosulfonium chloride 4 reacts with the alcohol to give the key alkoxysulfonium ion intermediate, 6.

The key to the action of these enzymes is a metal ion with variable oxidation state which can act as either an oxidizing agent or as a reducing agent.

Redistribution of ions could modulate neuronal activity, given that voltage-gated ion channels are a key element in the progress of axon spikes.

DEAD itself deprotonates the alcohol ( 6 ) forming an alkoxide that can form the key oxyphosphonium ion 8.

As for the mentioned release efficiency, this key factor encompasses several processes involved in the production of radioactive ion beams with the ISOL technique.
