The problem is rather to find out what is actually happening, and this is especially difficult for the reason that `` we are busily being defended from a knowledge of the present, sometimes by the very agencies -- our educational system, our mass media, our statesmen -- on which we have had to rely most heavily for understanding of ourselves ''.

the prolusion in which the autobiographic statement about the epithet occurs is such a mass of intentionally buried allusions that almost nothing in it can be accepted as true -- or discarded as false.

Much more important is to grasp the feelings of the narrator ( whose full name is never given ) as he becomes aware of the disorganized and bewildered mass of French prisoners clustered together in a temporary prison camp in and around the cathedral of Chartres.

The human is deeper than a mass ideology, certainly deeper than the isolated individual ; ;

Although Mr. Brown was not himself its inventor ( it was a French idea ), it is typical that his intuition first conceived the importance of mass producing this basic tool for general use.

As mass dealer and distributor organizations grow in size, there is every reason to expect them to try to share in the manufacturer's as well as the distributor's profits -- which is, in effect, what the sale of private brands tends to do.

This calculation results in an enthalpy rise which is somewhat high because it assumes a mass flow equally distributed over the plug cross section whereas in reality the mass velocity is expected to be smaller in the regions of higher temperatures.

Note that the mass threshold is four times that of 1958 Alpha and that the flux is one fifth as large.

With detectors sensitive to three mass intervals and based on a few counts, the second and third Russian space probes indicate that the flux of the smallest particles detected is less than that of larger ones.

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.

However, the conversion from mass to size is unreliable, since many photographic meteors give evidence of a fluffy, loosely bound meteorite structure with densities as low as Af.

if a substantial fraction of the dust is orbiting about the Earth, only about one third the above-mentioned average velocity should be used in deriving the mass.

The radius is calculated from the mass by assuming spheres of density Af except for the smallest particles, which must have a higher mass density to remain in the solar system in the presence of solar-radiation pressure.

It is assumed that the flux values increase by a factor of 2.512 per magnitude, in accordance with the opinion that the total mass flux in each unit range in magnitude is constant.

Note that the mass scale is one to two orders of magnitude greater than some previously used ; ;

Gerbert then cancelled a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, but when he read mass in the church of Saint Mary of Jerusalem ( also called " Jerusalem church ") in Rome, he became sick soon afterwards and, dying, he asked his cardinals to cut up his body and scatter it across the city.

The intention had been to symbolically read out a declaration on what the Scottish Assembly would have done to counter unemployment, but the participants were arrested before they had the chance, and a planned later mass demonstration was cancelled.

In January 1945 a prototype for mass production was completed, but on 6 February SS-Obergruppenführer Hans Kammler cancelled the project.

There was also a restructuring of academic departments ; the University's nine faculties were reduced to five, the University's 99 departments were merged into 40 schools, and courses that were deemed redundant following a mass review were cancelled.

The 1991 series was successful enough to begin production of a 1992 series, but the set was cancelled prior to mass production.

" It also saw a mass exodus of air staffers ( including the Program Director and sales staff, as well as all specialty programs and mix shows being cancelled ) as CTVglobemedia ( now Bell Media Radio ) took over the ownership of the station from Milestone.

It was cancelled at the last minute by the British mandatory government, which banned all mass gatherings for fear of " anti-government demonstrations ".

The Young Irelanders had previously supported O ' Connell until he cancelled plans for a mass rally under British threat of force.

For example renormalization in QED modifies the mass of the free field electron to match that of a physical electron ( with an electromagnetic field ), and will in doing so add a term to the free field Lagrangian which must be cancelled by a counterterm in the interaction Lagrangian, that then shows up as a two-line vertex in the Feynman diagrams.

Prototypes of the unit were tested in parts of the United States and Europe in 1994-1995, but the product was cancelled shortly thereafter, and was never mass produced or marketed.

After strong criticism from the mass media, on 18 October 2011 the Ukrainian parliament cancelled its previous decision.

After the 22nd session, in April 1903, the meetings of the group ( by this time widely known as Bogoiskateli, or God-seekers ) were finally cancelled by the procurator of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church K. Pobedonostzev's decree, the main reason being Merezhkovskys frequent visits to places of mass sectarian settlements where they and their radical ideas of Church ' renovation ' were becoming quite popular.

In hot climates, compared with wooden buildings, adobe buildings offer significant advantages due to their greater thermal mass, but they are known to be particularly susceptible to earthquake damage.

Although constrained by land mass and topology, the amount of arable land, both regionally and globally, fluctuates due to human and climatic factors such as irrigation, deforestation, desertification, terracing, landfill, and urban sprawl.

Continental fragments correspond to land masses that have separated from a continental mass due to tectonic displacement.

Astrometry has also been used to support claims of extrasolar planet detection by measuring the displacement the proposed planets cause in their parent star's apparent position on the sky, due to their mutual orbit around the center of mass of the system.

In the Neo-Assyrian period the Aramaic language became increasingly common, more so than Akkadian — this was thought to be largely due to the mass deportations undertaken by Assyrian kings, in which large Aramaic-speaking populations, conquered by the Assyrians, were relocated to Assyria and interbred with the Assyrians.

The system had been designed in 1983 through 1984 with an intended mass market rollout in June 1984, but was canceled shortly thereafter due to the sale of the company to Tramiel Technology Ltd on July 2, 1984.

Under the action of gravity, a particle acquires a downward speed of, where is the mass of the particle, is the acceleration due to gravity, and is the particle's mobility in the fluid.

Bruno Latour suggests that the widespread popularity of conspiracy theories in mass culture may be due, in part, to the pervasive presence of Marxist-inspired critical theory and similar ideas in academia since the 1970s.

For example, the relative atomic mass of chlorine is 35. 453 u, which differs greatly from a whole number due to being made of an average of 76 % chlorine-35 and 24 % chlorine-37.

Whenever a relative atomic mass value differs by more than 1 % from a whole number, it is due to this averaging effect resulting from significant amounts of more than one isotope being naturally present in the sample of the element in question.

Eventually, most paleontologists began to accept the idea that the mass extinctions at the end of the Cretaceous were largely or at least partly due to a massive Earth impact.

Other suggested effects of the impacts were seismic waves travelling across the planet, an increase in stratospheric haze on the planet due to dust from the impacts, and an increase in the mass of the Jovian ring system.

A high compression ratio is desirable because it allows an engine to extract more mechanical energy from a given mass of air-fuel mixture due to its higher thermal efficiency.

As news rolled in from town to town and correspondence arrived from overseas, reports of horrific stories of suffering and loss due to smallpox stirred mass panic among the people.

Dark matter came to the attention of astrophysicists due to discrepancies between the mass of large astronomical objects determined from their gravitational effects, and the mass calculated from the " luminous matter " they contain ; such as stars, gas and dust.

Experimentally, however, the total kinetic energy is found to be much greater: in particular, assuming the gravitational mass is due to only the visible matter of the galaxy, stars far from the center of galaxies have much higher velocities than predicted by the virial theorem.

Sudden cooling due to sulfurous volcanic gases released by the formation of the traps and localised gas concentrations may have contributed significantly to mass extinctions.

The Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia includes objects up to 25 Jupiter masses, saying, " The fact that there is no special feature around 13 MJup in the observed mass spectrum reinforces the choice to forget this mass limit ," and the Exoplanet Data Explorer includes objects up to 24 Jupiter masses with the advisory: " The 13 Jupiter-mass distinction by the IAU Working Group is physically unmotivated for planets with rocky cores, and observationally problematic due to the sin i ambiguity.

* Nils Kjerulf-manager of Los Angeles International, now far from the major depot of mass transit of yesteryear due to the decrease in need for air transport

More than any single factor though, firearms have proliferated due to the advent of mass production-enabling arms manufacturers to produce large quantities of weaponry to a consistent standard.

While surgery is possible, it is often very difficult due to the invasiveness of the mass in surrounding tissue including the arteries, the esophagus, and windpipe.

Today, mainstream usage of “ hacker ” mostly refers to computer criminals, due to the mass media usage of the word since the 1980s.

Like all subatomic particles, hadrons are assigned quantum numbers corresponding to the representations of the Poincaré group: J < sup > PC </ sup >( m ), where J is the spin quantum number, P the intrinsic parity ( or P-parity ), and C, the charge conjugation ( or C-parity ), and the particle's mass, m. Note that the mass of a hadron has very little to do with the mass of its valence quarks ; rather, due to mass – energy equivalence, most of the mass comes from the large amount of energy associated with the strong interaction.
