But more important, we believe, it must concentrate on the development of entirely new concepts in textile processing as do the Unifil loom winder and our more recent Uniconer automatic coning machine.

For the near term, however, it must be realized that the industrial and commercial market is somewhat more sensitive to general business conditions than is the military market, and for this reason I would expect that any gain in 1961 may be somewhat smaller than those of recent years ; ;

and much more commonly in recent years, the engineer who found that other duties interfered with -- or eliminated -- his engineering contributions.

Some more recent studies have used the word anthophyte to describe a group which includes the angiosperms and a variety of fossils ( glossopterids, Pentoxylon, Bennettitales, and Caytonia ), but not the Gnetales.

While other conditions might be even more effective in bringing about a change from immobility to mobility in Kohnstamm reactivity, it is our hypothesis that all such conditions would have as a common factor the capacity to induce an attitude in the subject which enabled him to divorce himself temporarily from feelings of responsibility for his behavior.

This hypothesis will account for a large part of the difficulties of tonal analysis, as well as the fact that vowel systems are often more puzzling than consonantal systems.

The hypothesis to Isocrates ' Helen mentions that Anaximenes, too, had written a Helen, " though it is more a defense speech ( apologia ) than an encomium ," and concludes that he was " the man who has written about Helen " to whom Isocrates refers ( Isoc.

A more radical defense is to deny the separation of physical world and the platonic world, i. e. the mathematical universe hypothesis.

Referred to variously as the Confucian hypothesis and as a debated component of the more all-encompassing Asian Development Model, there exists among political scientists and economists a theory that Confucianism plays a large latent role in the ostensibly non-Confucian cultures of modern-day East Asia, in the form of the rigorous work ethic it endowed those cultures with.

In computability theory, the Church – Turing thesis ( also known as the Turing-Church thesis, the Church – Turing conjecture, Church's thesis, Church's conjecture, and Turing's thesis ) is a combined hypothesis (" thesis ") about the nature of functions whose values are effectively calculable ; or, in more modern terms, functions whose values are algorithmically computable.

Was the notion of " effective calculability " to be ( i ) an " axiom or axioms " in an axiomatic system, or ( ii ) merely a definition that " identified " two or more propositions, or ( iii ) an empirical hypothesis to be verified by observation of natural events, or ( iv ) or just a proposal for the sake of argument ( i. e. a " thesis ").

According to Needham, though there is no way of answering the question of whether the crossbow first arose among the cultures neighboring ancient China before the rise of Chinese culture in their midst, or whether it spread outwards from China to all the environing peoples, the former seems the more probable hypothesis given linguistic evidence, which posits that the Chinese word for ' crossbow ' came from an Austroasiatic language.

The idea of a relation between the language of the Aegean Linear scripts was taken into consideration as the main hypothesis by Michael Ventris before discovering that in fact the language behind the more modern Linear B script was Mycenean, a Greek dialect.

If not, the null hypothesis is supported ( or, more correctly, not rejected ), meaning no effect of the independent variable ( s ) was observed on the dependent variable ( s ).

The results were interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that perceived similarity of the model to the learner increases self-efficacy, leading to more effective learning of modeled behaviors.

There is debate among supporters of the hypothesis about the shape of the curve for events and facts that are more significant to the subject.

Regarding a Freyja-Frigg origin hypothesis, scholar Stephan Grundy comments that " the problem of whether Frigg or Freyja may have been a single goddess originally is a difficult one, made more so by the scantiness of pre-Viking Age references to Germanic goddesses, and the diverse quality of the sources.

If confirmed, this would imply special relativity is an approximation to a more general theory, but since the relevant comparison would ( by definition ) be outside the observable universe, it is difficult to imagine ( much less construct ) experiments to test this hypothesis.

While the Trivers – Willard hypothesis predicts that birth sex is dependent on living conditions ( i. e. more male children are born in " good " living conditions, while more female children are born in poorer living conditions ), the probability of having a child of either gender is still regarded as 50 / 50.

This is not a hypothesis but an illustration of the fact that any description of the physical world can be equivalently expressed in more than one way.

The latter hypothesis seems the more plausible evolution determinant as the surface area of the head is minute compared to the remainder of the body, thus the energy required in producing long hair for the express purpose of " optical " amplification of UV light reflected from the snow seems counterproductive ( however, it's very likely that the trait was sustained due to a nuanced combination of multiple influences, given that human hunting-skills and ingenuity were such by 50, 000 years ago that said benefits in terms of ' comfort ' could have alternatively been derived from constructing head and ear warmers of fur from prey, etc .).

We could test the hypothesis that computers fail more during some times of the year than others.

This was later rejected in the 1820s and 30s following more refined measurements of atomic mass, notably by Jöns Jacob Berzelius, which revealed in particular that the atomic mass of chlorine was 35. 45, which was incompatible with the hypothesis.

After establishing this distinction, Ayer claims that " no proposition, other than a tautology, can possibly be anything more than a probable hypothesis " ( Ayer 1946: 51 ), and therefore can only be subject to weak verification.

The inductive hypothesis was also employed by the Swiss Jakob Bernoulli, and from then on it became more or less well known.

Another bias, which has become more prevalent with the advent of " big science " and the large rewards of new discoveries, is bias in favor of the researcher's favorite hypothesis ; we " see what we want to see ".

An even more speculative hypothesis is that intense radiation from a nearby supernova was responsible for the extinctions.
