It is a story not of an individual magically imprinting his personality on an institution — what Salonen has called the " empty hype " of conductor worship — but of an individual and an institution bringing out unforeseen capabilities in each other, and thereby proving how much life remains in the orchestra itself, at once the most conservative and the most powerful of musical organisms.

Though it has seemed " obvious " to mathematicians literally for centuries that proving B from A conjoined with a set of theorems is sufficient to proving the implication A → B based on those theorems alone, it was left to Herbrand and Tarski to show ( independently ) this was logically correct in the general case — another instance, perhaps, of modern logic " cleaning up " mathematical practice.

Thus, instead of defending their absent emperor, the Varangians were used by the usurpers — proving their loyalty to the throne, if not always the current occupier of that throne.

* Unspecified ( NOS ) comorbidity: This type assumes the presence of singular pathogenetic mechanisms of development of diseases, comprising this combination, but require a number of tests, proving the hypothesis of the researcher or physician ( for example, erectile dysfunction as an early sign of general atherosclerosis ( ASVD ); occurrence of erosive-ulcerative lesions in the mucous membrane of the upper gastrointestinal tract in “ vascular ” patients ).

Dirichlet also studied the first boundary value problem, for the Laplace equation, proving the unicity of the solution ; this type of problem in the theory of partial differential equations was later named the Dirichlet problem after him.

Joe Wells ( 1994 ) settled an " embarrassing open problem " by proving that type checking is undecidable for a Curry-style variant of System F, that is, one that lacks explicit typing annotations.

Although selected trials showed no evidence proving the effectiveness of NDT as the optimal type of treatment, neither did they show evidence of non-efficacy because of methodological limitations.

It is along this way that Hawking succeeded in proving that time machines of a certain type ( those with a " compactly generated Cauchy horizon ") cannot appear without exotic matter.

have shown that the average number of solutions to the 4 / n problem ( averaged over the prime numbers up to n ) is upper bounded polylogarithmically in n. For some other Diophantine problems, it is possible to prove that a solution always exists by proving asymptotic lower bounds on the number of solutions, but proofs of this type exist primarily for problems in which the number of solutions grows polynomially, so Elsholtz and Tao's result makes a solution of this type less likely.

The proving ground was created as a successor to the Sandy Hook Proving Ground, which was too small for some of the larger weapons being tested.

) However, this bound is small enough that any single odd number below the bound can be verified by existing primality tests such as elliptic curve primality proving, which generates a proof of primality and has been used on numbers with as many as 26, 643 digits.

Three British tanks were successfully tested for cross-country ability at the small proving ground near Moscow on Poklonnaya Hill in January 1931.

During its first ten months, over 100, 000 HA Vivas were made, and by 1966 the HA had chalked up over 306, 000 sales, proving that Vauxhall had made a successful return to the small car market, which they had abandoned following World War Two.

Despite the gains of amphibious floats, small flying boat amphibians continued to be developed into the 1960s, with the Republic Seabee and Lake LA-4 series proving popular, though neither was a commercial success due to factors beyond their makers control.

Apart from its financial aspect it had possessed a legal importance as the test, according to Bracton, of tenure by knight-service, its payment, on however small a scale, proving the tenure to be " military " with all the consequences involved.

This reactor was an initial small technology proving reactor for a following development program of larger Magnox reactors.

Thales, so the story goes, because of his poverty was taunted with the uselessness of philosophy ; but from his knowledge of astronomy he had observed while it was still winter that there was going to be a large crop of olives, so he raised a small sum of money and paid round deposits for the whole of the olive-presses in Miletus and Chios, which he hired at a low rent as nobody was running him up ; and when the season arrived, there was a sudden demand for a number of presses at the same time, and by letting them out on what terms he liked he realized a large sum of money, so proving that it is easy for philosophers to be rich if they choose.

However, these small changes were not enough to save the show, the timeslot change proving fatal.

As a result, the specialized anti-elephant Roman chariots were quickly deployed by legion commanders ; though briefly proving effective, the small force was eventually overwhelmed by Greek psiloi.

The arrival of the German Afrika Korps under command of General der Infanterie Erwin Rommel highlighted the weaknesses of the British approach: the small number of infantry and artillery in each armoured division was sufficient when attacking the immobile and uncoordinated Italian troops, but against the highly mobile, well-coordinated German units, the undermanned Commonwealth formations were proving inadequate.

In English law, proving corporate manslaughter and securing a conviction of an individual where the corporation involved is a small concern are easier where it is easier to identify a " controlling mind " ( in R v OLL Ltd, 1994, about the Lyme Bay canoeing tragedy, managing director Peter Kite was convicted ), but efforts to convict people in larger corporate entities tends to fail as the management structure is more diffuse making this identification more difficult.
