Only its length L is intrinsic to the rod ( shown in black ); coordinate differences between its endpoints ( such as Δx, Δy or Δξ, Δη ) depend on their frame of reference ( depicted in blue and red, respectively ).

Consider the two endpoints of a rod of length L. The length can be determined from the differences in the three coordinates Δx, Δy and Δz of the two endpoints in a given reference frame

Thus, the coordinates differences ( Δx, Δy, Δz ) and ( Δξ, Δη, Δζ ) are not intrinsic to the rod, but merely reflect the reference frame used to describe it ; by contrast, the length L is an intrinsic property of the rod.

According to special relativity, one can change a spatial and time separation ( L < sub > 1 </ sub >, Δt < sub > 1 </ sub >) into another ( L < sub > 2 </ sub >, Δt < sub > 2 </ sub >) by changing one's reference frame, as long as the change maintains the spacetime interval s. Such a change in reference frame corresponds to changing one's motion ; in a moving frame, lengths and times are different from their counterparts in a stationary reference frame.

The typical human reference ranges for serum creatinine are 0. 5 to 1. 0 mg / dl ( about 45-90 μmol / l ) for women and 0. 7 to 1. 2 mg / dl ( 60-110 μmol / L ) for men.

These ideas derived from earlier speculation by Ignatius L. Donnelly that a lost landmass had once existed in the Atlantic, and that it was the home of the Aryan race, a theory he supported by reference to the distribution of swastika motifs.

it is a mystique, and their private language is rich in the multivalent ambiguities of sexual reference so that they dwell in a sexualized universe of discourse.

Without the decay of a sense of objective reference ( except as the imitation of mystery ), the stress on subjective invention would never have been stimulated into being.

Within this frame of reference policies appropriate to claims advanced in the name of the Jews depend upon which Jewish identity is involved, as well as upon the nature of the claim, the characteristics of the claimant, the justifications proposed, and the predispositions of the community decision makers who are called upon to act.

One might, indeed, argue that the history of ideas, in so far as it includes the literatures, must center on characterizations of human nature and that the great periods of literary achievement may be distinguished from one another by reference to the images of human nature that they succeed in fashioning.

No one will deny that such broad developments and transitions are of great intrinsic interest and the study of ideas in literature would be woefully incomplete without frequent reference to them.

Much of his earlier work was conceived in terms of a `` pseudo-anthropological '' myth reference, which is concerned with imaginary places and beings described in grandiloquent and travelogue-like language.

Art `` makings '' or pseudo-anthropological myths did not meet all of Patchen's requirements for a poetic frame of reference.

In the comedy of indefinite reference, it-wit occupies a prominent place because of its frequent occurrence.

Ambiguity arises when the pronoun it carries a twofold reference.

If Af is the change per unit volume in Gibbs function caused by the shear field at constant P and T, and **yr is the density of the fluid, then the total potential energy of the system above the reference height is Af.
