But Mercer's explanation was simple: `` I made out the check and carried it around a few days unsigned -- in case I lost it ''.

A simple illustration of such cause and effect is the case of experiencing the effects of what I cause: if I cause suffering, then as a natural consequence I will experience suffering ; if I cause happiness, then as a natural consequence I will experience happiness.

In France, Santo Daime won a court case allowing them to use the tea in early 2005 ; however, they were not allowed an exception for religious purposes, but rather for the simple reason that they did not perform chemical extractions to end up with pure DMT and harmala and the plants used were not scheduled.

The solution of the problem is a special case of a Steiner system, which systems play an important role in the classification of finite simple groups.

This was a spur to having primarily simple parts to play, and in the case of a resident virtuoso group, a spur to writing spectacular, idiomatic parts for certain instruments, as in the case of the Mannheim orchestra.

Each wall, the floor and the ceiling is a simple polygon, in this case, a rectangle.

The first case was done by the Gorenstein – Walter theorem which showed that the only simple groups are isomorphic to L < sub > 2 </ sub >( q ) for q odd or A < sub > 7 </ sub >, the second and third cases were done by the Alperin – Brauer – Gorenstein theorem which implies that the only simple groups are isomorphic to L < sub > 3 </ sub >( q ) or U < sub > 3 </ sub >( q ) for q odd or M < sub > 11 </ sub >, and the last case was done by Lyons who showed that U < sub > 3 </ sub >( 4 ) is the only simple possibility.

One reason for the popularity of the dissociation constant in biochemistry and pharmacology is that in the frequently encountered case where x = y = 1, K < sub > d </ sub > has a simple physical interpretation: when = K < sub > d </ sub >, = or equivalently /(+)= 1 / 2.

In Scottish Gaelic and Irish, the term dative case is misleadingly used in traditional grammars to refer to the prepositional case-marking of nouns following simple prepositions and the definite article.

In the Renaissance period the Italian doors are quite simple, their architects trusting more to the doorways for effect ; but in France and Germany the contrary is the case, the doors being elaborately carved, especially in the Louis XIV and Louis XV periods, and sometimes with architectural features such as columns and entablatures with pediment and niches, the doorway being in plain masonry.

The Nova was packaged into a single rack mount case and had enough power to do most simple computing tasks.

The Romans Road refers to a set of scriptures from Romans that Christian evangelists use to present a clear and simple case for personal salvation for each person.

All this was simple compared to D. W. Griffith's Intolerance ( 1916 ), in which four parallel stories are intercut throughout the whole length of the film, though in this case the stories are more similar than contrasting in their nature.

It is not even rigorously proved whether DFTs truly require ( i. e., order or greater ) operations, even for the simple case of power of two sizes, although no algorithms with lower complexity are known.

However, other regulatory processes rely on simple diffusion to maintain a balance.

Lack of archaeological evidence of iron production made it seem unlikely that it had begun earlier elsewhere, and the Iron Age was seen as a case of simple diffusion of a new and superior technology from an invention point in the Near East to other regions.

New dates from India suggest that iron was being worked there as early as 1800 BC, and African sites are turning up dates as early as 1200 BC, confounding the idea that there was a simple discovery and diffusion model.

It is said that a " simple representation diffusion curves is capable of representing even very subtle shading effects " and that " Diffusion curve images are comparable both in quality and coding efficiency with gradient meshes, but are simpler to create ( according to several artists who have used both tools ), and can be captured from bitmaps fully automatically.

Oxygen uptake occurs to an extent via simple diffusion through the entire body surface, with the coxal vesicles on the legs possibly being involved in some species.

This mechanism of water flow works because of water potential ( water flows from high to low potential ), and the rules of simple diffusion.

Bacteria obtain their nutrients via simple diffusion process across their cell-membrane, as they lack the sophisticated nutrient uptake mechanism found in eukaryotes.

Members of Eosentomoidea possess spiracles and a simple tracheal system while those in the Acerentomoidea lack these structures and perform gas exchange by diffusion.

Insects were once believed to exchange gases with the environment continuously by the simple diffusion of gases into the tracheal system.

It does not include transport of substances by simple diffusion.

In the gut, for example, sodium is transported out of the reabsorbing cell on the blood ( interstitial fluid ) side via the Na < sup >+</ sup >- K < sup >+</ sup > pump, whereas, on the reabsorbing ( luminal ) side, the Na < sup >+</ sup >- Glucose symporter uses the created Na < sup >+</ sup > gradient as a source of energy to import both Na < sup >+</ sup > and glucose, which is far more efficient than simple diffusion.

If the assumptions used to justify this simplified approximation ( i. e. steady-state heat conduction, no convection or advection ) are accepted, we define the simple 1-dimensional heat diffusion equation where temperature T at a depth z and time t is given by the equation:

Instead of being pictured as a fashion or a simple diffusion of objects and their use, the investigation of over 300 sites showed that human groups actually moved in a process that involved explorations, contacts, settlement, diffusions and acculturation / assimilation.

The alveolar ducts and alveoli consist primarily of simple squamous epithelium, which permits rapid diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

It is presumed not to have methylmercury's ability to cross the blood – brain barrier via a transporter, but instead relies on simple diffusion to enter the brain.

Dissolved gases are brought to cells and enter the cells via simple diffusion.

Osmosis is much like simple diffusion but it specifically describes the movement of water ( not the solute ) across a membrane until there is an equal concentration of water and solute on both sides of the membrane.

) simple diffusion, occurs when a nonpolar molecule, such as O < sub > 2 </ sub >, CO < sub > 2 </ sub >, and NH < sub > 3 </ sub > that follow a concentration gradient, can passively move through the lipid bilayer membrane without the use of transport proteins.

In unicellular organisms, simple diffusion is sufficient for gas exchange: every cell is constantly bathed in the external environment, with only a short distance for gases to flow across.

simple: Confusion and diffusion

A simple example wherein two solutions — A and B — are separated by a porous barrier illustrates that diffusion will ensure that they will eventually mix into equal solutions.

He caused a furor in the 1970s when his research on early Islamic manuscripts, including the analysis of the repeated use of monotheistic Judeo-Christian imagery found in the Qur ' an led him to posit that the rise of Islam was a mutation of what was originally a Judeo-Christian sect trying to spread in Arab lands, rather than by simple cultural diffusion.

This structure makes transport possible by simple or passive diffusion, which consists of the diffusion of substances through the membrane without expending metabolic energy and without the aid of transport proteins.
