According to F. W. Dobbs-Allsopp, " the widely observed unity of form and point of view ... and general resemblance in linguistic detail throughout the sequence are broadly suggestive of the work of a single author ," though other scholars see Lamentations as the work of multiple authors.

* Chimera ( EST ), a single cDNA sequence originating from two transcripts

However, if the sequence itself is definable in the sense that we can specify a single formula for all its terms, then its limit will necessarily be a definable number.

* Digraph ( computing ), a two-character sequence used in computing to enter a single conceptual character

They are different from earthquakes followed by a series of aftershocks by the fact that no single earthquake in the sequence is obviously the main shock, therefore none have notable higher magnitudes than the other.

With some exceptions, a three-nucleotide codon in a nucleic acid sequence specifies a single amino acid.

A phoneme may be represented by a multigraph ( sequence of more than one grapheme ), as the digraph sh represents a single sound in English ( and sometimes a single grapheme may represent more than one phoneme, as with the Russian letter я ).

Traditional DNA sequencing techniques such as Maxam-Gilbert or Sanger methods used polyacrylamide gels to separate DNA fragments differing by a single base-pair in length so the sequence could be read.

Aspect can be said to describe the texture of the time in which a situation occurs, such as a single point of time, a continuous range of time, a sequence of discrete points in time, etc., whereas tense indicates its location in time.

The illustration she used of the Cogul painting leaves out a number of figures, human and animal, and the original is more likely a sequence of superimposed but unrelated illustrations, rather than a depiction of a single scene.

If there were a single intron within this sequence, it would look something like this:

Macros are used to make a sequence of computing instructions available to the programmer as a single program statement, making the programming task less tedious and less error-prone.

The polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) is a biochemical technology in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.

( In fact, subtracting 1 and dividing the result by 9 always gives a triangular number, the sequence starting with 3, 55, 903, 3727815, ....) This can be reformulated as follows: adding the digits of any even perfect number ( except 6 ), then adding the digits of the resulting number, and repeating this process until a single digit ( called the digital root ) is obtained, always produces the number 1.

A single iteration of photolithography combines several steps in sequence.

In the case of a transcription factor binding site, then there may be a single sequence that binds the protein most strongly under specified cellular conditions.

For example, the sequence AGGT has 12 ( 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 ) possible single point mutants, AGGA, AGGG and so on ).

Lets say the sequence never mutates and always produces a single offspring.

In bacteria and archaea, more than one ribosome may move along a single mRNA chain at one time, each " reading " its sequence and producing a corresponding protein molecule.

The mirror-like palindrome is similar to those found in ordinary text, in which a sequence reads the same forward and backwards on a single strand of DNA strand, as in GTAATG.

He argued that in contrast to English and other SAE languages, the Hopi language does not treat the flow of time as a sequence of distinct, countable instances, like " three days " or " five years " but rather as a single process and consequentially it does not have nouns referring to units of time.

The string is an object ( a sequence of characters between single quotes is the syntax for literal strings ), created by the compiler at compile time.

# The membrane is then exposed to a hybridization probe — a single DNA fragment with a specific sequence whose presence in the target DNA is to be determined.

A probe that hybridizes only to a single DNA segment that has not been cut by the restriction enzyme will produce a single band on a Southern blot, whereas multiple bands will likely be observed when the probe hybridizes to several highly similar sequences ( e. g., those that may be the result of sequence duplication ).

The town was about what Wilson expected: one main street with its rows of false-fronted buildings, a water tower, a few warehouses, a single hotel ; ;

The mere fact that the tall figure with the rifle and field glasses had been seen riding that way was enough to frighten three rustling homesteaders out of the Upper Laramie country in a single week.

This arrangement was for Copernicus literally monstrous: `` With ( the Ptolemaists ) it is as though an artist were to gather the hands, feet, head and other members for his images from divers models, each part excellently drawn, but not related to a single body ; ;

If Robinson was a liar and a slanderer, he was also a very canny gentleman, for nothing that Pike could do would pry so much as a single word out of him.

However, in this case as elsewhere it was necessary to arrive at a single standard to be applied to all situations, representing an averaging of conditions, and thus to fix particular points in time which would be considered the dividing points between daytime and nighttime conditions.

Thus was invented the single thread sewing machine, which Mr. Gibbs in partnership with Mr. Willcox decided to bring to Brown & Sharpe with the proposal that the small company undertake its manufacture.

A single value of the thermal relaxation time Af at room temperature was measured by the progressive saturation method.

A single measurement of the spin - spin relaxation time Af was obtained at 10 Mc/sec by pulse methods.

The choice of the single member district was dictated to a certain extent by problems of communication and understanding in the more remote areas of the country, but it also served to minimize the national political value of the elections.

In order to be able to properly relate the data for a single company each of the three cards comprising the set for each firm was identified with the appropriate serial number of the respondent.

It was concluded that it would be appropriate to process the two groups of responses as a single sample of all small businesses engaged in, or wishing to sell to, defense programs.

A small single switchboard was installed in the Village over Woodcock's hardware store ( later E. H. Hemenway's ).

But not a single human life was lost, and property damage in the Hawaiian Islands did not exceed $800,000.

She knew also that I was unmarried and without a single known relative.

A single automobile was parked half-way up the block on the left-hand side.

Lemon was on with his fourth single of the game, a liner to center.

Turk Lown was tagged with the loss, his second against no victories, while Ray Moore won his second game against a single loss.

Now all he had to do was finish in even par to collect the trophy and the biggest single paycheck in golf.

On display were 343 first-class paintings and sculptures from his fabled collection -- and every single one of them was up for sale.

The D Minor Sonata, Op. 31 No. 2, introduced by dynamically shaped arpeggios, was most engaging in its moments of quasi-recitative -- single lines in which the fingers seemed to be feeling their way toward the idea to come.

The single largest organization of Anthropologists is the American Anthropological Association ( AAA ), which was founded in 1903.

Early anthropology was divided between proponents of unilinealism, who argued that all societies passed through a single evolutionary process, from the most primitive to the most advanced, and various forms of non-lineal theorists, who tended to subscribe to ideas such as diffusionism.

This central charge would thus be approximately half the atomic weight ( though it was almost 25 % off the figure for the atomic number in gold ( Z = 79, A = 197 ), the single element from which Rutherford made his guess ).

This was the case, for instance, in the Weapon Shop series, the Mixed Men series and in single stories such as " Heir Apparent ", whose protagonist was described as a " benevolent dictator ".
