However, in this approach the question of the change in radius of curvature with s is handled completely formally, consistent with a geometric interpretation, but not relying upon it, thereby avoiding any questions the image above might suggest about neglecting the variation in ρ.

It is to be used as a last resort, or as a supplement to in-situ conservation because it cannot recreate the habitat as a whole: the entire genetic variation of a species, its symbiotic counterparts, or those elements which, over time, might help a species adapt to its changing surroundings.

In such a case, the ships of different design might not be considered of the same class ; each variation would either be its own class, or a subclass of the original class ( see County-class cruiser for an example ).

Proponents included the British botanist George Henslow who studied the effects of environmental stress on the growth of plants in the belief that such environmentally induced variation might explain much of plant evolution, and the American entomologist Alpheus Packard who studied blind animals living in caves and wrote a book in 1901 about Lamarck and his work.

A 1996 study of anxiety-related traits ( shyness being one of these ) remarked that, " Although twin studies have indicated that individual variation in measures of anxiety-related personality traits is 40-60 % heritable, none of the relevant genes has yet been identified ," and that " 10 to 15 genes might be predicted to be involved " in the anxiety trait.

Finally, one might adduce a variation of the Ontological Argument.

Whereas elegant variation in English prose is thought by some to be excessive, in other languages — French, Urdu and Sanskrit, for example — it might be thought to be a good writing style.

** As another variation, figure out every disaster that might occur due to failure of the biosphere, to lesser or greater degree, and calculate the price of insurance against all of it.

In the physical world, any quantity exhibiting variation in time or variation in space ( such as an image ) is potentially a signal that might provide information on the status of a physical system, or convey a message between observers, among other possibilities.

Another variation asks players to write the first line of a novel using the title and the blurb read out from the back of the book as clues.

A further variation of automated sorting uses optical character recognition ( OCR ) to read printed postcodes directly from envelopes, though these systems are best suited to mail that uses a guaranteed layout and addressing format.

* The phrase, as noted by Robert Giffen in 1892, was a variation on a phrase about three types of unreliable witnesses, a liar, a damned liar, and an expert ( Economic Journal 2 ( 6 ) ( 1892 ), 209-238, first paragraph ; the paper was previously read at a meeting of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science at Hobart in January 1892 ).

It's also possible to read the book as a Kafkaesque love and crime story: the beginning of the book is itself a variation of the start of The Trial and The Metamorphosis, both by Franz Kafka.

The band originally called themselves All Night Garage Sale but changed their name to Screeching Weasel, a variation of a name a friend had suggested, Screaming Otter, which was a reference to a t-shirt that read, " I ' VE GOT A SCREAMING OTTER IN MY PANTS !".

But Maimonides in his law code prescribes a slight variation of these three, and the Yemenite Jews read the haftarot that he lists.

Daryush took her father's experiment in syllabic verse a step farther by making it less experimental ; whereas Bridges ' syllable count excluded elidable syllables, producing some variation in the total number of pronounced syllables per line, Daryush's was strictly aural, counting all syllables actually sounded when the poem was read aloud.

The loop formed in this version is a simple Slipped Overhand Loop or a variation using multiple turns of rope to form the eye of the loop.

The steering linkages connecting the steering box and the wheels usually conforms to a variation of Ackermann steering geometry, to account for the fact that in a turn, the inner wheel is actually travelling a path of smaller radius than the outer wheel, so that the degree of toe suitable for driving in a straight path is not suitable for turns.

This is a variation on the older worm and sector design ; the steering column turns a large screw ( the " worm gear ") which meshes with a sector of a gear, causing it to rotate about its axis as the worm gear is turned ; an arm attached to the axis of the sector moves the Pitman arm, which is connected to the steering linkage and thus steers the wheels.

Besides the added dialogue, the one major variation in the novel is that Dr. Light fears Mega Man's chances against Dr. Wily's more powerful new robots and while attempting to duplicate him, accidentally turns him into a human being, a difficulty Mega Man must endure throughout the story.

An evolutionary capacitor is a switch that turns genetic variation on and off.

This is any elbow drop which is performed after applying a headlock, the most widely known variation is an inverted facelock elbow drop in which a wrestler puts his opponent into an inverted facelock, and then turns 180 °, dropping the elbow across the opponent's chest, driving him down to the mat.

Under the alias of assertions of difference, nationalisms, in Japan as elsewhere, borrow promiscuously from each other's conceptual hoards, and what may seem alien turns out often to be, once studied closely, merely an exotic variation on an all too familiar theme.
