Dubuat considered that if water were a perfect fluid, and the channels in which it flowed infinitely smooth, its motion would be continually accelerated, like that of bodies descending in an inclined plane.

The experiments of Bossut were made only on pipes of a moderate declivity, but Dubuat used declivities of every kind, and made his experiments upon channels of various sizes.

It is therefore better to assume that Christie provided no authoritative chronology for Poirot's retirement, but assumed that he could either be an active detective, a consulting detective or a retired detective as the needs of the immediate case required.

For example, Euclid assumed implicitly that any line contains at least two points, but this assumption cannot be proved from the other axioms, and therefore must be an axiom itself.

Earth is assumed to be an infinite source of equal amounts of positive and negative charge, and is therefore electrically uncharged — and unchargeable.

This Logos, the Son of God, owns divinity for participation ( and not originally like the Father ), could therefore change ( Eusebius, with most early theologians, assumed God was immutable ), and he assumed a human body without altering the immutable divine Father.

Literal Christian interpreters like Henry M. Morris say that the stranger was " God Himself and, therefore, Christ in His preincarnate state ", citing Jacob's own evaluation and the name he assumed thereafter, " one who fights victoriously with God ", and adding that God had appeared in the human form of the Angel of the L < SMALL > ORD </ SMALL > to eat a meal with Abraham in Genesis 18.

Wycliffe's doctrine of atoms connects itself, therefore, with the doctrine of the composition of time from real moments, but is distinguished by the denial of interspaces as assumed in other systems.

For end-users the use of MPLS is not visible directly, but can be assumed when doing a traceroute: only nodes that do full ip routing are shown as hops in the path, thus not the MPLS nodes used in between, therefore when you see that a packet hops between two very distant nodes and hardly any other ' hop ' is seen in that providers network ( or AS ) it is very likely that that network uses MPLS.

As these appointments were routine in nature, Marshall assumed the new Secretary of State James Madison would see they were delivered, since " they had been properly submitted and approved, and were, therefore, legally valid appointments.

When it was realized that the Kadu languages were not Niger – Congo, the were commonly assumed to therefore be Nilo-Saharan, but evidence for this has not been presented.

Such wheels are known to have been used for portable cultic stands in the Aegean region during this period, and it is therefore assumed that this building served cultic functions.

Richard ’ s chief biographer, Jean de Toulouse, writes that when Richard died in 1173 he was still young and so it therefore must be assumed that he entered the Order well into its second period of development, near the end of Hugh ’ s life.

It is therefore assumed that Sophie witnessed many discussions between her father and his friends on politics and philosophy.

They attempt to show that the assumed propositions lead to a logical contradiction and therefore cannot all be correct.

Although rejecting the physical act of mastication, he nevertheless assumed the real presence of the body of Christ and therefore also a real self-impartation.

If the bezel could be turned the other way this could suggest to a diver that the elapsed time was shorter than the truth, thus giving a falsely low elapsed time reading and therefore an assumed falsely low air consumption reading and falsely high remaining air reading, all of which could be highly dangerous.

This deal has also defied every attempt to solve it by several exhaustive-search software solvers, and is therefore assumed to be impossible.

The president's inner circle assumed that it had only a short time in which to act on privatization ; it therefore needed to take steps that would have a large and immediate impact, making the reversal of reform prohibitively costly for their opponents.

Curators typically assumed that similar causes produce similar effects ; therefore, in order to understand the causes of human action, they grouped similar artifacts together — regardless of provenance.

When steady state conditions are assumed the total time derivate of phonon number is zero, because the temperature is constant in time and therefore the phonon number stays also constant.

The Emperor therefore assumed the powers once held by the kings, but he used the apparatus of the republic to exercise them.

It may therefore be assumed that the relationship between the Israelite measurements and SI units is the same as the relationship between the Babylonian system and SI Units.

On 18 June 1994, UVF members machine-gunned a pub in Loughinisland, County Down on the basis that its customers were watching the Republic of Ireland national football team playing in the World Cup on television and were therefore assumed to be Catholics.

Corroborating evidence ( in " corroboration ") is evidence that tends to support a proposition that is already supported by some initial evidence, therefore confirming the proposition.

Euclid frequently used the method of proof by contradiction, and therefore the traditional presentation of Euclidean geometry assumes classical logic, in which every proposition is either true or false, i. e., for any proposition P, the proposition " P or not P " is automatically true.

Jains, therefore, developed logic that encompasses seven-fold predication so as to assist in the construction of proper judgment about any proposition.

After establishing this distinction, Ayer claims that " no proposition, other than a tautology, can possibly be anything more than a probable hypothesis " ( Ayer 1946: 51 ), and therefore can only be subject to weak verification.

The mechanism which explains the connection between the mental and the physical would therefore be a philosophical proposition as compared to a scientific theory.

Falsification is one of the most rigorous tests to which a scientific proposition can be subjected: if just one observation does not fit with the proposition it is considered not valid generally and must therefore be either revised or rejected.

Study of such churches in denominational terms is therefore a more complex proposition.

Since the late-1990s, some markets have restricted sales to the all-wheel drive model — therefore granting the Impreza a unique selling proposition in the global compact class characterized by front-wheel drive.

In 1922, for example, Alfred J. Lotka referred to Boltzmann as one of the first proponents of the proposition that available energy can be understood as the fundamental object under contention in the biological, or life-struggle and therefore also in the evolution of the organic world.

Finland ’ s current form of government, which is currently incompatible with the conditions, requires a complete renewal and therefore has the Government now submitted a proposition for a new Constitution to the Parliament ’ s council, a proposition that is based on the principle that Finland is to be a sovereign republic.

His most famous proposition is I think, therefore I am, or Cogito ergo sum.

Abstractly, in trying to prove a proposition P, one assumes that it is false, and that therefore there is at least one counterexample.

Reductio ad absurdum, reducing to an absurdity, is a method of proof in logic and mathematics, whereby assuming that a proposition is true leads to absurdity ; a proposition is assumed to be true and this is used to deduce a proposition known to be false, therefore the original proposition must have been false.

Although many scholars therefore view Ham as an eponym used to represent Egypt in the Table of Nations, a number of Christians throughout history, including Origen and the Cave of Treasures, have argued for the alternate proposition that Ham represents all black people, his name symbolising their dark skin colour ; pro-slavery advocates, from Eutychius of Alexandria and John Philoponus, to American pro-slavery apologists, have therefore occasionally interpreted the narrative as a condemnation of all black people to slavery.

When Henry Clay's proposition to send a minister to Buenos Aires and therefore recognize Argentina in its bid for independence from Spain, Floyd was in support and urged recognition as a matter of national self-interest and justice.
