If integration via the bus is achieved, the data warehouse, through its two data marts, will not only be able to deliver the specific information that the individual data marts are designed to do, in this example either " Sales " or " Production " information, but can deliver integrated Sales-Production information, which, often, is of critical business value.

If the refractive index is lower on the other side of the boundary and the incident angle is greater than the critical angle, no light can pass through and all of the light is reflected.

If the incident ray is precisely at the critical angle, the refracted ray is tangent to the boundary at the point of incidence.

If for example, visible light were traveling through acrylic glass ( with an index of refraction of 1. 50 ) into air ( with an index of refraction of 1. 00 ), the calculation would give the critical angle for light from acrylic into air, which is

If f is a differentiable function on R ( or an open interval ) and x is a local maximum or a local minimum of f, then the derivative of f at x is zero ; points where are called critical points or stationary points ( and the value of f at x is called a critical value ).

If the function is differentiable, the minima and maxima can only occur at critical points or endpoints.

If there are some positive and some negative eigenvalues, then the critical point is a saddle point, and if none of these cases hold ( i. e., some of the eigenvalues are zero ) then the test is inconclusive.

If a crit is inflicted, a second roll is made on the appropriate critical table.

Zinn regularly included it in his lists of recommended readings, and after Barack Obama was elected President of the United States, Zinn wrote, " If Richard Hofstadter were adding to his book The American Political Tradition, in which he found both ' conservative ' and ' liberal ' presidents, both Democrats and Republicans, maintaining for dear life the two critical characteristics of the American system, nationalism and capitalism, Obama would fit the pattern.

** If S is a set of sentences of first-order logic and B is a consistent subset of S, then B is included in a set that is maximal among consistent subsets of S. The special case where S is the set of all first-order sentences in a given signature is weaker, equivalent to the Boolean prime ideal theorem ; see the section " Weaker forms " below.

If a Borel function happens to be a section of some map, it is called a Borel section.

If every element has exactly one inverse as defined in this section, then the semigroup is called an inverse semigroup.
