If there is refraction at a collective spherical surface, or through a thin positive lens, O ' 2 will lie in front of O ' 1 so long as the angle u2 is greater than u1 ( under correction ); and conversely with a dispersive surface or lenses ( over correction ).

If the eigenvalues are all positive, then the frequencies are all real and the stationary point is a local minimum.

If a " positive list " approach were taken, only species evaluated and approved for the positive list would be permitted in trade, thus lightening the review burden for member states and the Secretariat, and also preventing inadvertent legal trade threats to poorly known species.

To make a figure larger or smaller is equivalent to multiplying the Cartesian coordinates of every point by the same positive number m. If ( x, y ) are the coordinates of a point on the original figure, the corresponding point on the scaled figure has coordinates

If h is positive, then a + h is on the high part of the step, so the secant line from a to a + h has slope zero.

If the electrode has a positive potential with respect to the SHE, then that means it is a strongly reducing electrode which forces the SHE to be the anode ( an example is Cu in aqueous CuSO < sub > 4 </ sub > with a standard electrode potential of 0. 337 V ).
