If all the brands are similar, they must all be similarly good.

If a similar ball is charged by the same glass rod, it is found to repel the first: the charge acts to force the two balls apart.

If one concept is defined by another, and the other is defined by the first, this is known as circular definition, somewhat similar to a circular reasoning: neither offers us any enlightenment about what we wanted to know.

If the galaxies are of similar size, the resultant galaxy will appear similar to neither of the two galaxies merging, but would instead be an elliptical galaxy.

In 1951, he summed up his vision as follows: " If the camera is to make a contribution at all to dance, this must be the focal point of its contribution ; the fluid background, giving each spectator an undistorted and altogether similar view of dancer and background.

If the physical material that will be used in production is derived from bones, dilute acid solutions are used to remove calcium and similar salts.

* If possessing the ball, players must dribble ( similar to a basketball dribble ), or can take up to three steps for up to three seconds at a time without dribbling.

If one builds a table T of all record numbers, using such a hash function, then similar records will end up in the same bucket, or in nearby buckets.

* Klal ufrat ukhlal, a generality, a particularity and a generality: If there is a particularity inserted between two generalities, we only add cases similar to the particularity.

If the Mesolithic is more similar to the Paleolithic it is called the Epipaleolithic.

If a past storyline wherein a direct depictions of a then-current president or similar is referenced in a later era, it tends to become updated accordingly, sometimes with an " in-joke " acknowledgement.

" If filmed at the higher speed, Grieve concluded that the creature " walked with a gait pattern very similar in most respects to a man walking at high speed.

He asks why postmodernist intellectuals do not respond like people in other fields when asked, " what are the principles of their theories, on what evidence are they based, what do they explain that wasn't already obvious, etc ?... If requests can't be met, then I'd suggest recourse to Hume's advice in similar circumstances: to the flames.

If I have seen that from an ethical point of view I am just one person among the many in my society, and my interests are no more important, from the point of view of the whole, than the similar interests of others within my society, I am ready to see that, from a still larger point of view, my society is just one among other societies, and the interests of members of my society are no more important, from that larger perspective, than the similar interests of members of other societies ...

If Mahzeer was planning to set up the prime minister for Muller he would have to do it in the next few minutes.

If the defendant pleads not guilty, a date is set for a preliminary hearing or a trial.

If they don't then for the algorithm to be effective it must provide a set of rules for extracting a square root.

If we cannot make explicit choices, how do we know that our set exists?

If we try to choose an element from each set, then, because X is infinite, our choice procedure will never come to an end, and consequently, we will never be able to produce a choice function for all of X.

** 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 the set A is infinite, then there exists an injection from the natural numbers N to A ( see Dedekind infinite ).

If the automorphisms of an object X form a set ( instead of a proper class ), then they form a group under composition of morphisms.

* If a set S is in M and S is congruent to T then T is also in M and a ( S )

* Let Q be a set enclosed between two step regions S and T. A step region is formed from a finite union of adjacent rectangles resting on a common base, i. e. S ⊆ Q ⊆ T. If there is a unique number c such that a ( S ) ≤ c ≤ a ( T ) for all such step regions S and T, then a ( Q )

* If M is some set and S denotes the set of all functions from M to M, then the operation of functional composition on S is associative:

* If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.

If a is algebraic over K, then K, the set of all polynomials in a with coefficients in K, is not only a ring but a field: an algebraic extension of K which has finite degree over K. In the special case where K = Q is the field of rational numbers, Q is an example of an algebraic number field.

If X and Y are Banach spaces over the same ground field K, the set of all continuous K-linear maps T: X → Y is denoted by B ( X, Y ).

If the score is tied the set is halved.

If each player wins a set, or both sets end tied, there is a 3-end tiebreaker to determine a winner.

If a node has fewer than two children, some of the child pointers may be set to a special null value, or to a special sentinel node.

Some authors require in addition that μ ( C ) < ∞ for every compact set C. If a Borel measure μ is both inner regular and outer regular, it is called a regular Borel measure.

In the words of Geoffrey Crowther, then editor of The Economist, " If the economic relationships between nations are not, by one means or another, brought fairly close to balance, then there is no set of financial arrangements that can rescue the world from the impoverishing results of chaos.

If, for instance, an addition operation was requested, the arithmetic logic unit ( ALU ) will be connected to a set of inputs and a set of outputs.

If the addition operation produces a result too large for the CPU to handle, an arithmetic overflow flag in a flags register may also be set.
