If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If you are unable to sign the request, because of illness or other good cause, another person who stands in close personal or business relationship to you may sign the request on your behalf, stating the reason why you are unable to sign.

If our SAC bombers were, today, capable of surviving a surprise missile attack and because of infinite dispersion or long endurance had the capability to strike at Russia again, and again, and again, those bombers would unquestionably assure our military dominance.

If you walk into the ring because it is fun to show your dog, he will feel it and give you a good performance!!

If Af is the operator induced on Af by T, then evidently Af, because by definition Af is 0 on the subspace Af.

If D denotes the differentiation operator and P is the polynomial Af then V is the null space of the operator p (, ), because Af simply says Af.

If he foresaw any problem because of the quality of the hymen, it was recommended that simple procedures be undertaken at once to incise the hymen or, preferably, to dilate it.

If a child does lose his first teeth prematurely because of decay -- and if no preventive steps are taken -- the other teeth may shift out of position, become overcrowded and malformed.

If Felix was still wearing the hat and carrying the horn because he'd forgotten about them, he now remembered.

If there had been, he would have found a loophole, because Arnold is one golfer who knows the code as thoroughly as the man who wrote the book.

If they say I could have stopped her it is because they are ignorant of her last weeks of self-examination, her search into herself and its conclusions.

If I get a low M. R., I do so because I want it that way or my dark self does.

If I die, I die because I willed it so.

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 a mistake had been made, from the assembly's viewpoint it could only be because it had been misled.

Immanuel Kant, writing in 1790, observes of a man " If he says that canary wine is agreeable he is quite content if someone else corrects his terms and reminds him to say instead: It is agreeable to me ," because " Everyone has his own ( sense of ) taste ".

The case of " beauty " is different from mere " agreeableness " because, " If he proclaims something to be beautiful, then he requires the same liking from others ; he then judges not just for himself but for everyone, and speaks of beauty as if it were a property of things.

If the next data item is not available when it is needed, the codec has no choice but to produce silence or guess — and if the data is late, it is useless, because the time period when it should have been converted to a signal has already passed.

If the shore is the Campo dell ' Oro ( gold because of the sand?

If a planet is found to rotate slower than expected, then astronomers suspect that the planet is accompanied by a satellite, because the total angular momentum is shared between the planet and its satellite in order to be conserved.

If a normally biennial plant is grown in extremely harsh conditions, it is likely to be treated as an annual because it will not survive the winter cold.

If a party has gained more direct mandates in a Land than it is entitled to according to the results of the second vote, it does not forfeit these mandates because all directly elected candidates are guaranteed a seat in the Bundestag.

If a batter reaches first base because of offensive interference by a preceding runner ( including if a preceding runner is hit by a batted ball ), he is also credited with a hit.

If anyone asked us, after we made the remark that the suffering was a bad thing, whether we should think it relevant to what we said to learn that the incident had never occurred and no pain had been suffered at all, we should say that it made all the difference in the world, that what we were asserting to be bad was precisely the suffering we thought had occurred back there, that if this had not occurred, there was nothing left to be bad, and that our assertion was in that case mistaken.

If so, according to, this incident resulted that the Bi officials inadvertently revolted against their own lord through Confucius ' doing, thus forcing Viscount Ji Huan's hand in having to dismantle the walls of Bi ( as it could have harbored such rebels ) or confess to instigating the event by going against proper conduct and righteousness as an official.

If the incident light is monochromatic, these sources all have the same phase.

If the incident light is unpolarised ( containing an equal mix of s-and p-polarisations ), the reflection coefficient is

If the applied voltage is large enough, the liquid crystal molecules in the center of the layer are almost completely untwisted and the polarization of the incident light is not rotated as it passes through the liquid crystal layer.

If they speak to police about the incident before invoking the Miranda right to remain silent, or afterwards at any point during the interrogation or detention, the words they speak may be used against them if they have not stated they do not want to speak to police.

If no signs of pain can be elicited, surgery should be performed within 24 hours of the incident, to remove the disc material and relieve pressure on the spinal cord.

If the intensity of the incident radiation is increased, there is no effect on the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons.

If an electron of energy E is incident upon an energy barrier of height U ( z ), the electron wave function is a traveling wave solution,

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 the fraction is greater than 1, then arcsine is not defined — meaning that total internal reflection does not occur even at very shallow or grazing incident angles.

If a plane wave, confined to the xz plane, is incident on a dielectric with an angle and wavevector then a transmitted ray will be created with a corresponding angle of transmittance as shown in Fig.

If a record is maintained, the receiving hospital doctor can see a trauma score time series from the start of the incident, which may allow definitive treatment earlier.

If instead it refers to the signal power incident on the detector system, it is called the optical NEP.

If the radio wave frequency is decreased, a point is reached where all waves ( even vertically incident waves ) are reflected back to the Earth.

If the axis of polarization of the incident wave is chosen so that it makes a 45 ° with the fast and slow axes of the waveplate, then E < sub > f </ sub > = E < sub > s </ sub > ≡ E, and the resulting wave upon exiting the waveplate is

In the meantime, Slick recorded a comic song about this incident, " Never Argue With A German If You're Tired ," which appeared on Bark.

If there is a direct solution, it attempts to resolve the incident at the first level.

If the service desk cannot solve the incident then it is passed to a 2nd / 3rd level group within the incident management system.

In an August 14, 2007, interview, she commented on all her well-publicized, outspoken views, in particular the Aladdin incident by noting, " If I had it to do over I would be much more gracious to everyone ... you can be as outspoken as you want if you are very, very respectful.

If the incident wavefront is severely aberrated, very little light may get through.

If the caller is unsure as to which service they require, the operator will default the call to the police, and if an incident requires more than one service, for instance a road traffic collision with injuries and trapped people, depending on the service the caller has chosen, this service will alert the other services for the caller ( while the operator has to also contact each emergency service individually, regardless of whether the caller has remained on the line ).
