If communities are developed based on something they share in common, whether that be location or values, then one challenge for developing communities is how to incorporate individuality and differences.

If the initial value of a polynomial ( and of its finite differences ) is calculated by some means for some value of X, the difference engine can calculate any number of nearby values, using the method generally known as the method of finite differences.

If some dances, such as polka, cross ethnic boundaries and even cross the boundary between " folk " and " ballroom dance ", ethnic differences are often considerable enough to mention, e. g., Czech polka vs. German polka.

If the Flynn effect has ended in developed nations, then this may possibly allow national differences in IQ scores to diminish if the Flynn effect continues in nations with lower average national IQs.

If Luke was only a sometime companion of Paul who idealized him long after his death, that could explain the differences between Acts and Paul's letter.

If differences exist, we can distinguish between the particles by measuring the relevant properties.

If ( i ) or ( j ) have side effects or introduce run time errors, the subtle differences between ( l ) and ( l ') can be complex.

In addition he says that when property is common, there are natural problems that arise due to differences in labor: " If they do not share equally enjoyments and toils, those who labor much and get little will necessarily complain of those who labor little and receive or consume much.

An example of the intellectual confusion about what heritability is and is not, is the statement: " If all environments were to become equal for everyone, heritability would rise to 100 percent because all remaining differences in IQ would necessarily be genetic in origin ", which Gould said is misleading, at best, and false, at worst.

If necessary, the finite difference can be centered about any point by mixing forward, backward, and central differences.

If the synchronization is not ideal, then the signal to be decoded will not have optimal differences ( in amplitude ) between the various digits or symbols used in the line code.

If the surface is rough enough to create path-length differences exceeding one wavelength, giving rise to phase changes greater than 2π, the amplitude, and hence the intensity, of the resultant light varies randomly.

If the force is not conservative, then defining a scalar potential is not possible, because taking different paths would lead to conflicting potential differences between the start and end points.

If a comparison can be made, the differences between both dialects are probably larger than those between standard American and standard British English, similar to the differences between Brazilian Portuguese and that of Portugal, but far less than those between standard German and Swiss German.

If this idea had been used, then The Man of Steel would have marked the return of the " Original Super-Hero ", as Kal-L ( now switched to Kal-El ) begins his life on the post-Crisis Earth, which is similar to his old life, but with distinct differences.

If such differences are noted or the patient is unable to apply any resisting force, clinical weakness may be noted.

If differences are needed, a common type declaration in C ++ would be to make a generic node class, and then derive layers and groups as subclasses.

* Cost and demand differences between firms: If costs vary significantly between firms, it may be impossible to establish a price at which to fix output.

Some of Nichiren's writings, however, are about how other forms of Buddhism are incorrect ,, inviting other Buddhist sects for debate on their differences: “ If you wish to maintain this land in peace and security, it is imperative that you summon the priests of the other schools for a debate in your presence ”.

If the 22 % correlation was an artifact partly based on factors such as rural recordkeeping, economic, class or ethnic differences in birth patterns, this fact would be blurred by this non-random selection.

If two locations have different total chemical potentials for a species, some of it may be due to potentials associated with " external " force fields ( Electric potential energy differences, gravitational potential energy differences, etc.

If the Union conceded this to them, the same right must be conceded to each remaining state whenever it saw fit to secede: This would destroy the federal balance between it and the states, and in the end sacrifice to the sovereignty of the states all the liberty the citizens had gained by their Union.

If we examine the three types of change from the point of view of their internal structure we find an additional profound difference between the third and the first two, one that accounts for the notable difference between the responses they evoke.

If we grasp this opportunity to build an age of productive partnership between the less fortunate nations and those that have already achieved a high state of economic advancement, we will make brighter the outlook for a world order based upon security and freedom.

If he were to go with White, he would be out there two days, not just listening in the dark at some point between here and Papa-san, but moving ever deeper into enemy land -- behind Papa-san -- itself.

If the Af bond is linear then there are three reasonable positions for the hydrogen atoms: ( 1 ) The hydrogen atoms are centered and hence all lie on a sheet midway between the oxygen sheets ; ;

If one assumes that the average flux did not change between measurements, a mass-distribution curve is obtained which relates the flux of particles larger than a given radius to the inverse 7/2 power of the radius.

If the rake angle **yc of the knife is high enough and the friction angle **yt between the front of the knife and the back of the chip is low enough to give a positive value for Af, the resultant vector R will lie above the plane of the substrate.

`` If there was collusion between an outside murderer and a member of the household it would be an elementary precaution to check on the door later.

`` If asked to choose between a terrible probability and a more terrible possibility, most men will choose the latter ''.

`` If Philip Toynbee is claiming that the choice lies between capitulation and the risk of nuclear war, I think he is right.

If there is a substantial difference between characters ' ranks, the conflict is generally over before the weaker character can react.

* 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 antimatter-dominated regions of space existed, the gamma rays produced in annihilation reactions along the boundary between matter and antimatter regions would be detectable.

If a tile is placed between two hotel chains of the same size, the individual player who places the tile decides which hotel chain remains on the board and which is acquired.

If placing a tile causes three or four chains to merge, then the merger steps are handled between the largest and second-largest chain, then with the third-largest chain, and finally with the smallest chain.

If the pencil with the angle u2 is that of the maximum aberration of all the pencils transmitted, then in a plane perpendicular to the axis at O ' 1 there is a circular disk of confusion of radius O ' 1R, and in a parallel plane at O ' 2 another one of radius O ' 2R2 ; between these two is situated the disk of least confusion.

If the daughter is an only child or her sisters are deceased and have no living issue, she ( or her heir ) is vested with the title ; otherwise, since a peerage cannot be shared nor divided, the dignity goes into abeyance between the sisters or their heirs, and is held by no one.

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 not, the system may either be rejected or accepted on conditions previously agreed between the sponsor and the manufacturer.

If this special relationship does not exist then it not usually spoken of as " backward " compatibility but is instead just " compatible "— a consistent interface allowing interoperability between components and products that were each developed separately.

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 a stranger entered the circle, he had to do so to the woman's right so as not to come between her and her husband.

If rain arrives, it is usually between August and October.

If evolutionary processes are blind to the difference between function F being performed by conscious organism O and non-conscious organism O *, it is unclear what adaptive advantage consciousness could provide.
