If love reflects the nature of man, as Ortega Y Gasset believes, if the person in love betrays decisively what he is by his behavior in love, then the writers of the beat generation are creating a new literary genre.

If the traits that give these individuals a reproductive advantage are also heritable, that is, passed from parent to child, then there will be a slightly higher proportion of fast rabbits or efficient algae in the next generation.

If an organism lives half as long as others of its species, but has twice as many offspring surviving to adulthood, its genes will become more common in the adult population of the next generation.

If a hybrid isolation model is assumed, it can be estimated that the hypothetical admixture event occurred about 126 generations ago, or 2520 years ago assuming 20 years per generation.

If the demand for power exceeds the supply, generation plants and transmission equipment can shut down which, in the worst cases, can lead to a major regional blackout, such as occurred in the US Northeast blackouts of 1965, 1977, 2003, and in 1996 and 2011.

If this susceptibility itself depends upon the electric field, one can obtain a nonlinear optical effect of magneto-optical parametric generation ( somewhat analogous to a Pockels effect whose strength is controlled by the applied magnetic field ).

If approved, OpCo will have Enron's core assets, including 15, 000 miles of pipeline assets, 75, 000 miles of distribution assets, 6, 700 megawatts of generation, and 12, 000 employees.

If changes in external temperatures or internal heat generation changes are too rapid for equilibrium of temperatures in space to take place, then the system never reaches a state of unchanging temperature distribution in time, and the system remains in a transient state.

Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins noted the band's importance in the early 2010s, saying " If you look at the popular bands of our generation, like Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Nine Inch Nails, Hole, Nirvana and others, you see now clearly that the bands were very influential, very important not only for music but for culture, fashion …"

If a generation ship is sent to a star system 20 light years away is expected to reach its destination in 200 years, then a better ship may be later developed that can reach it in 50 years.

He wrote, " Mr. David Stockman has said that supply-side economics was merely a cover for the trickle-down approach to economic policy — what an older and less elegant generation called the horse-and-sparrow theory: If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.

If the perfect quantity of fuel were added to a slightly subcritical mass to create an " exactly critical mass ", fission would be self-sustaining for one neutron generation ( fuel consumption makes the assembly subcritical ).

If they survive, they are then selected further by differential fertility – that is, their total genetic contribution to the next generation.

If natural selection is the primary error correction mechanism that prevents random mutations on the Y chromosome, then fertility treatments for men with abnormal sperm ( in particular ICSI ) only defer the underlying problem to the next male generation.

If an exploration is required at a point too distant for the transportation of the inflated balloon, an additional apparatus for the generation of hydrogen gas will be required.

In this way, a therapist can facilitate the generation of awareness and insight ( for example, with a stem such as, “ If my fear could speak, it might say —”), as well as shifts in cognitive-motivational structure ( for example, with a stem such as, “ If I were to be kinder to myself when I ’ m afraid —”).

Gallagher became so influential that a June 1996 NME article argued that " If Noel Gallagher, the most successful songwriter of his generation, champions a group, then said group are guaranteed more mainstream kudos and, quite possibly, more sales.

If absolutely necessary, material can be dubbed by copying the edited content onto another tape, however as each copy generation degrades the image cumulatively, this is not desirable.

If the compiler is a sufficiently recent version of gcc, however, automake will inline the dependency generation code to call gcc directly.

If the frequency falls outside a predetermined range the system operator will act to add or remove either generation or load.

If electricity prices were to move to the levels needed to incent new merchant ( i. e., market-based ) transmission and generation, the costs to consumers would be politically difficult.

If is the frequency of the A allele in generation t, then is the frequency of the a allele in generation t, and if there are no other causes of gene frequency change ( no natural selection, for example ), then the change in allele frequency in one generation is

If there are two alternative phenotypes, by definition the phenotype exhibited by the heterozygote is called " dominant " and the " hidden " phenotype is called " recessive ".

If the heterozygote and the functional-allele homozygote have identical phenotypes, the functional allele is dominant to the non-functional allele.

If the genotypes of both parents in a genetic cross are known, Mendel ’ s laws can be used to determine the distribution of phenotypes expected for the population of offspring.

If the benefit outweighs the harm, averaged out over the individuals and environments in which the gene happens to occur, then phenotypes containing the gene will generally be positively selected and thus the abundance of that gene in the population will increase.

If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

If his dancers are sometimes made to look as if they might be creatures from Mars, this is consistent with his intention of placing them in the orbit of another world, a world in which they are freed of their pedestrian identities.

If a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

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

If Wilhelm Reich is the Moses who has led them out of the Egypt of sexual slavery, Dylan Thomas is the poet who offers them the Dionysian dialectic of justification for their indulgence in liquor, marijuana, sex, and jazz.

If he is the child of nothingness, if he is the predestined victim of an age of atomic wars, then he will consult only his own organic needs and go beyond good and evil.

If it is an honest feeling, then why should she not yield to it??

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

If he is good, he may not be legal ; ;

If the man on the sidewalk is surprised at this question, it has served as an exclamation.

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

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 he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If to be innocent is to be helpless, then I had been -- as are we all -- helpless at the start.
