If the proper physics are not taken into consideration, injuries may occur.

Frege, however, did not conceive of objects as forming parts of senses: If a proper name denotes a non-existent object, it does not have a reference, hence concepts with no objects have no truth value in arguments.

If anyone shall dare act contrary to this and, recognizing his crime, does not within the space of thirty days make proper amends, let him be cut off from the Church and anathematized.

If G = GL < sub >*</ sub >( K ), then the set of natural numbers is a proper subset of G < sub > 0 </ sub >, since for each natural number n, there is a corresponding identity matrix of dimension n. G ( m, n ) is empty unless m = n, in which case it is the set of all nxn invertible matrices.

If time is the responsible factor, it may be possible to delay cell division in clones, giving time for proper reprogramming to occur.

If I is a right ideal of R, then I is simple as a right module if and only if I is a minimal non-zero right ideal: If M is a non-zero proper submodule of I, then it is also a right ideal, so I is not minimal.

If I is a right ideal of R, then R / I is simple if and only if I is a maximal right ideal: If M is a non-zero proper submodule of R / I, then the preimage of M under the quotient map is a right ideal which is not equal to R and which properly contains I.
