The next traditional step then was to accept it as the authoritative textbook of the Christian faith just as one would accept a treatise on any earthly `` science '', and I submitted to its conditions according to Christ's invitation and promise that, `` If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself '' ( John 7: 17 ).

Jarry once wrote, expressing some of the bizarre logic of ' pataphysics, " If you let a coin fall and it falls, the next time it is just by an infinite coincidence that it will fall again the same way ; hundreds of other coins on other hands will follow this pattern in an infinitely unimaginable fashion ".

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 Macbeth, rather than Malcolm, is Prince of Cumberland then Macbeth would be next in line to the throne and no coup would be needed, effectively removing this ambiguity from Banquo's character.

If so, the next question is whether the patient can respond in a meaningful way to questions and commands.

If the shooter rolls any seven before repeating the point number ( a " seven-out "), the Pass line loses and the dice pass to a new shooter for the next round.

If the frame contains areas where nothing has moved, the system simply issues a short command that copies that part of the previous frame, bit-for-bit, into the next one.

If that is the case, the thrower moves to the drop zone to play the next shot.

If the next time the orbit loops around phase space in a different way, then it is impossible to rectify the vector field in the whole series of patches.

* Scanning: If a is the next symbol in the input stream, for every state in S ( k ) of the form ( X → α • a β, j ), add ( X → α a • β, j ) to S ( k + 1 ).

If we neglect higher than first order terms in the fluctuations, the mass balance equation becomes

:” If we observe the totality of Pissarro ’ s work, we find there, despite fluctuations, not only an extreme artistic will, never belied, but also an essentially intuitive, purebred art.

If an industry is characterized by a varying demand ( that is, a demand with cyclical fluctuations ), it is more difficult for the firms in the cartel to detect whether any change in their sales volume is due to a demand fluctuation or to cheating by another member of the cartel.

If fluctuations are present ( as they always are ) and the sweep is slower than the fluctuation frequency ( as it usually is ), then the I-V is the average current as a function of voltage, which may result in systematic errors if it is analyzed as though it were an instantaneous I-V.

If fluctuations bring the thermodynamic variables back to the starting condition, the structure is likely to go back to its initial configuration.

If launched, LISA will be the first dedicated space-based gravitational-wave detector ; it will measure gravitational waves by using laser interferometry to monitor the fluctuations in the relative distances between three spacecraft, arranged in an equilateral triangle with 5 million kilometer arms, and flying along an Earth-like heliocentric orbit.

If the stationary state of the process is stable, then the unreproducible fluctuations involve local transient decreases of entropy.

If the mechanical regulator design is sensitive to small voltage fluctuations, the motion of the solenoid core can be used to move a selector switch across a range of resistances or transformer windings to gradually step the output voltage up or down, or to rotate the position of a moving-coil AC regulator.

If a string is wound around a circular wire, the total number of times it winds around never changes under local fluctuations.

If the wire is an infinite line, under conditions that the vacuum does not have winding number fluctuations which are coherent throughout the system, the conservation law is a superselection rule --- the probability that the winding will unwind is zero.

* If the supply curve is steeper than the demand curve, then the fluctuations decrease in magnitude with each cycle, so a plot of the prices and quantities over time would look like an inward spiral, as shown in the first diagram.

* If the slope of the supply curve is less than the absolute value of the slope of the demand curve, then the fluctuations increase in magnitude with each cycle, so that prices and quantities spiral outwards.

If a welder attempted to use a CV machine to weld with shielded metal arc welding the small fluctuations in the arc distance would cause wide fluctuations in the machine's output.

If a US investor were to invest directly in the Japanese stocks that comprise the Nikkei, he would be exposed to both fluctuations in the Nikkei index and fluctuations in the USD / JPY exchange rate.

If one took a longer view, say 15 years, the fluctuations would level out and ships on long-time charter would be profitable.

If it is any smaller it is likely to be spontaneously de-magnetized by local thermal fluctuations.

If an actual rate is computed monthly or quarterly, seasonal factors in overhead costs or in the activity base can produce fluctuations in the overhead rate.
