If one takes the median of 17 of these 22 compositions for rockets ( 75 % nitrates, 9. 06 % sulfur, and 15. 94 % carbon ), it is nearly identical to the modern reported ideal gunpowder recipe of 75 % potassium nitrate, 10 % sulfur, and 15 % carbon.

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 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 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 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.

If ΔH is positive, the reaction is endothermic, that is heat is absorbed by the system due to the products of the reaction having a greater enthalpy than the reactants.

If the nasal was absorbed by a stressed vowel, it would also lengthen the vowel.

If the photon energy is absorbed, some of the energy liberates the electron from the atom, and the rest contributes to the electron's kinetic energy as a free particle.

If light ( photons ) of frequency ν < sub > 12 </ sub > pass through the group of atoms, there is a possibility of the light being absorbed by atoms which are in the ground state, which will cause them to be excited to the higher energy state.

If the number of photons being amplified per unit time is greater than the number of photons being absorbed, then the net result is a continuously increasing number of photons being produced ; the laser medium is said to have a gain of greater than unity.

If the product has an elastic demand, a greater portion of the tax will be absorbed by the seller.

If they are participant in the integral physical expression of a living human being who has absorbed and metabolized them, or if they are now the physical remains of a once-living human being, the substance of what they actually are is human, hence, a human body.

If too many of these neutrons are absorbed by other uranium-235 nuclei, a nuclear chain reaction occurs that results in a burst of heat or ( in special circumstances ) an explosion.

If the product is made too thick or thin, a correspondingly different amount of radiation will be absorbed.

If the NEP refers to the signal power absorbed in the detector, it is known as the electrical NEP.

If the conductor is of a uniform impedance and is properly terminated, the entire transmitted pulse will be absorbed in the far-end termination and no signal will be reflected toward the TDR.

If absorbed, the pressure is the power flux density divided by the speed of light.

If we imagine the beam is made of photons, then every second numerous photons strike the surface and are absorbed.

If the cloud is sufficiently large and the droplets within are spaced far enough apart, a percentage of the light that enters the cloud is not reflected back out but is absorbed giving the cloud a darker look.

If the food moves too quickly through the gastrointestinal tract, there is not enough time for sufficient nutrients and water to be absorbed.

If the lost " recoil energy " is small compared with the energy linewidth of the nuclear transition, then the gamma ray energy still corresponds to the energy of the nuclear transition, and the gamma ray can be absorbed by a second atom of the same type as the first.

If the individual is tolerant, the lactose is digested and absorbed in the small intestine ; otherwise it is not digested and absorbed and it reaches the colon.

If the energy absorbed exceeds this potential, then the electron is emitted as a free electron.

If the brake fluid is old and has absorbed moisture it thus has a lower boiling point and brake fade occurs sooner.

If this urge is not acted upon, the material in the rectum is often returned to the colon by reverse peristalsis where more water is absorbed, thus temporarily reducing pressure and stretching within the rectum.

If light falling on the device is of high enough frequency, photons absorbed by the semiconductor give bound electrons enough energy to jump into the conduction band.

If the bandgap is too high, most daylight photons cannot be absorbed ; if it is too low, then most photons have much more energy than necessary to excite electrons across the bandgap, and the rest is wasted.

If a Wing falls to fewer than 12 healthy dragon / rider pairs, the Wing is disbanded and absorbed by other Wings.
