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 a decomposition exists with each c < sub > i </ sub > a centrally primitive idempotent, then R is a direct sum of the corner rings c < sub > i </ sub > Rc < sub > i </ sub >, each of which is ring irreducible.

If a crest of a wave meets a crest of another wave of the same frequency at the same point, then the magnitude of the displacement is the sum of the individual magnitudes – this is constructive interference.

# If A is a disjoint union of countably many disjoint Lebesgue measurable sets, then A is itself Lebesgue measurable and λ ( A ) is equal to the sum ( or infinite series ) of the measures of the involved measurable sets.

If the field had characteristic p > 0, then − 1 would be the sum of p − 1 ones, but − 1 is not positive ).

If then we obtain a contradiction, because the sum does not exceed which is finite.

On 11 June 1304, with both of them having witnessed the heroic efforts of their countrymen during King Edward's siege of Stirling Castle, Bruce and William Lamberton made a pact that bound them, each to the other, in “ friendship and alliance against all men .” If one should break the secret pact, he would forfeit to the other the sum of ten thousand pounds.

If the total gains of the participants are added up, and the total losses are subtracted, they will sum to zero.

If any two functions are solutions to Laplace's equation ( or any linear homogeneous differential equation ), their sum ( or any linear combination ) is also a solution.

If so, they may have originally comprised residual Celtic elements in central eastern Europe such as the Cotini, who formed a Celtic enclave in the Germanic-speaking zone and are described by Tacitus as iron-ore miners working as tributaries of the powerful Quadi Germanic people.

If a government is in the habit of appointing and replacing the governor frequently, it clearly has the capacity to micro-manage the central bank through its choice of governors.

If are independent and identically distributed random variables, each with a standard Cauchy distribution, then the sample mean has the same standard Cauchy distribution ( the sample median, which is not affected by extreme values, can be used as a measure of central tendency ).

If the derived subgroup is central, then

If hypertonic therapy continues or is too rapid, the extracellular tonicity will continue to drive water out of the brain's cells, leading to cellular dysfunction and the condition of central pontine myelinolysis.

If decentralized socialism cannot work, central authorities must plan production.

If a is a central idempotent, then the corner ring is a ring with multiplicative identity a.

If the manifold is a circle these are called loop groups, and have central extensions whose Lie algebras are ( more or less ) Kac – Moody algebras.

If the password is carried as electrical signals on unsecured physical wiring between the user access point and the central system controlling the password database, it is subject to snooping by wiretapping methods.

If a cluster contains 3 values, then the central value will be black and each value stored on its sides will be red.

If the central node is passive, the originating node must be able to tolerate the reception of an echo of its own transmission, delayed by the two-way transmission time ( i. e. to and from the central node ) plus any delay generated in the central node.

If for uneven, and for even, then if it is calculated with the central difference scheme.

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