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 there are proteins left in the shell matrix, it is also possible that they can trigger an allergic ( asthmatic ) attack.

If Acorn had thought to include this small modification in the original Electron design it is likely the machine would have had a much greater impact as it would have nearly doubled the amount of motion possible in games and saved modes 0 – 3 ( including the only 16 colour mode ) from being nearly useless due to contended memory timings.

If one die is unable to be moved, but such a move is made possible by the moving of the other die, that move is compulsory.

If we take the simple valence bond structure and mix in all possible covalent and ionic structures arising from a particular set of atomic orbitals, we reach what is called the full configuration interaction wave function.

If we take the simple molecular orbital description of the ground state and combine that function with the functions describing all possible excited states using unoccupied orbitals arising from the same set of atomic orbitals, we also reach the full configuration interaction wavefunction.

If a vulnerability is disclosed before the security patch released by the vendor, a zero-day attack is possible.

If numerical iterative methods have to be employed, the aim is to iterate until full machine accuracy is obtained ( the best that is possible with a finite word length on the computer, and within the mathematical and / or physical approximations made ).

If the addition of a functional group takes place at the less substituted carbon atom of the double bond, then the electrophilic substitution with acids is not possible.

If left untreated, it is possible for chlamydia in men to spread to the testicles causing epididymitis, which in rare cases can cause sterility if not treated within 6 to 8 weeks.

If the differential equations are nonlinear and have a known solution, it may be possible to linearize the nonlinear differential equations at that solution.

If the desired user's code has nothing in common with the signal the correlation should be as close to zero as possible ( thus eliminating the signal ); this is referred to as cross correlation.

If the code is correlated with the signal at any time offset other than zero, the correlation should be as close to zero as possible.

If the situation worsens it is possible that the defenses cease to function altogether and the individual becomes aware of the incongruence of their situation.

If resurrection is not possible or not desired, the player may instead create a new PC to resume playing the game.

If security breach is discovered then all possible corrective actions are taken.

If the target can change its position significantly during the 30 minutes the missile is in the air on its way, the probability of the missile destroying the target is drastically reduced.

`` If asked to choose between a terrible probability and a more terrible possibility, most men will choose the latter ''.

If the response variable is expected to follow a parametric family of probability distributions, then the statistician may specify ( in the protocol for the experiment or observational study ) that the responses be transformed to stabilize the variance.

If a defendant has been convicted and can prove that his lawyer did not adequately handle his case and that there is a reasonable probability that the result of the trial would have been different had the lawyer given competent representation, he is entitled to a new trial.

If there are g ( E ) dE states with energy E to E + dE, then the Boltzmann distribution predicts a probability distribution for the energy:

If the program hasn't halted yet, then it never will, since its contribution to the halting probability would affect the first N bits.

If a probability distribution has a density function f ( x ), then the mean is

If we think of the atoms as impenetrable steel discs and the impinging particle as a bullet of negligible diameter, this ratio is the probability that the bullet will strike a steel disc, i. e., that the atomic projectile will be stopped by the foil.

If the affected bits are independently chosen at random, the probability of a two-bit error being undetected is 1 / n.

If two molecules react, not only molecules of the final reaction products are formed, but also some unstable molecules, having the property of being able to further react with the parent molecules with a far larger probability than the initial reactants.

If a database cannot tolerate even such smaller probability of data loss, then the RAID group itself is replicated ( mirrored ).

If a database cannot tolerate even such smaller probability of data loss, then the RAID group itself is replicated ( mirrored ).

If it is " observed " ( measured with a photon ) not at a particular slit but rather at the screen, then there is no " which path " information as part of the interaction, so the electron's " observed " position on the screen is determined strictly by its probability function.

If multiple fermions have the same spatial probability distribution, then at least one property of each fermion, such as its spin, must be different.

If the coin is fair, then the probability of the next flip being heads is 1 / 2.

If one flips a coin 21 times in a row and obtains 21 heads, one might rationally conclude a high probability of bias towards heads, and hence conclude that future flips of this coin are also highly likely to be heads.

If these bits are known ahead of transmission ( to be a certain value with absolute probability ), logic dictates that no information has been transmitted.

If is the set of all messages that could be, and is the probability of given some, then the entropy of is defined:

If μ is an unknown constant and W is random noise with probability density, then has probability density and is therefore a location family ..

If these relative frequencies are to define the probability, the probability will be slightly different every time it is measured.

If we acknowledge the fact that we only can measure a probability with some error of measurement attached, we still get into problems as the error of measurement can only be expressed as a probability, the very concept we are trying to define.
