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 a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

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 I could put your body in an imaginary atomic press and squeeze you down, squeeze these holes out of you in the way we squeeze the holes out of a sponge, you would get smaller and smaller until finally when the last hole was gone, you would be smaller than the smallest speck of dust that you could see on this piece of paper.

If placing a tile causes three or four chains to merge, then the merger steps are handled between the largest and second-largest chain, then with the third-largest chain, and finally with the smallest chain.

If κ is an infinite cardinal number, then cf ( κ ) is the least cardinal such that there is an unbounded function from it to κ ; and cf ( κ ) = the cardinality of the smallest collection of sets of strictly smaller cardinals such that their sum is κ ; more precisely

If S is an arbitrary set, then the set S < sup > N </ sup > of all sequences in S becomes a complete metric space if we define the distance between the sequences ( x < sub > n </ sub >) and ( y < sub > n </ sub >) to be, where N is the smallest index for which x < sub > N </ sub > is distinct from y < sub > N </ sub >, or 0 if there is no such index.

If the four-color conjecture were false, there would be at least one map with the smallest possible number of regions that requires five colors.

# If V is a set of strings then V * is defined as the smallest superset of V that contains λ ( the empty string ) and is closed under the string concatenation operation.

In arithmetic and number theory, the least common multiple ( also called the lowest common multiple or smallest common multiple ) of two integers a and b, usually denoted by LCM ( a, b ), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b. If either a or b is 0, LCM ( a, b ) is defined to be zero.

If the distribution of each X < sub > i </ sub > is limited to the right ( or left ) then the asymptotic distribution of the range is equal to the asymptotic distribution of the largest ( smallest ) value.

If B has a smallest element among the rationals, the cut corresponds to that rational.

# If the destination node has been marked visited ( when planning a route between two specific nodes ) or if the smallest tentative distance among the nodes in the unvisited set is infinity ( when planning a complete traversal ), then stop.

If the legend were true, and if the priests were able to move disks at a rate of one per second, using the smallest number of moves, it would take them 2 < sup > 64 </ sup >− 1 seconds or roughly 585 billion years or 18, 446, 744, 073, 709, 551, 615 turns to finish, much longer than the predicted lifespan of the sun.

If one counts in Gray code of a bit size equal to the number of disks in a particular Tower of Hanoi, begins at zero, and counts up, then the bit changed each move corresponds to the disk to move, where the least-significant-bit is the smallest disk and the most-significant-bit is the largest.

If the number of disks is odd, the smallest disk cycles along the pegs in the order f -> t -> r -> f -> t -> r, etc.

If a smaller size is requested than is available, the smallest available size is selected and halved.

If we take such a tiling and enlarge it so that the formerly smallest tile now has the size of the square S we started out from, then we see that we obtain from this a tiling of the plane with integral squares, each having a different size.

This mapping is called a modular parametrization of level N. If N is the smallest integer for which such a parametrization can be found ( which by the modularity theorem itself is now known to be a number called the conductor ), then the parametrization may be defined in terms of a mapping generated by a particular kind of modular form of weight two and level N, a normalized newform with integer q-expansion, followed if need be by an isogeny.

If any fractional coefficient exist, multiply every coefficient with the smallest number required to make them whole, typically the denominator of the fractional coefficient for a reaction with a single fractional coefficient.

The Château d ' If is a fortress ( later a prison ) located on the island of If, the smallest island in the Frioul Archipelago situated in the Mediterranean Sea about a mile offshore in the Bay of Marseille in southeastern France.

If food is scarce, parents may desert unhatched eggs, or allow the smallest chicks to starve, although the latter strategy appears not to be particularly efficient in protecting the older chicks.

; Generating set: Given a field extension E / F and a subset S of E, we write F ( S ) for the smallest subfield of E that contains both F and S. It consists of all the elements of E that can be obtained by repeatedly using the operations +,-,*,/ on the elements of F and S. If E = F ( S ) we say that E is generated by S over F.

If represents the smallest abundant number not divisible by the first k primes then for all we have:

If no candidate won a majority of votes on the first ballot, the ballots supporting the candidate with the smallest number of votes would be re-distributed according to the voters ' second preferences.

If no such C is specified, one can take the conjugates in some relatively small field L. The smallest possible choice for L is to take a splitting field over K of p < sub > K, α </ sub >, containing α.

If a child had a single drop of Negro blood, he would revert to the ancestral line which, except as slaves under a superior race, had not made one step of progress in 3,000 years.

If **ya is the multiple secant of **zg which passes through Af and **yb is the simple secant of **zg which passes through Af, and if Af are the points in which **ya meets **zg, and if Af is the image of Af on the generator **yb, it follows that the image of the line Af is Af.

If goodness and badness lie in attitudes only and hence are brought into being by them, those men who greeted death and misery with childishly merry laughter are taking the only sensible line.

If the cutting force, Af, is plotted against film thickness, a straight line should result passing through the origin and having slope Af.

If one also removes the second postulate (" a line can be extended indefinitely ") then elliptic geometry arises, where there is no parallel through a point outside a line, and in which the interior angles of a triangle add up to more than 180 degrees.

If light moves instantaneously, the telescope does not move, and the true direction of the star relative to the observer can be found by following the line ES.

Queen Boadicea features in the opening lyrics of the song " The Good Old Days " written by Pete Doherty and Carl Barat for British rock band The Libertines from their 2002 album " Up the bracket ", the line reads, " If Queen Boadicea is long dead and gone, Still then the spirit in her children's children's children, it lives on ".

If that steady-state signal was interrupted, it indicated one of two things: either the operator was about to start transmitting, or something else had happened to break the connection — such as a physical break in the telegraph line.

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 the shooter " hits " the point value again ( any value of the dice that sum to the point will do ; the shooter doesn't have to exactly repeat the value combination of the come-out roll ) before rolling a seven, the Pass line wins and a new round starts, usually with the dice staying with the current shooter.

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 dealer's button is on, the table is in the point round where most casinos will allow a pass line bet to be placed.

If a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 is thrown on the come-out roll ( i. e., if a point is set ), most casinos allow pass line bettors to take odds by placing from one to five times ( and at some casinos, up to 100 times ) the pass line bet behind the pass line.

If a player is playing don't pass instead of pass, they may also lay odds by placing chips behind the don't pass line.

If is any unit vector, the projection of the curl of F onto is defined to be the limiting value of a closed line integral in a plane orthogonal to as the path used in the integral becomes infinitesimally close to the point, divided by the area enclosed.

If the axial load on the column is not concentric, that is, its line of action is not precisely coincident with the centroidal axis of the column, the column is characterized as eccentrically loaded.

* If the offence scores a field goal, the scoring team must kickoff from their own 35-yard line.

* If the offence scores a touchdown, the scoring team must kickoff from their own 35-yard line.

If the original penalty yardage would have resulted in a first down or moving the ball past the goal line, a first down is awarded.

Thus, in 1964, in A Hard Day's Night, John Lennon mischievously taunts the road manager with the line “ If you're gonna have a barney, can I hold your coat ?".

If the bacterium senses that it is moving in the correct direction ( toward attractant / away from repellent ), it will keep swimming in a straight line for a longer time before tumbling.

If the line passes through the leftmost portion of the pixel, only the red subpixel is lit ; if it passes through the rightmost portion of the pixel, only the blue subpixel is lit.
