The conventional symbol Z comes from the German word meaning number / numeral / figure, which prior to the modern synthesis of ideas from chemistry and physics, merely denoted an element's numerical place in the periodic table.

This placement is consistent with the modern practice of ordering the elements by proton number, Z, but this number was not known or suspected at the time.

It occupies a central place in modern mathematics and has multiple conceptual connections with such diverse fields as complex analysis, topology and number theory.

In Brazil, a number of modern religious movements based on the use of ayahuasca have emerged, the most famous of them being Santo Daime and the União do Vegetal ( or UDV ), usually in an animistic context that may be shamanistic or, more often ( as with Santo Daime and the UDV ), integrated with Christianity.

Furthermore, a number of ~ omics based on analytical chemistry have become important areas in modern biology.

The strategic importance of the Bosphorus remains high, and control over it has been an objective of a number of hostilities in modern history, notably the Russo – Turkish War, 1877 – 1878, as well as of the attack of the Allied Powers on the Dardanelles during the 1915 Battle of Gallipoli in the course of World War I.

Latin inscriptions in Aquitania preserve a number of words with cognates in reconstructed proto-Basque, for instance the personal names Nescato and Cison ( neskato and gizon mean " young girl " and " man " respectively in modern Basque ).

As a national revival occurred towards the end of the period of Ottoman rule ( mostly during the 19th century ), a modern Bulgarian literary language gradually emerged which drew heavily on Church Slavonic / Old Bulgarian ( and to some extent on literary Russian, which had preserved many lexical items from Church Slavonic ) and later reduced the number of Turkish and other Balkanic loans.

A larger number of modern species utilise bipedal movement for a short time.

* Lituanus Linguistics Index ( 1955 – 2004 ) provides a number of articles on modern and archaic Baltic languages

Later on, they attacked the city of Noreia ( in modern Austria ) shortly before a group of Boii ( 32, 000 according to Julius Caesar-the number is probably an exaggeration ) joined the Helvetii in their attempt to settle in western Gaul.

A few years later, St. Petersburg craftsman Paserbsky further refined the instruments by adding a fully chromatic set of frets and also a number of balalaikas in orchestral sizes with the tunings now found in modern instruments.

The first of the modern review articles on the subject ( MacKie 1965 ) did not, as is commonly believed, propose that brochs were built by immigrants, but rather that a hybrid culture of a small number of immigrants with the native population of the Hebrides produced them in the first century BC, basing them on earlier, simpler promontory forts.

) In reliance on this assumption, modern statutes often leave a number of terms and fine distinctions unstated — for example, a statute might be very brief, leaving the precise definition of terms unstated, under the assumption that these fine distinctions will be inherited from pre-existing common law.

By far the most visible and obvious power of many modern central banks is to influence market interest rates ; contrary to popular belief, they rarely " set " rates to a fixed number.

The new Constitution, brought about a considerable number of institutional and legal reforms based on principles that the delegates considered as more modern, humanist, democratic and politically open than those in the 1886 constitution.

Until his death in 1848, Muhammad Ali Pasha instituted a number of social and economic reforms that earned him the title of founder of modern Egypt.

Common examples are the SATA ports in modern computers, which allow a number of hard drives to be connected without the need for a card.

The Crapsey cinquain has subsequently seen a number of variations by modern poets, including:

In most modern operating systems the size can be any non-negative whole number of bytes up to a system limit.

The commonest modern explanation is that the number seven is not meant to be taken literally, but has a principally numerological significance.

A number of modern Christian writers, such as C. S.

For a number of years Kentucky, Louisiana and several other states have been building state-sponsored vocational education schools that serve nearby school districts in several counties.

Essentially this imposed two conditions: First, international law had to recognize and be compatible with an international political system in which a number of states were competitive, suspicious, and opportunistic in their political alignments with one another ; ;

To proceed from one stage to the next a sufficient number of feed states must be investigated to allow for interpolation ; ;

So we may conceive the coexistence of the infinite number of universal, apparently momentary states of matter, successive one after another in consciousness, but permanent each on its own basic phase of the progressive frequencies.

For example, a writer in a recent number of The Queen hyperbolically states that `` of the myriad imprecations the only one which the English Catholics really resent is the suggestion that they are ' un-English ' ''.

Starting from an initial state and initial input ( perhaps empty ), the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, will proceed through a finite number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing " output " and terminating at a final ending state.

From the 9th century BC, Luwian regions coalesced into a number of states such as Lydia, Caria and Lycia, all of which had Hellenic influence.

Meanwhile the South of the 1850s saw an increasing number of slaves leave the border states through sale, manumission and escape.

The table itself is a visual representation of the periodic law, which states that certain chemical properties of elements repeat periodically when arranged by atomic number.

For example, the prime number theorem states that the number of prime numbers less than or equal to N is asymptotically equal to N / ln N. Therefore the proportion of prime integers is roughly 1 / ln N, which tends to 0.

Typically, elements capable of variable coordination number and / or oxidation states tend to exhibit greater numbers of allotropic forms.

The week was simultaneously celebrated in a number of states in the country.

A number of neo-Assyrian states arose, namely Adiabene, Osroene and Hatra.

I support the cosmological hypothesis which states that the development of the universe is repeated in its basic features an infinite number of times.

The Boltzmann distribution for the fractional number of particles N < sub > i </ sub > / N occupying a set of states i possessing energy E < sub > i </ sub > is:

where is the Boltzmann constant, T is temperature ( assumed to be a well-defined quantity ), is the degeneracy ( meaning, the number of levels having energy ; sometimes, the more general ' states ' are used instead of levels, to avoid using degeneracy in the equation ), N is the total number of particles and Z ( T ) is the partition function.

There are a number of states of movement commonly associated with bipedalism.

( Technically, the quantum states are rays of vectors in the Hilbert space, as corresponds to the same state for any nonzero complex number c .)

California and a number of other Western states, however, have retained the concept of community property derived from civil law.

( see figure ) The effect was observed to be independent of parameters such as the system size and impurities, and in 1981, theorist Robert Laughlin proposed a theory describing the integer states in terms of a topological invariant called the Chern number.

Official sources only states “ the majority of the population is mulatto ” (“… maioritariamente mestiça …”) without stating any number.

The energy bands each correspond to a large number of discrete quantum states of the electrons, and most of the states with low energy ( closer to the nucleus ) are occupied, up to a particular band called the valence band.
