The responsibility for taking the initiative in generating ideas is that of every officer in the Department who has a policy function, regardless of rank.

Since Af are linearly independent functions and the exponential function has no zeros, these R functions Af, form a basis for the space of solutions.

In some neighborhood of an isolated tangent point in the f-plane, say Af, the function Af is either double-valued or has no values defined, except at the tangent point itself, where it is single-valued.

In the second category the function Af has no values defined in a neighborhood Af.

The values Af are the ordinary values at Af of a multi-valued function g{t} which has components corresponding to those of f{t}.

We first define a function b{t} as follows: given the set of squares such that each has three corners on C and vertex at t, b{t} is the corresponding set of positive parametric differences between T and the backward corner points.

It might be pointed out that the integrating function of religion, for good or ill, has often supported or been identified with other groupings -- political, nationality, language, class, racial, sociability, even economic.

To a much less full extent, the hebephrenic person's belching or flatus has a comparable communicative function ; ;

Moreover, whereas in Interstate Commerce Commission parlance `` variable cost '' means a cost deemed to vary in direct proportion to changes in rate of output, in the type of analysis now under review `` variable cost '' has been used more broadly, so as to cover costs which, while a function of some one variable ( such as output of energy, or number of customers ), are not necessarily a linear function.

271 - 307 ) indicate, that the concept of function in sociology has been built up from physiological and biological models, in which the notions of teleology, i.e., metaphysical purpose, are central.

-- On the basis of a differentiability assumption in function space, it is possible to prove that, for materials having the property that the stress is given by a functional of the history of the deformation gradients, the classical theory of infinitesimal viscoelasticity is valid when the deformation has been infinitesimal for all times in the past.

Since the removal force is a function of coating thickness, a differential transformer pickup has been incorporated into the instrument to accurately measure film thickness.

Even death, therefore, has a providential as well as a punitive function.

They differ from other related families by often being pachycauline ( i. e. with a thickened trunk, usually wider at the base, which has a water storage function ), by usually having succulent leaves, and by possessing a trimerous flower with a superior ovary and seeds with an aryl.

Thus the negation of the axiom of choice states that there exists a set of nonempty sets which has no choice function.

: For any set A, the power set of A ( with the empty set removed ) has a choice function.

: Every set has a choice function.

The statement of the axiom of choice does not specify whether the collection of nonempty sets is finite or infinite, and thus implies that every finite collection of nonempty sets has a choice function.

In the even simpler case of a collection of one set, a choice function just corresponds to an element, so this instance of the axiom of choice says that every nonempty set has an element ; this holds trivially.

( A formal proof for all finite sets would use the principle of mathematical induction to prove " for every natural number k, every family of k nonempty sets has a choice function.

") This method cannot, however, be used to show that every countable family of nonempty sets has a choice function, as is asserted by the axiom of countable choice.
