According to F. W. Dobbs-Allsopp, " the widely observed unity of form and point of view ... and general resemblance in linguistic detail throughout the sequence are broadly suggestive of the work of a single author ," though other scholars see Lamentations as the work of multiple authors.

However, the law of mass action is valid only for concerted one-step reactions that proceed through a single transition state and is not valid in general because rate equations do not, in general, follow the stoichiometry of the reaction as Guldberg and Waage had proposed ( see, for example, nucleophilic aliphatic substitution by S < sub > N </ sub > 1 or reaction of hydrogen and bromine to form hydrogen bromide ).

The basic concepts are moderately straightforward, but intractable to calculate ; and a single elegant algorithm or approach has been elusive for more general purpose renderers.

Continuing debates about the nature of intelligence revolve on whether intelligence can be characterized by a single factor known as general intelligence, multiple factors ( e. g., Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences ), or whether it can be measured at all.

The single was released at the height of the Cold War, when general fears about global nuclear warfare were at a peak.

In general, the availability of a jury trial if properly demanded has given rise to a system where fact finding is concentrated in a single trial rather than multiple hearings, and where appellate review of trial court decisions is greatly limited.

The introduction in 1990 of a laparoscopic clip applier with twenty automatically advancing clips ( rather than a single load clip applier that would have to be taken out, reloaded and reintroduced for each clip application ) made general surgeons more comfortable with making the leap to laparoscopic cholecystectomies ( gall bladder removal ).

( More correctly, in MWI there is only a single universe but after the " split " into " many worlds " these cannot in general interact.

For example, a general purpose processor might require several instructions to test a bit in a register and branch if the bit is set, where a micro-controller could have a single instruction to provide that commonly required function.

A minority government may be formed as a result of a " hung parliament " in which no single party commands a majority in the House of Commons after a general election or the death, resignation or defection of existing members.

In general, each wavelength corresponds to only one element, and the width of an absorption line is only of the order of a few picometers ( pm ), which gives the technique its elemental selectivity.

In general, the scattering cross-section is different from the geometrical cross-section of a particle, and it depends upon the wavelength of light and the permittivity, shape and size of the particle.

In general, EM radiation ( the designation ' radiation ' excludes static electric and magnetic and near fields ) is classified by wavelength into radio, microwave, infrared, the visible spectrum we perceive as visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

In general, emitted fluorescent light has a longer wavelength and lower energy than the absorbed light.

Whether objects heavier than the Planck mass ( about the weight of a large bacterium ) have a de Broglie wavelength is theoretically unclear and experimentally unreachable ; above the Planck mass a particle's Compton wavelength would be smaller than the Planck length and its own Schwarzschild radius, a scale at which current theories of physics may break down or need to be replaced by more general ones.

In general, the refractive index depends on the wavelength ( see dispersion ).

From this general law, it follows that there is an inverse relationship between the wavelength of the peak of the emission of a black body and its temperature when expressed as a function of wavelength, and this less powerful consequence is often also called Wien's displacement law in many textbooks.

In general, the goal of absorption spectroscopy is to measure how well a sample absorbs or transmits light at each different wavelength.

This is again according to general relativity without quantum mechanics, which forbids wavelike particles entering a space smaller than their wavelength.

In general, the relationship between wavelength λ, frequency ν, and the phase velocity v < sub > p </ sub > of a sinusoidal wave is:

This is the more general solution for lithospheric flexure, as it approaches the locally-compensated models above as the load becomes much larger than a flexural wavelength or the flexural rigidity of the lithosphere approaches 0.

Otherwise, when the circuit length is on the order of a wavelength, we must consider more general models, such as the distributed element model ( including transmission lines ), whose dynamic behaviour is described by the Maxwell equations.

In order to write smaller pits onto the recording dye layer a red laser beam with a wavelength of 640 nm ( for general use recordable DVD, versus a wavelength of 780 nm for CD-R ) is used in conjunction with a higher numerical aperture lens.

This becomes important for the structure of a Gravastar because general relativity says that a gravitational well blue-shifts incoming light, so around the extremely large mass of a Gravastar there is a region of " immeasurability " to the outside universe as the wavelength of the light approaches, and then passes, the Planck length.

It is plausible that the benefit that many SAD patients experience are more due to tanning causing them to feel good in general, rather than treating the SAD itself since tanning beds do not produce the wavelength of light needed for effective SAD treatment.

This is quite general, because, except for metals, the reflectivity of most materials depends on their refraction index, which varies little with the wavelength ( though it is this variation that causes the chromatic dispersion in a prism ), so that all colors are reflected nearly with the same intensity.

Superimposed on this general shape are absorption features ( wavelength bands where the intensity is lowered ) that have a variety of origins and can give clues as to the chemical composition of the interstellar material, e. g. dust grains.

The massless thermal wavelength is derived from the more general definition of the thermal wavelength due to Yan ( Yan 2000 ) described below.

And it is clearly argued by Lord Percy of Newcastle, in his remarkable long essay, The Heresy Of Democracy, and in a more general way by Voegelin, in his New Science Of Politics, that this same Rousseauan idea, descending through European democracy, is the source of Marx's theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat.

However, it was not of innocence in general that I was speaking, but of perhaps the frailest and surely the least important side of it which is innocence in romantic love.

It is my studied conviction that no nation will ever risk general war against us unless we should become so foolish as to neglect the defense forces we now so powerfully support.

One might argue that the ultimate purpose of literary scholarship is to correct this spontaneous provincialism that is likely to obscure the horizons of the general public, of the newspaper critic, and of the creative artist himself.

An idea, of the sort that we have in mind, although of necessity readily available to imagination, is more general in connotation than most poetic or literary images, especially those appearing in lyric poems that seek to capture a moment of personal experience.

Although open to the general public it is not overcrowded ; ;

Such a list must naturally be selective, and the treatment of each man is brief, for I am interested only in their general ideas on the moral measure of literature.

He assures us, early in the Poetics, that all art is `` imitation '' and that all imitation gives pleasure, but he distinguishes between art in general and poetic art on the basis of the means, manner, and the objects of the imitation.
