I was having lunch not long ago ( apologies to N. V. Peale ) with three distinguished historians ( one specializing in the European Middle Ages, one in American history, and one in the Far East ), and I asked them if they could name instances where the general mores had been radically changed with `` deliberate speed, majestic instancy '' ( Francis Thompson's words for the Hound Of Heaven's Pursuit ) by judicial fiat.

All research within the United States contracted for, sponsored, cosponsored, or authorized under authority of this Act, shall be provided for in such manner that all information, uses, products, processes, patents, and other developments resulting from such research developed by Government expenditure will ( with such exceptions and limitations, if any, as the Secretary may find to be necessary in the interest of national defense ) be available to the general public.

It seems reasonable that if general nuclear war is not to be one cataclysmic act of burning each other's citizens to cinders, we must have a manned strategic force of long-endurance aircraft capable of going into China or Russia to find and destroy their strategic forces which continued to threaten us.

Of majestic build, rubicund and slash-mouthed, he resembled the late General Winfield Scott, who was said to be the most imposing general of his century, if not of all centuries.

Some general things to look for in a site, if you haven't already bought one, are accessibility, water drainage, and orientation.

We can see the general characteristics of the earlier decade if we look at two poems of very different qualities: `` Revulsion '' ( 1866 ) and `` Neutral Tones '' ( 1867 ).

The high casualty figures of the Union alarmed the North ; Grant had lost a third of his army, and Lincoln asked what Grant's plans were, to which the general replied, " I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.

In the British general election the following year, Michael Howard promised to work towards having the prohibition removed if the Conservative Party gained a majority of seats in the House of Commons, but the election was won by Blair's Labour Party.

Though respected for their contributions to various academic disciplines ( respectively mathematics, linguistics, and literature ), the three men became known to the general public only by making often-controversial and disputed pronouncements on politics and public policy that would not be regarded as noteworthy if offered by a medical doctor or skilled tradesman.

In general, if y = f ( x ), then it can be transformed into y = af ( b ( x − k )) + h. In the new transformed function, a is the factor that vertically stretches the function if it is greater than 1 or vertically compresses the function if it is less than 1, and for negative a values, the function is reflected in the x-axis.

In an interview with Metro in September 2006 she stated that if Parliament were of a normal length, it was likely she would retire at the next general election .< ref >

For example, if James's will states that he is leaving $ 500, 000 to his son Sam then the money would be a general devise.

The Gaussian theory, however, is only true so long as the angles made by all rays with the optical axis ( the symmetrical axis of the system ) are infinitely small, i. e. with infinitesimal objects, images and lenses ; in practice these conditions are not realized, and the images projected by uncorrected systems are, in general, ill defined and often completely blurred, if the aperture or field of view exceeds certain limits.

6 ) at a finite distance from the axis ( or with an infinitely distant object, a point which subtends a finite angle at the system ) is, in general, even then not sharply reproduced, if the pencil of rays issuing from it and traversing the system is made infinitely narrow by reducing the aperture stop ; such a pencil consists of the rays which can pass from the object point through the now infinitely small entrance pupil.

It was thought that if the Conservatives were able to secure this piece of legislation, then the newly enfranchised electorate may return their gratitude to the Tories in the form of a Conservative vote at the next general election.

In general, a linear mapping on a normed space is continuous if and only if it is bounded on the closed unit ball.

According to Ivinskaya, " If ever the conversation turned to Mandelstam, Leonidovich would always hark back to the same thing: that he was not to blame for his misfortunes, and that if he had not written to Bukharin and in general made a great fuss about his arrest, then perhaps Mandelstam would not even have had the respite, brief as it was, which was granted to him -- with the result that the Voronezh Notebooks might never have been written.

The only way in which the general body of shareholders can control the exercise of powers by the articles in the directors is by altering the articles, or, if opportunity arises under the articles, by refusing to re-elect the directors of whose actions they disapprove.

* the equivalence principle, whether or not Einstein's general theory of relativity is the correct theory of gravitation, and if the fundamental laws of physics are the same everywhere in the universe.

It should include vital signs, a general portion dedicated to making observations about the patient's respiration ( breathing pattern ), body movements ( if any ), and of the patient's body habitus ( physique ); it should also include assessment of the brainstem and cortical function through special reflex tests such as the oculocephalic reflex test ( doll's eyes test ), oculovestibular reflex test ( cold caloric test ), nasal tickle, corneal reflex, and the gag reflex.

Some, like Henry Sidgwick, argue that a certain degree of egoism promotes the general welfare of society for two reasons: because individuals know how to please themselves best, and because if everyone were an austere altruist then general welfare would inevitably decrease.

If the method is applied to an infinite sequence ( X < sub > i </ sub >: i ∈ ω ) of nonempty sets, a function is obtained at each finite stage, but there is no stage at which a choice function for the entire family is constructed, and no " limiting " choice function can be constructed, in general, in ZF without the axiom of choice.

A bilinear transformation, like any binary function, can be interpreted as a function from X × Y to Z, but this function in general won't be linear.

In reply to the Papal bull Exsurge Domine of Pope Leo X ( 1520 ), Martin Luther burned the document and appealed for a general council.

For example, books on the English language may be put in X, and books on language in general in a subclass of X, or this can be reversed.

Although the fundamental group in general depends on the choice of base point, it turns out that, up to isomorphism ( actually, even up to inner isomorphism ), this choice makes no difference as long as the space X is path-connected.

Pyroxenes have a general structure formula of XY ( Si < sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 6 </ sub >), where X is an octahedral site, while Y can vary in coordination number from six to eight.

The garnet group has a general formula of X < sub > 3 </ sub > Y < sub > 2 </ sub >( SiO < sub > 4 </ sub >)< sub > 3 </ sub >, where X is a large eight-fold coordinated cation, and Y is a smaller six-fold coordinated cation.

A major group within this class are the spinels, with a general formula of X < sup > 2 +</ sup > Y < sup > 3 +</ sup >< sub > 2 </ sub > O < sub > 4 </ sub >.

The barite group has the general formula XSO < sub > 4 </ sub >, where the X is a large 12-coordinated cation.

In particular, the following two conditions are not equivalent in general for a map f between topological spaces X and Y:

For the more general case of M non-overlapping populations, X < sub > 1 </ sub > through X < sub > M </ sub >, and the aggregate population:

The same arguments establish a more general result: suppose that a Hausdorff topological space X contains a dense subset of cardinality.

The Stone – Weierstrass theorem generalizes the Weierstrass approximation theorem in two directions: instead of the real interval, an arbitrary compact Hausdorff space X is considered, and instead of the algebra of polynomial functions, approximation with elements from more general subalgebras of C ( X ) is investigated.

The general configuration of a channel was to connect the devices in a chain, like this: Mainframe — Control Unit X — Control Unit Y — Control Unit Z.

As part of their general work, in August 1964 the Manned Spacecraft Center ( MSC ) presented studies on an expendable lab known as Apollo " X ", short for Apollo Extension System.

There are, in general, a vast array of possible operator topologies on L ( X, Y ), whose naming is not entirely intuitive.

Garnets are nesosilicates having the general formula X < sub > 3 </ sub > Y < sub > 2 </ sub >( Si O < sub > 4 </ sub >)< sub > 3 </ sub >.

If the Nyquist sampling condition is not satisfied, adjacent copies overlap, and it is not possible in general to discern an unambiguous X ( f ).

In a general metric space ( X, d ), an exact similitude is a function f from the metric space X into itself that multiplies all distances by the same positive scalar r, called f's contraction factor, so that for any two points x and y we have

In contrast to the other common sex chromosome aneuploidies — 47, XXX, 45, X ( Turner syndrome ), and 47, XXY ( Klinefelter syndrome )— the average IQ scores of 47, XYY boys identified by newborn screening programs were not reduced compared to the general population .< ref name =" Bender 1986 ">< ref name =" Leggett 2010 "> In a summary of six prospective studies of 47, XYY boys identified by newborn screening programs, twenty-eight 47, XYY boys had an average 100. 76 verbal IQ, 108. 79 performance IQ, and 105. 00 full-scale IQ.
