Let us survey for a moment the development of modern thought -- turning our attention from the Reformation toward the revolutionary and romantic movements that follow and dwelling finally on more recent decades.

Done in the modern style of a `` confession '', Fink tells in exquisite detail how he came to know, and, more important, love his mother's pet salamander, Alicia.

Critically invisible, modern revolt, like X-rays and radioactivity, is perceived only by its effects at more materialistic social levels, where it is called delinquency.

True, we do not know how they were regarded in their day, but we need not believe the epic audience to have been more insensitive to the formulas than the numerous scholars of modern times who have read Germanic or Homeric poetry all their lives and still found much to admire in occasional occurrences of the most familiar phrases.

No optimism is more baseless than that which believes that the high speed of modern digital computers allows for use of the crudest of methods in searching out a result.

Their vivid anecdotal qualities have made favorites some of them of painters since the Renaissance, so that they stand out more prominently in the modern imagination.

In more modern English usage, the term " adobe " has come to include a style of architecture popular in the desert climates of North America, especially in New Mexico.

The term android was used in a more modern sense by the French author Auguste Villiers de l ' Isle-Adam in his work Tomorrow's Eve ( 1886 ).

Ultimately, the abstract parallels between algebraic systems were seen to be more important than the details and modern algebra was born.

In later books she becomes more modern and a kinder person.

Most modern Pueblo peoples ( whether Keresans, Hopi, or Tanoans ) assert the ancient Pueblo did not " vanish ", as is commonly portrayed in media presentations or popular books, but migrated to areas in the southwest with more favorable rainfall and dependable streams.

The teeth suggest omnivory, and are more generalised than those of modern apes.

Agrarianism concentrates on the fundamental goods of the earth, communities of more limited economic and political scale than in modern society, and on simple living — even when this shift involves questioning the " progressive " character of some recent social and economic developments.

Subsequently, though, the use of caisson lighthouses proved more durable in locations subject to ice.

From the mid-19th century, it was painted black with a white band to make it more visible in daylight ; similar colours have featured on the subsequent lighthouses here.

Merchants and mariners felt that the building of one or more lighthouses would be a fitting tribute to him, and in as early as November 1836 Pedra Branca was proposed as one of the preferred sites.

There were more than 150 past and present lighthouses around Michigan's Great Lakes coasts, including several in Northern Michigan.

See the list of Michigan lighthouses for more information on individual lighthouses.

In antiquity, the lighthouse functioned more as an entrance marker to ports than as a warning signal for reefs and promontories, unlike many modern lighthouses.

Workamping positions can include working at campgrounds, RV resorts, mobile home communities, Christmas tree or pumpkin sales lots, amusement parks, motels / hotels, national parks, state parks, U. S. Army Corps of Engineer locations, national monuments, lighthouses, retail stores, food service, sales and more.

The coast of Norway is 100, 915 km long and there have been a total of 212 lighthouses along it, but no more than 154 have ever been operational at the same time.

While he opened the colony's first railway in 1855, he ignored the problem of different rail gauges despite his role as Governor-General, although he was more active in developing arrangements for paying for postal connections with the United Kingdom, ameliorating inter-colonial tariffs and co-operation over the provision of lighthouses.

Even if the electric power fails after an attack, any time that the heater has been used will make the shelter that much more comfortable.

Semi-conductor materials are often analysable in atom probe, however sample preparation may be more difficult, and interpretation of results may be more complex, particularly if the semi-conductor contains phases which evaporate at differing electric field strengths.

He commanded enormous fees playing dances there, and began to make more creative use of electric guitars to replace the big horn sections the Tulsa band had boasted.

The dry-heat form of electric bains-marie often consumes less energy, requires little cleaning, and can be heated more quickly than traditional versions.

He introduced more insistent, driving rhythms and a hard-edged electric guitar sound on a wide-ranging catalog of songs, along with African rhythms and a signature beat ( a simple, five-accent rhythm ) that remains a cornerstone of rock and pop.

The steel-string and electric guitars characteristic to the rise of rock and roll in the post-WWII era became more widely played in North America and the English speaking world.

Due to their lower mass, the electrons in a plasma accelerate more quickly in response to an electric field than the heavier positive ions, and hence carry the bulk of the current.

On the other hand, in measurements of electromagnetic phenomena ( involving units of charge, electric and magnetic fields, voltage, and so on ), converting between CGS and SI is much more subtle and involved.

It is also possible that the electron has an electric dipole moment, although this has not yet been observed ( see electron electric dipole moment for more information ).

Many musicians feel the slower attack and percussive, woody tone of the upright bass gives it a more " earthy " or " natural " sound than an electric bass, particularly when gut strings are used.

While the upright bass is still occasionally used in country music, the electric bass has largely replaced its bigger cousin in country music, especially in the more pop-infused country styles of the 1990s and 2000s, such as new country.

This definition of potential, while formal, has little practical application, and a more useful concept is that of electric potential difference, and is the energy required to move a unit charge between two specified points.

The electric field was formally defined as the force exerted per unit charge, but the concept of potential allows for a more useful and equivalent definition: the electric field is the local gradient of the electric potential.

* particles generate more electric and magnetic fields ; cycle repeats

Fluorophores are more likely to be excited by photons if the transition moment of the fluorophore is parallel to the electric vector of the photon.

When the electric current is applied, the larger molecules move more slowly through the gel while the smaller molecules move faster.

At the turn of the Industrial Age through the 1920s, families could more often afford things such as electric trains, wind up toys ( typically boats or cars ) and the increasingly valuable tin toy soldiers.

Two ( or more ) inductors that have coupled magnetic flux form a transformer, which is a fundamental component of every electric utility power grid.

The term insulator is also used more specifically to refer to insulating supports used to attach electric power distribution or transmission lines to utility poles and transmission towers.

Guitarist Pat Metheny mixed the sounds of blues, country, and “ world ” music, along with rock and jazz, playing both a flat-top acoustic guitar and an electric guitar with a softer, more mellow tone which was sweetened with a shimmering effect known as “ chorusing ".

The living aura theory is at least partially repudiated by demonstrating that leaf moisture content has a pronounced effect on the electric discharge coronas ; more moisture creates larger, more dynamic corona discharges.
