When words can be used in a more fresh and primitive way so that they strike with the force of sights and sounds, when tones of sound and colors of paint and the carven shape all strike the sensibilities with an undeniable force of data in and of themselves, compelling the observer into an attitude of attention, all this imitates the way experience itself in its deepest character strikes upon the door of consciousness and clamors for entrance.

The relic worship and monasticism of the Middle Ages were more advanced forms than were primitive fetish worship and nature myths.

In the more primitive areas, where the capacity to absorb and utilize external assistance is limited, some activities may be of such obvious priority that we may decide to support them before a well worked out program is available.

Early releases of AutoCAD used primitive entities — lines, polylines, circles, arcs, and text — to construct more complex objects.

Some aspects of brain structure are common to almost the entire range of animals species ; others distinguish " advanced " brains from more primitive ones, or distinguish vertebrates from invertebrates.

No modern species should be described as more " primitive " than others, strictly speaking, since each has an equally long evolutionary history — but the brains of modern hagfishes, lampreys, sharks, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals show a gradient of size and complexity that roughly follows the evolutionary sequence.

Based on dental features and braincase sizes, it is now known that Carnivora must have evolved from a form even more primitive than Creodonta, and thus these two orders may not even be sister groups.

Morgan, like other 19th century social evolutionists, believed there was a more or less orderly progression from the primitive to the civilized.

RAS, on the other hand, is a more primitive structure in the brainstem that is tightly in connection with reticular formation ( RF ).

Recent analyses have concluded that cnidarians, although considered more " primitive " than bilaterians, have a wider range of genes.

Some authors have used " basal " differently to mean a clade that is " more primitive " or less species-rich than its sister clade ; others consider this usage to be incorrect, and many now discourage the use of that term altogether to avoid such implications.

The two species of the basal Caninae are more primitive and do not fit into either tribe.

Before Sapir it was generally considered impossible to apply the methods of historical linguistics to languages of indigenous peoples because they were believed to be more primitive than the Indo-European languages.

For the Greeks, constructions are more primitive than existence propositions, and can be used to prove existence propositions, but not vice versa.

Precisely when early humans started to use tools is difficult to determine, because the more primitive these tools are ( for example, sharp-edged stones ) the more difficult it is to decide whether they are natural objects or human artifacts.

Although his methods were primitive, his basic premises have held true today and have been reaffirmed by more methodologically sound methods.

The first attested instance of this is from 984, although more primitive forms were seen up to one-hundred years earlier.

A classic application for a pair of class-A devices is the long-tailed pair, which is exceptionally linear, and forms the basis of many more complex circuits, including many audio amplifiers and almost all op-amps.

Its input stage used a long-tailed triode pair with loads matched to reduce drift in the output and, far more importantly, it was the first op-amp design to have two inputs ( one inverting, the other non-inverting ).

An equivalent way of expressing this is that if most females are looking, for example, for long-tailed males, then each female individually does better to select a long-tailed male, since then her male children are more likely to succeed.

Thus, at a given temperature, a short-tailed lipid will be more fluid than an otherwise identical long-tailed lipid.

In general appearance as well as habits they resemble large long-tailed sunbirds, but are possibly more closely related to the Australian honeyeaters.

The long-tailed pair has many attributes as a switch: largely immune to tube ( transistor ) variations ( of great importance when machines contained 1, 000 or more tubes ), high gain, gain stability, high input impedance, medium / low output impedance, good clipper ( with not-too-long tail ), non-inverting ( EDSAC contained no inverters!

Barosaurus ; Greek barys / βαρυς meaning ' heavy ' and saurus / σαυρος meaning ' lizard ', ' heavy lizard ') was a giant, long-tailed, long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur closely related to the more familiar Diplodocus.

What is unusual about a long-tailed distribution is that the most frequently occurring 20 % of items represent less than 50 % of occurrences ; or in other words, the least frequently occurring 80 % of items are more important as a proportion of the total population.

Sexual dimorphism can be pronounced ( and of course more so in the long-tailed males ) or subtle ; the female Bedford's Paradise Flycatcher is identical to the male except slightly duller.

Smaller pterosaurs became extinct prior to the Maastrichtian during a period that saw a decline in smaller animal species while larger species became more prevalent.

Since the 1990s, new discoveries and more thorough study of old specimens have shown that crests are far more widespread among pterosaurs than previously thought, due mainly to the fact that they were frequently extended by or composed completely of keratin, which does not fossilize as often as bone.

The discovery of Pterorynchus and Austriadactylus, both crested " rhamphorhynchoids ", showed that even primitive pterosaurs had crests ( previously, crests were thought to be restricted to the more advanced pterodactyloids ).

The pterosaurs ' flocculi occupied 7. 5 % of the animals ' total brain mass, more than in any other vertebrate.

Egg-burying would have been beneficial to the early evolution of pterosaurs, as it allows for more weight-reducing adaptations, but this method of reproduction also would have put limits on the variety of environments pterosaurs could live in, and may have disadvantaged them when they began to face ecological competition from birds.

In contrast, the more advanced, large pterodactyloid pterosaurs such as Pteranodon grew to adult size within the first year of life.

Hone and Benton concluded that although more primitive pterosauromorphs are needed to clarify their relationships, pterosaurs are best considered archosaurs, and specifically ornithodirans, given current evidence.

* Pterodactyloidea ( Plieninger, 1901 ): The more derived (" advanced ") pterosaurs, with short tails and long wing metacarpals.

Though Quetzalcoatlus, like other pterosaurs, was a quadruped when on the ground, Quetzalcoatlus and other azhdarchids have fore and hind limb proportions more similar to modern running ungulate mammals than to their smaller cousins, implying that they were uniquely suited to a terrestrial lifestyle.

The term wingspan, more technically extent, is also used for other winged animals such as pterosaurs, bats, insects, etc., and other winged aircraft such as ornithopters.

Well known extinct diapsid groups include the pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, mosasaurs, and many more obscure lineages.

Bennett did not speculate on which possibility was more likely, though the discovery of a pterosaur embryo ( Avgodectes ) with strongly ossified bones suggests that pterosaurs in general were precocial, able to fly soon after hatching with minimal parental care.

Simple feathers are known from more primitive coelurosaurs such as Sinosauropteryx prima, and possibly from even more distantly related species such as the ornithischian Tianyulong confuciusi and the flying pterosaurs.

His discoveries include the skeletons of more than 35 individuals of Plateosaurus in the famous Trossingen quarry, the early proto-dinosaur Saltopus in 1910, Proceratosaurus in 1926, the giant Antarctosaurus in 1929, and numerous other dinosaurs and fossilized animals like pterosaurs.
