By prevailing over other claimants for the loyalties of men, the nation-state maintained an adequate measure of certainty and order within its territorial borders.

( Since the time-span of the nation-state coincides roughly with the separate existence of the United States as an independent entity, it is perhaps natural for Americans to think of the nation as representative of the highest form of order, something permanent and unchanging.

Lautner, for his part, `` belonged to the present-day race of small artists, who do not demand the utmost of themselves '', and the bitter description of the type includes such epithets as `` wretched little poseurs '', the devastating indictment `` they do not know how to be wretched decently and in order '', and the somewhat extreme prophecy, so far not fulfilled: `` They will be destroyed ''.

Accordingly, it is the aim of this essay to advance a new theory of imitation ( which I shall call mimesis in order to distinguish it from earlier theories of imitation ) and a new theory of invention ( which I shall call symbol for reasons to be stated hereafter ).

These began to be apparent in a press conference held during the second illness in order that the consulting specialists might clarify the President's condition for the nation.

If we grasp this opportunity to build an age of productive partnership between the less fortunate nations and those that have already achieved a high state of economic advancement, we will make brighter the outlook for a world order based upon security and freedom.

This conference was held despite Stavropoulos' assurance to Adolf Berle, who was leaving the same day for Puerto Rico, that nothing would be done until his return on January 22, except that the Secretary General would probably order the list destroyed.

`` the matters to be considered are obviously of a grave character, and I therefore respectfully request that the hearing be postponed for two weeks in order that I might make adequate preparation ''.

There's a man who never goes by the ordinary road but still arrives at his goal, who gratuitously gets himself into difficulty in order to get out of it with eclat, in a word a man who creates monsters for himself in order to appear a Hercules in destroying them ''.

In order to prevent this, Washington hastened to dispatch several units to reinforce the fort, including a force under the Marquis De Lafayette containing some 160 of Morgan's riflemen, all who were fit for duty at this time, the rest having no shoes.

Baker wrote: `` I tooke order with Sr. E. Grevile for the payment of Ceartaine monei beefore his going towardes London.

& 20 more Mr. Peeter Rowswell tooke order with his master to paie for mee ''.

Childhood's End -- apparently indebted to Kurd Lasswitz's Utopian romance, Auf Zwei Planeten ( 1897 ), and also to Wells's Histories Of The Future, especially, The World Set Free ( 1914 ) and The Shape Of Things To Come ( 1933 ) -- describes the bloodless conquest of earth by the Overlords, vastly superior creatures who come to our world in order to prepare the human race for its next stage of development, an eventual merging with the composite mind of the universe.

It is for these reasons that proposals for a `` new world order '', through radical overhaul of the United Nations or through some sort of world federation, are utterly fatuous.

It is possible that international organization will ultimately supplant the multi-state system, but its proper function for the immediate future is to reform and supplement that system in order to render pluralism more compatible with an interdependent world.

In order to write with authority either about musicians, or as a musician, Patchen would have to soft pedal his characteristically outspoken anger, and change ( at least for the purposes of this poetry ) from a revolutionary to a victim.

He said it was stupid butchery to order men to make a charge like that, no matter who gave the order and what for.

At some point an unknown reaction called baryogenesis violated the conservation of baryon number, leading to a very small excess of quarks and leptons over antiquarks and antileptons — of the order of one part in 30 million.

The team at Dubna studied this reaction in 1976 in order to assist in their assignments of the SF activities from their experiments with a < sup > 54 </ sup > Cr beam.

Recently, the team at the Institute of Modern Physics ( IMP ), Lanzhou, have studied the nuclear reaction between americium-243 and magnesium-26 ions in order to synthesise the new isotope < sup > 265 </ sup > Bh

This reaction was studied for the first time in 2008 by the team at RIKEN, Japan, in order to study the decay properties of < sup > 266 </ sup > Bh, which is a decay product in their claimed decay chains of ununtrium .< ref > The decay of < sup > 266 </ sup > Bh by the emission of 9. 05-9. 23 MeV alpha particles was further confirmed in 2010.

In their names, S stands for substitution, N for nucleophilic, and the number represents the kinetic order of the reaction, unimolecular or bimolecular.

Similar to the nucleophilic substitution, there are several possible reaction mechanisms which are named after the respective reaction order.

In order for this reaction to occur the power supply should provide at least a potential of 4 V. However, larger voltages must be used for this reaction to occur at a high rate.

The team at RIKEN further studied the reaction in 2008 in order to conduct first spectroscopic studies of the even-even nucleus < sup > 264 </ sup > Hs.

This reaction was studied in 2008 at RIKEN in order to conduct first spectrscopic studies of the even-even nucleus < sup > 264 </ sup > Hs.

The reaction was repeated at the GSI in Jan-Feb 2009 in order to search for the new isotope < sup > 268 </ sup > Hs.

Maroger medium ( or any other painting medium, for that matter ) should never be used as a final picture varnish, as Maroger requires reaction by admixture with oil paint in order to dry.

Therefore, in order to define the quantity of a catalyst, the rate of conversion of a defined chemical reaction has to be specified, preferably of the first order, under strictly controlled conditions.

Nuclear fission weapons must use an extremely high quality, highly-enriched fuel exceeding the critical size and geometry ( critical mass ) in order to obtain an explosive chain reaction.

A postmodernism of ' reaction ' rejects Modernism and seeks to return to the lost traditions and history in order to create a new cultural synthesis, while Postmodernity of ' resistance ' seeks to deconstruct Modernism and is a critique of the origins without necessarily returning to them ( Irving 1993, 60 ).

Thus it is important to be able to see the topic from different angles in order to anticipate the reaction others have to a proposal.

Used as a counseling technique in which the counselor intensifies the client's emotional state in order to help the client understand the irrationality of the emotional reaction.

A stellarator is a device used to confine a hot plasma with magnetic fields in order to sustain a controlled nuclear fusion reaction.

This order expelled Jews, as a class, from Grant's military district, in reaction to illicit activities of overly aggressive cotton traders in the Union camps, which Grant believed was interfering with military operations.

This free-energy relationship relates the pseudo first order reaction rate constant ( in water at 25 ° C ), k, of a reaction, normalized to the reaction rate, k < sub > 0 </ sub >, of a standard reaction with water as the nucleophile, to a nucleophilic constant n for a given nucleophile and a substrate constant s that depends on the sensitivity of a substrate to nucleophilic attack ( defined as 1 for methyl bromide ).
