It goes from the basics, the analysis of simple terms in the Categories, the analysis of propositions and their elementary relations in On Interpretation, to the study of more complex forms, namely, syllogisms ( in the Analytics ) and dialectics ( in the Topics and Sophistical Refutations ).

In simple terms altruism is caring about the welfare of other people and acting to help them.

The practical definition may lead to confusion with the definition of a coulomb ( i. e., 1 amp-second ), but in practical terms this means that measures of a constant current ( e. g., the nominal flow of charge per second through a simple circuit ) will be defined in amperes ( e. g., " a 20 mA circuit ") and the flow of charge through a circuit over a period of time will be defined in coulombs ( e. g., " a variable-current circuit that flows a total of 10 coulombs over 5 seconds ").

Most narrowly, one may consider numbers explicitly defined in terms of polynomials, exponentials, and logarithms – this does not include algebraic numbers, but does include some simple transcendental numbers such as e or log ( 2 ).

There is no simple ' overcoming ' of metaphysics or the language of metaphysics.

For simple dynamical systems, knowing the trajectory is often sufficient, but most dynamical systems are too complicated to be understood in terms of individual trajectories.

Linear dynamical systems can be solved in terms of simple functions and the behavior of all orbits classified.

Plurality voting is also variously referred to as winner-takes-all or relative / simple majority voting ; however, these terms can also refer to elections for multiple winners in a particular constituency using bloc voting.

Another recent theory ( see EPR paradox above ) resulting from the analysis of an EPR communication set up, has the simple device based on removing the effective retarded time terms in the Lorentz transform to yield a preferred absolute reference frame.

Fly-by wire systems are quite complex, but their operation can be explained in simple terms.

In simple terms, the electrons, which repel one another, can move " further apart " by aligning their spins, so the spins of these electrons tend to line up.

In simple terms, the variation in space of any quantity can be represented ( e. g. graphically ) by a slope.

In simple terms: Electrophoresis is a procedure which enables the sorting of molecules based on size.

Latin terminology is often used to describe modern languages, at times erroneously, as in the application of the term " pluperfect " to the English " past perfect ", the application of " perfect " to what in English more often than not is not " perfective ", or where the German simple and perfect pasts are called respectively " Imperfektum " and " Perfektum ", despite the fact that neither has any real relationship to the aspects implied by the use of the Latin terms.

In simple chemistry, as per valence bond theory, the carbon atom must follow the " 4-hydrogen rule ", which states that the maximum number of atoms available to bond with carbon is equal to the number of electrons that are attracted into the outer shell of carbon. In terms of shells, carbon consists of an incomplete outer shell, which comprises 4 electrons, and thus has 4 electrons available for covalent or dative bonding.

Thoroughly modern in treatment, they are at the same time, full of simple sincerity which invariably characterizes genuine Negro folk-music and are by no means to be confused with the average ' Broadway Spirituals ' which depend for their racial flavor upon sundry allusions to the ' Amen Corner ', ' judgement Day, ' Gabriel's Horn, and a frustrated devil -- with a few random hallelujahs thrown in for good measure.

Product ciphers were suggested and analyzed by Claude Shannon in his seminal 1949 publication Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems as a means to effectively improve security by combining simple operations such as substitutions and permutations.

Here, ' simple ' means an appearance of the factor of the form.

Others, though, have argued that the level of disagreement about the meaning of the word indicates that it either means different things to different people, or else is an umbrella term encompassing a variety of distinct meanings with no simple element in common.

In food science and in many informal contexts, the term carbohydrate often means any food that is particularly rich in the complex carbohydrate starch ( such as cereals, bread, and pasta ) or simple carbohydrates, such as sugar ( found in candy, jams, and desserts ).

A simple way to enforce prefix-free-ness is to use machines whose means of input is a binary stream from which bits can be read one at a time.

The answer is simple: most species have a negligible vapour pressure at such low temperatures and this means that they quickly condense on the sides of the apparatus.

This can be done, for example, by visual means ( e. g., a spinning slotted disk, which functions as a simple stroboscope ) without interfering with the measurement itself.

Different researchers have postulated that without the aid of modern computer graphics, early investigators were limited to what they could depict in manual drawings, so lacked the means to visualize the beauty and appreciate some of the implications of many of the patterns they had discovered ( the Julia set, for instance, could only be visualized through a few iterations as very simple drawings hardly resembling the image in Figure 3 ).

* By the convolution theorem, Fourier transforms turn the complicated convolution operation into simple multiplication, which means that they provide an efficient way to compute convolution-based operations such as polynomial multiplication and multiplying large numbers.

Under this model, simple comparisons like < code > if a < b </ code > do not mean " if the operations to the right evaluate to true " as they would under most languages ; instead it means something more like " if the operations to the right succeed ".

Logrolling means that two parties will pledge their mutual support, so both bills can secure a simple majority.

The latter figure means that a nuclear fission explosion or criticality accident emits about 3. 5 % of its energy as gamma rays, less than 2. 5 % of its energy as fast neutrons ( total ~ 6 %), and the rest as kinetic energy of fission fragments ( this appears almost immediately when the fragments impact surrounding matter, as simple heat ).

This means that the infrastructure needed at termini can be quite simple.

Frictional unemployment is always present in an economy, so the level of involuntary unemployment is properly the unemployment rate minus the rate of frictional unemployment, which means that increases or decreases in unemployment are normally under-represented in the simple statistics.

Itard wrote, " Under these circumstances his ear was not an organ for the appreciation of sounds, their articulations and their combinations ; it was nothing but a simple means of self-preservation which warned of the approach of a dangerous animal or the fall of wild fruit.
