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.

For four of the six ( the anaconda and the amethystine python cannot be included for lack of data ) there is also a correlation between size at maturity and maximum length, the boa constrictor being the smallest and the Indian python the next in size at the former stage.

To proceed from one stage to the next a sufficient number of feed states must be investigated to allow for interpolation ; ;

If we consider a process in which the outcome of one stage is known before passage to the next, then the principle of optimality shows that the policy in subsequent stages should be optimal with respect to the outcome of the first.

The discussion of the optimal policy when the outcome of one stage is not known before passing to the next is a very much more difficult matter.

The next stage ahead is that of making it thoroughly at home in the local community.

The crew's next task, after jettisoning the Lunar Module ascent stage, was to release a sub-satellite into lunar orbit from the CSM's Scientific Instrument Bay.

Across the street was Tammany Hall, and next to it Tony Pastor's, where stars of the stage were born.

Often the passage from one world or stage to the next is impelled by inner forces, a process of germination or gestation from earlier, embryonic forms.

The alien technology that accelerated the evolution of ape-like hominids at the start of the story has now advanced Bowman to the next stage of human evolution.

Thus, the eight items of the path are not to be understood as stages, in which each stage is completed before moving on to the next.

Banks would play in ten of the next 12 internationals as England tried to qualify for the 1972 European Championships but lost yet again to West Germany prior to the finals stage.

* Multi-cache: This variation consists of multiple discoveries of one or more intermediate points containing the coordinates for the next stage ; the final stage contains the log book and trade items.

The European Commission had some difficulty funding the project's next stage, after several allegedly " per annum " sales projection graphs for the project were exposed in November 2001 as " cumulative " projections ( which for each year projected, necessarily included all previous years of sales ).

Some of the complicated processors use a pipeline of instruction registers where each stage of the pipeline does part of the decoding, preparation or execution and then passes it to the next stage for its step.

Following his performance of Richard III on May 12, the Boston Transcript < nowiki >' s </ nowiki > review the next day called Booth " the most promising young actor on the American stage ".

Between 9, 500 and 9, 100 BP, during the transgression of Ancylus Lake, the next freshwater stage of the Baltic, Ladoga certainly became part of it, even if they hadn't been connected immediately before.

According to the Fraser Basin Council, scientists predict a one-in-three chance of a similar-sized flood occurring in the next 50 years.

During the next several decades multiple scientists, including Sydney Chapman and Hannes Alfvén, proposed a variety of mechanisms and explanations.

Due to a missing jet stream, fading spots, and slower activity near the poles, independent scientists of the National Solar Observatory ( NSO ) and the Air Force Research Laboratory ( AFRL ) now ( 2011 ) predict that the next 11-year solar sunspot cycle, Cycle 25, will be greatly reduced or may not happen at all.

Over the next century, the region was studied by scientists from a number of countries, including Russia ( geologist Alexander Karpinsky, botanist Porfiry Krylov and zoologist Leonid Sabaneyev ), England ( geologist Sir Roderick Murchison ), France ( paleontologist Edouard de Verneuil ), and Germany ( naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, geologist Alexander Keyserling ).

For the next five years, von Braun and the German scientists and engineers were primarily engaged in adapting and improving the V-2 missile for U. S. applications ; testing was conducted at nearby White Sands Proving Grounds, New Mexico.

The Institute's research training programs help provide the next generation of scientists.

China's scientific impact, as measured by other scientists citing the published papers the next year, is smaller although also increasing.

Thus, computer scientists working in computational health informatics and health scientists working in medical health informatics combine to develop the next generation of healthcare technologies.

SPUSA strives to convene the next generation of scientists around today's parallel issues.

They reached Rome on 19 June, and over the next weeks interviewed scientists including Edoardo Amaldi, Gian-Carlo Wick, and Francesco Giordani.

Beginning even before the German surrender and continuing for the next two years, the United States pursued a vigorous program of harvesting all technological and scientific know-how as well as all patents and many leading scientists in Germany ( known as Operation Paperclip ).

* John Gribbin, Schrödinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality: solving the quantum mysteries has an overview of Cramer ’ s interpretation and says that “ with any luck at all it will supersede the Copenhagen interpretation as the standard way of thinking about quantum physics for the next generation of scientists .”

He stayed at Princeton with his family until 1967, when he went back to his homeland Denmark, and became the next to the last resident in a series of great Danish scientists of the Carlsberg Mansion og Honor, which had earlier been occupied by Niels Bohr among others.

In 1945 he hired Herb Grosch and Llewellyn Thomas as the next two IBM research scientists, who both made significant contributions.

He said: “ The worst for me would be, if there were serious changes in the next 5 to 10 years and we scientists are helpless and did not have the courage to point at these dangerous developments early .”

In a series of experiments, scientists at GANIL have attempted to measure the direct and delayed fission of compound nuclei of elements with Z = 114, 120, and 124 in order to probe shell effects in this region and to pinpoint the next spherical proton shell.

So she can easily slip into the gal next door or any number of assorted reporters, medical students, jury members, accountants, scientists and moms.

The next morning the scientists begin exploring the desolate surface of Mars, eventually coming across physical evidence of a now dead advanced civilization: a partially buried-in-the-sand, stylized, Art Deco-like metal face sculpture and in the distance a dynamo-shaped building and other ruins.

INL places a high priority on developing the next generation of scientists, engineers and researchers.

In addition to referring to the IPCC as “ the world ’ s best climate scientists ”, they stated that climate change is happening as “ the result of emissions since industrialisation and we have already set in motion the next 50 years of global warming – what we do from now on will determine how worse it will get .”

Trumbull did not complete Blade Runner, ( David Dryer took over as special effects supervisor ) leaving the film as agreed about halfway through to concentrate on pre-production for his next directing effort, Brainstorm, a story of two brilliant scientists who develop a revolutionary device to record and vicariously experience other people's feelings and perceptions, a device the military tries to steal for its own purposes.

The underlying mechanisms of the reflex on a cellular level are yet to be discovered, and will likely be the next area of research if scientists and / or doctors chose to do so.

In a series of experiments, scientists at GANIL have attempted to measure the direct and delayed fission of compound nuclei of elements with Z = 114, 120, and 124 in order to probe shell effects in this region and to pinpoint the next spherical proton shell.
