In the first instance, `` mimesis '' is here used to mean the recalling of experience in terms of vivid images rather than in terms of abstract ideas or conventional designations.

A dominant motive is the poet's longing for his homeland and its boyhood associations: `` Not men-folk, but the fields where I would stray, The stones where as a child I used to play ''.

So in these pages the term `` technology '' is used to include any and all means which could amplify, project, or augment man's control over himself and over other men.

But what a super-Herculean task it is to winnow anything of value from the mud-beplastered arguments used so freely, particularly since such common use is made of cliches and stereotypes, in themselves declarations of intellectual bankruptcy.

This text from Dr. Huxley is sometimes used by enthusiasts to indicate that they have the permission of the scientists to press the case for a wonderful unfoldment of psychic powers in human beings.

The men who speculate on these institutions have, for the most part, come to at least one common conclusion: that many of the great enterprises and associations around which our democracy is formed are in themselves autocratic in nature, and possessed of power which can be used to frustrate the citizen who is trying to assert his individuality in the modern world ''.

Properly used, the present book is an excellent instrument of enlightenment.

This prospect did not please Mrs. King any more than did the possibility that her daughter might marry a Bohemian, but she used it to suggest to Thompson that, `` It is not in her nature to love you ''.

On the other hand, the consensus of opinion is that, used with caution and in conjunction with other types of evidence, the native sources still provide a valid rough outline for the English settlement of southern Britain.

The trouble with this machinery is that it is not used and the reason that it is not used is the absence of a conscious sense of community among the free nations.

In addition to his experiments in reading poetry to jazz, Patchen is beginning to use the figure of the modern jazz musician as a myth hero in the same way he used the figure of the private detective a decade ago.

When different colors are used, she is just as likely to color trees purple, hair green, etc..

Berlin is merely being used by Moscow as a stalking horse.

The collection of information is meaningless unless it is understood and used for a definite purpose.

This is used as a reference for comparing the ohmic heating and the electrical energy obtained from the measured current through the element and the measured voltage across the element.

These estimates indicated that the quantum yield for the exchange of chlorine with liquid carbon tetrachloride at 65-degrees is of the order of magnitude of unity.

The standard ampere is most accurately realized using a watt balance, but is in practice maintained via Ohm's Law from the units of electromotive force and resistance, the volt and the ohm, since the latter two can be tied to physical phenomena that are relatively easy to reproduce, the Josephson junction and the quantum Hall effect, respectively.

Each orbital is defined by a different set of quantum numbers ( n, l, and m ), and contains a maximum of two electrons each with their own spin quantum number.

Specifically, in quantum mechanics, the state of an atom, i. e. an eigenstate of the atomic Hamiltonian, is approximated by an expansion ( see configuration interaction expansion and basis set ) into linear combinations of anti-symmetrized products ( Slater determinants ) of one-electron functions.

In quantum mechanics, where all particle momenta are associated with waves, it is the formation of such a wave packet which localizes the wave, and thus the particle, in space.

In states where a quantum mechanical particle is bound, it must be localized as a wave packet, and the existence of the packet and its minimum size implies a spread and minimal value in particle wavelength, and thus also momentum and energy.

In quantum mechanics, as a particle is localized to a smaller region in space, the associated compressed wave packet requires a larger and larger range of momenta, and thus larger kinetic energy.

where X is the energy level corresponding to the principal quantum number n, type is a lower-case letter denoting the shape or subshell of the orbital and it corresponds to the angular quantum number l, and y is the number of electrons in that orbital.

In X-ray notation, the principal quantum number is given a letter associated with it.

A given ( hydrogen-like ) atomic orbital is identified by unique values of three quantum numbers: n, l, and m < sub > l </ sub >.

The principal quantum number, n, describes the energy of the electron and is always a positive integer.

The azimuthal quantum number,, describes the orbital angular momentum of each electron and is a non-negative integer.

The magnetic quantum number,, describes the magnetic moment of an electron in an arbitrary direction, and is also always an integer.

Alpha decay, like other cluster decays, is fundamentally a quantum tunneling process.

Classically, it is forbidden to escape, but according to the ( then ) newly-discovered principles of quantum mechanics, it has a tiny ( but non-zero ) probability of " tunneling " through the barrier and appearing on the other side to escape the nucleus.

In particle physics, antimatter is material composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as particles of ordinary matter but have opposite charge and quantum spin.

A unified interpretation of antiparticles is now available in quantum field theory, which solves both these problems.

This is an example of renormalization in quantum field theory — the field theory being necessary because the number of particles changes from one to two and back again.

The field, then, is ripe for new Southerners to step to the fore and write of this twentieth-century phenomenon, the Southern Yankeefication: the new urban economy, the city-dweller, the pains of transition, the labor problems ; ;

Both the extent to which this is true and the limits of the field of perceptual skill involved should be acknowledged.

`` It would be a disgrace, and, as I have already said to the people of Tennessee, if Hearst is nominated, we may as well pen a dispatch, and send it back from the field of battle: ' All is lost, including our honor ' ''.

Some historians have found his point of view not to their taste, others have complained that he makes the Tory tradition appear `` contemptible rather than intelligible '', while a sympathetic critic has remarked that the `` intricate interplay of social dynamics and political activity of which, at times, politicians are the ignorant marionettes is not a field for the exercise of his talents ''.

One's daily work becomes sacred, since it is performed in the field of influence of the moral law, dealing as it does with people as well as with matter and energy.

To obey the moral law is just ordinary common sense, applied to a neglected field.

Such is the field for exercising our reverence.

In the field of political values, it is certainly true that students are not radical, not rebels against their parents or their peers.

Although because of the important achievements of nineteenth century scholars in the field of textual criticism the advance is not so striking as it was in the case of archaeology and place-names, the editorial principles laid down by Stevenson in his great edition of Asser and in his Crawford Charters were a distinct improvement upon those of his predecessors and remain unimproved upon today.
