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.

Most of the C code being written nowadays is based on ANSI C. Any program written only in standard C and without any hardware dependent assumptions is virtually guaranteed to compile correctly on any platform with a conforming C implementation.

Software is usually designed and created ( coded / written / programmed ) in integrated development environments ( IDE ) like Eclipse, Emacs and Microsoft Visual Studio that can simplify the process and compile the program.

Others compile to interpreted bytecode, which is less efficient than native code, but eases binary-code portability.

All compatible languages compile to Common Intermediate Language ( CIL ), which is an intermediate language that is abstracted from the platform hardware.

When the code is executed, the platform-specific VES will compile the CIL to the machine language according to the specific hardware and operating system.

If that class is not available, or unknown at compile time, the application simply won't compile.

EiffelEnvision is a plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio that allows users to edit, compile, and debug Eiffel projects from within the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE.

* Isaac Asimov's Encyclopedia Galactica as presented in The Foundation Series is an attempt to compile all human knowledge in order to preserve it following the collapse of the Galactic Empire in the far future.

The Microsoft. NET Framework languages always compile to Common Intermediate Language ( CIL ) which is then just-in-time compiled into native machine code.

The goal of this approach is twofold: to enable deeper inspection of the code at compile time to identify additional opportunities for parallel execution, and to simplify processor design and reduce energy consumption by eliminating the need for runtime scheduling circuitry.

What is known however, is that Lönnrot intended to gather poems and songs to compile into the upcoming work Kanteletar.

Andrewes ' name is the first on the list of divines appointed to compile the Authorized Version of the Bible.

Mercury has several back-ends, which means it is possible to compile Mercury code into the following languages and code-styles:

It does not compile the national timetable, which is the joint responsibility of the Office of Rail Regulation ( allocation of paths ) and Network Rail ( timetable production and publication ).

That is, multiple users would concurrently log on to individual user accounts and share use of the main processor to compile and run applications.

A cross-platform version called Free Pascal, with the Lazarus IDE, is popular with Linux users since it promises write once, compile anywhere, development.

Type constraints are not checked at compile time ; rather, operations on an object may fail, signifying that the given object is not of a suitable type.

The Plant List is an Internet encyclopedia project which was launched in 2010 to compile a comprehensive list of botanical nomenclature.

* Google App Inventor for Android uses Scheme, where Kawa is used to compile the Scheme code down to byte-codes for the Java Virtual Machine running on Android devices.

The string is an object ( a sequence of characters between single quotes is the syntax for literal strings ), created by the compiler at compile time.

What is needed, Philip Morrison writes in The Cornell Daily Sun ( October 26 ) is a discontinuity.

One of the most appealing of the rooftop canvases is `` Sun And Wind On The Roof '', with a woman and child bracing themselves against flapping clothes and flying birds.

* Another group is the School of the Military that studied strategy and the philosophy of war ; Sunzi and Sun Bin were influential leaders.

An astronomical unit ( abbreviated as AU, au, a. u., or ua ) is a unit of length equal to exactly or approximately the mean Earth – Sun distance.

An equivalent definition is the radius of an unperturbed circular Newtonian orbit about the Sun of a particle having infinitesimal mass, moving with an angular frequency of radians per day ; or that length such that, when used to describe the positions of the objects in the Solar System, the heliocentric gravitational constant ( the product GM < sub >☉</ sub >) is equal to ()< sup > 2 </ sup > AU < sup > 3 </ sup >/ d < sup > 2 </ sup >.

This is because the distance between the Earth and the Sun is not fixed ( it varies between AU and AU ) and, when the Earth is closer to the Sun ( perihelion ), the Sun's gravitational field is stronger and the Earth is moving faster along its orbital path.

According to Archimedes in the Sandreckoner ( 2. 1 ), Aristarchus of Samos estimated the distance to the Sun to be 10, 000 times the Earth's radius ( the true value is about 23, 000 ).

However, the book On the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon, which has long been ascribed to Aristarchus, says that he calculated the distance to the sun to be between 18 and 20 times the distance to the Moon, whereas the true ratio is about 389. 174.

1st century BCE ), shows how the distance to the Sun can be computed geometrically, using the different lengths of the noontime shadows observed at three places 1000 li apart and the assumption that the Earth is flat.

Arizona State University's Division I athletic teams are called the Sun Devils, which is also the nickname used to refer to students and alumni of the university.

The Sun Devil mascot is named Sparky.

In this case, the absolute magnitude is defined as the apparent magnitude that the object would have if it were one astronomical unit ( AU ) from both the Sun and the observer.

Because the object is illuminated by the Sun, absolute magnitude is a function of phase angle and this relationship is referred to as the phase curve.
