The race problem has tended to obscure other, less emotional, issues which may fundamentally be even more divisive.

Accounts have been published of Northern liberals in the South up against segregationist prejudice, especially in state-supported universities where pressure may be strong to uphold the majority view.

Nevertheless, it may be helpful to cite one example -- that of employment -- for, as will be shown below, it cuts across both facets of the new concept.

A measure of its widespread acceptance may be derived from a statement of the International Congress of Jurists in 1959.

Recognizing that the Rule of Law is `` a dynamic concept which should be employed not only to safeguard the civil and political rights of the individual in a free society '', the Congress asserted that it also included the responsibility `` to establish social, economic, educational and cultural conditions under which his legitimate aspirations and dignity may be realized ''.

What these fragments are and how they activate the go order may not be revealed.

An example of the changes which have crept over the Southern region may be seen in the Southern Negro's quest for a position in the white-dominated society, a problem that has been reflected in regional fiction especially since 1865.

While there may still be many Faulknerian Lucas Beauchamps scattered through the rural South, such men appear to be a vanishing breed.

or it may involve more subtle distinctions: the sway may be gradually minimized or enlarged, its rhythmic emphasis may be slightly modified, or it may be transferred to become a movement of only the arms or the head.

The approach to the depiction of the experience of creation may be analytic, as it is for Miss Litz, or spontaneous, as it is for Merle Marsicano.

An idea, let us say, may be roughly defined as a theme or topic with which our reflection may be concerned.

An adventure is defined as an exciting or unusual experience ; it may also be a bold, usually risky undertaking, with an uncertain outcome.

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 ").

One may generalize this to " closed-form numbers ", which may be defined in various ways.

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 ).

The term may also refer to the physical region where the electron can be calculated to be, as defined by the particular mathematical form of the orbital.

Atomic orbitals may be defined more precisely in formal quantum mechanical language.

An artist also may be defined unofficially as " a person who expresses him-or herself through a medium ".

A model of computation may be defined in terms of an abstract computer, e. g., Turing machine, and / or by postulating that certain operations are executed in unit time.

An abstract data type is defined indirectly, only by the operations that may be performed on it and by mathematical constraints on the effects ( and possibly cost ) of those operations.

The term archaeoastronomy was first used by Elizabeth Chesley Baity ( at the suggestion of Euan MacKie ) in 1973, but as a topic of study it may be much older, depending on how archaeoastronomy is defined.

In a category with exponentials, using the isomorphism ( in computer science, this is called currying ), the Ackermann function may be defined via primitive recursion over higher-order functionals as follows:

Level I, or associative learning, may be defined as retention of input and rote memorization of simple facts and skills.

The function ƒ ( x ) may or may not be defined at a, and its precise value at the point x = a does not affect the asymptote.

For example, the species, man, may be defined as an animal ( genus ) that is rational ( difference ).

One can also consider partial binary functions, which may be defined only for certain values of the inputs.

Because this range of non-zero amplitude may be very broad or infinite, this definition is typically relaxed so that the bandwidth is defined as the range of frequencies in which the signal's spectral density is above a certain threshold relative to its maximum.

The other way that a waste may fall under the scope of the Convention is if it is defined as or considered to be a hazardous waste under the laws of either the exporting country, the importing country, or any of the countries of transit.

The field may also be referred to as computational biology, and can be defined as, " conceptualizing biology in terms of molecules and then applying informatics techniques to understand and organize the information associated with these molecules, on a large scale.

Several elementary functions which are defined via power series may be defined in any unital Banach algebra ; examples include the exponential function and the trigonometric functions, and more generally any entire function.
