Meanwhile, the increasing number ( albeit still pitifully few ) of radiocarbon dates for the primary use of brochs ( as opposed to their later, secondary use ) still suggests that most of the towers were built in the 1st centuries BC and AD.

Steven Weinberg and a number of string theorists ( see string landscape ) have used this as evidence for the anthropic principle, which suggests that the cosmological constant is so small because life ( and thus physicists, to make observations ) cannot exist in a universe with a large cosmological constant, but many people find this an unsatisfying explanation.

Furthermore, the history of a number of ongoing experiments in multiculturalism, such as in the European Union, India, South Africa, Canada and the United States, suggests that workable, if not perfected, integrative models exist.

While there is not a large body of academic work examining the relationship, Hironaka's statistical study found a correlation that suggests that every major international anti-secessionist declaration increased the number of ongoing civil wars by + 10 %, or a total + 114 % from 1945 to 1997.

Although the present-day, loose use of the term " cyberspace " no longer implies or suggests immersion in a virtual reality, current technology allows the integration of a number of capabilities ( sensors, signals, connections, transmissions, processors, and controllers ) sufficient to generate a virtual interactive experience that is accessible regardless of a geographic location.

Trailing zeros after the decimal point are not necessary, although in science, engineering and statistics they can be retained to indicate a required precision or to show a level of confidence in the accuracy of the number: Although 0. 080 and 0. 08 are numerically equal, in engineering 0. 080 suggests a measurement with an error of up to one part in two thousand (± 0. 0005 ), while 0. 08 suggests a measurement with an error of up to one in two hundred ( see significant figures ).

Examination of the pol genes that encode the DNA dependent DNA polymerase in various groups of viruses suggests a number of possible evolutionary relationships.

The Drake equation is closely related to the Fermi paradox in that Drake suggested that a large number of extraterrestrial civilizations would form, but that the lack of evidence of such civilizations ( the Fermi paradox ) suggests that technological civilizations tend to disappear rather quickly.

* Bundles of groups, group actions, sets, and equivalence relations can be regarded as special cases of the notion of groupoid, a point of view that suggests a number of analogies ;

However, a survey by the UK Office for National Statistics ( ONS ) in 2010 found that 1. 5 % of Britons identified themselves as gay or bisexual, and the ONS suggests that this is in line with other surveys showing the number between 0. 3 % and 3 %.

This suggests that the original genetic code was based on a smaller number of amino acids – only those available in prebiotic nature – than the current one.

James Sheptycki has analyzed the effects of the new information technologies on the organization of policing-intelligence and suggests that a number of ‘ organizational pathologies ’ have arisen that make the functioning of security-intelligence processes in transnational policing deeply problematic.

This study suggests that even though coding is often completed faster than when one programmer works alone, the total amount of man-hours ( number of programmers × time spent ) increases.

A Jewish tradition suggests that there were twice as many prophets as the number which left Egypt, which would make 1, 200, 000 prophets.

This suggests that, to reduce the number of memory accesses, a fixed length machine could store constants in unused bits of the instruction word itself, so that they would be immediately ready when the CPU needs them ( much like immediate addressing in a conventional design ).

Emerging evidence suggests that the Earth underwent a number of glaciations during the Neoproterozoic, which would stand strongly at odds with the Snowball hypothesis.

" However phenomena such as the uncanny accuracy of the Beliefnet religious survey in identifying UUs and potential UUs, and the number of people who call themselves UUs although they do not belong to UU churches suggests that there is a core of belief.

A number of researchers disagree with this and suggest that the northern latitudes permitted enough synthesis of vitamin D combined with food sources from hunting to keep populations healthy, and only when agriculture was adopted was there a need for lighter skin to maximize the synthesis of vitamin D. The theory suggests that the reduction of game meat, fish, and some plants from the diet resulted in skin turning light many thousands of years after settlement in Europe and Asia.

David Zvi Hoffman suggests that there existed ancient texts in the form of the present day Shulchan Aruch that discussed the basic laws of day to day living and it was therefore not necessary to focus on these laws in the Mishnah.

One view suggests that the motivation and purpose of the laws providing for the removal of Aboriginal children from their parents was child protection, with government policy makers and officials responding to an observed need to provide protection for neglected, abused or abandoned mixed-descent children.

Weinberg suggests that we know principles ( Newton's laws of motion and gravitation ) that work " well enough " for simple examples, like the motion of planets in empty space.

The United States Secretary of Labor is the head of the Department of Labor who exercises control over the department and enforces and suggests laws involving unions, the workplace, and all other issues involving any form of business-person controversies.

This suggests that non-regulatory factors such as urban infrastructure and financing may be as important as zoning laws in shaping urban form.

This interpretation suggests that the " English Revolution " was the final act in the long process of reform and consolidation by Parliament to achieve a balanced constitutional monarchy in Britain, and laws were made that pointed towards freedom.
