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.

A common theme is a mountain which blocked the Sun, but on the right day would allow the tiniest fraction to re-emerge on the other side for a ' double sunset '.

In the Sun, deuterium-producing events are so rare ( diprotons, the much more common result of nuclear reactions within the star, immediately decay back into two protons ) that a complete conversion of the star's hydrogen would take more than ( ten billion ) years at the prevailing conditions of its core.

These FPUs, the 68881 and 68882, were common in Motorola 68020 / 68030-based workstations like the Sun 3 series.

In common usage, horoscope often refers to an astrologer's interpretation, usually based on a system of Sun sign astrology ; or on the calendar significance of an event, as in Chinese astrology.

For Newton, " the common centre of gravity of the Earth, the Sun and all the Planets is to be esteem'd the Centre of the World " ( Proposition 12, corollary ), and that this centre " either is at rest, or moves uniformly forward in a right line " ( Proposition 11 & preceding Hypothesis ).

) Newton estimated the mass ratios Sun: Jupiter and Sun: Saturn ( Proposition 8, Corollary 2 ), and pointed out that these put the centre of the Sun usually a little way off the common center of gravity, but only a little, the distance at most " would scarcely amount to one diameter of the Sun " ( Proposition 12 ).

A red dwarf has a mass of less than half that of the Sun ( down to about 0. 075 solar masses, below which stellar objects are brown dwarfs ) and a surface temperature of less than 4, 000 K. Red dwarfs are by far the most common type of star in the Galaxy, at least in the neighborhood of the Sun.

A common misconception is that sunflower heads track the Sun across the sky.

A common misconception is that the First Age started only with the Years of the Sun, and it is sometimes referred to as the " First Age of the Sun ", beginning with the first rising of the Sun and continuing until Morgoth's defeat.

The HDE 226868 / Cygnus X-1 system shares a common motion through space with an association of massive stars named Cygnus OB3, which is located at roughly from the Sun.

The most common are perigee and apogee, referring to orbits around the Earth ( Greek, gê, " earth "), and perihelion and aphelion, referring to orbits around the Sun ( Greek, hēlios, " sun ").

At age fourteen years, using the I IV V chord progression common to country songs of the day, he wrote what came to be known around Jackson as " Let Me Take You To the Movie, Magg " ( the song would convince Sam Phillips to sign Perkins to his Sun Records label ).

Stepdaughters are her most common victim, and then stepdaughter / stepson pairs, but stepsons also are victims as in The Juniper Tree — sometime, as in East of the Sun and West of the Moon, because he refused to marry his stepsister as she wished, or, indeed, they may make their stepdaughters-in-law their victims, as in The Boys with the Golden Stars.

For Newton it was not precisely the centre of the Sun or any other body that could be considered at rest, but " the common centre of gravity of the Earth, the Sun and all the Planets is to be esteem'd the Centre of the World ", and this centre of gravity " either is at rest or moves uniformly forward in a right line " ( Newton adopted the " at rest " alternative in view of common consent that the centre, wherever it was, was at rest )

Before his name was securely deciphered from extant Maya inscriptions, this ruler has been known by an assortment of nicknames and approximations, common ones including Pakal ( or Pacal ), " Sun Shield ", " 8 Ahau ", and ( familiarly ) as Pacal the Great.

The Winnipeg Sun was originally launched by independent interests, only later coming under common ownership to the Toronto Sun, which subsequently elicited a redesign in Sun Media style.

There have been attempts to incorporate democracy, republicanism, and industrialism into Chinese philosophy, notably by Sun Yat-Sen ( Sūn yì xiān, in one Mandarin form of the name ) at the beginning of the 20th century.

Unlike Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek was socially conservative, promoting traditional Chinese culture in the New Life Movement and rejecting western democracy and the nationalist democratic socialism that Sun Yat-sen and some other members of the KMT embraced in favor of a nationalist authoritarian government.

Sun Yat-sen's career was at its lowest point then, with most of his old Revolutionary Alliance comrades refusing to join him in the exiled Chinese Revolutionary Party.

In 1927, when he was setting up the Nationalist government in Nanjing, he was preoccupied with " the elevation of our leader Dr. Sun Yat-sen to the rank of ' Father of our Chinese Republic '.

By adopting the name Chung-cheng (" central uprightness "), he was choosing a name very similar to the name of Sun Yat-sen, who was ( and still is ) known among Chinese as Zhongshan ( 中山 — meaning " central mountain "), thus establishing a link between the two.

As a result of those connections, Linebarger's godfather was Sun Yat-sen, considered the father of Chinese nationalism.

Linebarger's cultural links to China are partially expressed in the pseudonym " Felix C. Forrest ", which he used in addition to " Cordwainer Smith ": his godfather Sun Yat-Sen suggested to Linebarger that he adopt the Chinese name " Lin Bai-lo " (), which may be roughly translated as " Forest of Incandescent Bliss ".

The original form of the theorem, contained in a third-century AD book The Mathematical Classic of Sun Zi ( 孫子算經 ) by Chinese mathematician Sun Tzu and later generalized with a complete solution called Da yan shu ( 大衍术 ) in a 1247 book by Qin Jiushao, the Shushu Jiuzhang ( 數書九章 Mathematical Treatise in Nine Sections ) is a statement about simultaneous congruences ( see modular arithmetic ).

The Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese ( 香港華人西醫書院 ) was founded in 1887 by the London Missionary Society, with its first graduate ( in 1892 ) being Sun Yat-sen ( 孫中山 ).

Sun later led the Chinese Revolution ( 1911 ), which changed China from an empire to a republic.

Sun understood it as an industrial economy and equality of land holdings for the Chinese peasant farmers.

The Kuomintang used traditional Chinese religious ceremonies, the souls of Party martyrs who died fighting for the Kuomintang and the revolution and the party founder Dr. Sun Yatsen were sent to heaven according to the Kuomintang party.

General Ma Bufang and other high ranking Muslim Generals attended the Kokonuur Lake Ceremony where the God of the Lake was worshipped, and during the ritual, the Chinese national anthem was sung, all participants bowed to a Portrait of Kuomintang party founder Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and the God of the Lake was also bowed to, and offerings were given to him by the participants, which included the Muslims.

During the Warring States period of Chinese history ( 480-221 BC ) extensive development in martial philosophy and strategy emerged, as described by Sun Tzu in The Art of War ( c. 350 BC ).

Later that year, the Chinese armed forces, inspired by the republican ideas of Sun, rose up in insurrection against the Emperor across southern China, sparking the Xinhai Revolution.

Written by Chinese general Sun Tzu in the 6th century BC, The Art of War is a military strategy book that, for managerial purposes, recommends being aware of and acting on strengths and weaknesses of both a manager's organization and a foe's.

The Chinese remainder theorem appears as an exercise in Sun Zi's Suan Ching ( also known as The Mathematical Classic of Sun Zi ( 3rd, 4th or 5th century CE.
