Then the characteristic ( or defining ) property of the ordered pair is:

The above characteristic property of ordered pairs is all that is required to understand the role of ordered pairs in mathematics.

Hence the ordered pair can be taken as a primitive notion, whose associated axiom is the characteristic property.

* In philosophy, property ( philosophy ), an abstraction of a characteristic of an entity or substance

The term is widely needed to support the more esoteric requirements of a number of disciplines including in philosophy when a concept is not available ; in biology when a genus is not available ; in law when a special and unique interpretation of a case or authority will be needed on-the-fly ; in town-planning where there is no existing use-case ; in intellectual property rights where there is no defining characteristic ; and in politics and societal norms where there is no real authority perceived.

However, sui generis statutes exist in many countries that extend intellectual property protection to matter that does not meet characteristic definitions: mask works, ship hull designs, fashion designs in France, databases, or plant varieties require sui generis statues because of their unique characteristics.

The work function is a characteristic property for any solid phase of a substance with a conduction band ( whether empty or partly filled ).

There were serious scientific objections to the process of natural selection as the key mechanism of evolution, including Karl von Nägeli's insistence that a trivial characteristic with no adaptive advantage could not be developed by selection.

Various experiments document that changes in the conditions under which the dance is performed lead to characteristic changes in recruitment to external resources, in a manner consistent with von Frisch's original conclusions.

Johannes von Müller of Schaffhausen, was the first who attempted to write ( 1780 ) a detailed history of Switzerland, which, though inspired more by his love of freedom than by any deep research, was very characteristic of his times.

Aside from these core elements, a civilization is often marked by any combination of a number of secondary elements, including a developed transportation system, writing, standardized measurement, currency, contractual and tort-based legal systems, characteristic art and architecture, mathematics, enhanced scientific understanding, metallurgy, political structures, and organized religion.

Examples of reasons for designating a performance characteristic as a DO rather than as a standard are ( a ) it may be bordering on an advancement in the state of the art, ( b ) the requirement may not have been fully confirmed by measurement or experience with operating circuits, and ( c ) it may not have been demonstrated that the requirement can be met considering other constraints, such as cost and size.

A noise weighting is a specific amplitude-vs .- frequency characteristic that is designed to allow subjectively valid measurement of noise.

' Either flat weighting or some other specific amplitude-frequency characteristic or noise weighting characteristic must be associated with the measurement.

The net result would be the measurement of a double-probe characteristic ; in other words, electron saturation current equal to the ion saturation current.

::" There is no true value of any characteristic, state, or condition that is defined in terms of measurement or observation.

Furthermore, experimental results obtained using these measurement methods has shown that the hardness number can be used to predict the stress required to permanently deform steel, a characteristic that fits in well with our idea of resistance to permanent deformation.

The problem is not really confronted by the Copenhagen Interpretation, which postulates that this is a special characteristic of the " measurement " process.

Using this measurement method, the dielectric constant may exhibit a resonance at certain frequencies corresponding to characteristic response frequencies ( excitation energies ) of contributors to the dielectric constant.

This approach is optimized for small message transfers that are characteristic of test and measurement applications.

Tan delta measurement allows detection of water trees, a characteristic branching tree-shaped form of damage due to water infiltration into solid dielectric.

The common characteristic to these is that a measurement of angular motion is combined with a measurement of the absolute velocity ( usually obtained via the Doppler effect ).

These differences include the following: the fact that nutritional supplements provide benefits that are variable and often qualitative in nature ; the measurement of nutrient absorption lacks the precision ; nutritional supplements are consumed for prevention and well-being ; nutritional supplements do not exhibit characteristic dose-response curves ; and dosing intervals of nutritional supplements, therefore, are not critical in contrast to drug therapy.

This characteristic was established through the measurement of the spins and parities of many hyperons.

It must be understood by the modern reader that historically, measurement systems were perfectly adequate within their own cultural milieu, and the understanding that a better more universal system ( based on more rationale and fundamental units ) only gradually spread with the maturation and appreciation of the rigor characteristic of Newtonian physics.

This approach is optimized for small message transfers that are characteristic of test and measurement applications.

S-parameters change with the measurement frequency, so frequency must be specified for any S-parameter measurements stated, in addition to the characteristic impedance or system impedance.
