Wilson, who defines androids as a " synthetic human being ", distinguishes between three types of androids, based on their body's composition:

Just six elements — carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, calcium, and phosphorus — make up almost 99 % of the mass of a human body ( see composition of the human body for a complete list ).

Behaviors can be either innate or learned, however, current research in the Human Microbiome Project points towards a possibility that human behavior may be influenced by the composition of the microbe population within a human body.

Just six elements — carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, calcium, and phosphorus — make up almost 99 % of the mass of a human body ( see composition of the human body for a complete list ).

Eugenics is the " applied science or the bio-social movement which advocates the use of practices aimed at improving the genetic composition of a population ", usually a human population.

It is argued that these differences can come by human variability, such as by growth in theological knowledge over time, different occasion for writing, as well as use of different secretaries ( or amanuensis ) in composition.

Impressionist painting characteristics include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities ( often accentuating the effects of the passage of time ), common, ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles.

Among the qualities that make Leonardo's work unique are the innovative techniques that he used in laying on the paint, his detailed knowledge of anatomy, light, botany and geology, his interest in physiognomy and the way in which humans register emotion in expression and gesture, his innovative use of the human form in figurative composition, and his use of the subtle gradation of tone.

Certain American conservatives, fundamentalists and evangelicals believe that the scriptures are both human and divine in origin: human in their manner of composition, but divine in that their source is God, the Holy Spirit, who governed the writers of scripture in such a way that they recorded nothing at all contrary to the truth.

The vibratory and viscoelastic characteristics of human VFs are mainly attributed to the molecular composition of SLLPs.

He argued for three general propositions: that the past revealed an order that could be understood in terms of the progressive development of human capabilities, showing that humanity's " present state, and those through which it has passed, are a necessary constitution of the moral composition of humankind "; that the progress of the natural sciences must be followed by progress in the moral and political sciences " no less certain, no less secure from political revolutions "; that social evils are the result of ignorance and error rather than an inevitable consequence of human nature.

His work is admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition and for its visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur.

But if, according to Longinus, the sublime, being the highest excellence that human composition can attain to, abundantly compensates the absence of every other beauty, and atones for all other deficiencies, then Michael Angelo demands the preference.

The ability for these animals to have improved FCR is due to an altered composition of body weight gain which includes increased protein and decreased fat deposition.

Maintaining muscle mass while losing fat is therefore a key factor to reach both the ideal weight and body composition.

The final characteristics are determined by the composition and preparation of the clay body, by the temperature at which it is fired, and by the glazes that may be used.

Studies of nutritional status must take into account the state of the body before and after experiments, as well as the chemical composition of the whole diet and of all material excreted and eliminated from the body ( in urine and feces ).

Though the body has existed intermittently since medieval times, its current composition and the nature of its work are defined in the constitution and subsequent laws that have been published, the most recent in 2004.

This varies on the basis of body composition, with body fat lowering the density, and increasing floatation.

Consequently, the thin optical surface layer could be quite different from the regolith underneath, and not representative of the bulk composition of the body.

A number of factors can influence its efficacy, including chemical composition of the stone, presence of anomalous renal anatomy and the specific location of the stone within the kidney, presence of hydronephrosis, body mass index, and distance of the stone from the surface of the skin.

The importance of the office is reflected by the composition of the Accession Council, a body which proclaims the accession of new Sovereigns.

This test measures changes in body weight, urine output, and urine composition when fluids are withheld and as dehydration occurs.

Subsequent models soon incorporated mechanical coupling between the lens and the camera body, indicating the working aperture to the camera while allowing the lens to be at its maximum aperture for composition and focusing ; this feature became known as automatic aperture control or automatic diaphragm control.

) in a parallel body for composition and focusing.

Specifically, individuals with PWS have short stature, are obese with abnormal body composition, have reduced fat free mass ( FFM ), have reduced lean body mass ( LBM ) and total energy expenditure, and have decreased bone density.

Going back over this ground and analyzing the composition of forces which have created the present scene is one of the tasks undertaken by the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, in Santa Barbara.

I would not want to be one of those writers who begin each morning by exclaiming, `` O Gogol, O Chekhov, O Thackeray and Dickens, what would you have made of a bomb shelter ornamented with four plaster-of-Paris ducks, a birdbath, and three composition gnomes with long beards and red mobcaps ''??

The most active preparations obtained by these two groups of investigators appear to be similar in potency, composition and physical properties.

Then, advised by the Architect of the Capitol, the Joint Committee for the Library, traditionally responsible for the works of art in the building, ordered the space cleared and painted in fresco, to show `` the Peace after the Civil War '', `` the Spanish-American War '', and `` the Birth of Aviation '', to match as nearly as feasible Brumidi's technique and composition.

Salinger said the work President Kennedy, advisers, and members of his staff were doing on the address involved composition and wording, rather than last minute decisions on administration plans to meet the latest Berlin crisis precipitated by Russia's demands and proposals for the city.

* List of countries by GDP sector composition – breakdown includes agricultural sector information

The effect of angst is achieved by Shostakovich, Mahler and Berg in compositions of wide dynamic range, at times seemingly spinning out of control ( Mahler ), and atonal music using the twelve-tone row method of composition ( Berg, Schoenberg and others ) to create an angst ridden atmosphere of grotesque sound.

The composition is jammed by clashing colors, which is unlike what we've seen in the balanced, natural, and dramatic colors of the High Renaissance.

The composition of resins is highly variable ; each species produces a unique blend of chemicals which can be identified by the use of pyrolysis – gas chromatography – mass spectrometry.

Its chemical composition makes it difficult to match the amber to its producers – it is most similar to the resins produced by flowering plants ; however, there are no flowering plant fossils until the Cretaceous, and they were not common until the Upper Cretaceous.

Aimoin's third work was the composition of books ii and iii of the Miracula sancti Benedicti, the first book of which was written by another monk of Fleury named Adrevald.

However, this division into two groups is considered by some modern scholars to be too simplistic and often it is practically impossible to know whether a lyric composition was sung or recited, or whether or not it was accompanied by musical instruments and dance.

Didymus reports that the work transmitted as speech 11 of Demosthenes ( Against the Letter of Philip ) could be found in almost identical form in Book 7 of Anaximenes ' Philippica, and many scholars regard the work as a historiographic composition by Anaximenes.

Lavoisier also contributed to early ideas on composition and chemical changes by stating the radical theory, believing that radicals, which function as a single group in a chemical process, combine with oxygen in reactions.

It was these formations that the scientific community widely suspected were formed by lunar volcanism ; however, this hypothesis was proven incorrect by the composition of retrieved lunar samples from the mission.

By 1906, he was studying music full-time ; by 1907, he began composition lessons.

Other well-known Berg compositions include the Lyric Suite ( 1926 ), which was later shown to employ elaborate cyphers to document a secret love affair ; the extraordinarily elaborate post-Mahlerian Three Pieces for Orchestra ( completed in 1915 but not performed until after Wozzeck ); and the Chamber Concerto ( Kammerkonzert, 1923 – 25 ) for violin, piano and 13 wind instruments: this latter is written so conscientiously that Pierre Boulez has called it " Berg's strictest composition " and it, too, is permeated by cyphers and posthumously disclosed hidden programs.

Since Lavoisier's knowledge of strong acids was mainly restricted to oxoacids, such as ( nitric acid ) and ( sulphuric acid ), which tend to contain central atoms in high oxidation states surrounded by oxygen, and since he was not aware of the true composition of the hydrohalic acids ( HF, HCl, HBr, and HI ), he defined acids in terms of their containing oxygen, which in fact he named from Greek words meaning " acid-former " ( from the Greek οξυς ( oxys ) meaning " acid " or " sharp " and γεινομαι ( geinomai ) meaning " engender ").

This definition was proposed by Justus von Liebig circa 1838, based on his extensive works on the chemical composition of organic acids.

The close relationship of alternative algebras and composition algebras was given by Guy Roos in 2008: He shows ( page 162 ) the relation for an algebra A with unit element e and an involutive anti-automorphism such that a + a * and aa * are on the line spanned by e for all a in A.

Such information may not be amenable to analysis by other means ( e. g. TEM ) owing to the difficulty in generating a three dimensional dataset with composition.
