Considering then the optimism which has permeated science fiction for so long, what is really remarkable is that during the last twelve years many science-fiction writers have turned about and attacked their own cherished vision of the future, have attacked the Childhood's End kind of faith that science and technology will inevitably better the human condition.

`` Unless the oyabun has been working on it '', he said, then checked himself and added: `` You can tell Kayabashi-san that the back road is in very good condition and will be quite safe for his party to use ''.

As if she were weighed down with old age and worn out by grief, she walked slowly and when she approached the actual entrance to the sanctuary made two genuflections ; on the third she sank to the floor and taking firm hold of the sacred doors, cried in a loud voice: " Unless my hands are cuff off, I will not leave this holy place except on one condition: that I receive the emperor's cross as guarantee of safety ".

In such cases a common convention is to use the " elsewhere condition " to decide which allophone will stand for the phoneme.

Each individual test, known as a case, exercises a particular operating condition of the user's environment or feature of the system, and will result in a pass or fail, or boolean, outcome.

A necessary and sufficient condition for a Banach space X to be associated to an inner product ( which will then necessarily make X into a Hilbert space ) is the parallelogram identity:

If the column load is gradually increased, a condition is reached in which the straight form of equilibrium becomes so-called neutral equilibrium, and a small lateral force will produce a deflection that does not disappear and the column remains in this slightly bent form when the lateral force is removed.

In particular, one should think of the condition number as being ( very roughly ) the rate at which the solution, x, will change with respect to a change in b. Thus, if the condition number is large, even a small error in b may cause a large error in x.

On the other hand, if the condition number is small then the error in x will not be much bigger than the error in b.

The condition number may also be infinite, in which case the algorithm will not reliably find a solution to the problem, not even a weak approximation of it ( and not even its order of magnitude ) with any reasonable and provable accuracy.

We will use the notation to denote the multiplicative inverse of, it is defined exactly when and are coprime ; the following construction explains why the coprimality condition is needed.

If hypertonic therapy continues or is too rapid, the extracellular tonicity will continue to drive water out of the brain's cells, leading to cellular dysfunction and the condition of central pontine myelinolysis.

Some scientists have predicted that unless significant measures ( such as seeking out and protecting old growth forests that have not been disturbed ) are taken on a worldwide basis, by 2030 there will only be 10 % remaining, with another 10 % in a degraded condition.

He went on to say that he believes his hearing damage is partially due to a genetic predisposition to hearing loss, and that he will never return to the stage for fear of worsening not only his condition but also that of his band mates.

The analysis of linear systems is possible because they satisfy a superposition principle: if u ( t ) and w ( t ) satisfy the differential equation for the vector field ( but not necessarily the initial condition ), then so will u ( t ) + w ( t ).

Roderick Stackleberg places fascism — including Nazism, which he says is " a radical variant of fascism " — on the right, explaining that " the more a person deems absolute equality among all people to be a desirable condition, the further left he or she will be on the ideological spectrum.

The total DALY does not necessarily indicate what is the most individually disabling, because it also depends on how common a condition is ; for example, schizophrenia is found to be the most individually disabling mental disorder on average but is less common.

" Rejecting Cicero's view that men join in society primarily through " a certain social spirit which nature has implanted in man ," Hobbes declares that men join in society simply for the purpose of " getting themselves out from that miserable condition of Warre, which is necessarily consequent ... to the naturall Passions of men, when there is no visible Power to keep them in awe.

In particular, this allows theorems similar to that asserting the equivalence of condition 1 and condition 2, to hold in the context of topological spaces which do not necessarily have a countable or linearly ordered neighbourhood basis around a point.

Proudhon's conclusion is that " property, to be just and possible, must necessarily have equality for its condition.

In order theory, the famous Suslin problem asks whether every linear continuum satisfying the countable chain condition that has no maximum or minimum element is necessarily order-isomorphic to.

**: Problem: Rain is a sufficient condition of cloudiness, but cloudy conditions do not necessarily imply rain.

This means that androgens have to be present for BPH to occur, but do not necessarily directly cause the condition.

Those maintained as private homes ; such as Arundel, Berkeley, Carlisle and Winchester were in much better condition, but not necessarily defendable in a conflict ; while some such as Bolsover were redesigned as more modern dwellings in a Palladian style.

This mix can be stored at room temperature in closed but not necessarily sealed containers, but in this condition, they are best preserved frozen.

Proudhon claims that his treatise " shall prove beyond a doubt that property, to be just and possible, must necessarily have equality for its condition.

It is naturalistic in purging earlier notions of economic change as teleological or necessarily improving the human condition.

In most developed countries, improvements in technology, medicine, education, and public health have brought about quantitative, not necessarily qualitative, marked changes in the human condition over the last few hundred years, with increases in life expectancy and population ( see demographic transition ).

The purpose of a commonwealth is given at the start of Part II: THE final cause, end, or design of men ( who naturally love liberty, and dominion over others ) in the introduction of that restraint upon themselves, in which we see them live in Commonwealths, is the foresight of their own preservation, and of a more contented life thereby ; that is to say, of getting themselves out from that miserable condition of war which is necessarily consequent, as hath been shown, to the natural passions of men when there is no visible power to keep them in awe, and tie them by fear of punishment to the performance of their covenants ....

Every association of men is necessarily a separation from other men ... the political thus understood is not the constitutive principle of the state, of order, but a condition of the state.

A deep knowledge of moral philosophy and the iniquities of the human condition, for example, do not necessarily imply any valid expertise on astrophysics, Phoenician literature, or the literal existence of God.

If the requirement for the countable chain condition is replaced with the requirement that R contains a countable dense subset ( i. e., R is a separable space ) then the answer is indeed yes: any such set R is necessarily isomorphic to R.

Thus such sets of points impose one fewer condition on cubics containing them than expected, and accordingly satisfy an additional constraint, namely the Cayley – Bacharach theorem that any cubic that contains eight of the points necessarily contains the ninth.
