I think it is essential, however, to pinpoint here the difference between the two concepts of sovereignty that went to war in 1861 -- if only to see better how imperative is our need today to clarify completely our far worse confusion on this subject.

The other reason ( and the one with which I am here concerned ) is that one thus becomes inclined to inquire of any opinion, or change of opinion, whether it represents the wisdom of experience or is only the result of the difference between youth and age which is as inevitable as the all too obvious physical differences.

Although the false glamour surrounding bourbon or other whisky commercials is possibly no more fatuous than the pseudo-sophistication with which TV soft-drinks are downed or toothpaste applied, there is a sad difference between enticing a viewer into sipping Oopsie-Cola and gulling him into downing bourbon.

This matter is of great importance, and the outcome may mean the difference between life or death, or at least serious injuries, for many veterans.

Such payments shall be made to small domestic producers of lead as long as the market price for common lead at New York, New York, as determined by the Secretary, is below 14-1/2 cents per pound, and such payments shall be 75 per centum of the difference between 14-1/2 cents per pound and the average market price for the month in which the sale occurred as determined by the Secretary.

Such payments shall be made to small domestic producers of zinc as long as the market price for prime western zinc at East Saint Louis, Illinois, as determined by the Secretary, is below 14-1/2 cents per pound, and such payments shall be 55 per centum of the difference between 14-1/2 cents per pound and the average market price for the month in which the sale occurred as determined by the Secretary.

A second fundamental principle is that involved particularly in the present proceeding -- the difference between nighttime and daytime propagation conditions with respect to the standard broadcast frequencies.

Because of the difference between daytime and nighttime propagation conditions, it has been necessary to evolve different allocation structures for daytime and nighttime broadcasting in the AM band, with many more stations operating during the day than at night.

A difference of opinion arose between Mr. Martinelli and John P. Bourcier, town solicitor, over the exact manner in which the vote is handled.

The electrochemical potential difference between stainless steel and aluminum is in the range of 0. 5 to 1. 0V, depending on the exact alloys involved, and can cause considerable corrosion within months under unfavorable conditions.

The exact choice of quiescent current, the standing current through both devices when there is no signal, makes a large difference to the level of distortion ( and to the risk of thermal runaway, that may damage the devices ); often the bias voltage applied to set this quiescent current has to be adjusted with the temperature of the output transistors ( for example in the circuit at the beginning of the article the diodes would be mounted physically close to the output transistors, and chosen to have a matched temperature coefficient ).

There is a difference between approximating roots and finding exact expressions for roots.

In November 1913 the Paris Observatory, using the Eiffel Tower as an antenna, exchanged sustained wireless ( radio ) signals with the United States Naval Observatory, using an antenna in Arlington, Virginia to determine the exact difference of longitude between the two institutions.

The main difference to these classical techniques is that reinforcement learning algorithms do not need the knowledge of the MDP and they target large MDPs where exact methods become infeasible.

Møller – Plesset perturbation theory uses the difference between the Hartree – Fock Hamiltonian and the exact non-relativistic Hamiltonian as the perturbation.

The difference between this " low-end " figure and other estimates can be explained by the lack of exact and detailed sources on the deportations statistics.

As LaFave noted critically this requirement is the difference between rotating a doughnut ( larceny ) and rotating a pie ( not larceny ), as all of the doughnut is moved through rotation while the pie's exact center remains in the same place when rotated.

Calvin's more audacious step, in his research monograph The Cerebral Code, comes when he suggests that the pattern of action potentials in any particular neocortical minicolumn can be replicated and spread through the cortex like a piece of software code and be " played " on the millions of other minicolumns in the same way one can play a million copies of a compact disc ( CD ) on a million CD players – the key difference being that while all CD players are designed to do basically the same task, the various cortical minicolumns can all have their own unique " ruts " and the copies of the firing patterns are not exact duplicates.

According to this view, the null hypothesis must be numerically exact — it must state that a particular quantity or difference is equal to a particular number.

"; which led to a series of publications by Lee and collaborators on the formulation of fundamental physics in terms of difference equations, but with exact invariance under continuous groups of translational and rotational transformations.

Studies dispute the exact difference in suicide rate compared to heterosexuals with a minimum of 0. 8 – 1. 1 times more likely for females and 1. 5 – 2. 5 times more likely for males.

The boundaries of Salisbury Plain have never been truly defined, and there is some difference of opinion as to its exact area.

The difference is that the symbols now form an exact sequence ( off the zero section ).

It can be seen that the integrand can be expressed as the exact differential of the function and that therefore, the integral can be expressed as the difference in the value of at the end points of the integration.

When the difference of two closed forms is an exact form, they are said to be cohomologous to each other.

For the earliest periods, there is uncertainty about the exact difference between a mormaer and a toisech ( Modern Scottish Gaelic < em lang =" gd "> tòiseach < em > ' chief ').

The exact difference between horizontal and diagonal dot pitch varies with the design of the monitor ( see pixel geometry and widescreen ), but a typical entry-level 0. 28 mm ( diagonal ) monitor has a horizontal pitch of 0. 24 or 0. 25 mm, a good quality 0. 26 mm ( diagonal ) unit has a horizontal pitch of 0. 22 mm.

A round-off error, also called rounding error, is the difference between the calculated approximation of a number and its exact mathematical value.

This has been likened to the difference between the verbs and in Spanish and Portuguese ( see Romance copula ), although this is not an exact match.

The exact amount of the difference is given by the ENBW difference of the two window functions.
