Now we can argue that the irresistible fate of Oedipus Rex was nothing more than the irresistible unconscious longings of Oedipus projected outward, but this externalization of unconscious conflict makes all the difference between a story and a clinical case history.

You may therefore convert the gun into a small-game and plinking arm, although the difference in the point of impact ( Jet vs. rim-fire ) can be somewhat disconcerting.

These factors can make the difference between waste and efficiency in any benefit program.

If it is assumed that the formula given by Lodge of cosec Af applies, the pressure difference along the major axes can be calculated from the angle of inclination of the major axis, and from this the interfacial tension can be calculated.

The length of the arrow indicates amount of slowing or acceleration at Completion over that at Onset, and the difference in months can be read roughly by referring the arrow to the age scale along the base of each figure, or more precisely by referring to the original data in the appropriate tables.

Furthermore, one can find a neighborhood of Q in which the difference function is monotone, for since it is analytic it can have only a finite number of extrema in any interval.

Thus if E is sufficiently small, there can be only one intersection of C and Af near Q, for if there were more than one intersection for every E then the difference between C and Af near Q would not be a monotone function.

The fact that there can not be any limit points of the set except in closed intervals follows from the argument used in Lemma 1, namely, that near any tangent point in the C-plane the curves C and Af are analytic, and therefore the difference between them must be a monotone function in some neighborhood on either side of the tangent point.

Soil type, drainage, or degree of slope can make the difference between good crops and poor ones.

It can mean the difference between participation and inaction, spiritual growth and decay.

Anyone can draw his own conclusions from this difference.

Motivation usually makes the difference between " good " and " bad ," but motivation also includes the aspect of ignorance ; so a well-intended action from an ignorant mind can easily be " bad " in that it creates unpleasant results for the " actor.

Even if the resolution of an analog signal is higher than a comparable digital signal, the difference can be overshadowed by the noise in the signal.

The sum, difference, product and quotient of two algebraic numbers is again algebraic ( this fact can be demonstrated using the resultant ), and the algebraic numbers therefore form a field, sometimes denoted by A ( which may also denote the adele ring ) or < span style =" text-decoration: overline ;"> Q </ span >.

If there is a substantial difference between characters ' ranks, the conflict is generally over before the weaker character can react.

It can be defined as a difference, when measured along different axes, in a material's physical or mechanical properties ( absorbance, refractive index, conductivity, tensile strength, etc.

In LS AAS background absorption can only be corrected using instrumental techniques, and all of them are based on two sequential measurements, firstly, total absorption ( atomic plus background ), secondly, background absorption only, and the difference of the two measurements gives the net atomic absorption.

Therefore, since sound is in fact an infinitesimal pressure difference propagating through a fluid, the speed of sound in that fluid can be considered the fastest speed that " information " can travel in the flow.

To feel or see the difference between aspirated and unaspirated sounds, one can put a hand or a lit candle in front of one's mouth, and say pin and then bin.

Therefore bandwidth can be defined as the difference between the lower and upper half power points.

) or " plus or minus 1dB " ( roughly the sound level difference people usually can detect ).

In a neighborhood of Q the difference between these functions is also a single-valued, analytic function of U.

Although they " were expecting to see activity in the brain's reward centers ", based on the idea that " people perform altruistic acts because they feel good about it ", what they found was that " another part of the brain was also involved, and it was quite sensitive to the difference between doing something for personal gain and doing it for someone else's gain ".

The term " ethnic cleansing " was used as an alternative to " genocide " to denote not just ethnically motivated murder but also displacement, though critics charge there is no difference.

Size, however, is not the only difference: there are also substantial differences in shape.

In general, the difference between a statistics program and a biostatistics program is twofold: ( i ) statistics departments will often host theoretical / methodological research which are less common in biostatistics programs and ( ii ) statistics departments have lines of research that may include biomedical applications but also other areas such as industry ( quality control ), business and economics and biological areas other than medicine.

The distinctions also reflect an important and significant technical difference between memory and mass storage devices, which has been blurred by the historical usage of the term storage.

Particle sedimentation ( and also floating, although this phenomenon is less common ) arises from a difference in the density of the dispersed and of the continuous phase.

Musacchio also emphasises the difference between today's state capitalism and its predecessors.

The difference between the two definitions is that under the former, finite sets are also considered to be countable, while under the latter definition, they are not considered to be countable.

Moreover, if ( 1 ) is construed as a Lebesgue integral, then ( 1 ) is also undefined, because ( 1 ) is then defined simply as the difference ( 2 ) between positive and negative parts.

In 2000, the printer which Babbage originally designed for the difference engine was also completed.

A filter may also be described as a difference equation, a collection of zeroes and poles or, if it is an FIR filter, an impulse response or step response.

The other main component of différance is deferring, that takes into account the fact that meaning is not only a question of synchrony with all the other terms inside a structure, but also of diachrony, with everything that was said and will be said, in History, difference as structure and deffering as genesis.

He also lacked a symbol for a general number n. Where we would write, Diophantus has to resort to constructions like: ... a sixfold number increased by twelve, which is divided by the difference by which the square of the number exceeds three.

It is also known that the work is the difference in the heat absorbed at the hot reservoir and rejected at the cold one:

A multiplier ( which is a nonlinear device ) will generate ideally only the sum and difference frequencies, whereas an arbitrary nonlinear block would generate also signals at e. g. 2 · f < sub > 1 </ sub >- 3 · f < sub > 2 </ sub >, etc.

Spelling may also be useful to distinguish between homophones ( words with the same pronunciation but different meanings ), although in most cases the reason for the difference is historical and was not introduced for the purpose of making a distinction.

For if k, m, and n are integers, and k is a common factor of two integers A and B, then A = nk and B = mk implies A − B = ( n − m ) k, therefore k is also a common factor of the difference.

As required by the Gregorian calendar, to compensate for the difference, an end-of-century year is not a leap year unless it is also exactly divisible by 400.

The alveolars and dentals may also be either apical or laminal, but this difference is indicated with diacritics rather than with separate symbols.

A much more efficient method is the Euclidean algorithm, which uses a division algorithm such as long division in combination with the observation that the gcd of two numbers also divides their difference.

( See e. g. " fukasetsu " ( Japanese ), or ineffability, a quality of realization common to many, if not most, esoteric traditions ; see also Jung on the difference between sign and symbol.
