The wide divergence of reactions is clearly illustrated in the Kinsey studies in human sexuality.

Genetically speaking, the aardvark is a living fossil, as its chromosomes are highly conserved, reflecting much of the early eutherian arrangement before the divergence of the major modern taxa.

According to Steven H Silver, alternate history requires three things: 1 ) the story must have a point of divergence from the history of our world prior to the time at which the author is writing, 2 ) a change that would alter history as it is known, and 3 ) an examination of the ramifications of that change.

Therefore, the divergence of is given by

# Rapid speciation: presence of one or more bursts in the emergence of new species around the time that ecological and phenotypic divergence is underway.

This divergence between American English and British English once caused George Bernard Shaw to say that the United States and United Kingdom are " two countries divided by a common language "; a similar comment is ascribed to Winston Churchill.

* One central point of divergence is Steiner's views on reincarnation and karma.

If the assets used are not identical ( so a price divergence makes the trade temporarily lose money ), or the margin treatment is not identical, and the trader is accordingly required to post margin ( faces a margin call ), the trader may run out of capital ( if they run out of cash and cannot borrow more ) and go bankrupt even though the trades may be expected to ultimately make money.

Pre-Angkorian Khmer, the language after its divergence from Proto-Mon – Khmer until the ninth century, is only known from words and phrases in Sanskrit texts of the era.

The divergence of carnivorans from other miacids, as well as the divergence of the two clades within Carnivora, Caniformia and Feliformia, is now inferred to have happened in the middle Eocene, about 42 million years ago ( mya ).

Unlike the gradient and divergence, curl does not generalize as simply to other dimensions ; some generalizations are possible, but only in three dimensions is the geometrically defined curl of a vector field again a vector field.

However, studies of mitochondrial DNA show that the divergence between each of the three chipmunk groups is comparable to the genetic dissimilarity between Marmota and Spermophilus.

This is in analogy to electrostatics, in which the electric field ( E-field ) has a vanishing curl and the magnetic field ( B-field ) has a vanishing divergence.

Owing respectively to Green's theorem and the divergence theorem, such a field is necessarily conserved and free from sources or sinks, having net flux equal to zero through any open domain.

In vector calculus, divergence is a vector operator that measures the magnitude of a vector field's source or sink at a given point, in terms of a signed scalar.

Therefore the divergence of the velocity field in that region would have a positive value, as the region is a source.

If the air cools and contracts, the divergence is negative and the region is called a sink.

In physical terms, the divergence of a three dimensional vector field is the extent to which the vector field flow behaves like a source or a sink at a given point.

If the divergence is nonzero at some point then there must be a source or sink at that position.

More rigorously, the divergence of a vector field F at a point p is defined as the limit of the net flow of F across the smooth boundary of a three dimensional region V divided by the volume of V as V shrinks to p. Formally,

In light of the physical interpretation, a vector field with constant zero divergence is called incompressible or solenoidal – in this case, no net flow can occur across any closed surface.

If we use a cylindrical coordinate system with basis vectors, then the gradient of and the divergence of are given by

If a vector field F with zero divergence is defined on a ball in R < sup > 3 </ sup >, then there exists some vector field G on the ball with F = curl ( G ).

If T is a ( p, q )- tensor ( p for the contravariant vector and q for the covariant one ), then we define the divergence of T to be the ( p, q − 1 )- tensor

Paradoxically, it is possible to reduce the divergence of a laser beam by first expanding it with one convex lens, and then collimating it with a second convex lens whose focal point is coincident with that of the first lens.

Now, if we impose the Lorenz-Gauge condition, i. e., that the divergence of the four potential vanishes then we get

The isolated populations then undergo genotypic and / or phenotypic divergence as: ( a ) they become subjected to dissimilar selective pressures ; ( b ) they independently undergo genetic drift ; ( c ) different mutations arise in the two populations.

If we choose the volume to be a ball of radius a around the source point, then Gauss ' divergence theorem implies that

and u assumes the boundary values g on S, then we may apply Green's identity, ( a consequence of the divergence theorem ) which states that

The divergence is then given by

If magnetic charges do not exist – or if they do exist but are not present in a region of space – then the new terms in Maxwell's equations are all zero, and the extended equations reduce to the conventional equations of electromagnetism such as ∇• B = 0 ( where ∇• is divergence and B is the magnetic B field ).

If we have a probability distribution, ρ, then ( since the phase space velocity () has zero divergence, and probability is conserved ) its convective derivative can be shown to be zero and so

Apart from many fresh intellectual ideas and innovations ( for the Slovenian circumstances and intellectual coordinates, but very likely also in a wider sense ) Taja Kramberger has written many critical articles on various aspects of Slovenian history, cultural life, but also on broader European History and culture, e. g. on Spanish Civil War, different models of Enlightenment in Europe and the recurrent Enlightenment features in the works of Anton Tomaž Linhart, on epistemic divergence between Enlightenment's and Historismus's: de: Historismus ( Geschichtswissenschaft ) paradigms of historiography, on anthropology of translation, history of university and the formation of university habitus: fr: Habitus ( sociologie ), on literary and cultural fields: fr: Pierre Bourdieu # Théorie des champs in the 1930s in Slovenia ( by then partially covered by the administrative unit of Dravska banovina ) and on the role of women in the constitution of these fields etc.

Euler noted that if there were only a finite number of primes, then the product on the right would clearly converge, contradicting the divergence of the harmonic series.

An alternative hypothesis to account for this biogeographical puzzle, based in part on an estimated divergence date of 50 million years ago, is that these species are the descendants of a more widespread but now extinct lineage of Old World iguanids that migrated overland from the New World to Asia or Australia, and then dispersed by some combination of continental drift, rafting and / or land bridges to their present remote location.

The vicariant populations then undergo genotypic or phenotypic divergence as: ( a ) they become subjected to different selective pressures, ( b ) they independently undergo genetic drift, and ( c ) different mutations arise in the populations ' gene pools.

The use of a rat sequence also confirmed this topology and estimated date of divergence from the swine / human strains was 7. 44 × 10 < sup > 4 </ sup > years ago ( range 2. 1 × 10 < sup > 4 </ sup > to 1. 4 × 10 < sup > 5 </ sup > years ago ) Since this date is approximately coincident with the advent of agriculture it may be that this virus originally infected rats and subsequently spread to pigs and then to humans.

) and solving the flow equation for each element ( all material properties are assumed constant or possibly linearly variable within an element ), then linking together all the elements using conservation of mass across the boundaries between the elements ( similar to the divergence theorem ).

We must then require that the material derivative of the density vanishes, and equivalently ( for non-zero density ) so must the divergence of the fluid velocity:

However, this film then follows the common divergence from Shaw's plot when she returns to Love at the end.

Most What If stories begin with Uatu describing an event in the mainstream Marvel Universe, then introducing a point of divergence in that event and then describing the consequences of the divergence.
