As the dancer is depersonalized, his accouterments are animized, and the combined elements give birth to a new being.

Often it is recognized that all the details of the pattern may not be essential to the outcome but, because the pattern was empirically determined and not developed through theoretical understanding, one is never quite certain which behavior elements are effective, and the whole pattern becomes ritualized.

This almost trivial example is nevertheless suggestive, for there are some elements in common between the antique fear that the days would get shorter and shorter and our present fear of war.

What elements of our behavior are decisive??

We have staved off a war and, since our behavior has involved all these elements, we can only keep adding to our ritual without daring to abandon any part of it, since we have not the slightest notion which parts are effective.

We are forced, in our behavior towards others, to adopt empirically successful patterns in toto because we have such a minimal understanding of their essential elements.

that is, he is suspect, guilty, punishable, as is anyone in Mann's stories who produces illusion, and this is true even though the constant elements of the artist-nature, technique, magic, guilt and suffering, are divided in this story between Jacoby and Lautner.

And yet the elements which capture his liberal and humanistic imagination are those which make the English story worth telling and worth remembering.

Their conclusions concerning the untrustworthiness of the West Saxon annals, the confused chronology of Bede, the unreliability of the early positions of the Anglo-Saxon genealogies and the mythological elements contained in Nennius are now mostly accepted.

Rousseau's primitivism, the anti-Newtonian mythology of Blake, Coleridge's organic metaphysics, Victor Hugo's image of the poets as the Magi, and Shelley's `` unacknowledged legislators '' are related elements in the rear-guard action fought by the romantics against the new scientific rationalism.

And they have done this on a very large scale, with a veritable flood of novels and stories which are either dystopias or narratives of adventure with dystopian elements.

The novels and stories like Pohl's Drunkard's Walk ( 1960 ), with the focus on adventure and with the dystopian elements only a dim background -- in this case an uneasy, overpopulated world in which the mass of people do uninteresting routine jobs while a carefully selected, university-trained elite runs everything -- are in all likelihood as numerous as dystopias.

They are the result of a constant and careful contest with the elements.

If ( remember this is an assumption ) the minimal polynomial for T decomposes Af where Af are distinct elements of F, then we shall show that the space V is the direct sum of the null spaces of Af.

In the first case the fixed elements within each pencil are the multiple secant and the line joining the vertex, P, to the intersection of **zg and the plane of the pencil which does not lie on the multiple secant.

In the second, the fixed elements are the lines which join the vertex, P, to the two intersections of **zg and the plane of the pencil which do not lie on the multiple secant.

Our conjecture is, then, that regardless of the manner in which school lessons are taught, the compulsive child accentuates those elements of each lesson that aid him in systematizing his work.

In considering roleplaying for analysis we enter a more complex area, since we are now no longer dealing with a simple over-all decision but rather with the examination and evaluation of many elements seen in dynamic functioning.

To others whose concern it is to penetrate the significance of Christian Humanism, the Renaissance elements are of primary concern.

The details of the setting of `` Neutral Tones '' are not, strictly speaking, metaphorical, but they combine to create a mood which is appropriate both to a dismal winter day and to the end of love, and in this way love and weather, the emotions and the elements, symbolize each other in a way that is common to many of Hardy's best poems ( `` Weathers '', `` The Darkling Thrush '', and `` During Wind and Rain '', for example ) and to some moving passages in the novels as well ( Far From The Madding Crowd is full of scenes constructed in this way ).

Submarines and shore installations are new elements.

This, despite postwar experience demonstrating that all elements are necessarily mutually supporting.

these films and these sequences are also seeking out -- instinctively or by design -- the peculiarly cinematic elements of narrative.

The terms are generally taken for granted as though they referred to direct and axiomatic elements in the common experience of all.

However, even if the latent demand for demythologization is not nearly as widespread as we are claiming, at least among the cultured elements of the population there tends to be an almost complete indifference to the church and its traditional message of sin and grace.

He seeks to make his dancers more `` godlike '' by relating them to the impersonal elements of shape, light, color, and sound.

During a sojourn of slightly more than three months Chamberlain Littlepage could see action on both elements.

For me it has more of both elements than the majority of its competitors.

The bridge has survived the natural hazards of the elements, war, fire, and floods, as well as injuries incident to heavy traffic, for more than a hundred years.

Where boundary maintenance describes the boundaries or limits of the group, systemic linkage is defined `` as the process whereby one or more of the elements of at least two social systems is articulated in such a manner that the two systems in some ways and on some occasions may be viewed as a single unit.

Elements used in combination will increase the over-all capability more than the sum of the capabilities of the individual elements.

Before considering these elements in more detail, an additional requirement should be stated.

Another problem was that the gradual identification of more and more chemically similar and indistinguishable lanthanides, which were of an uncertain number, led to inconsistency and uncertainty in the numbering of all elements at least from lutetium ( element 71 ) onwards ( hafnium was not known at this time ).

This is not the most general situation of a Cartesian product of a family of sets, where a same set can occur more than once as a factor ; however, one can focus on elements of such a product that select the same element every time a given set appears as factor, and such elements correspond to an element of the Cartesian product of all distinct sets in the family.

The group of elements is more diverse than the lanthanides and therefore it was not until 1945 that Glenn T. Seaborg proposed the most significant change to Mendeleev's periodic table, by introducing the actinides.

All other nuclides ( isotopes of hydrogen and all other elements ) have more nucleons than electrons, so the fraction of mass taken by the nucleus is closer to 100 % for all of these types of atoms, than for hydrogen-1 .</ ref > with protons and neutrons having roughly equal mass.

However, this has now been replaced by a more professional exhibition space incorporating laser, video, slide shows, audio commentaries, and some interactive elements.

Using this distance and other photographs, more information about the object, including its orbital elements, can be obtained .< ref >

An alloy is a mixture or metallic solid solution composed of two or more elements.

Some contended an absolute minimum temperature occurred within earth ( as one of the four so-called " elements "), others within water, others air, and some more recently within nitre.

Alcaeus himself seems to underscore the difference between his own ' down-to-earth ' style and Sappho's more ' celestial ' qualities when he describes her almost as a goddess ( as cited above ), and yet it has been argued that both poets were concerned with a balance between the divine and the profane, each emphasising different elements in that balance.

Allotropy or allotropism is the property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms, known as allotropes of these elements.

In mathematics, an associative algebra A is an associative ring that has a compatible structure of a vector space over a certain field K or, more generally, of a module over a commutative ring R. Thus A is endowed with binary operations of addition and multiplication satisfying a number of axioms, including associativity of multiplication and distributivity, as well as compatible multiplication by the elements of the field K or the ring R.

In comparison with the lanthanides, also mostly f-block elements, the actinides show much more variable valence.

In addition to carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, alkaloids may also contain oxygen, sulfur and more rarely other elements such as chlorine, bromine, and phosphorus.

* Chemical affinity, the willingness of two or more elements or compounds to form a chemical or attractive bond of some type
