With de Broglie's suggestion of the existence of electron matter waves in 1924, and for a short time before the full 1926 Schrödinger equation treatment of hydrogen like atom, a Bohr electron " wavelength " could be seen to be a function of its momentum, and thus a Bohr orbiting electron was seen to orbit in a circle at a multiple of its half-wavelength ( this historically incorrect Bohr model is still occasionally taught to students ).

It is uncertain what the actual role and function of Abraxas was in the Basilidian system, as our authorities often show no direct acquaintance with the doctrines of Basilides himself.

Altogether, the boule was responsible for a great portion of the administration of the state, but was granted relatively little latitude for initiative ; the boule's control over policy was executed in its probouleutic, rather than its executive function ; in the former, it prepared measures for deliberation by the assembly, in the latter, it merely executed the wishes of the assembly.

The original song Advance Australia Fair was composed by Peter Dodds McCormick under the pen-name ' Amicus ' ( which means ' friend ' in Latin ), in the late 19th century, and first performed by Andrew Fairfax at a Highland Society function in Sydney on 30 November 1878.

Applications could not directly address video memory in this mode without modification, so it was incompatible with most games, although there is no inherent reason why a game could not be written to function in shadow mode.

Later, after encountering Soviet tanks, it was refitted with a high-velocity anti-tank gun, enabling it to function as a tank destroyer.

In retrospect the name change was unfortunate, not only because the Greek roots alone do not reveal the anode's function any more, but more importantly because, as we now know, the Earth's magnetic field direction on which the " anode " term is based is subject to reversals whereas the current direction convention on which the " eisode " term was based has no reason to change in the future.

Sometimes it was necessary to re-think the structure of the problem so that the computer would function satisfactorily.

In On the Infinite, David Hilbert hypothesized that the Ackermann function was not primitive recursive, but it was Ackermann, Hilbert ’ s personal secretary and former student, who actually proved the hypothesis in his paper On Hilbert ’ s Construction of the Real Numbers.

The DCB6 tooltip motif, initially described by Merkle and Freitas at a Foresight Conference in 2002, was the first complete tooltip ever proposed for diamond mechanosynthesis and remains the only tooltip motif that has been successfully simulated for its intended function on a full 200-atom diamond surface.

Like Wang systems, MultiMate controlled most editing operations with function keys, assigning four functions to each of the 10 function keys, which IBM initially located at the left side of the keyboard in two vertical rows.

Schrödinger himself initially did not understand the fundamental probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, as he thought that the absolute square of the wave function of an electron should be interpreted as the charge density of an object smeared out over an extended, possibly infinite, volume of space.

We can indeed enumerate algorithms to construct a function T, about which we initially assume that it is a function from the natural numbers onto the reals.

Neural Darwinism, a large scale theory of brain function by Gerald Edelman, was initially published in 1978, in a book called The Mindful Brain ( MIT Press ).

Other all-pole second-order filters may roll off at different rates initially depending on their Q factor, but approach the same final rate of 12 dB per octave ; as with the first-order filters, zeroes in the transfer function can change the high-frequency asymptote.

So initially the whole function just gets rescaled, and it maintains the property that its time derivative is proportional to itself, so for all times t,

In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse ( also called collapse of the state vector or reduction of the wave packet ) is the phenomenon in which a wave function — initially in a superposition of several different possible eigenstates — appears to reduce to a single one of those states after interaction with an observer.

Analytic continuation often succeeds in defining further values of a function, for example in a new region where an infinite series representation in terms of which it is initially defined becomes divergent.

Arguing that the revolution needed not a mere parliamentary organization but a party of action which would function as a scientific body of direction, a vanguard of activists, and a central control organ, the Tenth Party Congress banned factions within the party, initially intending it only to be a temporary measure after the shock of the Kronstadt Rebellion.

Blauert ( 1974 ; cited in Blauert, 1981 ) initially defined the transfer function as the free-field transfer function ( FFTF ).

In the development of European music, the function of composing music initially did not have much greater importance than that of performing it.

Several function classes have been proposed, and it soon became obvious that trapdoor functions are harder to find than was initially thought.

Also initially, some of these groups, like the Boston-area Havurat Shalom attempted to function as full-fledged communes after the model of their secular counterparts.

Although initially Cali was the capital of Popayán's Gobernación, in 1540 Belalcázar moved this function to Popayán due to " better " weather.

The DCB6Ge tooltip motif, initially described at a Foresight Conference in 2002, was the first complete tooltip ever proposed for diamond mechanosynthesis and remains the only tooltip motif that has been successfully simulated for its intended function on a full 200-atom diamond surface.

In the former case, the " steep " metaphor is inspired by the initially high rate of increase featured by the function characterizing the overall amount learned versus total resources invested ( or versus time when resource investment per unit time is held constant )— in mathematical terms, the initially high positive absolute value of the first derivative of that function.

The most prominent symptoms include tremors ( initially affecting the hands and sometimes spreading to other parts of the body ), emotional lability ( characterized by irritability, excessive shyness, confidence loss, and nervousness ), insomnia, memory loss, neuromuscular changes ( weakness, muscle atrophy, muscle twitching ), headaches, polyneuropathy ( paresthesia, stocking-glove sensory loss, hyperactive tendon reflexes, slowed sensory and motor nerve conduction velocities ), and performance deficits in tests of cognitive function.

The Hahn – Banach theorem states that if is a sublinear function, and is a linear functional on a linear subspace U ⊆ V which is dominated by on U,

Bernoulli's principle, which is a function of the velocity of the fluid, is a dominant effect for large openings and large flow rates, but since fluid flow at small scales and low speeds ( low Reynolds number ) is dominated by viscosity, Bernoulli's principle is ineffective at idle or slow running and in the very small carburetors of the smallest model engines.

Over the years, three main ideas of hippocampal function have dominated the literature: inhibition, memory, and space.

Such studies have found that quasars do not exist in high enough numbers to reionize the IGM alone, saying that " only if the ionizing background is dominated by low-luminosity AGNs can the quasar luminosity function provide enough ionizing photons.

If a large number of proteins bind to sites in a small volume such that there the fluorescence signal is dominated by the signal from bound proteins, and if this binding is all in a single state with an off rate k < sub > off </ sub >, then the fluorescence as a function of time is given by

A unirational variety V over a field K is one dominated by a rational variety, so that its function field K ( V ) lies in a pure transcendental field of finite type ( which can be chosen to be of finite degree over K ( V ) if K is infinite ).

Except for the WFEA ( which was dominated by the NEA ), most ceased to function during World War II.

At the outset of the Augustan age, essays were still primarily imitative, novels were few and still dominated by the Romance, and prose was a rarely used format for satire, but, by the end of the period, the English essay was a fully formed periodical feature, novels surpassed drama as entertainment and as an outlet for serious authors, and prose was serving every conceivable function in public discourse.
