Pliny the Elder recounts a fanciful derivation for the tribal name from the Greek ὄμβρος " a shower ", which had led to the confused idea that they had survived the Deluge familiar from Greek mythology, giving them the claim to be the most ancient race in Italy.

Pliny claims that this gave Eratosthenes the idea about how to calculate the circumference of the Earth ( N. H. 2. 183, 6. 168 ).

The phrase " Hall of Records " originated with Edgar Cayce although the idea of the existence of lost Egyptian records is much older, and the belief in cavities around the sphinx dates back to Pliny the Elder.

In 1926, Erwin Schrödinger used this idea to develop a mathematical model of the atom that described the electrons as three-dimensional waveforms rather than point particles.

This idea has been considered in detail back in time to extreme densities and temperatures, and large particle accelerators have been built to experiment in such conditions, resulting in further development of the model.

Critics, such as psychiatrist Niall McLaren, argue that the DSM lacks validity because it has no relation to an agreed scientific model of mental disorder and therefore the decisions taken about its categories ( or even the question of categories versus dimensions ) were not scientific ones ; and that it lacks reliability partly because different diagnoses share many criteria, and what appear to be different criteria are often just rewordings of the same idea, meaning that the decision to allocate one diagnosis or another to a patient is to some extent a matter of personal prejudice.

Although several versions of many-worlds have been proposed since Hugh Everett's original work, they all contain one key idea: the equations of physics that model the time evolution of systems without embedded observers are sufficient for modelling systems which do contain observers ; in particular there is no observation-triggered wave function collapse which the Copenhagen interpretation proposes.

Watson and Crick talked endlessly about DNA and the idea that it might be possible to guess a good molecular model of its structure.

In The Sensory Order: An Inquiry into the Foundations of Theoretical Psychology ( 1952 ), Hayek independently developed a " Hebbian learning " model of learning and memoryan idea which he first conceived in 1920, prior to his study of economics.

The idea of freedom ( for the theatre against the dominance of its French model ; for religion from the church's dogma ) is his central theme throughout his life.

The Georgi – Glashow model was preceded by the Semisimple Lie algebra Pati – Salam model by Abdus Salam and Jogesh Pati, who pioneered the idea to unify gauge interactions.

However, the model of iron in Hb-O < sub > 2 </ sub > being Fe ( III ) is more correct than the classical idea that it remains Fe ( II ).

The model proposes the idea of erythroid, T and B cells as specialized types of a prototypic myeloid HSC.

New dates from India suggest that iron was being worked there as early as 1800 BC, and African sites are turning up dates as early as 1200 BC, confounding the idea that there was a simple discovery and diffusion model.

* Mental model, a person's cognitive representation of an idea or thought process

* The interpretation of tough-mindedness as a manifestation of " authoritarian " versus tender-minded " democratic " values was incompatible with the Frankfurt school's single-axis model, which conceptualized authoritarianism as being a fundamental manifestation of conservatism, and many researchers took issue with the idea of " left-wing authoritarianism.

Some view this development as a rising new idea in the industry of reruns as an increasingly major revenue source in themselves instead of the standard business model as a draw for audiences for advertising.

The “ gang suppression model ” is believed by some to be the basis for increased policing, the theory being based on the idea that Latinos are violent and out of control and are therefore “ in need of suppression ”.

Richard H. Jones has recently proposed a " control " model that incorporates elements of both the conflict thesis and also the idea that religion can support science.

For example, one such idea is to have small, community-owned enterprises working under a market-based model of economy.

In May 2003 the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi inaugurated the MOSE project ( Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico ), an experimental model for evaluating the performance of hollow floatable gates ; the idea is to fix a series of 78 hollow pontoons to the sea bed across the three entrances to the lagoon.

This is the central idea behind Big Design Up Front and the waterfall model: time spent early on making sure requirements and design are correct saves much time and effort later.

Advocates of Agile software development argue the waterfall model is a bad idea in practice — believing it impossible for any non-trivial project to finish a phase of a software product's lifecycle perfectly before moving to the next phases and learning from them.

The idea behind the waterfall model may be " measure twice ; cut once ," and those opposed to the waterfall model argue that this idea tends to fall apart when the problem constantly changes due to requirement modifications and new realizations about the problem itself.

The general acceptance of the idea of governmental ( i.e., societal ) responsibility for the economic well-being of the American people is surely one of the two most significant watersheds in American constitutional history.

The dweller at p is last to hear about a new cure, the slowest to announce to his neighbors his urgent distresses, the one who goes the farthest to trade, and the one with the greatest difficulty of all in putting over an idea or getting people to join him in a cooperative effort.

And it is clearly argued by Lord Percy of Newcastle, in his remarkable long essay, The Heresy Of Democracy, and in a more general way by Voegelin, in his New Science Of Politics, that this same Rousseauan idea, descending through European democracy, is the source of Marx's theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat.

As a Humanist, Dr. Huxley interests himself in the possibilities of human development, and one thing we can say about this suggestion, which comes from a leading zoologist, is that, so far as he is concerned, the scientific outlook places no rigid limitation upon the idea of future human evolution.

The idea here is one of discharge but this must stand in opposition to a second view, Plato's notion of the arousal of emotion.

A third idea is that artistic literature serves to reduce emotional conflicts, giving a sense of serenity and calm to individuals.

It is possible that the idea of enrichment of emotion is a fifth idea.

It is true that this distinction between style and idea often approaches the arbitrary since in the end we must admit that style and content frequently influence or interpenetrate one another and sometimes appear as expressions of the same insight.

At this point a working definition of idea is in order, although our first definition will have to be qualified somewhat as we proceed.

Outstanding among these is the idea of human nature itself, including the many definitions that have been advanced over the centuries ; ;

An idea, of the sort that we have in mind, although of necessity readily available to imagination, is more general in connotation than most poetic or literary images, especially those appearing in lyric poems that seek to capture a moment of personal experience.

Finally we may note that the idea appears in educational theory where its influence is at present widespread.

namely, is the idea that there were Saxon mercenaries in England at all reasonable??

And to do this requires first of all the kind of information about people which is provided by the scientists in industrial anthropology and consumer research, who, for example, tell Courtenay that three days is the `` optimum priming period for a closed social circuit to be triggered with a catalytic cue-phrase '' -- which means that an effective propaganda technique is to send an idea into circulation and then three days later reinforce or undermine it.

He mentions the beats only once '', when he refers to their having revived through mere power and abandonment and the unwillingness to, commit death in life some idea of a decent equivalent between verbal expression and actual experience,, but the entire narrative, is written in the tiresome vocabulary `` of '' that lost `` and '' dying cause, `` and in the '' `` sprung syntax that is supposed to supplant, our mother, tongue.

The trouble is that at first glance the idea looks like such a good one.

Although Mr. Brown was not himself its inventor ( it was a French idea ), it is typical that his intuition first conceived the importance of mass producing this basic tool for general use.
