After that needful but confined step, next in clearness's third grade ( the pragmatic, practice-oriented grade ) he defines truth — not as actual consensus, such that to inquire would be to poll the experts — but as that which would be reached, sooner or later but still inevitably, by research taken far enough, such that the real does depend on that ideal final opinion — a dependence to which he appeals in theoretical arguments elsewhere, for instance for the long-run validity of the rule of induction.

Jean-Pierre Léaud, then in the eighth grade at a private school in Pontigny, was far from an ideal student.

Quartz is ideal because it transmits from 200 nm-2500 nm ; higher grade quartz can even transmit up to 3500 nm, whereas the absorption properties of other materials can mask the fluorescence from the sample.

In short, the fictional private eye is a specialized version of Adam Smith's ideal entrepreneur, the man whose private ambitions must always and everywhere promote the public welfare.

But the most fundamental objection he has to poets appears in the Tenth Book, and it is derived from his doctrine of ideal forms.

In Plato's mind there is an irresolvable conflict between the poet and the philosopher, because the poet imitates only particular objects and is incapable of rising to the first level of abstraction, much less the highest level of ideal forms.

It is appropriate to call attention to certain thermodynamic properties of an ideal gas that are analogous to rubber-like deformation.

The internal energy of an ideal gas depends on temperature only and is independent of pressure or volume.

In other words, if an ideal gas is compressed and kept at constant temperature, the work done in compressing it is completely converted into heat and transferred to the surrounding heat sink.

An ideal I of A is called prime if I ≠ A and if a ∧ b in I always implies a in I or b in I.

An ideal I of A is called maximal if I ≠ A and if the only ideal properly containing I is A itself.

Since a maximal ideal in A is closed, is a Banach algebra that is a field, and it follows from the Gelfand-Mazur theorem that there is a bijection between the set of all maximal ideals of A and the set Δ ( A ) of all nonzero homomorphisms from A to C. The set Δ ( A ) is called the " structure space " or " character space " of A, and its members " characters.

Due to this network of fibres and high concentrations of dissolved macromolecules, such as proteins, an effect called macromolecular crowding occurs and the cytosol does not act as an ideal solution.

This gap between the real self and the ideal self, the " I am " and the " I should " is called incongruity.

In modern mathematical language, the ideal generated by a and b is the ideal generated by g alone ( an ideal generated by a single element is called a principal ideal, and all ideals of the integers are principal ideals ).

In contrast, ideal fluids can only be subjected to normal, compressive stress which is called pressure.

Maurras promoted what he called integral nationalism, that called for organic unity of a nation, Maurras insisted that a powerful monarch was an ideal leader of a nation.

Once the Metastasian ideal had been firmly established, comedy in Baroque-era opera was reserved for what came to be called opera buffa.

The support of overscan, interlacing and genlocking capabilities, and the fact that the display timing was very close to broadcast standards ( NTSC or PAL ), made the Amiga the first ideal computer for video purposes, and indeed, it was used in many studios for digitizing video data ( sometimes called frame-grabbing ), subtitling and interactive video news.

The earliest was the bow ard, which consists of a draft-pole ( or beam ) pierced by a thinner vertical pointed stick called the head ( or body ), with one end being the stilt ( handle ) and the other a share ( cutting blade ) that was dragged through the topsoil to cut a shallow furrow ideal for most cereal crops.
