J. W. Burrow proposed that Freeman, like William Stubbs and John Richard Green, was an historical scholar with little or no experience of public affairs, with views of the present which were Romantically historicised and who was drawn to history by what was in a broad sense an antiquarian passion for the past, as well as a patriotic and populist impulse to identify the nation and its institutions as the collective subject of English history, making

The first impulse to attack the new doctrine came from Geneva, seat of historical Calvinism.

The Russian experimenters claim that only a small fraction of the impulse from the sensors is caused by the incident momentum with the remainder being momentum of ejected material from the sensor.

The HX thruster is limited by the heat exchanger material and by radiative losses to relatively low gas temperatures, typically 1000-2000 C, but with hydrogen propellant, that provides sufficient specific impulse ( 600 – 800 seconds ) to allow single stage vehicles to reach low Earth orbit.

" the realization that the cultural values of art and literature were being turned by capitalism into what I can only describe as spiritual onanism and the discovery that communism, by solving the material problems of society, was the only path to a future creative renaissance, was the first impulse.

Energetic material pyrotechnic compositions, especially solid rocket propellants and smokeless powders for guns, often employ plasticizers to improve physical properties of the propellant binder or of the overall propellant, to provide a secondary fuel, and ideally, to improve specific energy yield ( e. g. specific impulse, energy yield per gram of propellant, or similar indices ) of the propellant.

Two different breakdown voltage measurements of a material are the AC and impulse breakdown voltages.

Although letting the Countess escape is morally questionable, that impulse to take the law into his own hands was far from unique.

With sinus node dysfunction ( sometimes called sick sinus syndrome ), there may be disordered automaticity or impaired conduction of the impulse from the sinus node into the surrounding atrial tissue ( an " exit block ").

* Electrochemistry, the direct transformation of chemical energy into electricity, as in a battery, fuel cell or nerve impulse

He seems to have abstained for a considerable time from the study of the classics and to have plunged deeply into that of the Bible, under the impulse of Apollinaris of Laodicea, then teaching in Antioch and not yet suspected of heresy.

At the nerve ending in the neuromuscular junction, where the impulse is transferred to the muscle cell, the nerve impulse leads to the transfer of vesicles with the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to " active zones " in the presynaptic membrane, where it is released into the synaptic cleft and stimulates the acetylcholine receptor on the muscle.

An impulse turbine has fixed nozzles that orient the steam flow into high speed jets.

Water turbines are divided into two groups ; reaction turbines and impulse turbines.

Although the specific impulse of an electric thruster itself optionally could range up to where mass drivers merge into particle accelerators with fractional-lightspeed exhaust velocity for tiny particles, trying to use extreme exhaust velocity to accelerate a far slower spacecraft could be suboptimally low thrust when the energy available from a spacecraft's reactor or power source is limited ( a lesser analogue of feeding onboard power to a row of spotlights, photons being an example of an extremely low momentum to energy ratio ).

* Design systems such that the impulse response is short enough that very little energy from one symbol smears into the next symbol.

Real filters for real-time applications approximate the ideal filter by truncating and windowing the infinite impulse response to make a finite impulse response ; applying that filter requires delaying the signal for a moderate period of time, allowing the computation to " see " a little bit into the future.

" Although artists begin the creative process by separating from their fellow human beings and liberating themselves from conforming to the past, escaping from the anxiety of influence, eventually the creative impulse merges into a desire for a return to " a greater whole ," to " the ALL " ( Rank, 1929 – 31, p. 155 ) -- in human terms, to the " collective " that alone has the power to immortalize the artist with the approval it grants the artwork:

Even with such a motivation, it would be difficult to get Manion cleared of murder, so Biegler pushes him into a position where he claims to have no memory of the event, thus giving them a chance of winning his freedom with a defense of irresistible impulse — a version of a temporary insanity defense.

He was especially fascinated, it seems, by the, " impulse to sociability in man ," which he described as " associations ... which the solitariness of the individuals is resolved into togetherness, a union with others ," a process he describes by which, " the impulse to sociability distils, as it were, out of the realities of social life the pure essence of association ," and " through which a unity is made ," which he also refers to as, " the free-playing, interacting interdependence of individuals.

A development is the use of an impulse fire-extinguishing system ( IFEX ), in which the water is highly pressurized into a vaporous mist, creating a cooling effect that is more efficient than that of water alone.

Griffith commented, " He didn't point me to cartooning, but he pointed me into art in general and showed me a way of understanding how within one artist, there could exist this pop culture impulse and a fine art impulse.

Nearly ten years later, when Zen and the Birds of Appetite was published, Merton wrote in his postface that “ any attempt to handle Zen in theological language is bound to miss the point ”, calling his final statements “ an example of how not to approach Zen .” Merton struggled to reconcile the Western and Christian impulse to catalog and put into words every experience with the ideas of Christian apophatic theology and the unspeakable nature of the Zen experience.

Digital filters are classified into one of two basic forms, according to how they respond to a unit impulse:

In complex societies, this tribalistic impulse can also be channelled into more frivolous avenues, manifesting itself in sports rivalries and other such " fan " affiliations.

In 1992, the PVV was reformed into the Vlaamse Liberalen en Democraten or VLD under the impulse of Verhofstadt.

Corrective waves subdivide into 3 smaller-degree waves starting with a five-wave counter-trend impulse, a retrace, and another impulse.

The literary impulse of the Renaissance was almost spent ; scholarship had become dry and trivial.

Mark Schorer, an American writer and literary critic, considers a familiar construction in D. H. Lawrence's works the forbidden love of a woman of relatively superior social situation who is drawn to an " outsider " ( a man of lower social rank or a foreigner ), in which the woman either resists her impulse or yields to it.

Rhoda Broughton never married, and some critics assume that a disappointed attachment was the impulse that made her try her pen instead of some other literary work like that of Mrs. Thackeray Ritchie.

From early youth, Grillparzer displayed a strong literary impulse.

Wole Soyinka praised its realism, writing " Idealization is a travesty of literary truth ; worse still, it betrays only immature hankerings of the creative impulse.

Finch's works often express a desire for respect as a female poet, lamenting her difficult position as a woman in the literary establishment and the court, while writing of an intense artistic impulse to write despite the difficulties.

The same impulse manifested itself in the translation of medieval national epics into modern vernacular languages, including Nibelungenlied ( 1782 ) in Germany, The Lay of the Cid ( 1799 ) in Spain, Beowulf ( 1833 ) in England, The Song of Roland ( 1837 ) in France, which were widely read and highly influential on subsequent literary and artistic work.

If a system in question has an impulse response of

In turn, Clark Kent has a slightly dark side with which he comes to grips over time, made even worse by his experiences with red kryptonite, which causes him to lose his morals and act solely on impulse while under its influence.

If the pendulum has been at rest and we were to strike it with a hammer ( the " impulse "), setting it in motion, it would swing back and forth (" resonate "), say, with an amplitude of 10 cm.

For instance, suppose one has a filter which, when presented with an impulse in a time series:

will output a series which responds to that impulse at time 0 until time 4, and has no further response, such as:

Although the impulse response has lasted 4 time steps after the input, starting at time 5 it has truly gone to zero.

Another advantage of FIR filters is that their impulse response can be made symmetric, which implies a response in the frequency domain which has zero phase at all frequencies ( not considering a finite delay ), which is absolutely impossible with any IIR filter.

Hydrogen has also been proposed for use in these engines and would provide much greater specific impulse ( thrust per kilogram of reaction mass ), but it has been claimed that water will beat hydrogen in cost / performance terms despite its much lower specific impulse by orders of magnitude.

However, at x = 0, the mass has momentum because of the impulse that the restoring force has imparted.

* Hydrogen has nearly 30 % higher specific impulse ( about 450 seconds vs. 350 seconds ) than most dense fuels.

Adorno ’ s 1949 dictum —" To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric "— posed the question of what German culture could mean after Auschwitz ; his own continual revision of this dictum — in Negative Dialectics, for example, he wrote that " Perennial suffering has as much right to expression as a tortured man has to scream "; while in “ Commitment ,” he wrote in 1962 that the dictum " expresses in negative form the impulse which inspires committed literature "— was part of post-war Germany ’ s struggle with history and culture.

He argues that it is possible to distinguish the moral impulse of utilitarianism, which is “ to define the right as good consequences and to motivate people to achieve these ” from our ability to correctly apply rational principles which will among other things “ depend on the perceived facts of the case and on the particular moral actor ’ s mental equipment .” The fact that the latter is limited and can change doesn ’ t mean that the former has to be rejected.

LMP-103S has 6 % higher specific impulse and 30 % higher impulse density than hydrazine monopropellant which is highly toxic, in fact carcinogenic.

The M2P2 system therefore has an effective specific impulse which is the amount of gas consumed per newton of thrust.

The specific impulse of a photonic rocket is harder to define, since the output has no ( rest ) mass and is not expended fuel ; if we take the momentum per inertia of the photons, the specific impulse is just c, which is impressive.

If the " amount " of propellant is given in terms of mass ( such as kilograms ), then specific impulse has units of velocity.
