Thus, the law of " interpenetrating opposites " records the inextricable interdependence of components: the " transformation of quantity to quality " defends a systems-based view of change that translates incremental inputs into alterations of state ; and the " negation of negation " describes the direction given to history because complex systems cannot revert exactly to previous states.

One of the most well-known equations describes Pythagoras ' law relating the length of the sides of a right angle triangle:

In a more general form, the first law describes the internal energy with additional terms involving the chemical potential and the number of particles of various types.

A consequence of this behavior is Pascal's law which describes the role of pressure in characterizing a fluid's state.

The historian Ibn Khaldun describes fiqh as " knowledge of the rules of God which concern the actions of persons who own themselves bound to obey the law respecting what is required ( wajib ), sinful ( haraam ), recommended ( mandūb ), disapproved ( makrūh ) or neutral ( mubah )".

Ginzberg ’ s initiative to base halakhic decisions on law committees and not laymen is the method the Conservative movement describes as its present one till today.

Gauss's law describes the relationship between an electric field and the electric charges that cause it: The electric field points away from positive charges and towards negative charges.

Faraday's law describes how a time varying magnetic field creates (" induces ") an electric field.

Many diffuse reflectors are described or can be approximated by Lambert's cosine law, which describes surfaces that have equal luminance when viewed from any angle.

Robert Boyle ( 1627-1691 ): formulated Boyle's law, which describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas ( if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system ), wrote The Sceptical Chymist ( seen as cornerstone book in the field of chemistry ), regarded as the first modern chemist, one of the founders of modern chemistry

The Schrödinger equation describes how wavefunctions change in time, playing a role similar to Newton's second law in classical mechanics.

The amount of this deviation is known as its gamma value (), the argument for a power law function, which closely describes this behaviour.

In arbitration law, separability describes the principle that an arbitration clause is considered separate from the contract in which it is contained.

* Whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable state law,

Newton's second law describes the transfer of energy for impulse turbines.

Rushton argues that East Asians and their descendants average a larger brain size, greater intelligence, more sexual restraint, slower rates of maturation, and greater law abidingness and social organization than do Europeans and their descendants, who average higher scores on these dimensions than Africans and their descendants.

Interpretation, according to Dworkin's law as integrity theory, has two dimensions.

Inglehart's two-factor solution took the form of Ferguson's original Religionism and Humanitarianism dimensions ; Inglehart labelled them " secularism – traditionalism ", which covered issues of tradition and religion, like patriotism, abortion, euthanasia and the importance of obeying the law and authority figures, and " survivalism – self expression ", which measured issues like everyday conduct and dress, acceptance of diversity ( including foreigners ) and innovation, and attitudes towards people with specific controversial lifestyles such as homosexuality and vegetarianism, as well as willingness to partake in political activism.

Interpretation, according to Dworkin's law as integrity theory, has two dimensions.

The law is particularly important in diagnostic radiography and radiotherapy treatment planning, though this proportionality does not hold in practical situations unless source dimensions are much smaller than the distance.

* It applies only to movement in a single dimension and not to movement in two dimensions ( though it is successfully extended to two dimensions in the Accot-Zhai steering law );

* The inverse square law of universal gravitation necessarily follows from the conservation of energy and of space having three dimensions.

Spherical harmonics were first investigated in connection with the Newtonian potential of Newton's law of universal gravitation in three dimensions.

One is deformation theory ( see e. g. Hooke's law ) where the stress tensor ( of order d in d dimensions ) is a function of the strain tensor.

Although the general proportionality constant between stress and strain in three dimensions is a 4th order tensor, systems that exhibit symmetry, such as a one-dimensional rod, can often be reduced to applications of Hooke's law.

Several law review articles and more than a dozen books and commentary pieces have also mentioned the perplexing ethical dimensions of the case.

Waverley Council's beach inspectors, including the legendary Aub Laidlaw, were responsible for enforcing the law and were required to measure the dimensions of swimwear and order offenders against public decency off the beach.

Maritime controversies involve two dimensions: ( a ) territorial sovereignty, which are a legacy of history ; and ( b ) relevant jurisdictional rights and interests in maritime boundaries, which are mainly due to differing interpretations of the law of the sea.

Relatively recent changes in technology and copyright law have dramatically expanded the impact of copyright in five different dimensions:

However, the combined effects of the changes in these five dimensions has been to restrict rather than promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, in apparent violation of the constitutional justification for copyright law.

Chapter 10 examines the relatively recent changes in technology and copyright law have dramatically expanded the impact of copyright in five different dimensions: Duration, Scope, Reach, Control, Concentration.

The project reports aggregate and individual indicators for more than 200 countries for six dimensions of governance: voice and accountability, political stability and lack of violence, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, control of corruption.

Our exceptional programs in business and law provide education and training in the legal dimensions of contemporary business.

He is a wealth of learning, an expert jurisprudent who has risen to judicial statesmanship, an Indian Sir William Wade, a ' thorough and scholarly ' penman – truly distinguished in many dimensions of law, Thakker is a thinker who ' touched none which he did not adorn '.

Oxygen consumption in species that differ in body size and organ system dimensions show a similarity in their charted V < sub > O </ sub >< sub > 2 </ sub > distributions indicating that despite the complexity in their systems, there is a power law dependence of similarity ; therefore, universal patterns are observed in diverse animal taxonomy.

Many astronomers though, believe the omniverse is infinite, and do so with this theory: if the omniverse was finite, then there would be no law for the dimensions, and through that causes major problems.

This vector can be used in conjunction with Darcy's law and a tensor of hydraulic conductivity to determine the flux of water in three dimensions.
