Skeat “… in at least three cases and probably in all, in the form of codices " and he theorized that this form of notebook was invented in Rome and then “… must have spread rapidly to the Near East …” In his discussion of one of the earliest pagan parchment codices to survive from Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, Eric Turner seems to challenge Skeat ’ s notion when stating “… its mere existence is evidence that this book form had a prehistory ” and that “ early experiments with this book form may well have taken place outside of Egypt .” Early codices of parchment or papyrus appear to have been widely used as personal notebooks, for instance in recording copies of letters sent ( Cicero Fam.

In the 1950s, he recorded two solid albums with Sonny Rollins — Way Out West ( Contemporary, 1957 ) received particular acclaim and helped dispel the notion that West Coast jazz was always different from jazz made on the East Coast — and, in the 1960s, two with Bill Evans.

The East Coast, New York-Cleveland axis was often appalled by the notion of Gestalt therapy leaving the consulting room and becoming a way-of-life on the West Coast in the 1960s ( see the " Gestalt prayer ").

In 1999, he wrote a book entitled Open Australia, which explored how information technology could be used to enhance social justice and economic equality ; and he also wrote a number of articles on targeted, " micro " ways of addressing globalisation and the decline of large-scale manufacturing, in which he suggested there was little substance to the notion put forward by neoclassical economists of a " simulated free market " in East Asian economies that explains their " emergence " ( see 1997 Asian Financial Crisis ).

Given a set S of matrices, each of which is diagonalizable, and any two of which commute, it is always possible to simultaneously diagonalize all of the elements of S. Equivalently, for any set S of mutually commuting semisimple linear transformations of a finite-dimensional vector space V there exists a basis of V consisting of simultaneous eigenvectors of all elements of S. Each of these common eigenvectors v ∈ V, defines a linear functional on the subalgebra U of End ( V ) generated by the set of endomorphisms S ; this functional is defined as the map which associates to each element of U its eigenvalue on the eigenvector v. This " generalized eigenvalue " is a prototype for the notion of a weight.

Michael McCollum's first novel, A Greater Infinity, was inspired by Piper's notion of the Paratime Police ( and to a lesser extent by Isaac Asimov's The End of Eternity ).

Plotinus seems to be one of the first to argue against the still popular notion of causal astrology.

This is close to the notion of " tit for tat " introduced by Anatol Rapoport, although there still seems a slight distinction in that " tit for tat " cooperates in the first period and from thereon always replicates an opponent ’ s previous action, whereas “ reciprocal altruists ” stop cooperation in the first instance of non-cooperation by an opponent and stay non-cooperative from thereon.

While this precise terminology —" by faith alone "— does not appear in English Bible translations other than in where it has been claimed that the author seems to reject the notion that a person is justified by God solely on account of faith, other Catholic authorities also used " alone " in their translation of Romans 3: 28 or exegesis of salvation by faith passages, and it is claimed to summarize the teaching of the New Testament, and especially the Pauline epistles such as, which systematically reject the proposition that justification before God is obtained due to the merit of one's obedience to the Law of Moses ( see also Biblical law in Christianity ), or Abraham's circumcision and works.
