Conventional images of Jews have this in common with all perceptions of a configuration in which one feature is held constant: images can be both true and false.

The day passed eventfully enough, with a constant stream of visitors, some stopping only to say hello, others getting into serious conversations, such as one Andre Fuchs, a free-lance journalist from Strasbourg who wrote an article for the Nouvelle Alsatian in highly sympathetic terms.

If one takes the middle number, 5, and multiplies it by 3 ( the base number of the magic square of three ), the result is 15, which is also the constant sum of all the rows, columns, and two main diagonals.

This force is used in the formal definition of the ampere, which states that it is " the constant current that will produce an attractive force of 2 × 10 < sup >– 7 </ sup > newton per metre of length between two straight, parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible circular cross section placed one metre apart in a vacuum ".

The astronomical constant whose value is one astronomical unit is referred to as unit distance and is given the symbol A.

The machine could be fed two linear equations with up to twenty-nine variables and a constant term and eliminate one of the variables.

This means that in most real-world setups where machines are added a few at a time, only one or two tries are needed before the address effectively become constant.

When analyzing the efficiency of algorithms that use stacks, one may also specify that all operations take the same time no matter how many items have been pushed into the stack, and that the stack uses a constant amount of storage for each element.

M. von Rohr showed that for systems fulfilling neither the Airy nor the Bow-Sutton condition, the ratio a ' cos w '/ a tan w will be constant for one distance of the object.

* Conservation of Energy: Although energy can be converted from one form to another, the total energy in a given closed system remains constant.

Detailed analysis shows that the complexity class is unchanged by allowing error as high as 1 / 2 − n < sup >− c </ sup > on the one hand, or requiring error as small as 2 < sup >− n < sup > c </ sup ></ sup > on the other hand, where c is any positive constant, and n is the length of input.

A Btu is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one of liquid water by at a constant pressure of one atmosphere.

However, constant attacks by Bedouin partisans required each party to be escorted by heavily armed guards ; hence, up to a third of the fleet's sailors were away from their ships at any one time.

Because many outstanding problems in number theory, such as Goldbach's conjecture are equivalent to solving the halting problem for special programs ( which would basically search for counter-examples and halt if one is found ), knowing enough bits of Chaitin's constant would also imply knowing the answer to these problems.

For each specific consistent effectively represented axiomatic system for the natural numbers, such as Peano arithmetic, there exists a constant N such that no bit of Ω after the Nth can be proven to be one or zero within that system.

More than one time constant is needed when describing reactions of higher order.

The Chinese had a somewhat different series of elements, namely Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood, which were understood as different types of energy in a state of constant interaction and flux with one another, rather than the Western notion of different kinds of material.

If the resulting linear differential equations have constant coefficients one can take their Laplace transform to obtain a transfer function.

* Constant surface speed, a mode of machine tool operation in which angular velocity ( rpm ) is varied in order to achieve a constant tangential velocity at the tool-material interface — one of the many aspects of speeds and feeds

When the rate of rotation is made constant in the analysis of nonuniform circular motion, that analysis agrees with this one.

If we look for solutions that have the form, where C is a constant, we discover the relationship, and thus must be one of the complex numbers or.

( To be precise: for the definition of the dipole moment one should always consider the " dipole limit ", where e. g. the distance of the generating charges should converge to 0, while simultaneously the charge strength should diverge to infinity in such a way that the product remains a positive constant.

The characterization of an ellipse as the locus of points so that sum of the distances to the foci is constant leads to a method of drawing one using two drawing pins, a length of string, and a pencil.

Hence, if we know these values for any one state the constant can be calculated.

I worked for my Uncle ( an Uncle by marriage so you will not think this has a mild undercurrent of incest ) who ran one of those antique shops in New Orleans' Vieux Carre, the old French Quarter.

But in our case -- and neither my wife nor I have extreme views on integration, nor are we given to emotional outbursts -- the situation has ruined one or two valued friendships and come close to wrecking several more.

In what has aptly been called a `` constitutional revolution '', the basic nature of government was transformed from one essentially negative in nature ( the `` night-watchman state '' ) to one with affirmative duties to perform.

Historically, however, the concept is one that has been of marked benefit to the people of the Western civilizational group.

But it is more than irony: one of the main reasons why nationalism is no longer a tenable concept is because it has spread throughout the planet.

`` Now that Bruno Walter is virtually in retirement and my dear friend Dimitri Mitropoulos is no longer with us, I am probably the only one -- with the possible exception of Leonard Bernstein -- who has this special affinity for and champions the works of Bruckner and Mahler ''.

Madison once remarked: `` My life has been so much a public one '', a comment which fits the careers of the other six.

Even the great god Faulkner, the South's one probable contender for literary immortality, has little concerned himself with these matters ; ;

An approach that has appealed to some choreographers is reminiscent of Charles Olson's statement of the process of projective verse: `` one perception must immediately and directly lead to a further perception ''.

There was also a lesson, one that has served ever since to keep Americans, in their conflicts with one another, from turning from the ballot to the bullet.

He is a widower, his three children are dead, he has no one left on earth ; ;

And it is precisely in this poorer economic class that one finds, and has always found, the most racial friction.

This sentence would have most of the characteristics of a question, but it has some of the characteristics of a statement because the questioner has conveyed the fact that he has no faith in his own timepiece or the one attached to his car.

It will be noted that point f has seven nearest neighbors, h and e have six, and p has only one, while the remaining points have intermediate numbers.

This is an unsolved problem which probably has never been seriously investigated, although one frequently hears the comment that we have insufficient specialists of the kind who can compete with the Germans or Swiss, for example, in precision machinery and mathematics, or the Finns in geochemistry.

A perceptive journalist, Sam Lubell, has phrased it in the title of one of his books as the revolt of the moderates.

Research into several cultures has proven her position to be a mistaken one.

It is, however, a disarming disguise, or perhaps a shield, for not only has Mercer proved himself to be one of the few great lyricists over the years, but also one who can function remarkably under pressure.

Arlen is one of the few ( possibly the only ) composer Mercer has been able to work with so closely, for they held their meetings in Arlen's study.
