These quantum numbers only occur in certain combinations of values, and their physical interpretation changes depending on whether real or complex versions of the atomic orbitals are employed.

If one quantizes a real scalar field, then one finds that there is only one kind of annihilation operator ; therefore, real scalar fields describe neutral bosons.

Applesoft converted integer numbers to real before performing operations on them, converting the result back to an integer only if it was to be assigned to a ( 16-bit signed ) integer variable.

An ideal amplifier would be a totally linear device, but real amplifiers are only linear within limits.

" The divine call for massacre at Jericho and elsewhere can be explained in terms of cultural norms ( Israel wasn't the only Iron Age state to practice herem ) and theology ( a measure to ensure Israel's purity as well as the fulfillment of God's promise ), but Patrick D.
