Perhaps the mere fact that by plucking on the nerves nature can awaken in the most ordinary of us, temporarily anyway, the sleeping poet, and in poets can discover their immortality, is the most remarkable of all the remarkable phenomena to which we can attest??

Although there is no question but that the process of washing fabrics involves a number of phenomena which are related together in an extremely complicated way and that these phenomena and their interrelations are not well understood at the present, this section attempts to present briefly an up-to-date picture of the physical chemistry of washing either fabrics or hard surfaces.

It does not consider the kinetic effects of the phosphate builders on sorption-desorption phenomena which will be discussed later ( see pp. 1746 - 1748 ).

For if the small group notion involves the implicit claim that the phenomena of sociological investigations are of atomic or subatomic proportions, the philosopher needs to know the extent to which such entities are valid.

These keys are the working principles of physics, mathematics and astronomy, principles which are then extrapolated, or projected, to explain phenomena of which we have little or no direct knowledge.

The agonies of nerves and itching of skin were phenomena which happened somewhere near him, but meant nothing.

The Ionian School of philosophers were the first natural philosophers ( φυσιολόγοι: physiologoi ) who tried to explain phenomena according to non-supernatural laws, and Pythagoras introduced the abstract mathematical-relations which formed the basis of the science of mathematics.

A relatively recent role for amateur astronomers is searching for overlooked phenomena ( e. g., Kreutz Sungrazers ) in the vast libraries of digital images and other data captured by Earth and space based observatories, much of which is available over the Internet.

Lists of phenomena, from the contemplation of which " the savage " was led to believe in animism, have been given by Sir E. B. Tylor, Herbert Spencer, Andrew Lang, and others ; a controversy arose between the former as to the priority of their respective lists.

Anomalous operation, also known as anomalous perturbation, is any paranormal phenomena in which it is said that an individual ( a ) uses Psi ( parapsychology ) to influence a physical event, or ( b ) to effect a physical change, in object.

Astrology consists of a number of belief systems which hold that there is a relationship between astronomical phenomena and events in the human world.

* By transcending such imaginative pictures, the meditant can become conscious of the meditative activity itself, which leads to experiences of expressions of soul-spiritual beings unmediated by sensory phenomena or qualities.

His research also involved the study of auroral phenomena, which he conducted with his assistant Olof Hiorter, and he was the first to suggest a connection between the aurora borealis and changes in the magnetic field of the Earth.

This is due to the rich historical record of astronomical phenomena which, in China, stretches back into the Han dynasty, in the second century BC.

Abstraction in mathematics is the process of extracting the underlying essence of a mathematical concept, removing any dependence on real world objects with which it might originally have been connected, and generalizing it so that it has wider applications or matching among other abstract descriptions of equivalent phenomena.

It is also applied contemptuously to a conception or hypothesis which purports to be a simple solution of apparently insoluble phenomena.

In these final pieces he offered a critique of Western science in which he suggested that non-European languages often referred to physical phenomena in ways that more directly reflected aspects of reality than many European languages, and that science ought to pay attention to the effects of linguistic categorization in its efforts to describe the physical world.

Whorf argued that paying attention to how other physical phenomena are described in the study of linguistics could make valuable contributions to science by pointing out the ways in which certain assumptions about reality are implicit in the structure of language itself, and how language guides the attention of speakers towards certain phenomena in the world which risk becoming overemphasized while leaving other phenomena at risk of being overlooked.

The combination of two phenomena gives rise to metallic bonding: delocalization of electrons and the availability of a far larger number of delocalized energy states than of delocalized electrons.

This gives rise to metals ' typical characteristic phenomena of malleability and ductility.

Nonlinear optics gives rise to a host of optical phenomena:

For microscopic bodies, the extension of the system is much smaller than the coherence length, which gives rise to long-range entanglement and other nonlocal phenomena that are characteristic of quantum systems.

It shows how astronomical observations prove the inverse square law of gravitation ( to an accuracy that was high by the standards of Newton's time ); offers estimates of relative masses for the known giant planets and for the Earth and the Sun ; defines the very slow motion of the Sun relative to the solar-system barycenter ; shows how the theory of gravity can account for irregularities in the motion of the Moon ; identifies the oblateness of the figure of the Earth ; accounts approximately for marine tides including phenomena of spring and neap tides by the perturbing ( and varying ) gravitational attractions of the Sun and Moon on the Earth's waters ; explains the precession of the equinoxes as an effect of the gravitational attraction of the Moon on the Earth's equatorial bulge ; and gives theoretical basis for numerous phenomena about comets and their elongated, near-parabolic orbits.

( Erickson 1975, 6 ) gives a table of subjective experiences and related physical phenomena based on Schouten's five attributes:

At all events, this is the way the phenomena look to me: in the region of the knowable the last thing to be seen, and that with considerable effort, is the idea of good ; but once seen, it must be concluded that this is indeed the cause for all things of all that is right and beautiful — in the visible realm it gives birth to light and its sovereign ; in the intelligible realm, itself sovereign, it provided truth and intelligence — and that the man who is going to act prudently in private or in public must see it " ( 517b – c ).

One is the dual object view, according to which the thing-in-itself is a distinct entity from the phenomena it gives rise to.

The standard scientific models gives an explanation for what appears to be paranormal phenomena is usually a misinterpretation, misunderstanding, or anomalous variation of natural phenomena, rather than an actual paranormal phenomenon.

Hamming gives four examples of nontrivial physical phenomena he believes arose from the mathematical tools employed and not from the intrinsic properties of physical reality.

This gives rise to distinct optical phenomena such as inhibition of spontaneous emission, high-reflecting omni-directional mirrors and low-loss-waveguiding, amongst others.

And in relinquishing such an attachment to compounded phenomena, such a person gives up delight, desire and craving for compounded phenomena and is unbounded by its change.

In this, he introduces the concepts of molecular volume and molecular attraction ; gives a semi-quantitative description of the phenomena of condensation and critical temperatures ; and derives the van der Waals equation.

In number theory, more specifically in local class field theory, the ramification groups are a filtration of the Galois group of a local field extension, which gives detailed information on the ramification phenomena of the extension.

These short pulses open the new field of ultrafast optics, which is a field of nonlinear optics that gives access to a completely new class of phenomena like measurement of electron movements in an atom ( attosecond phenomena ), coherent broadband light generation ( ultrabroad lasers ) and thereby gives rise to many new applications in optical sensing ( e. g. coherent laser radar, ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography ), material processing and other fields like metrology ( extremely exact frequency and time measurements ).

The manuscript " gives a clear and systematic account of Māori religious beliefs and beliefs about the origin of many natural phenomena, the creation of woman, the origin of death, and the fishing up of lands.

In the latter half of part II of that paper, Maxwell gives a separate physical explanation for each of the two phenomena.

Foucault then gives examples of this procedure through the system known as raison d ' état, from this analytical view of the state by Claude Fleury, war, raising finance, justice ; there must be an abundance of men ( large scale phenomena of population ).

It opens with a series of solemn oaths sworn on various astronomical phenomena, the first of which, " by the sun ", gives the sura its name, then on the human soul itself.

There is a common interest in the processes ( often of a linguistic or symbolic kind ) that give rise to observable phenomena and here there is some mutual influence among the different versions of critical theory.

Philosophical interpretations of quantum phenomena, however, are another matter: the question of how to interpret the mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics has given rise to a variety of different answers from people of different philosophical persuasions ( see Interpretations of quantum mechanics ).

For example, E. B. Tylor interpreted myth as an attempt at a literal explanation for natural phenomena: unable to conceive of impersonal natural laws, early man tried to explain natural phenomena by attributing souls to inanimate objects, giving rise to animism.

Other philosophers argue that categorization and conceptualization is learned and basically arbitrary, and that the objects in the world can be categorized in multiple ways, giving rise to different ways of describing or understanding the same phenomena.

The growth of genetics and the rise of molecular biology led to the application of the gene-centered view of evolution to explain avian phenomena.

It has been already argued that desires cannot be measured directly, but only indirectly, by the outward phenomena to which they give rise: and that in those cases with which economics is chiefly concerned the measure is found in the price which a person is willing to pay for the fulfilment or satisfaction of his desire.

In the late 1970s, science fiction fan and scholar of Canadian literature Susan Wood helped pioneer the study of feminist science fiction, and ( along with immigrant editor Judith Merril ) brought new respectability to the study of Canadian science fiction, paving the way for the rise of such phenomena as the French-Canadian science fiction magazine Solaris.

It includes all phenomena resulting from and causing magma within the crust or mantle of a planet to rise through the crust and form volcanic rocks on the surface.

Nonlinear equations are difficult to solve and give rise to interesting phenomena such as chaos.

It asserts that while material causes give rise to sensations, volitions, ideas, etc., such mental phenomena themselves cause nothing further: they are causal dead-ends.

If this were to occur at the surface, the subsequent discharge from this gas might be able to give rise to phenomena visible from Earth.

The Earth's atmosphere can give rise to significant temporal distortions that could be confused with actual lunar phenomena ( see astronomical seeing ).

It is closely associated with covering maps and their degeneration into ramification ; the aspect giving rise to monodromy phenomena is that certain functions we may wish to define fail to be single-valued as we ' run round ' a path encircling a singularity.

Parts of this swamp give rise to the so-called Bridgewater Triangle, a small area of concentrated reports of strange Fortean phenomena, colonial " dark days ", Bigfoot and mysterious black panthers, UFO sightings, and other weird encounters, a phrase coined by Loren Coleman, author of Mysterious America, often compared to the Bermuda Triangle.

For a list of repulsive-attractive competing forces which can give rise to SA phenomena.

The term has given rise to a number of television programmes which endeavour to expose whether phenomena seen in films can be replicated.

The challenge for the psychology of religion is essentially threefold: ( 1 ) to provide a thoroughgoing description of the objects of investigation, whether they be shared religious content ( e. g., a tradition's ritual observances ) or individual experiences, attitudes, or conduct ; ( 2 ) to account in psychological terms for the rise of such phenomena ; and ( 3 ) to clarify the outcomes — the fruits, as William James put it — of these phenomena, for individuals and for the larger society.
