I fled, however, not from what might have been the natural fear of being unable to disguise from you that the things about my bridegroom -- in the sense you meant the word `` things '' -- which you had been galvanizing yourself to tell me as a painful part of your maternal duty were things which I had already insisted upon finding out for myself ( despite, I may now say, the unspeakable awkwardness of making the discovery on principle, yes, on principle, and in cold blood ) because I was resolved, as a modern woman, not to be a mollycoddle waiting for Life but to seize Life by the throat.

Once the principle was established, the increase in state-owned vehicles came rapidly.

It was indeed a remarkable feat that a man who had had no experience of bridge building should have applied the principle of the arch, which appears in his famous bridges at Portsmouth, Haverhill, and Philadelphia.

It was a matter of principle with Churchill, since Britain had declared war in behalf of Poland.

It was possible, however, to decompose the compliance into a sum of a frequency-independent component and two viscoelastic mechanisms, each compatible with the Boltzmann superposition principle and with a consistent set of time-temperature equivalence factors.

This basic principle, the first in a richly knotted bundle, was conveyed to me by Dr. Henry Lee Smith, Jr., at the University of Buffalo, where he heads the world's first department of anthropology and linguistics.

In regard to Eichmann, it was to be found in the Nazi outlook, which contained a principle separate from and far worse than anti-Semitism, a principle by which the poison of anti-Semitism itself was made more virulent.

In any case, anyone who fails to make significant distinction between primary and secondary applications of economic pressure would in principle already have justified that use of economic boycott as a means which broke out a few years ago or was skillfully organized by White Citizens' Councils in the entire state of Mississippi against every local Philco dealer in that state, in protest against a Philco-sponsored program over a national TV network on which was presented a drama showing, it seemed, a `` high yellow gal '' smooching with a white man.

The simple treaty principle that Gabriel was asking him to ratify, in short, was nothing less than total trust.

Furthermore, even the highly trained law clerk who was a part of Jack's total make-up could not understand how the principle could ever be codified.

In fact, some -- Anzilotti is the principle example -- went so far as to say that all international law could be traced to the single legal norm, Pacta sunt Servanda.

The trouble with them was that they almost never worked, and in fact an agreement `` in principle '' historically turned out to be a sure sign that neither party really wanted the quarrel settled.

They come in various forms, such as the one pictured, and are often used in science museums to illustrate " radiation pressure " – a scientific principle that they do not in fact demonstrate.

However, in principle, since the same electronegativities should be obtained for any two bonding compounds, the data is in fact overdetermined, and the signs are unique once a reference point is fixed ( usually, for H or F ).

Furthermore, each Riemannian metric is naturally associated with one particular kind of connection, the Levi-Civita connection, and this is, in fact, the connection that satisfies the equivalence principle and makes space locally Minkowskian ( that is, in suitable locally inertial coordinates, the metric is Minkowskian, and its first partial derivatives and the connection coefficients vanish ).

This principle relies on the fact that substances which can do harm to humans are usually more reactive than air.

After having appeared as an instrument and place for isolating counterrevolutionary and criminal elements, the Gulag, because of its principle of “ correction by forced labor ”, quickly became, in fact, an independent branch of the national economy secured on the cheap labor force presented by prisoners.

Another complication exists with South Africa, in which the President is in fact elected by the National Assembly ( legislature ) and is thus similar, in principle, to a head of government in a parliamentary system but also, in addition, is recognized as the nation's head of state.

The basic principle behind observance of this vow lies in the fact that life changes.

While this theory depends on Bernoulli's principle, the fact that this theory has been discredited does not imply that Bernoulli's principle is incorrect.

Opposition to the use of violence has not prohibited anarcho-pacifists from accepting the principle of resistance or even revolutionary action ( see: non-violent revolution ) provided it does not result in violence ; it was in fact their approval of such forms of opposition to power that lead many anarcho-pacifists to endorse the anarcho-syndicalist concept of the general strike as the great revolutionary weapon.

In fact, this principle applies to all decisions, not just economic ones.

The anthropic principle states a logical truism: the fact of our existence as intelligent beings who can measure physical constants requires those constants to be such that beings like us can exist.

It has been shown that the Pauli exclusion principle is responsible for the fact that ordinary bulk matter is stable and occupies volume.

In fact, all measures derived from classical test theory are dependent on the sample tested, while, in principle, those derived from item response theory are not.

And Émile Durkheim, whose contributions were instrumental in the formation of sociology and anthropology, laid down the principle: " The determining cause of a social fact should be sought among social facts preceding and not among the states of individual consciousness ".

Another, more recently developed, theory, the Handicap principle of Amotz Zahavi, Russell Lande and W. D. Hamilton, holds that the fact that the male of the species is able to survive until and through the age of reproduction with such a seemingly maladaptive trait is effectively considered by the female to be a testament to his overall fitness.

::“ It is quite compatible with the principle of utility to recognise the fact, that some kinds of pleasure are more desirable and more valuable than others.

In fact, the modern explanation of the uncertainty principle, extending the Copenhagen interpretation first put forward by Bohr and Heisenberg, depends even more centrally on the wave nature of a particle: Just as it is nonsensical to discuss the precise location of a wave on a string, particles do not have perfectly precise positions ; likewise, just as it is nonsensical to discuss the wavelength of a " pulse " wave traveling down a string, particles do not have perfectly precise momenta ( which corresponds to the inverse of wavelength ).

In fact, they operate on the exact opposite principle of fusion of powers.

When the " characteristic freezing point " of a substance is determined, in fact the actual methodology is almost always " the principle of observing the disappearance rather than the formation of ice ", that is, the melting point.

The principle of compisitionality can in fact be maintained.

An Aristotelian could take a position on the spectrum between the view that the non-existence of the void was just a brute fact ( like the non-existence of unicorns ) or it was a high principle of physics ( like conservation of energy ).

Throughout Books II and III he returns again and again to the theme of there being no abhorrence of a vacuum and that all the phenomena explained by this supposed principle are in fact attributable to the pressure of the atmosphere in conjunction with various incorporeal potencies which he held to be acting.
