If we consider a process in which the outcome of one stage is known before passage to the next, then the principle of optimality shows that the policy in subsequent stages should be optimal with respect to the outcome of the first.

North and south, east and west, back and forth he sailed in the land-locked bay, plowing furiously forward until land appeared, then turning to repeat the process, day after day, week after week.

If economic integration really shapes congregational life, then evangelism should be a process of extending economic integration.

Such efforts almost always find themselves compelled to ask whether Adam was created capable of growing old and then older and then still older, in short, whether Adam's life was intended to be part of the process of time.

: Precise instructions ( in language understood by " the computer ") for a fast, efficient, " good " process that specifies the " moves " of " the computer " ( machine or human, equipped with the necessary internally contained information and capabilities ) to find, decode, and then process arbitrary input integers / symbols m and n, symbols + and =

He further says that the reason there is no complete conclusive repeatable evidence is because that if the afterlife was so demonstrable then it would become " another chapter in a school textbook " and that " the whole process of questioning, probing, studying, observing, meditating and of wanting so desperately and enduringly to know, is part of the development of mind itself ".

Since this process does not involve any heat transfer or work, the First Law of Thermodynamics then implies that the net internal energy change of the system is zero.

While encysted it may undergo a peculiar process of autogamy or self-fertilization, where it goes through meiosis and divides to form two gametes, which then fuse together again.

It is often useful to render image elements in separate passes, and then combine the resulting multiple 2D images into a single, final image in a process called compositing.

The fibers can then be spun into twines or cordage, or used in the pulping process for fine paper.

" The organ of observation and the observed thought process are then identical, so that the condition thus arrived at is simultaneously one of perception through thinking and one of thought through perception.

This process forms an atomized form of the analyte, which can then be measured by absorption or emission spectrometry.

The file extensions are successively added at each step of this process such that a collection of files that has been tarred and then gzipped will have a extension.

However, studies have shown that blind cave fish embryos begin to grow eyes during development but then something actively stops this process and flesh grows over the partially grown eyes.

Compilers, linkers, loaders, and utilities were then coded in assembly language, further continuing the bootstrapping process of developing complex software systems by using simpler software.

Modern biotechnology can be used to slow down the process of spoilage so that fruit can ripen longer on the plant and then be transported to the consumer with a still reasonable shelf life.

However, this was as much as the Greeks achieved, and they were then pursued back to the coast by Persian horsemen, losing many men in the process.

Where at least one process in one device is able to send / receive data to / from at least one process residing in a remote device, then the two devices are said to be in a network.

Water is then mixed with this dry composite, which enables it to be shaped ( typically poured ) and then solidified and hardened into rock-hard strength through a chemical process called hydration.

For example, if in a search task the reaction times vary proportionally with the number of elements, then it is evident that this cognitive process of searching involves serial instead of parallel processing.

Briefly, if we consider a morphism between two objects as a " process taking us from one object to another ", then higher-dimensional categories allow us to profitably generalize this by considering " higher-dimensional processes ".

Finding that Baldrick has forgotten to write dates on the machine's dials, the rest of the film follows their attempts to find their way back to 1999, often creating huge historical anomalies in the process which must be corrected before the end.

Intuitively, the process can be pictured as follows: first shrink the real line to the open interval (- π, π ) on the x-axis ; then bend the ends of this interval upwards ( in positive y-direction ) and move them towards each other, until you get a circle with one point ( the topmost one ) missing.

** Normal dynamics, is a stochastic motion having a Gaussian probability density function in position with variance MSD that follows, MSD ~ t, where MSD is the mean squared displacement of the process, and t is the time the process is seen ( normal dynamics and Brownian dynamics are very similar ; the term used depends on the field )

Dialectical materialism is essentially characterized by the thesis that history is the product of class struggles and follows the general Hegelian principle of philosophy of history, that is the development of the thesis into its antithesis which is sublated by the Aufhebung (" synthesis "), although this three-part process was not explicitly characterized in terms of a thesis, antithesis, and synthesis in Hegel's writings.

It follows that a reduction in the increase of entropy in a specified process, such as a chemical reaction, means that it is energetically more efficient.

The enthalpy H ( S, p ) of homogeneous systems can be derived as a characteristic function of the entropy S and the pressure p as follows: we start from the first law of thermodynamics for closed systems for an infinitesimal process

The steps in the process are as follows:

The change management process is as follows:

This differs from traditional documentation, in which a programmer is presented with source code that follows a compiler-imposed order, and must decipher the thought process behind the program from the code and its associated comments.

Q2 begins conducting and this starts the avalanche-like positive feedback process as follows.

In a chemical synapse, the process of synaptic transmission is as follows: when an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it opens voltage-gated calcium channels, allowing calcium ions to enter the terminal.

( In fact, subtracting 1 and dividing the result by 9 always gives a triangular number, the sequence starting with 3, 55, 903, 3727815, ....) This can be reformulated as follows: adding the digits of any even perfect number ( except 6 ), then adding the digits of the resulting number, and repeating this process until a single digit ( called the digital root ) is obtained, always produces the number 1.

Should a sitting prime minister today lose his seat in the legislature ( or should a new prime minister be appointed without holding a seat ), the typical process that follows is that a junior member in the governing political party will immediately resign to allow the prime minister to run in the resulting by-election.

In fact, there are many ways to generate finite amounts of data that mimic this signature behavior, but, in their asymptotic limit, are not true power laws ( e. g., if the generating process of some data follows a Log-normal distribution ).

The basic process is as follows: Both sides of a controversy are obliged to declare in advance of trial what witnesses they plan to call, and what each witness is expected to testify to.

Cleavage at these random sites follows a process of DNA translocation, which shows that these enzymes are also molecular motors.

According to the standard ISO 31000 " Risk management – Principles and guidelines on implementation ," the process of risk management consists of several steps as follows:

" The phrase due process of law first appeared in a statutory rendition of Magna Carta in A. D. 1354 during the reign of Edward III of England, as follows: " No man of what state or condition he be, shall be put out of his lands or tenements nor taken, nor disinherited, nor put to death, without he be brought to answer by due process of law.

The Queen's Bench, in an opinion by Justice Powys, explained the meaning of " due process of law " as follows:

Phase noise is added to this signal by adding a stochastic process represented by φ to the signal as follows:

* XML validation, the process of checking a document written in XML to confirm that it both is " well-formed " and follows a defined structure

This theory follows Piaget's proposition that children can only process a certain amount of information at each stage of development.
