These dates are virtually the only clues we have to the chronology of the poems, since the separate volumes are neither chronological within themselves nor in relation to each other.

A binary relation is the special case of an n-ary relation R ⊆ A < sub > 1 </ sub > × … × A < sub > n </ sub >, that is, a set of n-tuples where the jth component of each n-tuple is taken from the jth domain A < sub > j </ sub > of the relation.

Less formally, the equivalence relation ker on X, takes each function f: X → X to its kernel ker f. Likewise, ker ( ker ) is an equivalence relation on X ^ X.

An implication of model theory is that the properties defining a relation can be proved independent of each other ( and hence necessary parts of the definition ) if and only if, for each property, examples can be found of relations not satisfying the given property while satisfying all the other properties.

Sapir studied the ways in which language and culture influence each other, and he was interested in the relation between linguistic differences, and differences in cultural world views.

Functionalists assert that mental states are well described by their overall role, their activity in relation to the organism as a whole.

In reality, the differential “ selection ” of a trait, or an adaptation, is a consequence of the functional effects it produces in relation to the survival and reproductive success of a given organism in a given environment.

law ) is the comprehensive study of an organism and its relation to its environment.

Overeating generally refers to the long-term consumption of excess food in relation to the energy that an organism expends ( or expels via excretion ), leading to weight gaining

Complex self-organized living systems are also governed by formal and final causality – formal in the sense of the downward causation from a whole structure ( such as the organism ) to its individual molecules, constraining their action but also endowing them with functional meanings in relation to the whole metabolism ; and final in the sense of the tendency to take habits and to generate future interpretants of the present sign actions.

In relation to point mutations, it states that beneficial mutations allow the organism to thrive and reproduce, thereby passing its positively affected mutated genes on to the next generation.

Behavior ( or behaviour ) refers to the actions or reactions of an organism or object, usually in relation to its environment.

La Connaissance de la vie is an extended study of the specificity of biology as a science, the historical and conceptual significance of vitalism, and the possibility of conceiving organisms not on the basis of mechanical and technical models that would reduce the organism to a machine, but rather on the basis of the organism's relation to the milieu in which it lives, its successful survival in this milieu, and its status as something greater than " the sum of its parts.

This relation formalises the fact that the effective contact rate depends not only on the social patterns of contact in a particular society ( γ ) but also on the specific types of contact and the pathology of the infectious organism ( p ).

He argued that animals and humans stand in a ' systems ' or ' ecological ' relation to the environment, such that to adequately explain some behaviour it was necessary to study the environment or niche in which the behaviour took place and, especially, the information that ' epistemically connects ' the organism to the environment.

Victor Ernest Shelford wrote Animal Communities in Temperate America in 1913, where he outlines three main principles of ecology, ( a ) emphasizing the importance of studying the physiology of the organism, rather than the physiology of a specific organ ; ( b ) evaluating the “ phenomena of behavior and physiology ” in relation to the natural environments ; and ( c ) relating the ecology of plant life to that of animal life.

Furthermore, this graph models the relation between basal metabolic rate and field metabolic rate, where the latter is the rate for the organism while the former is the rate for its cells.

The relation of cell metabolic rate to organism mass, a contentious subject for proponents of the standard exponent, is modeled as non-existent when ME is considered, appearing instead as the relation of the cell's metabolic rate to the organism's ME, where the ME of the organism is the same as for its cells.

Toxic capacity can mean the toxicity of a substance, possibly in relation to a specific organism and toxic capacity can mean the capacity of an organism, organic system or ecosystem to contain a toxic substance or a selection of toxic substances ( a compound ) without showing signs of poisoning or dying.

In conformance with the maximization principle we affirm that Gentile-Jewish relations will be harmonious or inharmonious to the degree that one relation or the other is expected by the active participants to yield the greatest net advantage, taking all value outcomes and effects into consideration.

The threat of effective anti-trust action, provoked by `` gouging the public '' through price increases not justified by cost increases, and fears of endangering relations with customers, Congress, the general public and the press, all operate to keep price increases in some relation to cost increases.

In mathematics, a binary relation R on a set X is antisymmetric if, for all a and b in X

Within a shell where n is some integer n < sub > 0 </ sub >, ranges across all ( integer ) values satisfying the relation.

" The black race of Africa are inferior to the white man in point of intellect – better calculated in physical structure to undergo drudgery and hardship – standing, as they do, many degrees lower in the scale of gradation that expresses the relative relation between God and all that he has created than the white man.

When again it is asked, What is the foundation of all our reasonings and conclusions concerning that relation?

Not all Muslims are in agreement on the use of art in religious observance, the proper place of art in society, or the relation between secular art and the demands placed on the secular world to conform to religious precepts.

The close relationship of alternative algebras and composition algebras was given by Guy Roos in 2008: He shows ( page 162 ) the relation for an algebra A with unit element e and an involutive anti-automorphism such that a + a * and aa * are on the line spanned by e for all a in A.

Some philosophers deny that the concept of " being " has any meaning at all, since we only define an object's existence by its relation to other objects, and actions it undertakes.

Stenton regarded it as one of the " small class of books which transcend all but the most fundamental conditions of time and place ", and regarded its quality as dependent on Bede's " astonishing power of co-ordinating the fragments of information which came to him through tradition, the relation of friends, or documentary evidence ...

Could one not say that, in the fortuitous combinations of the productions of nature, as there must be some characterized by a certain relation of fitness which are able to subsist, it is not to be wondered at that this fitness is present in all the species that are currently in existence?

Written in the form of dialogues between the legendary Yellow Emperor and his ministers, it offers explanations on the relation between humans, their environment, and the cosmos, on the contents of the body, on human vitality and pathology, on the symptoms of illness, and on how to make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in light of all these factors.

The graph of a function or relation is the set of all points satisfying that function or relation.

g ( x, y ) is the graph of the function g. A sketch of the graph of such a function or relation would consist of all the salient parts of the function or relation which would include its relative extrema, its concavity and points of inflection, any points of discontinuity and its end behavior.

But " having distance 0 " is an equivalence relation on the set of all Cauchy sequences, and the set of equivalence classes is a metric space, the completion of M. The original space is embedded in this space via the identification of an element x of M with the equivalence class of sequences converging to x ( i. e., the equivalence class containing the sequence with constant value x ).
