Munch's figures appear to play roles on a theatre stage ( Death in the Sick-Room ), whose pantomime of fixed postures signify various emotions ; since each character embodies a single psychological dimension, as in The Scream, Munch's men and women now appear more symbolic than realistic.

Simpler and cruder examples from the same year occurs in William S. Hart ' sThe Narrow Trail, in which a single shot of the mouth of San Francisco Bay taken against the light ( the Golden Gate ) is preceded by a narrative title explaining its symbolic function in the story.

Child development and consciousness author Joseph Chilton Pearce remarked that revelation typically appears in symbolic form and “ in a single flash of insight .” He used the metaphor of lightning striking and suggests that the revelation is “ a result of a buildup of resonant potential .” Pearce compared it to the earth asking a question and the sky answering it.

The name " Lo-Fi " is symbolic as an independent and " Low cost " ( free except for the price of equipment ) version of the " Wi-Fi " system, which was promulgated by the Wi-Fi Alliance, a non-profit organization with the goal of driving the adoption of a single worldwide-accepted standard for high-speed wireless local area networking.

He writes in the Southern Gothic aesthetic in his distinctly Faulknerian 1965 debut, The Orchard Keeper, and Suttree ( 1979 ); in the Epic Western tradition, with grotesquely drawn characters and symbolic narrative turns reminiscent of Melville, in Blood Meridian ( 1985 ), which Harold Bloom styled " the greatest single book since Faulkner ’ s As I Lay Dying ," calling the character of Judge Holden " short of Moby Dick, the most monstrous apparition in all of American literature "; in a much more pastoral tone in his celebrated Border Trilogy ( 1992 – 98 ) of bildungsromans, including All the Pretty Horses ( 1992 ), winner of the National Book Award ; and in the post-apocalyptic genre in the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Road ( 2007 ).

They were allowed to keep their muskets but no ammunition, and a single symbolic cannon.

In its primary function as a symbolic image, the icon design should ideally be divorced from any single language.

It would be Rupert Murdoch, who described cable and satellite television as being " the most important single advance since Caxton invented the printing press " and saw it as the ideal way into making his definitive breakthrough into the British television industry, who would buy the shares ( through his News International conglomerate ) for the symbolic price of £ 1 plus outstanding debts.

Clifford James Geertz ( August 23, 1926, San Francisco – October 30, 2006, Philadelphia ) was an American anthropologist who is remembered mostly for his strong support for and influence on the practice of symbolic anthropology, and who was considered " for three decades ... the single most influential cultural anthropologist in the United States.

that they were stratigraphically intrusive into the Châtelperronian deposits from .. overlying Proto-Aurignacian levels " and that " The central and inescapable implication of the new dating results from the Grotte du Renne is that the single most impressive and hitherto widely cited pillar of evidence for the presence of complex “ symbolic ” behavior among the late Neanderthal populations in Europe has now effectively collapsed.

BusyBox is a single binary, which is a conglomerate of many applications, each of which can be accessed by calling the single BusyBox binary with various names ( supported by having a symbolic link or hard link for each different name ) in a specific manner with appropriate arguments.

These classical methods run into problems: symbolic differentiation works at low speed, and faces the difficulty of converting a computer program into a single expression, while numerical differentiation can introduce round-off errors in the discretization process and cancellation.

For complex systems of symbols, the term is preferred to symbolism, which explains the symbolic meaning of a single cultural phenomenon.

Why the second tiara was added is not formally stated in any documents, but historians such as James-Charles Noonan suggest that it may have been symbolic of growing papal claims to both temporal and spiritual power, the two tiers in the papal crown contrasting with the single tier of standard monarchical crowns.

But if a single fall guy can absorb the punishment of many other guilty parties, the justice is mostly symbolic.

They were allowed to keep their muskets and a single symbolic cannon, but no ammunition.

Usually, a single equation corresponds to a curve on the plane.

This is not always the case: the trivial equation x = x specifies the entire plane, and the equation x < sup > 2 </ sup > + y < sup > 2 </ sup > = 0 specifies only the single point ( 0, 0 ).

In three dimensions, a single equation usually gives a surface, and a curve must be specified as the intersection of two surfaces ( see below ), or as a system of parametric equations.

The Cauchy – Riemann equations can then be written as a single equation

These equations are usually combined into a single equation

This is illustrated in the figure above, where the first pattern is the diffraction pattern of a single slit, given by the function in this equation, and the second figure shows the combined intensity of the light diffracted from the two slits, where the function represent the fine structure, and the coarser structure represents diffraction by the individual slits as described by the function.

In an equation with a single unknown, a value of that unknown for which the equation is true is called a solution or root of the equation.

In fact, certain well-known chaotic systems, such as the Lorenz attractor and the Rössler map, are conventionally described as a system of three first-order differential equations, but which may be combined into a single ( although rather complicated ) jerk equation.

A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and ( the first power of ) a single variable.

The Lorentz transform for a boost in one of the above directions can be compactly written as a single matrix equation:

An alternative method to solving, once finding the first non-trivial solution, one could take the original equation and factor the left hand side as a difference of squares, yielding Once in this form, one can simply raise each side of the equation to the kth power, and recombining the factored form to a single difference statement.

He shows how to convert a problem stated verbally into a system of polynomial equations ( up to 14th order ), by using up to four unknowns: 天Heaven, 地Earth, 人Man, 物Matter, and then how to reduce the system to a single polynomial equation in one unknown by sucessive elimination of unknowns.

The most famous example is the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation for a single particle moving in an electric field ( but not a magnetic field ):

As before, the most famous manifestation is the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation for a single particle moving in an electric field ( but not a magnetic field ):

A rich nation can for a time, without noticeable damage to itself, pursue a course of self-indulgence, making its single goal the material ease and comfort of its own citizens -- thus repudiating its own spiritual and material stake in a peaceful and prosperous society of nations.

Contrarily, Republican `` volunteers '' go their separate ways, and thus far have given no indication that they'd be willing to join forces under a single directorate, except in the most loose-knit fashion.

However, in this case as elsewhere it was necessary to arrive at a single standard to be applied to all situations, representing an averaging of conditions, and thus to fix particular points in time which would be considered the dividing points between daytime and nighttime conditions.

Every single problem touched on thus far is related to good marketing planning.

This central charge would thus be approximately half the atomic weight ( though it was almost 25 % off the figure for the atomic number in gold ( Z = 79, A = 197 ), the single element from which Rutherford made his guess ).

* The single verse, 2 Samuel 18: 33, regarding David's grief at the loss of his son (" And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom!

On all three occasions, 35 senators voted " guilty " and 19 " not guilty ", thus falling short by a single vote of the two-thirds majority required for conviction in impeachment trials.

Highly pigmented with a focus on single pigment colors for the cleanest mixing results, they tend to have viscosity similar to oil paints and can thus hold a brush stroke for impasto applications.

This is a serious problem if one has either a single trade or many related trades with a single counterparty, whose failure thus poses a threat, or in the event of a financial crisis when many counterparties fail.

This magnification is sufficient to observe field variations due to individual atoms, thus allowing in field ion and field evaporation modes for the imaging of single atoms.

These bytes might include start bits, stop bits, or parity bits, and thus could vary from 7 to 12 bits to contain a single 7-bit ASCII code.

Also in case of Single Instructions Multiple Data — a case when a lot of data from the same type has to be processed, modern processors can disable parts of the pipeline so that when a single instruction is executed many times, the CPU skips the fetch and decode phases and thus greatly increases performance on certain occasions, especially in highly monotonous program engines such as video creation software and photo processing.

The mid-tier Federal Court of Appeal is a single court that sits and hears cases in multiple cities, and thus mid-tier decisions have precedential value throughout Canada ( that is, unlike the United States, Canada is not divided into appellate circuits ).

For example, he or she cannot veto the legislative budget, and thus Congress is sovereign over the year's single most important piece of legislation.

Whereas the mass number simply counts the total number of neutrons and protons and is thus a natural ( or whole ) number, the atomic mass of a single isotope is a real number.

In 1916, chemist Gilbert N. Lewis developed the concept of the electron-pair bond, in which two atoms may share one to six electrons, thus forming the single electron bond, a single bond, a double bond, or a triple bond ; in Lewis's own words, " An electron may form a part of the shell of two different atoms and cannot be said to belong to either one exclusively.

The early European calicoes ( 1680 ) would thus be a cheap equal weft and warp plain weave cotton fabric in white, cream or unbleached cotton, with a block printed design using a single alizarin dye, fixed with two mordants giving a red and black pattern.

His April 1967 solo single, " The Laughing Gnome ", utilising sped-up thus high-pitched vocals, failed to chart.

The advantages of electron diffraction over X-ray crystallography are that the specimen need not be a single crystal or even a polycrystalline powder, and also that the Fourier transform reconstruction of the object's magnified structure occurs physically and thus avoids the need for solving the phase problem faced by the X-ray crystallographers after obtaining their X-ray diffraction patterns of a single crystal or polycrystalline powder.

Rail fins evolved into being and surged into popularity as riders ( Simon Anderson, most famously ) sought a solution to two major performance issues of a central " single " fin-both related to engagement of the foil: For one, a centrally-mounted fin is tilted up out of the water as the board is leaned over, and thus it loses more and more of its lift as the lean angle increases-if the lean angle is acute enough, the fin's tip can be the only area left in the water ; the tip may then rapidly stall and, having lost its lift, become disengaged from the water, leaving the board's bottom as the only control surface still operating.

He did not manage to win a single conflict on the battlefield against him, and thus resorted to more subtle means.

A single period is thus the smallest repeating unit of a signal, and one period describes the signal completely.
