The main question raised by the incident is how much longer will UN bury its head in the sand on the Congo problem instead of facing the bitter fact that it has no solution in present terms??

I know of no other solution than the one N.C. proposes -- to do what we can for each sufferer as he confronts us, hoping that this will spread beyond him to others at some time and some place.

Much of its shock value derives from the fact that the first portion of the essay describes the plight of starving beggars in Ireland, so that the reader is unprepared for the surprise of Swift's solution when he states, " A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled ; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragoust.

A satire portraying a future and dystopian Western society with — based on contemporary trends — a culture of extreme youth rebellion and violence: it explores the violent nature of humans, human free will to choose between good or evil, and the desolation of free will as a solution to evil.

When this happens the carbon atoms will no longer be soluble with the iron, and will be forced to precipitate out of solution, nucleating into the spaces between the crystals.

Reaction with concentrated, hot KMnO < sub > 4 </ sub > ( or other oxidizing salts ) in an acidic solution will yield ketones or carboxylic acids.

Therefore, almost all SAT solvers include time-outs, so they will terminate even if they cannot find a solution.

For example, if a colloid consists of a solid phase dispersed in a liquid, the solid particles will not diffuse through a membrane, whereas with a true solution the dissolved ions or molecules will diffuse through a membrane.

Ax = b gives a bound on how inaccurate the solution x will be after approximation.

In particular, one should think of the condition number as being ( very roughly ) the rate at which the solution, x, will change with respect to a change in b. Thus, if the condition number is large, even a small error in b may cause a large error in x.

However it does not mean that the algorithm will converge rapidly to this solution, just that it won't diverge arbitrarily because of inaccuracy on the source data ( backward error ), provided that the forward error introduced by the algorithm does not diverge as well because of accumulating intermediate rounding errors.

The condition number may also be infinite, in which case the algorithm will not reliably find a solution to the problem, not even a weak approximation of it ( and not even its order of magnitude ) with any reasonable and provable accuracy.

In many cases, these stories will describe a series of failed attempts to make land before the solution is found.

Unless two substances are fully miscible there exists a concentration at which no further solute will dissolve in a solution.

If additional solute is added to a saturated solution, it will not dissolve, except in certain circumstances, when supersaturation may occur.

For each problem, the Institute had a professional mathematician write up an official statement of the problem, which will be the main standard by which a given solution will be measured against.

If < math > c ^ 2 < 4km </ math > there are two complex conjugate roots a ± ib, and the solution ( with the above boundary conditions ) will look like this:

Each vaporization-condensation cycle ( called a theoretical plate ) will yield a purer solution of the more volatile component.

However, the higher the temperature, the less chance that the ends to be joined will be aligned to allow ligation ( molecules move around the solution more at higher temperatures ).

The results on the existence of a solution to the conjugation equation depend on the eigenvalues of J and the degree of smoothness required from h. As J does not need to have any special symmetries, its eigenvalues will typically be complex numbers.

At the cathode, the metal ion in solution will accept one or more electrons from the cathode and the ion's oxidation state is reduced to 0.

They show that the solution at a given point P, given ( t, x, y, z ) depends only on the data on the sphere of radius ct that is intersected by the light cone drawn backwards from P. It does not depend upon data on the interior of this sphere.

The Laplace equation is unchanged under a rotation of coordinates, and hence we can expect that a fundamental solution may be obtained among solutions that only depend upon the distance r from the source point.

The cycloid is the solution to the brachistochrone problem ( i. e. it is the curve of fastest descent under gravity ) and the related tautochrone problem ( i. e. the period of an object in descent without friction inside this curve does not depend on the object's starting position ).

The Cauchy problem for the Laplace equation is called ill-posed or not well posed, since the solution does not depend continuously upon the data of the problem.

In applications that require only one solution, rather than all solutions, the expected running time of a brute force search will often depend on the order in which the candidates are tested.

Both mechanisms strongly depend on the pH of contacting solution: the rate of ion exchange decreases with pH as 10 < sup >− 0. 5pH </ sup > whereas the rate of hydrolytic dissolution increases with pH as 10 < sup > 0. 5pH </ sup >.

... when professional economists talk about public goods they do not mean that there are a general category of goods that share the same economic characteristics, manifest the same dysfunctions, and that may thus benefit from pretty similar corrective solutions ... there is merely an infinite series of particular problems ( some of overproduction, some of underproduction, and so on ), each with a particular solution that cannot be deduced from the theory, but that instead would depend on local empirical factors.

In chemical thermodynamics, activity ( symbol a ) is a measure of the “ effective concentration ” of a species in a mixture, meaning that the species ' chemical potential depends on the activity of a real solution in the same way that it would depend on concentration for an ideal solution.

Many writers have found Putnam's proposed solution unsatisfying, as it appears, in this regard at least, to depend on a shaky theory of meaning: that we cannot meaningfully talk or think about the " external " world because we cannot experience it sounds like a version of the outmoded verification principle.

He arrived at the conclusion that the solution method does not depend on this text but on the earlier The Mathematical Classic of Sun Zi as does the treatment of a similar problem by Fibonacci which predates the Mathematical Treatise in Nine Sections.

Stringing together a series of these elements to explain a problem or solution allows the author to easily craft a situation without having to depend on real-world laws to correlate to or confirm it.

In chemistry, colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend upon the ratio of the number of solute particles to the number of solvent molecules in a solution.

Freezing and boiling points are colligative properties of a solution, which depend on the concentration of the dissolved substance.

The kind of policy solution to be applied will depend on the nature of asymmetry ( VFA ).

The solution in time will be a linear combination of sine and cosine functions, with angular frequency of ω, while the form of the solution in space will depend on the boundary conditions.

The velocity of migration of an analyte in capillary electrophoresis will also depend upon the rate of electroosmotic flow ( EOF ) of the buffer solution.

The current due to the oxidation or reduction of either the reactants or products at a working electrode will depend on the concentration of that species in solution.

The pH of a solution of an acid salt will depend on the relevant equilibrium constants and the amounts of any additional base or acid.

The CMC generally depends on the method of measuring the samples, since a and b depend on the properties of the solution such as conductance and photochemical characteristics.

Enzyme rates depend on solution conditions and substrate concentration.
