Another subject of the split was whether to embrace devolution as a first step to full independence ( or as the sole step if this was what the electorate wished ) or for it to be " all or nothing ".

A major step toward that goal was the completion in 2007 of the full genome of James D. Watson, one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA.

In addition to the obvious step of using a minimum charge, rather than a full power one, significant cost savings may be obtained through careful powder choice.

Each step must be advantageous in its own right, although biologists may not yet understand the reason behind all of them — for example, jawless fish accomplish blood clotting with just six proteins instead of the full 10.

The Jericho Conference, organized by King Abdullah and attended by over 2, 000 Palestinian delegates in 1948 proclaimed " His Majesty Abdullah as King of all Palestine " and called for " the unification of Palestine and Transjordan as a step toward full Arab unity.

This was the first step that would lead to the full development of quantum mechanics, in which the wave-like nature and the particle-like nature of light are both considered to be descriptions of the same thing.

This document was the first step toward full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ( ELCA ).

God would allow for the ability to choose, and to not have full power over all in what was chosen by a human being each step of the way.

Another major step: The Federation of Reconstructionist Congregations has also developed educational programs that teach the full acceptance of lesbians, as well as rituals that affirm lesbian relationships.

" This document was the first step toward full communion with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ( ELCA ).

The current DoD Standard 5000. 2, released in 2000, states a clear preference against waterfall: " There are two approaches, evolutionary and single step, to full capability.

" His approach advocated for an initial step toward equal rights, rather than full equality under the law.

Worshipers drive thin nails through the palm of the hand, a step is used to stand on, and the period is short, not a full crucifixion.

In a preparatory step, the circuit is completed and the resistor adjusted to produce full scale deflection.

Thus, despite its lack of a full guarantee of religious freedom or broad-based tolerance, the law is, " a significant step forward in the struggle for religious liberty.

Marr often tuned his guitar up a full step to F-sharp to accommodate Morrissey's vocal range, and also used open tunings.

In this position the soldier next propelled his rifle forward, then dropped the supporting hand while taking a step forward with the right foot, simultaneously thrusting out the right arm full length with the extended rifle held in the grip of the right hand alone.

Longer thrusts were delivered with a full step forward with the back leg accompanying the back hand.

In many of Bach's cantatas the organ part is notated a full step lower than the other instruments '.

Because it was often assumed that married women did not need the vote since their husbands " voted for them ," some PSS members felt that the vote for single women and widows was a practical step along the path to full suffrage.

On 22 February 2010, The Hinkler Parade Regeneration Scheme took a step forward with the approval of £ 15 Million Pound project which would see seventeen shops, many of which are boarded up, twenty-two flats, and a five storey block of sixteen flats in Marston Road, will be demolished and replaced with 106 new homes-which would be a mix of rent, part buy-part rent and full ownership, 5 new shops and a community center.

The full reason for this step commonly attributed to his disappointment at the sultan's treatment of Christians, though Mehmed seems to have kept the fairly tolerant conditions he had allowed to them ; various writers hint darkly at other motives ( see Michalcescu, op.

Excited organic molecules can also relax via conversion to a triplet state, which may subsequently relax via phosphorescence or by a secondary non-radiative relaxation step.

The systematic synthesis of such compounds developed in the 19th century in step with the development of organic chemistry and the understanding of the structure of alkanes.

The gradient program may include sudden " step " increases in the percentage of the organic component, or different slopes at different times – all according to the desire for optimum separation in minimum time.

In one industrial synthesis of oxandrolone the key lactone-forming step is an organic reduction-esterification:

Each successive step up the food chain causes a stepwise concentration of pollutants such as heavy metals ( e. g. mercury ) and persistent organic pollutants such as DDT.

Hydroxylation is the first step in the oxidative degradation of organic compounds in air.

After a refluxing digestion step, the initial concentration of organic substances in the sample is calculated from a titrimetric or spectrophotometric determination of the oxidant still remaining in the sample.

Methanogenesis is the final step in the decay of organic matter.

Apart from the Miller – Urey experiment, the next most important step in research on prebiotic organic synthesis was the demonstration by Joan Oró that the nucleic acid purine base, adenine, was formed by heating aqueous ammonium cyanide solutions.

step 1: cycloheptatriene 2 + 2 cycloaddition with dichloro ketene step 2: diazomethane insertion reaction step 3: dehydrohalogenation reaction with dimethylformamide | DMF step 4: Luche reduction to alcohol with sodium borohydride step 5: elimination reaction with Burgess reagent step 6: organic oxidation | oxidation with p-chloranil step 7: dehalogenation with PMHS, palladium ( II ) acetate, potassium phosphate and the DPDB ligand

In the statement for the 2005 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for " the development of the metathesis method in organic synthesis ," the Nobel Prize Committee states, " this represents a great step forward for ' green chemistry ', reducing potentially hazardous waste through smarter production.

Generally, the component liquids of interest in applications of rotary evaporation are research solvents that one desires to remove from a sample after an extraction, for instance, following a natural product isolation or a step in an organic synthesis.

: The last possibility in the termination step will result in an impurity in the final mixture ; notably this results in an organic molecule with a longer carbon chain than the reactants.

As an alternative a " complexing agent " can be added during the enzymatic conversion step: such agents ( usually organic solvents like toluene, acetone or ethanol ) form a complex with the desired cyclodextrin which subsequently precipitates.

The book popularized a hypothesis he began to develop in the mid-1960s — that self-replication of clay crystals in solution might provide a simple intermediate step between biologically inert matter and organic life.

He found that ammonium salts can be produced by the reaction between organic compounds and sulfuric acid ; this step is a digestion.

Another example is the unimolecular nucleophilic substitution ( S < sub > N </ sub > 1 ) reaction in organic chemistry, where it is the first, rate-determining step that is unimolecular.

The final step is reductive elimination of the two coupling fragments to regenerate the catalyst and give the organic product.
