The useful suggestion of Professor David Hawkins which considers culture as a third stage in biological evolution fits quite beautifully then with our suggestion that science has provided us with a rather successful technique for building protective artificial environments.

And to do this requires first of all the kind of information about people which is provided by the scientists in industrial anthropology and consumer research, who, for example, tell Courtenay that three days is the `` optimum priming period for a closed social circuit to be triggered with a catalytic cue-phrase '' -- which means that an effective propaganda technique is to send an idea into circulation and then three days later reinforce or undermine it.

He could no longer build anything, whether a private residence in his Pennsylvania county or a church in Brazil, without it being obvious that he had done it, and while here and there he was taken to task for again developing the same airy technique, they were such fanciful and sometimes even playful buildings that the public felt assured by its sense of recognition after a time, a quality of authentic uniqueness about them, which, once established by an artist as his private vision, is no longer disputable as to its other values.

What with traders trading for so many different objectives, and what with there being so many unique and individualized market theories and trading techniques in use, and more coming into use all the time, it is hard to imagine how any particular theory or technique could acquire enough `` fans '' to invalidate itself.

Thus while his theory or technique may not be oversubscribed, it is commonplace for bullish and bearish positions to become temporarily over-subscribed.

Then, advised by the Architect of the Capitol, the Joint Committee for the Library, traditionally responsible for the works of art in the building, ordered the space cleared and painted in fresco, to show `` the Peace after the Civil War '', `` the Spanish-American War '', and `` the Birth of Aviation '', to match as nearly as feasible Brumidi's technique and composition.

Several companies also saw possibilities in using the technique for extruding or molding vinyl products with a slight cellular core that would reduce costs yet would not affect physical properties of the end product to any great extent.

The low cost and ease of fabrication of the dies for three-dimensional foam cutting plus the wide variety of shapes, dimensions, and contours that can be tailor-made to customer requirements has made the technique useful for producing case liners, materials handling containers, packaging and cushioning devices, and such novelties as soap dishes, toys, head rests, arch supports, and gas pedal covers.

Although this technique is simple and satisfactory, one practical difficulty does exist: the direction of true north must be known for each launch point.

Leningrad's Kirov Ballet, famous for classic purity of technique, begins its first U.S. tour in New York ( through Sept. 30 ).

Assuming ZF is consistent, Paul Cohen employed the technique of forcing, developed for this purpose, to show that the axiom of choice itself is not a theorem of ZF by constructing a much more complex model which satisfies ZF ¬ C ( ZF with the negation of AC added as axiom ) and thus showing that ZF ¬ C is consistent.

J. J. Thomson created a technique for separating atom types through his work on ionized gases, which subsequently led to the discovery of stable isotopes.

Amplitude modulation ( AM ) is a technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for transmitting information via a radio carrier wave.

There are complications, and the technique requires careful preparation and a level of skill and experience above that required for a single anchor.

Kedging or warping is a technique for moving or turning a ship by using a relatively light anchor.

* Ajax framework, a framework for the Ajax technique

ASCII art is a graphic design technique that uses computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable ( from a total of 128 ) characters defined by the ASCII Standard from 1963 and ASCII compliant character sets with proprietary extended characters ( beyond the 128 characters of standard 7-bit ASCII

* Simulated annealing, a technique for searching for a solution in a space otherwise too large for ordinary search methods to yield results

The Alexander technique has been shown to be helpful for people suffering from tension headaches, back pain, frozen shoulders, housemaid's knee, flat feet, tennis elbow, minor digestive problems, asthma, difficulties sleeping, clumsiness, irritability and lethargy.

He credited the technique with allowing him to pursue his passion for Shakespearean acting.

DNA Gel electrophoresis is usually performed for analytical purposes, often after amplification of DNA via PCR, but may be used as a preparative technique prior to use of other methods such as mass spectrometry, RFLP, PCR, cloning, DNA sequencing, or Southern blotting for further characterization.

In molecular biology, restriction fragment length polymorphism, or RFLP ( commonly pronounced “ rif-lip ”), is a technique that exploits variations in homologous DNA sequences.

Although now largely obsolete due to the rise of inexpensive DNA sequencing technologies, RFLP analysis was the first DNA profiling technique inexpensive enough to see widespread application.

RFLP is still a technique used in marker assisted selection.

Flanking the repeats are segments of non-repetitive sequence ( shown here as thin lines ), allowing the VNTR blocks to be extracted with restriction enzymes and analyzed by RFLP, or amplified by the polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) technique and their size determined by gel electrophoresis.

Using the Southern blot technique, this quantified DNA can be isolated and examined further using PCR and RFLP analysis.

* Principal components analysis – a technique that can be used to simplify a dataset

* Finite element analysis – a computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis

* Aura analysis – a technique in which supporters of the method claim that the body's aura, or energy field is analyzed

* ABC analysis, an inventory categorization technique

* ABCD matrix analysis, a type of ray tracing technique used in the design of some optical systems

* Affinity analysis, a market research and business management technique

More recently, a collection of summarisation techniques has been formulated under the heading of exploratory data analysis: an example of such a technique is the box plot.

* Dynamic mechanical analysis, a technique used to determine the viscoelasticity of polymers

* Differential mobility analysis, a technique that sorts particles by diameter using electrical mobility

In 1970s and early 1980s, a subculture of C / SCSC analysis grew, but the technique was often ignored or even actively resisted by project managers in both government and industry.

The technique required varies depending on the specimen and the analysis required:

Since the 1980s, analysis of cryofixed, vitrified specimens has also become increasingly used by scientists, further confirming the validity of this technique.

The study of human problem solving required new kinds of human measurements and, with Anders Ericsson, Simon developed the experimental technique of verbal protocol analysis.

* Interprocedural analysis, a computer optimization technique

* Multivariate adaptive regression splines, a regression analysis technique

* Morphological analysis ( problem-solving ), or morphological modelling, a problem-solving technique used for problems with which causal modelling does not function well

* Growth-share matrix, a business analysis technique

He and his colleagues came up with a sampling technique, known as sequential sampling, which became, in the words of The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics, ' the standard analysis of quality control inspection.

A particular advantage of this technique is that it does not destroy the sample, and thus has been used for analysis of works of art and historical artifacts.

Neutron activation analysis is a sensitive multi-element analytical technique used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of major, minor, trace and rare elements.

Nuclear spin is best known for its crucial role in the NMR / MRI technique for chemistry and biochemistry analysis.

Event chain methodology is an uncertainty modeling and schedule network analysis technique that is focused on identifying and managing events and event chains that affect project schedules.

The classical PCR technique can be applied only to DNA strands, but, with the help of reverse transcriptase, RNA can be transcribed into DNA, thus making PCR analysis of RNA molecules possible.
