The central concern of Erich Auerbach's impressive volume called Mimesis is to describe the shift from a classic theory of imitation ( based upon a recognition of levels of truth ) to a Christian theory of imitation in which the levels are dissolved.

Of the longer pieces of the volume none is so memorable as `` Nameless And Immortal '', which at once took rank among the finest poems ever written in the Swedish language.

The short poems grouped at the end of the volume as `` Thoughts in Loneliness '' is, as Professor Book indicated, in sharp contrast with the others.

It is different with his volume The Swedes And Their Chieftains ( Svenskarna och deras Hovdingar ), a history intended for the general reader and particularly suited for high school students.

Undoubtedly, however, the significance of the volume is greater than the foregoing paragraphs suggest.

The discussion is therefore limited to a suggested procedure for realizing at least some of the potential importance of this volume for future policy.

The volume is a piece of passionate special pleading, written with the heat -- and often with the wisdom, it must be said -- of a Liberal damning the shortsightedness of politicians from 1782 to 1832.

It is difficult to say what Thompson expected would come of their relationship, which had begun so soon after his emotions had been stirred by Maggie Brien, but when Katie wrote on April 11, 1900, to tell him that she was to be married to the Rev. Godfrey Burr, the vicar of Rushall in Staffordshire, the news evidently helped to deepen his discouragement over the failure of his hopes for a new volume of verse.

Displacement is sometimes referred to as `` swept volume ''.

Actually, the engine displacement formula is the standard formula for computing the volume of a cylinder of any type with an added factor that represents the number of cylinders in the engine.

The cross-sectional area of the cylinders is determined and then the volume of the individual cylinders is computed by multiplying the area by the stroke length, which is the equivalent of the length of the cylinders.

A cylinder's compression ratio is computed by comparing the cylinder's volume, or its displacement, with the total volume of the cylinder and its combustion chamber.

Cylinder volume is determined in exactly the same manner as for the displacement formula: Af.

To measure the volume of one of the combustion chambers in the cylinder head, install the valves and spark plug in the chamber and support the head so that its gasket surface is level.

The volume of the opening is added to the combustion chamber volume.

Another thing that must be taken into consideration is the volume of the area between the top of the piston and the top of the cylinder block when the piston is in top dead center position.

This volume is added to the total volume of the combustion chamber and head gasket opening.

The total of these three volumes is the `` final combustion chamber volume ''.

The only way to determine the final combustion chamber volume when such pistons are used is by measuring it with liquid while the cylinder head is bolted to the cylinder block and the piston is in top dead center position.

The volume of Georgian-Armenian trade remains modest in both relative and absolute terms.

A geometric interpretation can be given to the value of the determinant of a square matrix with real entries: the absolute value of the determinant gives the scale factor by which area or volume is multiplied under the associated linear transformation, while its sign indicates whether the transformation preserves orientation.

When a system, for example, n moles of a gas of volume V at pressure p and temperature T, is created or brought to its present state from absolute zero, energy must be supplied equal to its internal energy U plus pV, where pV is the work done in pushing against the ambient ( atmospheric ) pressure.

There has been a consequent rise in Lao exports to the United States, although the volume of trade remains small in absolute terms.

Schrödinger himself initially did not understand the fundamental probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, as he thought that the absolute square of the wave function of an electron should be interpreted as the charge density of an object smeared out over an extended, possibly infinite, volume of space.

Robert Boyle ( 1627-1691 ): formulated Boyle's law, which describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas ( if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system ), wrote The Sceptical Chymist ( seen as cornerstone book in the field of chemistry ), regarded as the first modern chemist, one of the founders of modern chemistry

On 7 April 1795, the gram was defined in France to be equal to " the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to a cube of one hundredth of a meter, and to the temperature of the melting ice.

It says that, for an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature ( in kelvin ).

He is best known for Boyle's law, which describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system.

* 1702 – Guillaume Amontons first calculates absolute zero to be − 240 ° C using an air thermometer, theorizing at this point the gas would reach zero volume and zero pressure.

where P is the absolute pressure of the gas measured in Pascals ; V is the volume ( in this equation the volume is expressed in meters cubed as pascal times cubic meter equals one Joule ); N is the number of particles in the gas ; k is Boltzmann's constant relating temperature and energy ; and T is the absolute temperature.

In another department of physical chemistry, he investigated the expansion of liquids with heat, and devised a formula similar to Gay-Lussac's law of the uniformity of the expansion of gases, while in 1861 he anticipated Thomas Andrews ' conception of the critical temperature of gases by defining the absolute boiling-point of a substance as the temperature at which cohesion and heat of vaporization become equal to zero and the liquid changes to vapor, irrespective of the pressure and volume.

Boyle's law ( sometimes referred to as the Boyle – Mariotte law ) states that the absolute pressure and volume of a given mass of confined gas are inversely proportional, if the temperature remains unchanged within a closed system.

where G is the Gibb's free energy, S is the entropy, V is the system volume, P is its pressure and T is its absolute temperature.

Originally defined as " the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre, and at the temperature of melting ice " ( later 4 ° C ), a gram is now defined as one one-thousandth of the SI base unit, the kilogram, or 1 × 10 < sup >− 3 </ sup > kg, which itself is defined as being equal to the mass of a physical prototype preserved by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature on the absolute temperature scale ( i. e. the gas expands as the temperature increases ).

where V is the volume of the gas ; and T is the absolute temperature.

The equation shows that, as absolute temperature increases, the volume of the gas also increases in proportion.

Charles ' Law states that under constant pressure, an ideal gas ' volume is proportional to its absolute temperature.

The volume of a gas at constant pressure increases linearly with the absolute temperature of the gas.

The credit for detecting its value belongs to Gaston Paris, although his edition ( 1897 ) was partially anticipated by the editors of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, who published some selections in the twenty-seventh volume of their Scriptores ( 1885 ).

These usually are not high-value coins, but the interest is in collecting a large volume of them either for the sake of the challenge, as a store of value, or in the hope that the intrinsic metal value will increase.

The compression ratio of an internal-combustion engine or external combustion engine is a value that represents the ratio of the volume of its combustion chamber from its largest capacity to its smallest capacity.

The thermal response of the calorimetric material is fully described by its pressure as the value of its constitutive function of just the volume and the temperature.

Violin music came to value a smoothness which fiddling, with its dance-driven clear beat, did not always follow-in situations that required greater volume, a fiddler ( as long as they kept the beat ) could push their instrument harder than could a violinist.

hekat ; however, Ahmes continued to use the traditional 256 / 81 value for pi for computing his hekat volume found in a cylinder.

As the dimensions of these quantities are the inverse of each other ( one is distance per volume, the other volume per distance ) when taking the mean value of the fuel-economy of a range of cars one measure will produce the harmonic mean of the other – i. e. converting the mean value of fuel economy expressed in litres per 100 km to miles per gallon will produce the harmonic mean of the fuel economy expressed in miles-per-gallon.

The volume and value of river trade made Echuca Victoria's second port and in the decade from 1874 it underwent considerable expansion.

Ores ( metals ) are traded internationally and comprise a sizeable portion of international trade in raw materials both in value and volume.

It is desirable to use LDOS to express the current because this value does not change as the volume changes, while probability density does.

While crustaceans composed only 4. 5 % of the total marine products in 2004 by volume, they accounted for 21 % of the total value.

The magnetization of a magnetized material is the local value of its magnetic moment per unit volume, usually denoted M, with units A / m.

In monatomic gases ( like argon ) at room temperature and constant volume, volumetric heat capacities are all very close to 0. 5 kJ / m³K, which is the same as the theoretical value of 3 / 2 RT per kelvin per mole of gas molecules ( where R is the gas constant and T is temperature ).

Economic growth stagnated, and cocoa exports dropped in both value and volume, creating large balance-of-payments deficits.

;< tt > uid </ tt > and < tt > gid </ tt >: These two options tell the filesystem driver to set the ( default, in the case of umsdos ) owner ID and group ID to be a single, specified, value for all files in the volume.

* Birch is used as firewood due to its high calorific value per unit weight and unit volume.

Hence, for a given temperature and pressure, the molar volume is the same for all ideal gases and is known to the same precision as the gas constant: R = 8. 314 4621 ( 75 ) J mol < sup >− 1 </ sup > K < sup >− 1 </ sup >, that is a relative standard uncertainty of 9. 1 × 10 < sup >− 7 </ sup >, according to the 2010 CODATA recommended value.
