The term leg theory is somewhat archaic and seldom used any more, but the basic tactic still plays a part in modern cricket.

Much of the current work in cosmology includes understanding how galaxies form in the context of the Big Bang, understanding the physics of the Universe at earlier and earlier times, and reconciling observations with the basic theory.

Therefore, while the basic features of this epoch have been worked out in the Big Bang theory, the details are largely based on educated guesses.

The basic theory of nucleosynthesis was developed in 1948 by George Gamow, Ralph Asher Alpher and Robert Herman.

His theory attempted to explain the universe in terms of basic forces in nature: the complementary agents of yin ( dark, cold, female, negative ) and yang ( light, hot, male, positive ) and the Five Elements or Five Phases ( water, fire, wood, metal, and earth ).

Category theory is an area of study in mathematics that examines in an abstract way the properties of particular mathematical concepts, by formalising them as collections of objects and arrows ( also called morphisms, although this term also has a specific, non category-theoretical meaning ), where these collections satisfy some basic conditions.

However it is important to note that the objects of a category need not be sets nor the arrows functions ; any way of formalising a mathematical concept such that it meets the basic conditions on the behaviour of objects and arrows is a valid category, and all the results of category theory will apply to it.

The Yoneda lemma is one of the most famous basic results of category theory ; it describes representable functors in functor categories.

The basic theory behind all business organizations is that, by combining certain functions within a single entity, a business ( usually called a firm by economists ) can operate more efficiently, and thereby realize a greater profit.

) all refer to one basic underlying mechanism, although there is not yet any satisfactory theory for what that mechanism may be.

Except for that slight revision, the basic Darwinian theory hasn't changed in the last 50 years.

Either there are some basic beliefs that we can be justified for holding, without being able to justify them on the basis of any other belief, or else for each justified belief there is an infinite regress of ( potential ) justification nebula theory.

Although most electrical engineers will understand basic circuit theory ( that is the interactions of elements such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors and inductors in a circuit ), the theories employed by engineers generally depend upon the work they do.

Ohm's law is a basic law of circuit theory, stating that the current passing through a resistance is directly proportional to the potential difference across it.

The existence of conflict and of vigorous union demand for an increase in money wages does not contradict the assumption that the union is willing to settle for cost-of-living and productivity-share increases as distinct from a cost-raising increase in the basic wage rate.

Furthermore, there is no proposed mechanism of action by which the positions and motions of stars and planets could affect people and events on Earth that does not contradict well understood, basic aspects of biology and physics.

The argument does not go on to ascribe to the First Cause some of the basic attributes commonly associated with, for instance, a theistic God, such as immanence or omnibenevolence.

A bottle of basic DOCG Chianti Riserva that does not specify a sub-zone on the label.

For example, a basic property of addition is commutativity which states that the order of numbers being added together does not matter.

Hinduism is a conglomeration of distinct intellectual or philosophical points of view, rather than a rigid common set of beliefs, thus the basic definition of fundamentalism cannot apply to Hinduism considering that it does not contain any fundamental thoughts to abide to.

The reflection of light back into space — largely by clouds — does not much affect the basic mechanism ; this light, effectively, is lost to the system.

Reproductive sex does not necessarily require a heterosexual orientation, since orientation refers to a long term enduring pattern of sexual and emotional attraction leading to often long term social bonding, while, reproductive sex requires only the basic act of, often one time, vaginal intercourse.

Philosophers are not interested in the " Ship of Theseus " problem per se, but to a more basic problem which is this: How does one decide that X is the same as Y, where X describes something at one time, and Y describes another thing at a later time?

The basic proposition of these two categories pertains to the nature of reality, and the primary distinction between them is the way they answer two fundamental questions: " what does reality consist of and how does it originate?

Although there have been scattered and limited attempts at decentralization, as of mid-1993, Pyongyang's basic adherence to a rigid centrally planned economy continues, as does its reliance on fundamentally non-pecuniary incentives.

While the title states that it is naive, which is usually taken to mean without axioms, the book does introduce all the axioms of Zermelo – Fraenkel set theory and gives correct and rigorous definitions for basic objects.

Scanning meter can often show the basic or fundamental pattern underlying a verse, but does not show the varying degrees of stress, as well as the differing pitches and lengths of syllables.

Hence, depending on jurisdiction, a specialist physician ( internist ) often does not achieve recognition as a specialist until twelve or more years after commencing basic medical training — five to eight years at university to obtain a basic medical qualification, and up to another nine years to become a specialist.

Capitalism is very far from a perfect system, but so far we have yet to find anything that clearly does a better job of meeting human needs than a regulated capitalist economy coupled with a welfare and health care system that meets the basic needs of those who do not thrive in the capitalist economy.

However, the method of cooking these sheets of dough does not correspond to our modern definition of either a fresh or dry pasta product, which only had similar basic ingredients and perhaps the shape.

" The structure of a dissertation consists in an introduction that elucidates the basic definitions involved in the question as set, followed by an argument or thesis, a counter-argument or antithesis, and a resolving argument or synthesis that is not a compromise between the former but the production of a new argument, ending with a conclusion that does not sum up the points but opens onto a new problem.

Some researchers such as John A Lucy, Barbara Saunders and Stephen C Levinson have argued that Berlin and Kay's study does not in fact show that linguistic relativity in color naming is impossible, because of a number of basic unsupported assumptions in their study ( such as whether all cultures in fact have a category of " color " that can be unproblematically defined and equated with the one found in Indo-European languages ) and because of problems with their data stemming from those basic assumptions.

However, IE9 ( released 14 March 2011 ) does support the basic SVG feature set.

One of the basic tenets behind the self-help movement is that since a cure does not exist, quality of living can be improved by not thinking about the stammer for prolonged periods.

From this line of thought one may conclude that, as these conclusions violate our basic moral intuitions, no greater good theodicy is true, and God does not exist.
