The threadbare notion that belief, unlike behaviour, is not subject to objective analysis, has placed intuitive metaphysics squarely against the sociology of knowledge, since it is precisely the job of the sociology of knowledge to treat beliefs as social facts no less viable than social behaviour.

Little is known of the territorial behaviour of caecilians but some frogs and salamanders defend home ranges.

In frogs, male territorial behaviour is often observed at breeding locations and calling is both an announcement of ownership of part of this resource and an advertisement call to potential mates.

In the modern IUPAC nomenclature, the alkali metals comprise the group 1 elements, excluding hydrogen ( H ), which is nominally a group 1 element but not normally considered to be an alkali metal as it rarely exhibits behaviour comparable to that of the alkali metals.

Central to his behaviour in the later novels is the underlying assumption that particular crimes are only committed by particular types of people.

Amino acids have zero mobility in electrophoresis at their isoelectric point, although this behaviour is more usually exploited for peptides and proteins than single amino acids.

This behaviour under CPT is the same as the statement that the particle and its antiparticle lie in the same irreducible representation of the Poincaré group.

There is some evidence of gregarious behaviour in other tyrannosaurids as well.

However, as the preservation of behaviour in the fossil record is exceedingly rare, these ideas cannot readily be tested.

Summoned on 27 August 1695 before the Kirk Session for his " undecent carriage " ( indecent behaviour ) in church, he " did not comper, having gone away to be seas: this business is continued till his return ".

As an example of different chemical behaviour, ozone ( O < sub > 3 </ sub >) is a much stronger oxidizing agent than dioxygen ( O < sub > 2 </ sub >).

A systematic 2003 review of controlled clinical trials related to the Alexander Technique found two reputable studies suggesting the Alexander Technique is effective in reducing the disability of patients suffering from Parkinson ’ s disease and improving pain behaviour and disability in patients with back pain, and concluded that the evidence supporting the effectiveness of the Alexander Technique is encouraging but not convincing.

Aesthetic ethics refers to the idea that human conduct and behaviour ought to be governed by that which is beautiful and attractive.

John Dewey has pointed out that the unity of aesthetics and ethics is in fact reflected in our understanding of behaviour being " fair "-the word having a double meaning of attractive and morally acceptable.

Thombs ( 1999 ) states according to behavioural sciences alcoholism is described as a “ maladaptive behaviour ”.

Thinking in abstractions is considered to be one of the key traits in modern human behaviour, which is believed to have developed between 50, 000 and 100, 000 years ago, probably before the modern human exodus from Africa.

* Specimen geometry is uncontrolled, yet controls projection behaviour, hence little control over the magnification.

It is sometimes described as having a torrent-like behaviour, because it can easily go from almost dry to near-flood in a few days.

The specification is vague as to required behaviour in scatternets.

Similarly, a variant of biological determinism might consider non-innate biological factors, such as the biological aspects of an organism's environment, to have a lesser effect on the organism's behaviour than innate biological factors.

She states that she is not ashamed of her mind, body, birth, breeding, actions, fortunes or behaviour, but that her bashfulness is innate.

Tests with both hand-reared and wild birds suggests that the behaviour is innate, not learnt by observing other birds, and displayed once they associate eggs with food and have access to pebbles.

Where this behaviour is prevented by wing-clipping, this innate reflex action is denied the bird, and its fear will not subside.

* Nature ( innate ), the innate behaviour, character, or essence of a human or another living organism

They claim that evolutionary accounts of human ethology claims that matters such as sexism and xenophobia are evolved and innate features of human behaviour, and therefore resistant to political change.

The contemporary centre right, unlike the far-right, usually claims that this is not innate and that people can end their behavioural inferiority through changing their habits and choices of behaviour.

Such individuals have also been described as possessing an eidetic memory, although whether such abilities are innate behaviour or somehow learned appears contentious.

The wave-like behaviour of Cathode Ray particles was later directly demonstrated using a crystal lattice by Davisson and Germer in 1927.

Although causation from the biological — genetic and hormonal — to the behavioural has been broadly demonstrated and accepted, Money is careful to also note that understanding of the causal chains from biology to behaviour in sex and gender issues is very far from complete.

John Hurrell Crook studied the behaviour of weaverbirds and demonstrated the links between ecological conditions, behaviour and social systems.

However, the consistency of the reciprocal behaviour, namely that a previously non-altruistic bat is refused help when it requires it, has not been demonstrated.

In 1965 Norman Zabusky of Bell Labs and Martin Kruskal of Princeton University first demonstrated soliton behaviour in media subject to the Korteweg – de Vries equation ( KdV equation ) in a computational investigation using a finite difference approach.

It's very obviously a satire on this male behaviour and a cautionary tale [...] That's not how he views women and relationships, as demonstrated by the rest of the plays.

Other motives for self-harm do not fit into medicalised models of behaviour and may seem incomprehensible to others, as demonstrated by this quotation:

Semin & Manstead ( 1982 ) demonstrated social functions of embarrassment whereby the perpetrator of knocking over a sales display ( the ‘ bad act ’) was deemed more likable by others if he / she appeared embarrassed than if he / she appeared unconcerned – regardless of restitution behaviour ( rebuilding the display ).

It has been demonstrated that those who are not prone to embarrassment are more likely to engage in antisocial behaviour – for example, adolescent boys who displayed more embarrassment were found to be less likely to engage in aggressive / delinquent behaviours.

Experimental infection of rats has been demonstrated to lead to learning impairments and altered social behaviour.

Despite his usually gruff, unrefined mannerisms, on occasion Groundskeeper Willie has demonstrated gentlemanly behaviour.

Crucially, however, the paper demonstrated that the complexity observed emerged in a robust manner that did not depend on finely tuned details of the system: variable parameters in the model could be changed widely without affecting the emergence of critical behaviour ( hence, self-organized criticality ).

In recent years his research has led him to study various aspects of arithmetic geometry: in particular, he and his collaborators have demonstrated how geometric properties of zeros of integral polynomials in many variables can be determined by the behaviour of associated L-functions.

The distinction has no serious significance, however, as microscopic hotspots such as those proposed to explain catalyst behaviour in several gas-phase catalytic reactions have been demonstrated by post-mortem methods and in-situ methods.

In its concern for the construction of the personality in social terms, it has been compared to the social behaviorism of George Herbert Mead something which explains Lacan's early praise of " Janet, who demonstrated so admirably the signification of feelings of persecution as phenomenological moments in social behaviour ".

The ability of power to mould behaviour patterns fascinated Blackwell, and his study of Virgil and Horace demonstrated the responsiveness of the arts to their political context and explored how they might influence it in turn.
