The main advantage is the fine definition of the analog signal which has the potential for an infinite amount of signal resolution.

The power of choice under this definition has the potential for as much harm as it does good, and open theists see free will as the best answer to the problem of evil.

The electric field was formally defined as the force exerted per unit charge, but the concept of potential allows for a more useful and equivalent definition: the electric field is the local gradient of the electric potential.

By definition, it is the amount of energy gained by the charge of a single electron moved across an electric potential difference of one volt.

The standard electrode potential for the SHE is zero, by definition.

At standard temperature, pressure and concentration conditions, the cell's emf ( measured by a multimeter ) is 0. 34 V. By definition, the electrode potential for the SHE is zero.

The definition of enthalpy, H, permits us to use this thermodynamic potential to account for both internal energy and pV work in fluids for open systems:

According to the what economist Nicholas Barr describes as the " classical definition of income :" the 1938 Haig-Simons definition, " income may be defined as the ... sum of ( 1 ) the market value of rights exercised in consumption and ( 2 ) the change in the value of the store of property rights ..." Since the consumption potential of non-monetary goods, such as leisure, cannot be measured, monetary income may be thought of as a proxy for full income.

One may think of potential energy as being derived from force or think of force as being derived from potential energy ( though the latter approach requires a definition of energy that is independent from force which does not currently exist ).

" The International Association for the Study of Pain's widely used definition states: " Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage ".

The practical definition of a stem cell is the functional definition — a cell that has the potential to regenerate tissue over a lifetime.

While cancer is by definition malignant, a tumor can be benign, pre-malignant, or malignant, or can represent a lesion without any cancerous potential whatsoever.

Electrode potential, E, in electrochemistry, according to an IUPAC definition, is the electromotive force of a cell built of two electrodes:

This follows from the IUPAC definition of the electric potential difference of a galvanic cell, according to which the electric potential difference of a cell is the difference of the potentials of the electrodes on the right and the left of the galvanic cell.

Using Raoult ’ s law as the definition of an ideal solution, it is possible to deduce that the chemical potential of each component is given by

However a more theoretical thermodynamic definition of an ideal solution is one in which the chemical potential of each component is given by the above formula.

This is equivalent to the force definition above, since electric potential Φ is defined by the electric potential energy U per unit ( test ) positive charge:

Professor McNeill thinks that at Yalta, Stalin did not fully realize the dilemma which faced him, that he thought the exclusion of the anti-Soviet voters from East European elections would not be greatly resented by his allies, while neither Roosevelt nor Churchill frankly faced `` the fact that, in Poland at least, genuinely free democratic elections would return governments unfriendly to Russia '', by any definition of international friendliness.

Liebig's definition, while completely empirical, remained in use for almost 50 years until the adoption of the Arrhenius definition.

Following this definition, some chemists considered formaldehyde ( CH < sub > 2 </ sub > O ) to be the simplest carbohydrate, while others claimed that title for glycolaldehyde.

The difference between the two definitions is that under the former, finite sets are also considered to be countable, while under the latter definition, they are not considered to be countable.

Social conservatives ( in the first meaning of the word ) in many countries generally favor the pro-life position in the abortion controversy and oppose human embryonic stem cell research ( particularly if publicly funded ); oppose both eugenics and human enhancement ( transhumanism ) while supporting bioconservatism ; support a traditional definition of marriage as being one man and one woman ; view the nuclear family model as society's foundational unit ; oppose expansion of civil marriage and child adoption rights to couples in same-sex relationships ; promote public morality and traditional family values ; oppose atheism, especially militant atheism, secularism and the separation of church and state ; support the prohibition of drugs, prostitution, and euthanasia ; and support the censorship of pornography and what they consider to be obscenity or indecency.

Unlike other schemes, this definition includes the objects with major semi-axis less than 39. 4 AU ( 2: 3 resonance ) – named Inner classical belt, or more than 48. 7 ( 1: 2 resonance ) – named Outer classical belt while reserving the term Main classical belt for the orbits between these two resonances.

In theory, general dictionaries are supposed to be semasiological, mapping word to definition, while specialized dictionaries are supposed to be onomasiological, first identifying concepts and then establishing the terms used to designate them.

Stevenson has identified persuasive definition as a form of stipulative definition which purports to describe the " true " or " commonly accepted " meaning of a term, while in reality stipulating an altered use, perhaps as an argument for some specific view.

( To be precise: for the definition of the dipole moment one should always consider the " dipole limit ", where e. g. the distance of the generating charges should converge to 0, while simultaneously the charge strength should diverge to infinity in such a way that the product remains a positive constant.

An implication of model theory is that the properties defining a relation can be proved independent of each other ( and hence necessary parts of the definition ) if and only if, for each property, examples can be found of relations not satisfying the given property while satisfying all the other properties.

One important definition is the fourth: " Things seen under a greater angle appear greater, and those under a lesser angle less, while those under equal angles appear equal.

In summary, the thermodynamic definition of entropy provides the experimental definition of entropy, while the statistical definition of entropy extends the concept, providing an explanation and a deeper understanding of its nature.

" Stallman states that while the term " Free Software " can lead to two different interpretations, one of them is consistent with FSF definition of Free Software so there is at least some chance that it could be understood properly, unlike the term " Open Source ".

In the definition adopted by the British Admiralty, they were rated ships of at least 28 guns, carrying their principal armament upon a single continuous deck — the upper deck, while ships-of-the-line possessed two or more continuous decks bearing batteries of guns.

An FFT is a way to compute the same result more quickly: computing a DFT of N points in the naive way, using the definition, takes O ( N < sup > 2 </ sup >) arithmetical operations, while an FFT can compute the same result in only O ( N log N ) operations.

A narrow definition would take in roughly the same area as the modern states of Israel, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and Jordan, while a wider definition would include Syria.

Interestingly Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Iceland would actually be included in the definition of IONA used in this context while Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island would be in North America.

In this definition, increase in ( or ) indicates retardation ( delay ) in phase, while decrease indicates advance in phase.

Sometimes the definition of a linear function coincides with that of a linear map, while in analytic geometry it does not.

This force is used in the formal definition of the ampere, which states that it is " the constant current that will produce an attractive force of 2 × 10 < sup >– 7 </ sup > newton per metre of length between two straight, parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible circular cross section placed one metre apart in a vacuum ".

Giving a formal definition of algorithms, corresponding to the intuitive notion, remains a challenging problem.

While there is no generally accepted formal definition of " algorithm ," an informal definition could be " a set of rules that precisely defines a sequence of operations.

Using terms from formal language theory, the precise mathematical definition of this concept is as follows: Let S and T be two finite sets, called the source and target alphabets, respectively.

In a few years ( 1939 ) Turing would propose, like Church and Kleene before him, that his formal definition of mechanical computing agent was the correct one.

The formal definition of ' two natures ' in Christ was understood by the critics of the council at the time, and is understood by many historians and theologians today, to side with western and Antiochene Christology and to diverge from the teaching of Cyril of Alexandria, who always stressed that Christ is ' one '.

For example, in formal languages like mathematics, a ' stipulative ' definition guides a specific discussion.

Considerable controversy exists over the proper definition of the term " desertification " for which Helmut Geist ( 2005 ) has identified more than 100 formal definitions.

Then the equivalence class of the pair can be identified with the rational number, and this equivalence relation and its equivalence classes can be used to give a formal definition of the set of rational numbers.

Functional programming has its roots in lambda calculus, a formal system developed in the 1930s to investigate function definition, function application, and recursion.

While formal language theory usually concerns itself with formal languages that are described by some syntactical rules, the actual definition of the concept " formal language " is only as above: a ( possibly infinite ) set of finite-length strings, no more nor less.

By an abuse of the definition, a particular formal language is often thought of as being equipped with a formal grammar that describes it.

According to McBrien, the majority of the bishops were not so much interested in a formal definition of papal infallibility as they were in strengthening papal authority and, because of this, were willing to accept the agenda of the infallibilists.

Kasner decided to adopt a more formal definition " because different people get tired at different times and it would never do to have Carnera be a better mathematician than Dr. Einstein, simply because he had more endurance and could write for longer ".

The notion of a homomorphism can be given a formal definition in the context of universal algebra, a field which studies ideas common to all algebraic structures.
