He seems, by some unconscious division of labor, to have given them that one function and no other, leaving communication to the rest of the face.

The extent to which the public-limit price is raised by a given increase in the basic wage rate is itself a function of three things: the passage of time, the level of GNP, and the size of the wage increase.

We are abstracting from the fact of strikes here, but it should be obvious that the extent to which the public-limit price is raised by a given increase in the basic wage rate is also a function of the show of resistance put up by the industry.

The actual function of patristic communism was adequately set forth by St. Gregory almost a millenium before More wrote Utopia.

-- On the basis of a differentiability assumption in function space, it is possible to prove that, for materials having the property that the stress is given by a functional of the history of the deformation gradients, the classical theory of infinitesimal viscoelasticity is valid when the deformation has been infinitesimal for all times in the past.

The objective function is some measure of the increase in value of the stream by processing ; ;

Algorithm versus function computable by an algorithm: For a given function multiple algorithms may exist.

important to distinguish between the notion of algorithm, i. e. procedure and the notion of function computable by algorithm, i. e. mapping yielded by procedure.

They differ from other related families by often being pachycauline ( i. e. with a thickened trunk, usually wider at the base, which has a water storage function ), by usually having succulent leaves, and by possessing a trimerous flower with a superior ovary and seeds with an aryl.

Another type of reference circuit shows how to configure integrated circuits into function blocks, which Analog Devices provides for electrical design engineers.

Structural engineers are most commonly involved in the design of buildings and large nonbuilding structures but they can also be involved in the design of machinery, medical equipment, vehicles or any item where structural integrity affects the item's function or safety.
