Theogony is a part of Greek mythology which embodies the desire to articulate reality as a whole ; this universalizing impulse was fundamental for the first later projects of speculative theorizing.

It stumbled on infantry where no infantry should have been and McPherson's aggressive impulse faded out, overwhelmed by fears of the unknown.

He reasons that, i ) if we knew the nature of this power, then the mind-body divide would seem totally unmysterious to us ; ii ) if we had immediate knowledge of this mysterious power, then we would be able to intuitively explain why it is that we can control some parts of our bodies ( e. g., our hands or tongues ), and not others ( e. g., the liver or heart ); iii ) we have no immediate knowledge of the powers which allow an impulse of volition to create an action ( e. g., of the " muscles, and nerves, and animal spirits " which are the immediate cause of an action ).

His theological works argued that religious experience is a fundamentally human impulse, not just a Jewish one, and that no religious community could claim a monopoly on religious truth.

One way to increase the temperature, and thus the specific impulse, is to isolate the fuel elements so they no longer have to be rigid.

The specific impulse of a photonic rocket is harder to define, since the output has no ( rest ) mass and is not expended fuel ; if we take the momentum per inertia of the photons, the specific impulse is just c, which is impressive.

It is possible to obtain even higher specific impulse ; that of some other photonic propulsion devices ( e. g., solar sails ) is effectively infinite because no carried fuel is required.

This is the form for a recursive filter with both the inputs ( Numerator ) and outputs ( Denominator ), which typically leads to an IIR infinite impulse response behaviour, but if the denominator is made equal to unity i. e. no feedback, then this becomes an FIR or finite impulse response filter.

As so often, it is Athena who takes the initiative in giving the story a new direction ... Usually the motives of mortal and god coincide, here they do not: Athena wants Penelope to fan the Suitor's desire for her and ( thereby ) make her more esteemed by her husband and son ; Penelope has no real motive ... she simply feels an unprecedented impulse to meet the men she so loathes ... adding that she might take this opportunity to talk to Telemachus ( which she will indeed do ).

Miller sees what is happening, but is inside the whale, he " feels no impulse to alter or control the process that he is undergoing.

Even with such a motivation, it would be difficult to get Manion cleared of murder, so Biegler pushes him into a position where he claims to have no memory of the event, thus giving them a chance of winning his freedom with a defense of irresistible impulse — a version of a temporary insanity defense.

The latter condition can be realized by considering a very narrow function as the wanted impulse response of the filter even though this function has no relation to the desired frequency function.

This type of impulse is often idealized so that the change in momentum produced by the force happens with no change in time.

For it is the plain fact that nowadays there are no conservative or reactionary ideas in general circulation ... the conservative impulse and the reactionary impulse do not ... express themselves in ideas but only ... in irritable mental gestures which seek to resemble ideas.

Currently, the California Penal Code states ( 2002 ), " The defense of diminished capacity is hereby abolished ... there shall be no defense of diminished capacity, diminished responsibility, or irresistible impulse ..."

The Penal Code of the U. S. state of California states ( 2002 ), " The defense of diminished capacity is hereby abolished ... there shall be no defense of ... diminished responsibility or irresistible impulse ..."

However, when a PVC occurs the impulse nearly always travels in one direction therefore there is no neutralisation effect which results in the high voltage QRS wave in the electrocardiograph.

J. W. Burrow proposed that Freeman, like William Stubbs and John Richard Green, was an historical scholar with little or no experience of public affairs, with views of the present which were Romantically historicised and who was drawn to history by what was in a broad sense an antiquarian passion for the past, as well as a patriotic and populist impulse to identify the nation and its institutions as the collective subject of English history, making

This may include difficulties with concentration, attention, logical reasoning and impulse control.

: A practical issue is whether the fact that an accused is labouring under a " mental disability " should be a necessary but not sufficient condition for negating responsibility i. e. whether the test should also require an incapacity to understand what is being done, to know that what one is doing is wrong, or to control an impulse to do something and so demonstrate a causal link between the disability and the potentially criminal acts and omissions.

He argues that it is possible to distinguish the moral impulse of utilitarianism, which is “ to define the right as good consequences and to motivate people to achieve these ” from our ability to correctly apply rational principles which will among other things “ depend on the perceived facts of the case and on the particular moral actor ’ s mental equipment .” The fact that the latter is limited and can change doesn ’ t mean that the former has to be rejected.

LMP-103S has 6 % higher specific impulse and 30 % higher impulse density than hydrazine monopropellant which is highly toxic, in fact carcinogenic.

World War II provided the final impulse for exploring the subject in a novel which, although depicting events that took place over 3, 000 years ago, in fact reflects the contemporary feelings of disillusionment and war-weariness and carries a pessimistic message of the essential sameness of human nature throughout the ages.

The specific impulse of relativistic rockets is the same as the effective exhaust velocity, despite the fact that the nonlinear relationship of velocity and momentum as well as the conversion of matter to energy have to be taken into account ; the two effects cancel each other.

In 1898, Spain lost its last colonial possessions in Cuba and the Philippines, a fact that not only involved an important crisis of confidence, but also gave an impulse to political Catalanism.

XCOR Aerospace signed a $ 30 million contract with Yecheon Astro Space Center to build and lease its Lynx Mark II spaceplane, which would be designed to take off from a runway under its own rocket power, and to reach the same altitude and speed range as SpaceShipOne and SpaceShipTwo, due to the fact that Lynx is propelled by higher specific impulse fuels.

Total strangers saw fit to deprecate him, with the result that he was stricken early with a guilty fear of people and an obsequious impulse to apologize to society for the fact that he was not Henry Fonda.

The images of the individual object-plane impulse functions are called point spread functions, reflecting the fact that a mathematical point of light in the object plane is spread out to form a finite area in the image plane ( in some branches of mathematics and physics, these might be referred to as Green's functions or impulse response functions ).

This belief is founded on the fact that the dispersion of the mean < sup > 1 </ sup > orbital parameters of the core members is very small and can be accounted for by a small velocity impulse ( 15 < δV < 80 m / s ), compatible with a single collision and breakup.

If we imagine taking the measurement of the impulse of the screen in the direction X after every single particle has passed, we can know, from the fact that the screen will be found recoiled toward the top ( bottom ), if the particle in question has been deviated toward the bottom ( top ) and therefore we can know from which slit in S < sub > 2 </ sub > the particle has passed.

In this case, due to symmetry, the time-reversed complex conjugate of is in fact, allowing us to call the impulse response of our matched filter convolution system.

Salisbury said " Laissez-faire is an admirable doctrine but it must be applied on both sides ", as Parliament had enacted new building projects ( such as the Thames Embankment ) which had displaced working-class people and was responsible for " packing the people tighter ": "... thousands of families have only a single room to dwell in, where they sleep and eat, multiply, and die … It is difficult to exaggerate the misery which such conditions of life must cause, or the impulse they must give to vice.

The impulse for a script adapted to the language of the local people stemmed from efforts to evangelize the population.

He also introduced text-books, and came into stimulating contact with his people ; perhaps no one has ever succeeded as he did by the use of these methods in communicating intellectual, moral and religious impulse to so many students.
