The personal quality of Samuel Beckett is similar to qualities I had found in the plays.

The career of Charles 12, is obviously very similar to that of Napoleon.

A similar amateurish characteristic is revealed in Adams' failure to check the accuracy and authenticity of his informational sources.

But there is, nevertheless, always a subtle difference in the way in which supposedly similar opinions are held.

First of all there is ample area in East Greenwich already zoned in the classification similar to that which petitioner requested.

What was missing in the Governor's argument, as in so many similar arguments, was a premise which would enable one to make the ethical leap from what might be militarily desirable to what is right.

Although a similar situs for tangible property is mentioned in the statute, this is cancelled out by the provision that definite kinds of property `` and all other tangible property '' situated or being in any town is taxable where the property is situated.

The resulting setup, it was declared, `` would be similar to that which is in successful operation in a number of metropolitan counties as large or larger than Rhode Island ''.

Super-Set No. 2 is made up of similar exercises, but this time done with dumbbells, and using both `` moon '' and flat benches.

Chuck a length of 1/8'' '' dia. drill rod into a drill press or some similar turning device and while it is rotating file the end square and then file a slight taper 1/8'' '' long.

There is the free intra-city `` rent it here, leave it there '' service, as an example, the free delivery and collection at the airport, dockside or your hotel, luggage racks, touring documents and information and other similar services.

There is one exception to the above statement as has been pointed out, and that is that fluids can relax by flowing into fields of lower rates of shear, so the statement should be modified by stating that the mechanics are similar.

) This is, of course, a similar type of behavior to that indicated by birefringence studies.

The life history of the alkali bee is similar to that of Andrena, but the first activity of the adults does not take place until summer, and the individuals hibernate in the prepupal stage.

In litters of eight mice from similar parents, the number of mice with straight instead of wavy hair is an integer from 0 to 8.

This theorem is similar to the theorem of Kakutani that there exists a circumscribing cube around any closed, bounded convex set in Af.

In hunger stimulates man too the situation is very similar.

) These general facts are mentioned to make clear that the total situation in the two families is similar enough to warrant comparison.

It will be seen that where the scope is similar, the Athabascan ratios come out somewhat higher ( as indeed they ought to with a total ratio of 2.8 as against 3.5 or 4: 5 ) except for verbs, where alone the Athabascan ratio is lower.

For example, suppose another excess profits tax similar to prior laws is enacted, providing for carryover of excess profits credits.

A modern form of this argument is given by Sir Roger Penrose.

One consequence of this is that in standard general relativity, the universe began with a singularity, as demonstrated by Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose in the 1960s.

In order to work, and as pointed out by Roger Penrose from 1986 on, inflation requires extremely specific initial conditions of its own, so that the problem ( or pseudoproblem ) of initial conditions is not solved: “ There is something fundamentally misconceived about trying to explain the uniformity of the early universe as resulting from a thermalization process.

Penrose ’ s shocking conclusion, though, was that obtaining a flat universe without inflation is much more likely than with inflation – by a factor of 10 to the googol ( 10 to the 100 ) power !”

The hypothesis was first formulated by Roger Penrose in 1969, and it is not stated in a completely formal way.

This prediction has attracted debate and criticism from the AI research community, and some of its more notable members, such as Kevin Warwick, Bill Joy, Ken MacLeod, Ray Kurzweil, Hans Moravec, and Roger Penrose, have voiced their opinions on whether or not this future is likely.

Roger Penrose contends that the foundations of mathematics can't be understood absent the Platonic view that " mathematical truth is absolute, external and eternal, and not based on man-made criteria ... mathematical objects have a timeless existence of their own ..."

A modern form of this argument is given by Sir Roger Penrose.

For the purposes of proving the Penrose – Hawking singularity theorems, a spacetime with a singularity is defined to be one that contains geodesics that cannot be extended in a smooth manner.

Similar to the Penrose stairs optical illusion ( as in M. C. Escher's lithograph Ascending and Descending ) or a barber's pole, the basic concept is shown in figure 1.

The Penrose triangle, also known as the Penrose tribar, is an impossible object.

If a line is traced around the Penrose triangle, a 3-loop Möbius strip is formed.

While it is possible to construct analogies to the Penrose triangle with other regular polygons to create a Penrose polygon, the visual effect is not as striking, and as the sides increase, the object seems merely to be warped or twisted.

* In the big-screen film version of " The Avengers ", Mrs Peel ( Uma Thurman ) is trapped in a labyrinthine mansion which features a direct downward view of a Penrose stair.

Other patterns, such as Penrose tiling and Pongal or Kolam patterns from India, use symmetry which is a form of finite repetition, instead of translation which can repeat to infinity.

Now she is Professor Robyn Penrose, Head of Communications and Cultural Studies at Walsall University, and gives a lecture on " Interrogating the Subject ".

However, historian Walter Penrose concludes that in both cases " their status is perhaps more ' transgendered ' than ' third-gendered.

Roger Penrose is credited with the invention of spin networks in 1971, although similar diagrammatic techniques existed before that time.

Freecivs graphics system is configurable: originally, map display was always in overhead mode ( like in Civ I ), which many players found rather crude ; isometric mode ( like in Civ II ) and optionally hexagonal tiling ( like in Civ V ) were added later.

The more precise mathematical definition is that there is never translational symmetry in more than n – 1 linearly independent directions, where n is the dimension of the space filled ; i. e. the three-dimensional tiling displayed in a quasicrystal may have translational symmetry in two dimensions.

In 1961, Hao Wang asked whether determining if a set of tiles admits a tiling of the plane is an algorithmically unsolvable problem or not.

Icosahedral quasicrystals in three dimensions were projected from a six-dimensional hypercubic lattice by Peter Kramer and Roberto Neri in 1984 .< ref > The tiling is formed by two tiles with rhombohedral shape.

In geometry a self-replicating tiling is a tiling pattern in which several congruent tiles may be joined together to form a larger tile that is similar to the original.

Pex is nearly identical to Hex, except that it's played on a rhombus-shaped tiling of irregular pentagons, instead of regular hexagons.

Pex's tiling is notable for the fact that half of the pentagons each connect to seven adjacent neighbors, while the other half each connect to only to five neighbors.

It is possible to choose many different sets of prototiles for a tiling: translating or rotating any one of the prototiles produces another valid set of prototiles.

A set of prototiles is said to be aperiodic if every tiling with those prototiles is an aperiodic tiling.

The three-dimensional Schmitt-Conway-Danzer tile is the prototile of a monohedral aperiodic tiling of three-dimensional Euclidean space, but it remains open whether there is a monohedral aperiodic prototile for the plane.

( This essentially simulates an infinite periodic tiling, and in the field of partial differential equations is sometimes referred to as periodic boundary conditions.

The tiling is designed by Chris Southern, who worked with Hundertwasser on the Kawakawa toilets.

In 1961, Wang conjectured that if a finite set of tiles can tile the plane, then there exists also a periodic tiling, i. e., a tiling that is invariant under translations by vectors in a 2-dimensional lattice, like a wallpaper pattern.

* Michael F. Cohen, Jonathan Shade, Stefan Hiller, Oliver Deussen ( 2003 ), Wang Tiles for Image and Texture Generation introduces stochastic tiling and is very popular.
