The problem is rather to find out what is actually happening, and this is especially difficult for the reason that `` we are busily being defended from a knowledge of the present, sometimes by the very agencies -- our educational system, our mass media, our statesmen -- on which we have had to rely most heavily for understanding of ourselves ''.

the prolusion in which the autobiographic statement about the epithet occurs is such a mass of intentionally buried allusions that almost nothing in it can be accepted as true -- or discarded as false.

Much more important is to grasp the feelings of the narrator ( whose full name is never given ) as he becomes aware of the disorganized and bewildered mass of French prisoners clustered together in a temporary prison camp in and around the cathedral of Chartres.

The human is deeper than a mass ideology, certainly deeper than the isolated individual ; ;

Although Mr. Brown was not himself its inventor ( it was a French idea ), it is typical that his intuition first conceived the importance of mass producing this basic tool for general use.

As mass dealer and distributor organizations grow in size, there is every reason to expect them to try to share in the manufacturer's as well as the distributor's profits -- which is, in effect, what the sale of private brands tends to do.

This calculation results in an enthalpy rise which is somewhat high because it assumes a mass flow equally distributed over the plug cross section whereas in reality the mass velocity is expected to be smaller in the regions of higher temperatures.

Note that the mass threshold is four times that of 1958 Alpha and that the flux is one fifth as large.

With detectors sensitive to three mass intervals and based on a few counts, the second and third Russian space probes indicate that the flux of the smallest particles detected is less than that of larger ones.

The threshold mass is derived from the momentum threshold with the assumption of a mean impact velocity of Af in the U.S. work and Af in the U.S.S.R. work.

However, the conversion from mass to size is unreliable, since many photographic meteors give evidence of a fluffy, loosely bound meteorite structure with densities as low as Af.

if a substantial fraction of the dust is orbiting about the Earth, only about one third the above-mentioned average velocity should be used in deriving the mass.

The radius is calculated from the mass by assuming spheres of density Af except for the smallest particles, which must have a higher mass density to remain in the solar system in the presence of solar-radiation pressure.

It is assumed that the flux values increase by a factor of 2.512 per magnitude, in accordance with the opinion that the total mass flux in each unit range in magnitude is constant.

Note that the mass scale is one to two orders of magnitude greater than some previously used ; ;

A measure of the total mass accretion of meteoritic material by the Earth is obtained from analyses of deep-sea sediments and dust collected in remote regions ( Pettersson, 1960 ).

Bussard ramjet designs that use the collected hydrogen only as reaction mass are sometimes referred to as ram-augmented interplanetary or interstellar rockets ( RAIR ) to distinguish them from the designs that use the collected hydrogen as fuel.

In the Zubrin / Andrews interplanetary ramjet design, they calculated that the drag force d / dt ( mv < sub > 1 </ sub >) equals the mass of the scooped ions collected per second multiplied by the velocity of the scooped ions within the solar system relative to the ramscoop.

* d / dt ( mv < sub > 1 </ sub >) is the drag force experienced by the ramjet during its actual operation ; d / dt ( mv < sub > 1 </ sub >) is the mass of collected propellant per unit time times the velocity of the scooped ions relative to the ramjet starship.

* d / dt ( mv < sub > 2 </ sub >) is the thrust produced by the ramjet ; d / dt ( mv < sub > 2 </ sub >) is the mass of the collected ramjet propellant per unit time multiplied by the exhaust velocity at which it is expelled from the Ramjet engine to generate thrust.

Thousands of combatants on both sides died in the fighting, alongside civilians, many of which were reportedly ethnic Russians ; unclaimed bodies were later collected and buried in mass graves on the city outskirts.

Air-augmented rockets ( also known as rocket-ejector, ramrocket, ducted rocket, integral rocket / ramjets, or ejector ramjets ) use the supersonic exhaust of some kind of rocket engine to further compress air collected by ram effect during flight to use as additional working mass, leading to greater effective thrust for any given amount of fuel than either the rocket or a ramjet alone.

It collected security information from cooperating sites and agencies for mass analysis.

The mass spectrometer, a high-voltage quadrupole, collected data to build a model of the molecular masses of each gas, and a more powerful separation of molecular and isotopic species was accomplished by the gas chromatograph.

Based on the data sample collected by the CMS detector at the LHC through the summer of 2011, CMSSM squarks have been excluded up to the mass of 1. 1 TeV and gluinos have been excluded up to 500 GeV.

Spohr also wrote dozens of songs, many of them collected as Deutsche Lieder ( German Songs ), as well as a mass and other choral works.

From 1987, a cycle of mass demonstrations featuring spontaneous singing eventually collected 300, 000 Estonians in Tallinn to sing national songs and hymns that were strictly forbidden during the years of the Soviet occupation, as Estonian rock musicians played.

As the collected mass of nude students exited Bel Air dorm, the reporter, whose voice was broadcast live over the station via a pay phone connection exclaimed ... " they are streaking past me right now.

* Hot Singles Sales —( per Billboard ) " the top selling singles compiled from a national sample of retail store, mass merchant and internet sales reports collected, compiled, and provided by Nielsen SoundScan.

This energy could be supplied by the star itself, collected by a Dyson sphere ; using only 10 % of the Sun's total power output would allow 5. 9 × 10 < sup > 21 </ sup > kilograms of matter to be lifted per year ( 0. 0000003 % of the Sun's total mass ).

Acylcarnitine profile of an individual with MCADD, showing characteristic elevation of octanoylcarnitine ( C8 ). In areas with expanded newborn screening using tandem mass spectrometry ( MS / MS ), MCADD is usually detected shortly after birth, by the analysis of blood spots collected on filter paper.

He left behind him at his death a mass of unpublished notes, part of which has been collected and published by his disciples Heinrich Ahrens ( 1808 – 1874 ), Hermann Karl, Freiherr von Leonhardi ( 1809-1875 ), Guillaume Tiberghien ( 1819-1901 ) and others.

Relating this principle to the below equation-for the substance used, the product of urine concentration and urine flow equals the mass of substance excreted during the time that urine has been collected.

These secondary ions are then collected by ion lenses ( 5 ) and filtered according to atomic mass ( 6 ), then projected onto an electron multiplier ( 7, top ), Faraday cup ( 7, bottom ), or CCD screen ( 8 ).

To the extent that our sampling of the orientations of American college students in the years 1950 and 1952 may be representative of our culture -- and still valid in 1959 -- we are disposed to question the summary characterization of the current generation as silent, beat, apathetic, or as a mass of other-directed conformists who are guided solely by social radar without benefit of inner gyroscopes.

He regaled Claire with an account of the mock mass performed by the cassocked bloods, which he had had at firsthand from old Bud Dodington, one of the leaders of the so-called `` Order ''.

Visual and operable training aids developed by the Medical Illustration Service, were used in support of Army Medical Service mass casualty exercises.

Argon was also blown at low velocities ( mass flow rate Af ) through a tube coaxial with the cathode as an additional precaution against contamination of the arc by air.

From an estimated mass of 25 g for a zero-magnitude meteorite, the other masses are derived with the assumption of a mass decrease by a factor of 2.512 for each unit increase in magnitude.

The mass scale used in Table 5-1 was derived on the assumption that the motion of the glowing trail is related to the momentum transfer to the trail by the meteorite, permitting the calculation of the mass if the velocity is known ( Cook and Whipple, 1958 ).

Likewise, Kant formulated the nebular hypothesis, according to which the solar system was evolved from a rotating mass of incandescent gas, nearly a half century before its scientific value was made plain by Laplace in his Systeme Du Monde.

and this he could do only by going over its mass with the tracing procedure.

Willow Run, General Electric's enormous installations at Louisville and Syracuse, the Pentagon, Boeing in Seattle, Douglas and Lockheed in Los Angeles, the new automobile assembly plants everywhere -- none of these is substantially served by any sort of conventional mass rapid transit.

The last two writers introduce strong political bias into their works, and not unlike the union leaders that we will discuss soon, see folklore as a reservoir of protest by a downtrodden and publically silenced mass.

With the formula C < sub > n </ sub > H < sub > 2n + 2 </ sub >, Alkanes belong to a homologous series of organic compounds in which the members differ by a constant relative molecular mass of 14.

In tropical and other climates typified by hot days and cool nights, the high thermal mass of adobe levels out the heat transfer through the wall to the living space.
