Until tangible and mutually enforceable arms reduction measures are worked out we will not weaken the means of defending our institutions.

The practical definition may lead to confusion with the definition of a coulomb ( i. e., 1 amp-second ), but in practical terms this means that measures of a constant current ( e. g., the nominal flow of charge per second through a simple circuit ) will be defined in amperes ( e. g., " a 20 mA circuit ") and the flow of charge through a circuit over a period of time will be defined in coulombs ( e. g., " a variable-current circuit that flows a total of 10 coulombs over 5 seconds ").

In addition, critics state that unlike Malthus, Ehrlich did not see any means of avoiding the disaster entirely ( although some mitigation was possible ), and proposed solutions that were much more radical than those discussed by Malthus, such as starving whole countries that refused to implement population control measures.

We intend to press our opposition by all available means on all related measures in both Houses.

Even though a long-term occupation is generally maintained as a means to act upon a territorial claim, this is not a prerequisite as occupation may also be strategic ( such as creating a buffer zone or a preventive move to prevent a rival power obtaining control ) or a means of coercion ( such as a punishment, to impose some internal measures or for use as a bargaining chip ).

In his definition of " disarmament ", David Carlton writes in the Oxford University Press Political dictionary, " But confidence in such measures of arms control, especially when unaccompanied by extensive means of verification, has not been strengthened by the revelation that the Soviet Union in its last years successfully concealed consistent and systematic cheating on its obligations under the Biological Weapons Convention.

When asked whether ignorance was not bliss in such matters, he stated that his knowledge means that he can now take measures to ward off the disease.

This phenomenon of geodesic deviation means that inertial frames of reference do not exist globally as they do in Newtonian mechanics and special relativity.

While one standard deviation is 15 points, and two SDs are 30 points, and so on, this does not imply that mental ability is linearly related to IQ, such that IQ 50 means half the cognitive ability of IQ 100.

The frequency deviation of a radio is of particular importance in relation to bandwidth, because less deviation means that more channels can fit into the same amount of frequency spectrum.

A specialty die called a scatter die is used to determine deviation for less accurate events such as artillery barrages or reserve units deploying onto the battlefield through irregular means.

In a log-normal distribution X, the parameters denoted μ and σ are, respectively, the mean and standard deviation of the variable ’ s natural logarithm ( by definition, the variable ’ s logarithm is normally distributed ), which means

The deviation runs east of the original motorway through Brisbane Airport Corporation land and provides a second means of access to the Brisbane Airport.

This means that the difference between a child and its parents for some characteristic is proportional to its parents ' deviation from typical people in the population.

That means if you know the mean and standard deviation, and that the distribution is normal, you know the probability of any future observation.

For example, in an analysis comparing outcomes in a treated and control population, the difference of outcome means < span style =" text-decoration: overline "> Y </ span > − < span style =" text-decoration: overline "> X </ span > would be a direct measure of the effect size, whereas (< span style =" text-decoration: overline "> Y </ span > − < span style =" text-decoration: overline "> X </ span >)/ σ where σ is the common standard deviation of the outcomes in the treated and control groups, would be a standardized effect size.

Aircraft deviation from the optimal path is indicated to the flight crew by means of a display dial ( a carry over from when an analog meter movement would indicate deviation from the course line via voltages sent from the ILS receiver ).

Building on the ideas of the Russian Formalists, the Prague School developed the concept of foregrounding, whereby poetic language stands out from the background of non-literary language by means of deviation ( from the norms of everyday language ) or parallelism.

Finally, Stout ’ s use of radiocarbon dating is to one standard deviation, which means that there is an approximately one third chance that the data offered is inaccurate by up to 100 years on either side.

is an estimator of the common standard deviation of the two samples: it is defined in this way so that its square is an unbiased estimator of the common variance whether or not the population means are the same.

The standard error of the mean ( i. e., of using the sample mean as a method of estimating the population mean ) is the standard deviation of those sample means over all possible samples ( of a given size ) drawn from the population.

Lemert writes: " His acts are repeated and organized subjectively and transformed into active roles and become the social criteria for assigning status ..... When a person begins to employ his deviant behavior or a role based on it as a means of defense, attack, or adjustment to the overt and covert problems created by the consequent societal reaction to him, his deviation is secondary "
