Alain even ventures an immediate application of this principle, and tries to prove geometrically the dogmas defined in the Creed.

Critics of the SAP argue in favor of a weak anthropic principle ( WAP ) similar to the one defined by Brandon Carter, which states that the universe's ostensible fine tuning is the result of selection bias: i. e., only in a universe capable of eventually supporting life will there be living beings capable of observing any such fine tuning, while a universe less compatible with life will go unbeheld.

For instance, it defined chemical engineering to be a " science of itself, the basis of which is ... unit operations " in a 1922 report ; and with which principle, it had published a list of academic institutions which offered " satisfactory " chemical engineering courses.

Canada departed from the principle of nationality being defined in terms of allegiance in 1921.

Ephemeris time was defined in principle by the orbital motion of the Earth around the Sun, ( but its practical implementation was usually achieved in another way, see below ).

Although ephemeris time was defined in principle by the orbital motion of the Earth around the Sun, it was usually measured in practice by the orbital motion of the Moon around the Earth.

However, quantum field theories that are " local " in this sense appear to violate the principle of locality as defined by EPR, but they nevertheless do not violate locality in a more general sense.

In the classical interpretation, probability was defined in terms of the principle of indifference, based on the natural symmetry of a problem, so, e. g. the probabilities of dice games arise from the natural symmetric 6-sidedness of the cube.

He defined this principle of saying in his last days " it's socialism and it's communism .".

They have a different type of border, in principle defined only by the area of settlement of the national group, although many nation states also sought natural borders ( rivers, mountain ranges ).

Perjury operates in American law as an inherited principle of the common law of England, which defined the act as the " willful and corrupt giving, upon a lawful oath, or in any form allowed by law to be substituted for an oath, in a judicial proceeding or course of justice, of a false testimony material to the issue or matter of inquiry.

Popularly known as the Sapir – Whorf hypothesis, or Whorfianism, the principle is often defined as having two versions: ( i ) the strong version that language determines thought and that linguistic categories limit and determine cognitive categories and ( ii ) the weak version that linguistic categories and usage influence thought and certain kinds of non-linguistic behaviour.

Xeer is defined by a few fundamental tenets that are immutable and which closely approximate the principle of jus cogens in international law: These precepts include: a ) payment of blood money ( locally referred to as diya ) for libel, theft, physical harm, rape and death, as well as supplying assistance to relatives ; b ) assuring good inter-clan relations by treating women justly, negotiating with " peace emissaries " in good faith, and sparing the lives of socially protected groups " Birr Magaydo ," ( e. g. children, women, the pious, poets, messengers, sheikhs, and guests ); c ) family obligations such as the payment of dowry, and sanctions for eloping ; d ) rules pertaining to the management of resources such as the use of pasture land, water, and other natural resources ; e ) providing financial support to married female relatives and newlyweds ; f ) donating livestock and other assets to the poor.

This principle allows one to build a local solution to the equations of physics only if that local solution can be extended to a part of a ( not necessarily unique ) global solution, which is well defined throughout the nonsingular regions of the spacetime.

He defined the order of publication and dictated that the principle of editing should be " ways not works.

In ancient Sanskrit drama, Bharata Muni's Natya Shastra defined humour ( hāsyam ) as one of the nine nava rasas, or principle rasas ( emotional responses ), which can be inspired in the audience by bhavas, the imitations of emotions that the actors perform.

A physical law or scientific law is, according to the Oxford English dictionary, " a theoretical principle deduced from particular facts, applicable to a defined group or class of phenomena, and expressible by the statement that a particular phenomenon always occurs if certain conditions be present.

Neorealism holds that the international structure is defined by its ordering principle, which is anarchy, and by the distribution of capabilities, measured by the number of great powers within the international system.

The Democratic Progressive Party does not agree with the " One China principle " as defined by the KMT or Two Chinas.

The OOP languages call this the polymorphism principle, which briefly is defined as " one interface, many implementations ".

Roughly speaking, the uncertainty principle states that complementary variables ( such as a particle's position and momentum, or a field's value and derivative at a point in space ) cannot simultaneously be defined precisely by any given quantum state.

In principle, earlier Eves can also be defined going beyond the species, for example one who is ancestral to both modern humanity and Neanderthals, or, further back, an " Eve " ancestral to all members of genus Homo and chimpanzees in genus Pan.

Serialism of the first type is most specifically defined as the structural principle according to which a recurring series of ordered elements ( normally a set — or row — of pitches or pitch classes ) are used in order or manipulated in particular ways to give a piece unity.

* Argument principle, a theorem in complex analysis about meromorphic functions inside and on a closed contour

Further analysis of this process, known as electromagnetic induction, enabled him to state the principle, now known as Faraday's law of induction, that the potential difference induced in a closed circuit is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop.

Hyperbolas arise in practice in many ways: as the curve representing the function in the Cartesian plane, as the appearance of a circle viewed from within it, as the path followed by the shadow of the tip of a sundial, as the shape of an open orbit ( as distinct from a closed and hence elliptical orbit ), such as the orbit of a spacecraft during a gravity assisted swing-by of a planet or more generally any spacecraft exceeding the escape velocity of the nearest planet, as the path of a single-apparition comet ( one travelling too fast to ever return to the solar system ), as the scattering trajectory of a subatomic particle ( acted on by repulsive instead of attractive forces but the principle is the same ), and so on.

The pan flute or pan pipe is an ancient musical instrument based on the principle of the closed tube, consisting usually of five or more pipes of gradually increasing length ( and, at times, girth ).

Philo of Byzantium and Hero of Alexandria knew of the principle that certain substances, notably air, expand and contract and described a demonstration in which a closed tube partially filled with air had its end in a container of water.

The Novikov self-consistency principle, also known as the Novikov self-consistency conjecture, is a principle developed by Russian physicist Igor Dmitriyevich Novikov in the mid-1980s to solve the problem of paradoxes in time travel, which is theoretically permitted in certain solutions of general relativity ( solutions containing what are known as closed timelike curves ).

However, the Novikov self-consistency principle is intended to go beyond just the statement that history must be consistent, making the additional nontrivial assumption that the universe obeys the same local laws of physics in situations involving time travel that it does in regions of spacetime that lack closed timelike curves.

The principle is typically used to describe closed negative-feedback systems, but applies, in general, to thermodynamically closed and isolated systems in nature, since the second law of thermodynamics ensures that the disequilibrium caused by an instantaneous shock must have a finite half-life.

The transfer principle states that true first order statements about R are also valid in * R. For example, the commutative law of addition, x + y = y + x, holds for the hyperreals just as it does for the reals ; since R is a real closed field, so is * R. Since for all integers n, one also has for all hyperintegers H. The transfer principle for ultrapowers is a consequence of Łoś ' theorem of 1955.

Eric Raymond extends this principle in support of open source security software, saying, " Any security software design that doesn't assume the enemy possesses the source code is already untrustworthy ; therefore, never trust closed source.

BCT1 is used in functional analysis to prove the open mapping theorem, the closed graph theorem and the uniform boundedness principle.

For C, and hence by the Lefschetz principle for every algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, the torsion group of an abelian variety of dimension g is isomorphic to ( Q / Z )< sup > 2g </ sup >.

He closed his keynote speech at the group's launch by citing the " Ten Cannots " of William J. H. Boetcker, adding that they " could well become the guiding principle of the Selsdon Group ".

Some model manufacturers have signed licensing agreements while others have refused on principle or simply closed their business.

The overthrow of the Kuomintang regime in 1949 ended China's " feudal capitalist " system in which education was effectively closed to workers, peasants, and generally females in practical terms despite Sun Yat-Sen's support of general education in principle.

* E. C. Stoner publishes a paper pointing out that for a given value of the principal quantum number ( n ), the number of energy levels of a single electron in the alkali metal spectra in an external magnetic field, where all degenerate energy levels are separated, is equal to the number of electrons in the closed shell of the rare gases for the same value of n. This leads to discovery of the Pauli exclusion principle.

The principle of division followed in the sections of Genesis Rabba was evidently that of the Biblical text itself as fixed at the time of the compilation of this midrash, in accordance with the open and closed paragraphs ( פתוחות and סתומות ) in the Hebrew text of Genesis.
