:" If I had stated ... the possibility of the introduction or origination of fresh species being a natural, in contradistinction to a miraculous process, I should have raised a host of prejudices against me, which are unfortunately opposed at every step to any philosopher who attempts to address the public on these mysterious subjects ".

Despite assurances against reprisals, the returning Spanish authorities proved to be merciless with the rebels and, in the process of ferreting out participants in the Quito revolt, jailed and abused many innocent citizens.

Using uniformitarianism, which states that one cannot make an appeal to any force or phenomenon which cannot presently be observed ( see catastrophism ), Darwin theorized that the evolutionary process must occur gradually, not in saltations, since saltations are not presently observed, and extreme deviations from the usual phenotypic variation would be more likely to be selected against.

If all water flow has stopped, the loaded waste valve reopens against the now static head, which allows the process to begin again.

During the Second World War, Finland fought twice against the Soviet Union and defended its independence, though in the process it in the 1947 peace settlement ended up ceding a large part of Karelia and some other areas to the Soviet Union.

* 1822 – The Portuguese prince Pedro I of Brazil decides to stay in Brazil against the orders of the Portuguese King João VI, starting the Brazilian independence process.

Marx noted that this was not an intentional process ; rather, no individual or even state can go against the forces of economy.

A Komodo dragon may attempt to speed up the process by ramming the carcass against a tree to force it down its throat, sometimes ramming so forcefully that the tree is knocked down.

Outside and against this process of turning of Marxism into an ideology of domination, however, were various revolutionary tendencies which still drew on Marx's work to inform their struggles and which rejected both social-democratic and Marxist-Leninist versions of his theory.

The slow process of using detectives to investigate patent infringements, and of obtaining injunctions against the infringers, was outpaced by the dynamic rise of new companies in diverse locations.

It is not clear if the process against the Templars was initiated by the Inquisition on the basis of suspected heresy or if the Inquisition itself was exploited by the king of France, Philip the Fair, who wanted the knights ' wealth.

President Obama also issued an executive order expanding existing sanctions against individuals who violate human rights to include those who threaten Burma ’ s political restructuring process.

This process of collectivization included " dekulakization ", in which kulaks were forced off their land, persecuted, and killed in a wave of terror unleashed by the Soviet state against them.

Josephus does not record any attempts by the Sicarii to counterattack the besiegers during this process, a significant difference from his accounts of other sieges against Jewish fortresses.

The liberal Foreign Investment Act of 1990 provides guarantees against nationalisation, freedom to remit capital and profits, currency convertibility, and a process for settling disputes equitably.

During negotiations, anger disrupts the process by reducing the level of trust, clouding parties ' judgment, narrowing parties ' focus of attention and changing their central goal from reaching agreement to retaliating against the other side.

A process ( judicial investigation ) against the memory of Boniface was held and collected testimonies that alleged many heretical opinions of Boniface VIII.

It began to brighten gradually in the 1700s and has continued to brighten to the present day ; this is part of the process of stellar evolution.

At various stages of stellar evolution, the nuclei required for this process will be exhausted, and the core will collapse, causing it to become denser and hotter.

* CNO cycle-a special stellar nuclear fusion process

Once the stellar core is sufficiently dense, hydrogen becomes steadily converted into helium through nuclear fusion, releasing energy in the process.

Star formation is the process by which dense regions within molecular clouds in interstellar space, commonly referred to as " stellar nurseries ", collapse into spheres of plasma to form stars.

As a branch of astronomy star formation includes the study of the interstellar medium and giant molecular clouds ( GMC ) as precursors to the star formation process and the study of young stellar objects and planet formation as its immediate products.

With the formation of stars, heavier nuclei were created from hydrogen and helium by stellar nucleosynthesis, a process that continues today.

" Hydrogen burning " is an expression that astronomers sometimes use for the stellar process that results in the nuclear fusion of four protons to form a nucleus of helium-4.

Inaccessibility of the faculty was possibly a side effect of Harvard's original admissions process, which may have annoyed faculty by giving them less than stellar students.

Dust and possibly water ice from this belt migrates inward because of drag from the stellar wind and a process by which stellar radiation causes dust grains to slowly spiral toward the star, known as the Poynting – Robertson effect.

When this happens, via a process of collapse and fragmentation of the cloud, stars are born ( see stellar evolution for a lengthier description ).

These are thought to form in stellar nurseries, and quickly fragment into stable multiple stars, which in the process may eject components as galactic high velocity stars.

The star formation process naturally results in the appearance of accretion disks around young stellar objects.

There are no " real " blue giants, stable stars of classification OxIII or BxIII ; instead, stars such as Bellatrix ( B2III ) are middle-aged massive stars which are in the process of becoming massive bright giants ( class II ), very much unlike red giant stars such as Arcturus ( K1III ) which represent the final stage of stellar evolution for lower mass stars and are stable as giants.

A blue supergiant or a red supergiant, and also sometimes, rarely, a yellow supergiant, can all go supernova as the process of a supernova is not related to the state of the star's envelope but to processes within its stellar core.

The authors assumed that this process was solely responsible for the p-nuclei and proposed that it occurs in the hydrogen-shell ( see also stellar evolution ) of a star exploding as a type II supernova.

The burst itself may be triggered by a close encounter with another galaxy ( such as M81 / M82 ), a collision with another galaxy ( such as the Antennae ), or by another process which forces material into the center of the galaxy ( such as a stellar bar ).

This proved to be a revolutionary basis in stellar cosmology, since it implied that the star formation process in the Galaxy is going on even today and the stars are born in groups.

In general, a given stellar nucleosynthetic process alters the proportions of only a few elements or isotopes, so a star or gas sample with nonzero < nowiki ></ nowiki > values may be showing the signature of particular nuclear processes.

The book received mixed reviews from critics, who generally agreed that Amos ' writing on the music industry and recording process was the stellar part of the book.

The stellar classification of B2 IV suggests this is a subgiant star that is exhausting the hydrogen at its core and is in the process of evolving away from the main sequence.

Using submillimetre observations, astronomers examine molecular clouds and dark cloud cores with a goal of clarifying the process of star formation from earliest collapse to stellar birth.

This star has a stellar classification of B2 IV, making it a subgiant star that is in the process of evolving away from the main sequence stage.
