The Rusk belief in balanced defense, replacing the Dulles theory of massive retaliation, removes a grave danger that has existed.

Falling somewhere in a category between Einstein's theory and sand fleas -- difficult to see but undeniably there, nevertheless -- is the tropical green `` city '' of Islandia, a string of offshore islands that has almost no residents, limited access and an unlimited future.

Nevertheless, the theory that the determining influence of the hypothalamic balance has a profound influence on the clinical behavior of neuropsychiatric patients has not yet been tested on an adequate number of patients.

We should expect that general phonologic theory should be as adequate for tone as for consonants and vowels, but it has not been.

Social theory has no more right to expect results from meaningless questions, than physics has the right to expect a theological solution to the wave-particle controversy.

This theory has been put so clearly and precisely that it deserves criticism of the same kind, and this I will do my best to supply.

-- On the basis of a differentiability assumption in function space, it is possible to prove that, for materials having the property that the stress is given by a functional of the history of the deformation gradients, the classical theory of infinitesimal viscoelasticity is valid when the deformation has been infinitesimal for all times in the past.

-- The theory of elasticity of Gaussian networks has been developed on a more general basis and the equations of state relating variables of pressure, volume, temperature, stress and strain have been precisely formulated.

Modern physics has developed the theory that all matter consists of minute waves of energy.

Group selection theory has criticized by many other evolutionary scientists.

Connes has applied his work in areas of mathematics and theoretical physics, including number theory, differential geometry and particle physics.

Tylor also theorized about the origins of religious beliefs in human beings, proposing a theory of animism as the earliest stage, and noting that " religion " has many components, of which he believed the most important to be belief in supernatural beings ( as opposed to moral systems, cosmology, etc .).

Later in the 1960s and 1970s, Edmund Leach and his students Mary Douglas and Nur Yalman, among others, introduced French structuralism in the style of Lévi-Strauss ; while British anthropology has continued to emphasize social organization and economics over purely symbolic or literary topics, differences among British, French, and American sociocultural anthropologies have diminished with increasing dialogue and borrowing of both theory and methods.

Anthropology has been used in Britain to provide an alternative explanation for the Financial crisis of 2007 – 2010 to the technical explanations rooted in economic and political theory.

Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory has several advantages over Arrhenius theory.

*: The article on Whorf states " Drawing on Nietzsche's ideas of perspectivism Alfred Korzybski developed the theory of general semantics which has been compared to Whorf's notions of linguistic relativity.

A common theory about the building is that the rounded feature to the left of centre, terminating at the top in a turret and cross, represents the lance of Saint George ( patron saint of Catalonia, Gaudi's home ), which has been plunged into the back of the dragon.

It occupies a central place in modern mathematics and has multiple conceptual connections with such diverse fields as complex analysis, topology and number theory.

Within algebraic geometry itself, his theory of schemes has become the universally accepted language for all further technical work.

His construction of new cohomology theories has left deep consequences for algebraic number theory, algebraic topology, and representation theory.

His creation of topos theory has had an impact on set theory and logic.

And it is clearly argued by Lord Percy of Newcastle, in his remarkable long essay, The Heresy Of Democracy, and in a more general way by Voegelin, in his New Science Of Politics, that this same Rousseauan idea, descending through European democracy, is the source of Marx's theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat.

In this connection, it might be noted that the theory of games was a mathematical discovery long before its uses in political science were exploited.

Despite its rather long intellectual history, alienation is still a promising hypothesis and not a verified theory.

The most long standing and popularised theory has been the attempts to link Assyrian ancestry to the ancient Germans.

The Gaussian theory, however, is only true so long as the angles made by all rays with the optical axis ( the symmetrical axis of the system ) are infinitely small, i. e. with infinitesimal objects, images and lenses ; in practice these conditions are not realized, and the images projected by uncorrected systems are, in general, ill defined and often completely blurred, if the aperture or field of view exceeds certain limits.

Claude Shannon proved, using information theory considerations, that any theoretically unbreakable cipher must have keys which are at least as long as the plaintext, and used only once: one-time pad.

Proofs in computability theory often invoke the Church – Turing thesis in an informal way to establish the computability of functions while avoiding the ( often very long ) details which would be involved in a rigorous, formal proof.

This theory also claims there can be only one rightful sovereign ruling all under heaven at a time but throughout Chinese history there have been many contentious and long periods of disunity where the question of legitimacy is moot ; see also Imperial Seal of China.

The neoclassical synthesis refers to the reconciliation of Keynesian economics with neoclassical economics, stating that Keynesianism is correct in the short run, with the economy following neoclassical theory in the long run.

He says that the view that mind is an epiphenomenon of brain activity is not consistent with evolutionary theory, because if mind were functionless, it would have disappeared long ago, as it would not have been favoured by evolution.

Trace decay theory explains memories that are stored in both short term and long term memory system.

This theory was eventually rejected, and scientists now believe that the giraffe's neck arose through Darwinian natural selection — that ancestral giraffes with long necks thereby had a competitive advantage that better enabled them to reproduce and pass on their genes.

The other main theory, the sexual selection hypothesis, proposes that the long necks evolved as a secondary sexual characteristic, giving males an advantage in " necking " contests ( see below ) to establish dominance and obtain access to sexually receptive females.

The first and, for a long time, most popular theory regarding the composition of Greek fire held that its chief ingredient was saltpeter, making it an early form of gunpowder.

After examining the long history of empirical research, Bowen, Hollander and Viane concluded: " Recent tests of the factor abundance theory theory and its developed form into many-commodity and many-factor case that directly examine the H-O-V equations also indicate the rejection of the theory.

However, Systems theory remained popular in the social sciences long after its demise in the physical and biological sciences.

Unlike the short-term business cycle, the long wave of this theory is not accepted by current mainstream economics.

The Marxist scholar Ernest Mandel revived interest in long wave theory with his 1964 essay predicting the end of the long boom after five years and in his Alfred Marshall lectures in 1979.

However, in Mandel's theory, there are no long " cycles ", only distinct epochs of faster and slower growth spanning 20 – 25 years.

For example, the physiological processes of sorting and encoding information and events into short term memory and long term memory are important to educators working under the cognitive theory.

In his treatise De pictura ( 1435 ) he explains the theory, of the accumulation of people, animals, and buildings, which create harmony amongst each other, and " hold the eye of the learned and unlearned spectator for a long while with a certain sense of pleasure and emotion ".

Modern evolutionary theory defines fitness not by how long an organism lives, but by how successful it is at reproducing.
