Thus although most species in the order are herbaceous, some no more than 15 cm high, there are a number of climbers ( e. g. some species of Asparagus ), as well as several genera forming trees ( e. g. Agave, Cordyline, Yucca, Dracaena ), some of which can exceed 10 m in height.

Thus, almost all positive integers are composite ( not prime ), however there are still an infinite number of primes.

The evaluation order does not affect the value of such expressions, and it can be shown that the same holds for expressions containing any number of operations .< ref > Thus, when is associative, the evaluation order can be left unspecified without causing ambiguity, by omitting the parentheses and writing simply:

If a description of s, d ( s ), is of minimal length ( i. e. it uses the fewest number of characters ), it is called a minimal description of s. Thus, the length of d ( s ) ( i. e. the number of characters in the description ) is the Kolmogorov complexity of s, written K ( s ).

In mathematics, an associative algebra A is an associative ring that has a compatible structure of a vector space over a certain field K or, more generally, of a module over a commutative ring R. Thus A is endowed with binary operations of addition and multiplication satisfying a number of axioms, including associativity of multiplication and distributivity, as well as compatible multiplication by the elements of the field K or the ring R.

Thus, when the fluid finally does strike the object, it is forced to change its properties -- temperature, density, pressure, and Mach number -- in an extremely violent and irreversible fashion called a shock wave.

Thus, in the mid-1990s the army sought to reduce the number of active-duty generals.

Thus the discovery report by the Berkeley group reads: " It is suggested that element 97 be given the name berkelium ( symbol Bk ) after the city of Berkeley in a manner similar to that used in naming its chemical homologue terbium ( atomic number 65 ) whose name was derived from the town of Ytterby, Sweden, where the rare earth minerals were first found.

Thus, a single " rule ," like mapping every real number x to x < sup > 2 </ sup >, can lead to distinct functions and, depending on whether the images under that rule are understood to be reals or, more restrictively, non-negative reals.

Thus, a PICMG backplane can provide any number and any mix of ISA, PCI, PCI-X, and PCI-e slots, limited only by the ability of the SBC to interface to and drive those slots.

Thus, a number of Allied soldiers received the Bronze Star Medal in World War II, as well as U. N. soldiers in the Korean War, Vietnamese and allied forces in the Vietnam War, and coalition forces in recent military operations such as the Gulf War, Operation Enduring Freedom and the Iraq War.

Thus, all carbon isotopes have nearly identical chemical properties because they all have six protons and six electrons, even though carbon atoms may differ in number of neutrons.

Thus, a poison that covers surface randomly will tend to reduce the number of uncontaminated large planes but leave proportionally more smaller sites free, thus changing the hydrogenation vs. hydrogenolysis selectivity.

Thus if one chooses an infinite number of points in the closed unit interval, some of those points must get arbitrarily close to some real number in that space.

Thus, Alexandrov topologies on X are in one-to-one correspondence with preorders on X.

Thus, there is freshness not only in the individual movements of the dance but in the shape of their continuity as well.

Thus jazz is transmuted into something holy, the sacred road to integration of being.

Thus the fictional detective is much more than a simple businessman.

Thus the cocktail party would appear to be the ideal system, but there is one weakness.

Thus in both types attention is focused on the community itself, and its phenomenological life.

Thus, it is no mystical intuition, but an analyzable conception to say that man and his tradition can `` fall out of existence ''.

Thus human perception and human volition is the immanent cause of all social change and this most truly when the change reaches the civilizational level.

Thus, circular motion is itself one of the essential characteristics of completely perfect celestial existence.

Thus, in no ordinary sense of ' simplicity ' is the Ptolemaic theory simpler than the Copernican.

Thus Burns's `` My love is like a red, red rose '' and Hopkins' `` The thunder-purple sea-beach, plumed purple of Thunder '' although clearly intelligible in content, hardly present ideas of the sort with which we are here concerned.

Thus science is the savior of mankind, and in this respect Childhood's End only blueprints in greater detail the vision of the future which, though not always so directly stated, has nevertheless been present in the minds of most science-fiction writers.

Thus the copywriter in the world of the space merchants is the person who in earlier ages might have been a lyric poet, the person `` capable of putting together words that stir and move and sing ''.

Thus there is a clearer division of authority, administrative and legislative.

Thus, as a development program is being launched, commitments and obligations must be entered into in a given year which may exceed by twofold or threefold the expenditures to be made in that year.

Thus, the need for the B-70 as a strategic weapon system is doubtful.

Thus technical efficiency is achieved at the expense of actual experience.

Thus, there is an added incentive to stay on the job.

Thus, the Span of its ossification was shortened and the center's ability to `` catch up '' in ossification is demonstrated.

Thus T is not diagonalizable.

Thus Af is divisible by the minimal polynomial P of T, i.e., Af divides Af.

Thus, the study of the solutions to the equation Af is reduced to the study of the space of solutions of a differential equation of the form Af.

Thus in the three-dice example Af, Af, and the independence assumption imply that the probability that the three dice fall ace, not-ace, ace in that order is Af.

Thus if E is sufficiently small, there can be only one intersection of C and Af near Q, for if there were more than one intersection for every E then the difference between C and Af near Q would not be a monotone function.

Thus Af is also continuous at Af, and in a neighborhood of Af which does not contain a tangent point.
