The first published work documenting an oral history source was in 1999 and the first publishing is believed to be a 1980 children's book, so it is difficult to evaluate the veracity of these claims, which are not accepted by quilt historians or scholars of pre-Civil-War America.

The integral representation for these types of series is interesting because the integral can often be evaluated using asymptotic expansion or saddle-point techniques ; by contrast, the forward difference series can be extremely hard to evaluate numerically, because the binomial coefficients grow rapidly for large n.

One can then evaluate the probability amplitude at the photon's final point ; next, one can integrate over all of these arrows ( see vector sum ), and square the length of the result to obtain the probability that this photon will reflect off of the mirror in the pertinent fashion.

Obviously on hands like these, it does not suffice to evaluate each hand individually.

In theory, if all these events could be accounted for, and there were a known way to evaluate these events, the seemingly unpredictable behaviour would become predictable.

Given the lack of concrete historical knowledge about one of the most potent figures in British mythology, it is unlikely that any definitive conclusions about the claims for these places will ever be established ; nevertheless it is both interesting and important to try to evaluate the body of evidence which does exist and examine it critically.

repeatedly using integration by parts can evaluate integrals such as these, each application of the theorem lowers the power of x by one.

Violinists and others have criticized these tests on various grounds such as that they are not double-blind ( in most cases ), the judges are often not experts, and the sounds of violins are hard to evaluate objectively and reproducibly.

Critical questions are raised throughout, and the reader is compelled not only to seek answers to these questions, but also to critically evaluate the questions as well as their answers.

Barthes was able to use these distinctions to evaluate how certain key ‘ functions ’ work in forming characters.

From the service consumer's point of view, these characteristics make it difficult, or even impossible, to evaluate or compare services prior to experiencing the service delivery.

The theory says that people make decisions based on the potential value of losses and gains rather than the final outcome, and that people evaluate these losses and gains using interesting heuristics.

However, long-term studies necessary to evaluate these effects are lacking.

Archaeoastronomy is also closely associated with historical astronomy, the use of historical records of heavenly events to answer astronomical problems and the history of astronomy, which uses written records to evaluate past astronomical practice.

They concluded: " Based on our analysis of gait and problems inherent in estimating subject dimensions, it is our opinion that it is not possible to evaluate the identity of the film subject with any confidence.

* To exercise the launch teams ability to evaluate, prioritize and respond to problems in an integrated manner within a time critical environment.

This is done to predict problems with the mother ; confirm that a pregnancy is present inside the uterus ; estimate the gestational age ; determine the number of fetuses and placentae ; evaluate for an ectopic pregnancy and first trimester bleeding ; and assess for early signs of anomalies.

The former relies on a group of qualified engineers to evaluate problems, rank them in order of importance and then recommend solutions.

The, developed by the Japanese government's initiative " Earth Simulator Project ", was a highly parallel vector supercomputer system for running global climate models to evaluate the effects of global warming and problems in solid earth geophysics.

Marketing research is " the function that links the consumers, customers, and public to the marketer through information — information used to identify and define marketing opportunities and problems ; generate, refine, and evaluate marketing actions ; monitor marketing performance ; and improve understanding of marketing as a process.

In problem solving requiring the pooling of data and judgments, or " insight ," Bavelas suggested that the ability to evaluate partial results, to look at alternatives, and to restructure problems fell off rapidly when one person was able to assume a more central ( that is, more controlling ) position in the information flow.

When using PBL, learners in the classroom become researchers and often work in small groups to analyze problems, determine solutions, and evaluate solutions ( Hoffman and Ritchie, 1997 ).

* The Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy ( ISTPP ) was founded by John Hagelin to identify, scientifically evaluate, and implement proven, prevention-oriented, forward-looking solutions to critical national and global problems ;

Problem-solving skills include the ability to recognize and define problems, invent and implement solutions, and track and evaluate results.

Officers used their judgment to evaluate each offender and develop a treatment approach to the personal problems that presumably had led to crime.

Within assigned areas, these functional subunits gather information ; compare and evaluate legislative alternatives ; identify policy problems and propose solutions ; select, determine, and report measures for full chamber consideration ; monitor executive branch performance ( oversight ); and investigate allegations of wrongdoing.

To overcome these problems, we think that the quantitative evaluation might not be the only way to evaluate summaries, and a qualitative automatic evaluation would be also important.

The AAAS stated that the responsibility for discovering problems with the article lay with the initial peer reviewers, and declined to evaluate the article and concluded with a statement that the decision not to review the article was neither an endorsement, nor a criticism of it.

The government also promised to send safety supervision teams to 45 coal mines with serious gas problems and invite colliery safety experts to evaluate safety situations in coal mines and formulate prevention measures.

By relying on ideals, she claimed people become unable to think and evaluate problems and solutions by themselves, but simply fall back on their beliefs for " pre-fabricated answers " to any problem they encounter.

If sound is presented through headphones, and has been recorded via another head with different-shaped outer ear surfaces, the directional patterns differ from the listener's own, and problems will appear when trying to evaluate directions in the median plane with these foreign ears.

Masaya continually emits large amounts of sulfur dioxide gas ( from the active Santiago crater ) and volcanologists study this ( amongst other signs ) to better understand the behavior of the volcano and also evaluate the impact of acid rain and the potential for health problems.

Judges can evaluate this speech on any criteria, but usually the style of delivery ( measured by the fluidity of the speech as well as the hand gestures, eye contact, memorization, posture, and tone ) and content ( the proof offered to prove the claims of problems ) serve as fair and impartial indicators.

Konopasek's goal in inventing the TK Solver concept was to create a problem solving environment in which a given mathematical model built to solve a specific problem could be used to solve related problems ( with a redistribution of input and output variables ) with minimal or no additional programming required: once a user enters an equation, TK Solver can evaluate that equation as is — without isolating unknown variables on one side of the equals sign.
