While the former observation was eventually retracted, the latter eventually became associated with the < sup > 259 </ sup > Rf isotope.

While sociobiology is predicated on the observation that genes do affect behavior, it is perfectly consistent to be a sociobiologist while arguing that measured IQ variations between individuals reflect mainly cultural or economic rather than genetic factors.

While this observation by some group supported the d symmetry of the HTS, other groups could not observe it.

While most of his contemporaries and others since have regarded Hunter as a great anatomist, he undertook anatomy not only because it was practical and allowed for the direct observation of nature in the true Baconian tradition (" his mode of studying nature was … strictly Baconian.

While there has been a recent proposal relating to observation of naked singularities, and doubly special relativity, as a part of a program called loop quantum cosmology, as of now there is no experimental observation for which loop quantum gravity makes a prediction not made by the Standard Model or general relativity ( a problem that plagues all current theories of quantum gravity ).

While at Bicêtre, Pinel did away with bleeding, purging, and blistering in favor of a therapy that involved close contact with and careful observation of patients.

While the margay was not successful in catching one of the monkeys, this represents the first observation of a Neotropical predator employing this type of mimicry.

While easily confused at a distance or without close observation, there are many different characteristics of common large bees and wasps which can be used to identify them.

While the object or phenomenon of interest ( the state ) may not be directly measured, there exists some other variable that can be detected and measured ( the observation ), which may be related to the object of interest through the use of a data-derived computer model.

While his natural theories were later disproven, his emphasis on observation made him the " first of the moderns " who eventually developed the

While at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge ( 1946 – 1950 ) Bracewell worked on observation and theory of upper atmospheric ionisation, contributing to experimental technique ( 1948 ), explaining solar effects ( 1949 ), and distinguishing two layers below the E-layer ( 1952 ), work recognised by the Duddell Premium.

While other methods of research — case study, interview, and naturalistic observation — are used by psychologists, the method of randomized experimentation remains the preferred method for testing hypotheses in scientific psychology.

While most of the murals have been restored, a small segment ( the spiral stairway exit to the observation platform ) was not restored but durably painted over with epoxy surfacing.

While many books and articles were written during the Turk's life about how it worked, most were inaccurate, drawing incorrect inferences from external observation.

While at Goražde, Private Shaun Taylor of C Company was killed during an engagement with Bosnian-Serb forces while manning an observation post.

While he thought of himself primarily as a sociologist, it was his commitment to close social observation and ability to turn these into practical solutions for city design and improvement that earned him a ‘ revered place amongst the founding fathers of the British town planning movement ’.

While Sydenham's natural history method has doubtless been the chief ground of his great posthumous fame, there can be no question that another reason for the admiration of posterity was that which is indicated by RG Latham, when he says, " I believe that the moral element of a liberal and candid spirit went hand in hand with the intellectual qualifications of observation, analysis and comparison.

While Smiley does research at the Circus, Toby Esterhase, the former head of the Circus's " lamplighters " ( covert surveillance operations ) section, sets up a team in Bern to keep Grigoriev under observation.

While it is unclear what the composition of the monoliths is, they clearly have mass, which is about the only observation that can be made.

While this observation was not new, De Geer was the first geologist to exploit its potential application.

While a number of interesting celestial objects are readily identified by the naked eye, sometimes with the aid of a star chart, many others are so faint or inconspicuous that technical means are necessary to locate them.

While a character with Pattern, Logrus or Conjuration can acquire virtually any object, players can choose to spend character points to obtain objects with particular virtues-unbreakability, or a mind of their own.

While special relativity constrains objects in the universe from moving faster with respect to one another than the speed of light, there is no such constraint in general relativity.

While conducting a program of observations designed to uncover near-Earth objects, the Shoemakers and Levy discovered Comet Shoemaker – Levy 9 on the night of March 24, 1993 in a photograph taken with the Schmidt telescope at the Palomar Observatory in California.

While there, they went to the Hayden Planetarium and walked around the museum's exhibits of space objects, such as meteorites, and displays of dinosaurs and animals in natural settings.

While cyberspace should not be confused with the Internet, the term is often used to refer to objects and identities that exist largely within the communication network itself, so that a Website, for example, might be metaphorically said to " exist in cyberspace.

While objects naturally follow a straight path ( due to inertia ), this centripetal acceleration describes the circular motion path caused by a centripetal force.

While diffraction occurs whenever propagating waves encounter such changes, its effects are generally most pronounced for waves where the wavelength is roughly similar to the dimensions of the diffracting objects.

While this method, now known as the triboelectric effect, is capable of lifting light objects and even generating sparks, it is extremely inefficient.

While some scientists have claimed other objects ( such as Abell 1835 IR1916 ) have higher redshifts ( and therefore are seen in an earlier stage of the Universe's evolution ), IOK-1's age and composition have been more reliably established.

While dining in the magical abode of the Fisher King, Perceval witnesses a wondrous procession in which youths carry magnificent objects from one chamber to another, passing before him at each course of the meal.

While most asteroids are composed primarily of rock and metal, Kuiper belt objects are composed largely of frozen volatiles ( termed " ices "), such as methane, ammonia and water.

While these objects may be anything ( such as " tables " or " chairs "), mathematicians are usually interested in particular, more abstract, classes of such objects.

While the title states that it is naive, which is usually taken to mean without axioms, the book does introduce all the axioms of Zermelo – Fraenkel set theory and gives correct and rigorous definitions for basic objects.

While many standard cases of universals are also typically regarded as abstract objects ( such as humanity ), abstract objects are not necessarily universals.

While the majority of plutinos have low orbital inclinations, a substantial number of them follow orbits similar to that of Pluto, with inclinations in the 10 – 25 ° range and eccentricities around 0. 2 – 0. 25, resulting in perihelia inside ( or close to ) the orbit of Neptune and aphelia close to the main Kuiper belt's outer edge ( where objects have 1: 2 resonance with Neptune ).

While its use for communicating information has been completely superseded by electronic systems, pneumatic tubes are still widely used for transporting small valuable objects, or where convenience and speed in a local environment is useful.

* While the seemingly " exotic " behavior of matter posited by quantum mechanics and relativity theory become more apparent when dealing with particles of extremely small size or velocities approaching the speed of light, the laws of classical Newtonian physics remain accurate in predicting the behavior of the vast majority of " large " objects ( on the order of the size of large molecules or bigger ) at velocities much smaller than the velocity of light.

While the nature of these objects was controversial until as recently as the early 1980s, there is now a scientific consensus that a quasar is a compact region in the center of a massive galaxy surrounding its central supermassive black hole.

While tracing garbage collectors can impact efficiency severely via context switching and cache line faults, they collect relatively infrequently, while accessing objects is done continually.

While the sharp objects along a rose stem are commonly called " thorns ", they are technically prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis ( the outer layer of tissue of the stem ).

While OCaml programming is statically type-checked, uses of the < tt > Marshal </ tt > module may break type guarantees, as there is no way to check whether an unmarshalled stream represents objects of the expected type.
