for example, the mode of bravery to this anonymous folk poem: `` They brought me news that Spring is in the plains And Ahmad's blood the crimson tulip stains ; ;

For the family is the simplest example of just such a unit, composed of people, which gives us both some immunity from, and a way of dealing with, other people.

This almost trivial example is nevertheless suggestive, for there are some elements in common between the antique fear that the days would get shorter and shorter and our present fear of war.

Perhaps the most illuminating example of the reduction of fear through understanding is derived from our increased knowledge of the nature of disease.

Beckett's own work is an example.

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

His name is Praisegod Piepsam, and he is rather fully described as to his clothing and physiognomy in a way which relates him to a sinister type in the author's repertory -- he is a forerunner of those enigmatic strangers in `` Death In Venice '', for example, who represent some combination of cadaver, exotic, and psychopomp.

Gustaf Vasa is a superb example, and Charles 10,, the conqueror of Denmark, hardly less so.

For example, suppose a man wearing a $200 watch, driving a 1959 Rolls Royce, stops to ask a man on the sidewalk, `` What time is it ''??

In the extreme and oversimplified example suggested in Figure 3, the organization is more easily understood and more predictable in behavior.

The assumptions upon which the example shown in Figure 3 is based are: ( A ) One man can direct about six subordinates if the subordinates are chosen carefully so that they do not need too much personal coaching, indoctrinating, etc..

This is an unsolved problem which probably has never been seriously investigated, although one frequently hears the comment that we have insufficient specialists of the kind who can compete with the Germans or Swiss, for example, in precision machinery and mathematics, or the Finns in geochemistry.

In the calm which follows the reading of a poem, for example, is the effect produced by the enforced quiet, by the musical quality of words and rhythm, by the sentiments or sense of the poem, by the associations with earlier readings, if it is familiar, by the boost to the self-esteem for the semi-literate, by the diversion of attention, by the sense of security in a legitimized withdrawal, by a kind license for some variety of fantasy life regarded as forbidden, or by half-conscious ideas about the magical power of words??

English philosopher Samuel Alexander's debt to Wordsworth and Meredith is a recent interesting example, as also A. N. Whitehead's understanding of the English romantics, chiefly Shelley and Wordsworth.

In his book Civilization And Ethics Albert Schweitzer faces the moral problems which arise when moral law is recognized in business life, for example.

Easily the best known of these three novels is The Space Merchants, a good example of a science-fiction dystopia which extrapolates much more than the impact of science on human life, though its most important warning is in this area, namely as to the use to which discoveries in the behavioral sciences may be put.

And to do this requires first of all the kind of information about people which is provided by the scientists in industrial anthropology and consumer research, who, for example, tell Courtenay that three days is the `` optimum priming period for a closed social circuit to be triggered with a catalytic cue-phrase '' -- which means that an effective propaganda technique is to send an idea into circulation and then three days later reinforce or undermine it.

One specific example is a secret `` fraternity '' which will `` coordinate anti-Communist efforts ''.

In propositional logic, associativity is a valid rule of replacement for expressions in logical proofs.

is an example of commutativity, not associativity, because the operand sequence changed when the 2 and 5 switched places.

Ternary associativity is ( abc ) de

N-ary associativity is a string of length n +( n-1 ) with any n adjacent elements bracketed.

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.

In abstract algebra, power associativity is a property of a binary operation which is a weak form of associativity.

This is stronger than merely saying that ( xx ) x = x ( xx ) for every x in the algebra, but weaker than alternativity or associativity, which requires that ( xy ) z = x ( yz ) for every x, y, and z in the algebra.

This is generally justified because in most applications ( e. g. all examples in this article ) associativity holds, which makes this notion a generalization of the left / right inverse relative to an identity.

They do, however, have the property of power associativity, which can be stated as for any element < var > x </ var > of, the power is well-defined.

Operator precedence is also borrowed from C, but with different operator associativity rules to resolve the ambiguity of what comes first in a sequence of equal precedence operators.

In C, the associativity is left-to-right for most operators ; in C shell, it's right-to-left.

* Lie ring: a ringoid whose additive monoid is an abelian group, but whose multiplicative operation satisfies the Jacobi identity rather than associativity.

Often associativity is replaced with a different identity, such as alternation, the Jacobi identity, or the Jordan identity.

That is, the associativity requirement is now taken over by the associator of the hom-category.

What is new here is that the above expresses the requirement for associativity without any explicit reference to individual morphisms in the enriched category C — again, these diagrams are for morphisms in hom-category M, and not in C — thus making the concept of associativity of composition meaningful in the general case where the hom-objects C ( a, b ) are abstract, and C itself need not even have any notion of individual morphism.

It retains an algebraic property called power associativity, meaning that if is a sedenion,, but loses the property of being an alternative algebra and hence cannot be a composition algebra.

This is puzzling to an outsider conscious of the classic tradition of liberalism, because it is clear that these Democrats who are left-of-center are at opposite poles from the liberal Jefferson, who held that the best government was the least government.

In fact it has caused us to give serious thought to moving our residence south, because it is not easy for the most objective Southerner to sit calmly by when his host is telling a roomful of people that the only way to deal with Southerners who oppose integration is to send in troops and shoot the bastards down.

Had the situation been reversed, had, for instance, England been the enemy in 1898 because of issues of concern chiefly to New England, there is little doubt that large numbers of Southerners would have happily put on their old Confederate uniforms to fight as allies of Britain.

But it is more than irony: one of the main reasons why nationalism is no longer a tenable concept is because it has spread throughout the planet.

The `` approximate '' is important, because even after the order of the work has been established by the chance method, the result is not inviolable.

Often it is recognized that all the details of the pattern may not be essential to the outcome but, because the pattern was empirically determined and not developed through theoretical understanding, one is never quite certain which behavior elements are effective, and the whole pattern becomes ritualized.

Yet often fear persists because, even with the most rigid ritual, one is never quite free from the uneasy feeling that one might make some mistake or that in every previous execution one had been unaware of the really decisive act.

Or is it relevant because it teaches us something useful to know about ourselves??

I knew that a conversation with the author would not settle such questions, because a man is not the same as his writing: in the last analysis, the questions had to be settled by the work itself.

I suggested that one must let it in because it is the truth, but Beckett did not take to the word truth.

That is why the form itself becomes a preoccupation, because it exists as a problem separate from the material it accommodates.

It is because there is not only darkness but also light that our situation becomes inexplicable.

If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

Jazz is good not only because it promotes wholeness but because of its decided sexual effect.

It is worth dwelling in some detail on the crisis of this story, because it brings together a number of characteristic elements and makes of them a curious, riddling compound obscurely but centrally significant for Mann's work.
