However, the system is designed, ingeniously and hopefully, so that no one man could initiate a thermonuclear war.

Presupposed in Plato's system is a doctrine of levels of insight, in which a certain kind of detached understanding is alone capable of penetrating to the most sublime wisdom.

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

For the occasion on which everyone already knows everyone else and the host wishes them to meet one or a few honored newcomers, then the `` open house '' system is advantageous because the honored guests are fixed connective points and the drifting guests make and break connections at the door.

The connective system, or network, is tailored to meet the requirements of the objective, and it is therefore not surprising that a military body acting as a single coordinated unit has a different communication network than a factory, a college, or a rural village.

The problem is rather to find out what is actually happening, and this is especially difficult for the reason that `` we are busily being defended from a knowledge of the present, sometimes by the very agencies -- our educational system, our mass media, our statesmen -- on which we have had to rely most heavily for understanding of ourselves ''.

It is an organized system of these things.

This is necessary for a sounder collective defense system.

It is possible that international organization will ultimately supplant the multi-state system, but its proper function for the immediate future is to reform and supplement that system in order to render pluralism more compatible with an interdependent world.

Air Force life is great, the cadet wrote, `` though the fourth-class system is no fun ''.

An adequate system of VA hospitals is better equipped to care for the veterans than any 50 state hospitals.

The highway system is an agency of government, and when it grinds up 40,000 Americans every year the government is destroying its own taxpayers, which is obviously a silly thing for any government to do.

but the government is left with no reserve granary, under the agricultural system it has ordained.

It is the consequence of the system of ideas that constitutes the frame of our international -- and in some degree our domestic -- policy.

The system is composed of three credit services, Federal Land Banks and National Farm Loan Associations, Federal Intermediate ( short-term ) Credit Banks, and Banks for Cooperatives.

Thus if the gyro and platform-controller combination maintains the platform with zero angular deviation about the **yf axis, the system can be rotated with an angular velocity Af if a torque is supplied to the gyro output axis Aj.

Finally, when the accelerometer output is zero, the entire system remains stationary, and the platform is, by definition, leveled.

Another possible source of the suanpan is Chinese counting rods, which operated with a decimal system but lacked the concept of zero as a place holder.

A system at absolute zero still possesses quantum mechanical zero-point energy, the energy of its ground state.

An even stronger assertion is that It is impossible by any procedure to reduce the temperature of a system to zero in a finite number of operations.

A system with a truly negative temperature is not colder than absolute zero.

Because there is no external pressure for the gas to expand against, the work done by or on the system is zero.

Since this process does not involve any heat transfer or work, the First Law of Thermodynamics then implies that the net internal energy change of the system is zero.

The definition of an adiabatic process is that heat transfer to the system is zero,.

The system was revolutionary by including a zero and positional notation.

) So requiring the system to be " closed " here is mathematically equivalent to zero external torque acting on the system:

* The Roman number system was very cumbersome because there was no concept of zero ( or empty space ).

In particular, quantum phase transitions refer to transitions where the temperature is set to zero, and the phases of the system refer to distinct ground states of the Hamiltonian.

For each specific consistent effectively represented axiomatic system for the natural numbers, such as Peano arithmetic, there exists a constant N such that no bit of Ω after the Nth can be proven to be one or zero within that system.

Mathematically, this means that for a causal linear system to be stable all of the poles of its transfer function must have negative-real values, i. e. the real part of all the poles are less than zero.

If a simply stable system response neither decays nor grows over time, and has no oscillations, it is marginally stable: in this case the system transfer function has non-repeated poles at complex plane origin ( i. e. their real and complex component is zero in the continuous time case ).

A special case is a zero byte file ; these files are either an accident ( a result of an aborted disk operation ) or serve as some kind of flag in the file system.

It should be noted that the CSF moves in a pulsatile manner throughout the CSF system with nearly zero net flow.

** A ground bus or earth bus is a conductor used as a zero voltage reference in a system, often connected to ground or earth.

When such a system is subject to an impulse ( or any signal of finite duration ) it will respond with an output waveform which lasts past the duration of the input, eventually decaying exponentially in one or another manner, but never completely settling to zero ( mathematically speaking ).

When a system, for example, n moles of a gas of volume V at pressure p and temperature T, is created or brought to its present state from absolute zero, energy must be supplied equal to its internal energy U plus pV, where pV is the work done in pushing against the ambient ( atmospheric ) pressure.

Various reasons have been suggested for the resistance to the Celsius system in the U. S., including the larger size of each degree Celsius ( resulting in the need for decimals where integer Fahrenheit degrees were adequate for much non-technical work ), the lower zero point in the Fahrenheit system ( which reduces the number of negative signs when measurements such as weather data were averaged ), and the more intuitive alignment of its 0-100 scale to the ordinary range of outdoor temperatures seen in most of the U. S. ( e. g., 0 ° F

variations, most often due to distortions of the original system, are often called local density of states ( LDOS ).

If we cannot stop warfare in our own economic system, how can we expect to abolish it internationally??

And just how far can the Legislature go toward setting up a self-insurance system for the state in the midst of a governor's race ''??

You can install it yourself -- this is a central system that will cool every part of your house.

If your house is to have a forced warm air system, cooling can be a part of it.

You can get a hot water system that will also work for cooling your house.

The total volume of the system above the reference height is Af, and H can be eliminated to obtain an equation for the total potential energy of the system in terms of H.

If tyrosine and a system generating hydrogen peroxide are added to a cell-free homogenate of the thyroid, large quantities of free mono-iodotyrosine can be formed ( Alexander, 1959 ).

Without a system of values there can be no society.

To some extent the system can be considered a Gemeinschaft in which `` social-role occupancies are determined by birth, by attributes such as sex or caste, which are biologically or socially immutable ''.

Since morale is closely related to pattern maintenance and integration, the higher the morale and solidarity, the better the system can solve the problems of the system.

'' The external pattern or external system can be considered as `` group behavior that enables the group to survive in its environment.

A phonemic system can be stated without reference to morphophonemics, but it cannot always be found without morphophonemics.

Fourth, in the segregated school system, during the period before desegregation, how can we assure equal opportunity??

In fact, in the desegregated school system which may have a good many schools with all-Negro population, how can we assure equal opportunity??

Fifth, in the segregated school system or in the all-Negro or all-white schools, how can we encourage better group relations or an improved attitude toward people who do not belong to the group??

But the really controversial aspect of customer-cost imputation arises because of the cost analyst's frequent practice of including, not just those costs that can be definitely earmarked as incurred for the benefit of specific customers but also a substantial fraction of the annual maintenance and capital costs of the secondary ( low-voltage ) distribution system -- a fraction equal to the estimated annual costs of a hypothetical system of minimum capacity.

Certain features we have touched upon: philosophy as a logical, deductive system from which a social science methodology can be built up ; ;

The point is that in a system such as Fromm's which recognizes unconscious motivations, and which rests on certain ethical absolutes, empirical data can be used to support whatever proposition the writer is urging at the moment.

`` Moving one or two teeth can affect the whole system, and an ill-conceived plan of treatment can disrupt the growth pattern of a child's face ''.

Andy told him, `` Bake, I wish you'd talk to Skolman, see if some kind of p. a. system can be rigged up outside.
