I was having lunch not long ago ( apologies to N. V. Peale ) with three distinguished historians ( one specializing in the European Middle Ages, one in American history, and one in the Far East ), and I asked them if they could name instances where the general mores had been radically changed with `` deliberate speed, majestic instancy '' ( Francis Thompson's words for the Hound Of Heaven's Pursuit ) by judicial fiat.

All research within the United States contracted for, sponsored, cosponsored, or authorized under authority of this Act, shall be provided for in such manner that all information, uses, products, processes, patents, and other developments resulting from such research developed by Government expenditure will ( with such exceptions and limitations, if any, as the Secretary may find to be necessary in the interest of national defense ) be available to the general public.

It seems reasonable that if general nuclear war is not to be one cataclysmic act of burning each other's citizens to cinders, we must have a manned strategic force of long-endurance aircraft capable of going into China or Russia to find and destroy their strategic forces which continued to threaten us.

Of majestic build, rubicund and slash-mouthed, he resembled the late General Winfield Scott, who was said to be the most imposing general of his century, if not of all centuries.

Some general things to look for in a site, if you haven't already bought one, are accessibility, water drainage, and orientation.

We can see the general characteristics of the earlier decade if we look at two poems of very different qualities: `` Revulsion '' ( 1866 ) and `` Neutral Tones '' ( 1867 ).

The high casualty figures of the Union alarmed the North ; Grant had lost a third of his army, and Lincoln asked what Grant's plans were, to which the general replied, " I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer.

In the British general election the following year, Michael Howard promised to work towards having the prohibition removed if the Conservative Party gained a majority of seats in the House of Commons, but the election was won by Blair's Labour Party.

Though respected for their contributions to various academic disciplines ( respectively mathematics, linguistics, and literature ), the three men became known to the general public only by making often-controversial and disputed pronouncements on politics and public policy that would not be regarded as noteworthy if offered by a medical doctor or skilled tradesman.

In an interview with Metro in September 2006 she stated that if Parliament were of a normal length, it was likely she would retire at the next general election .< ref >

For example, if James's will states that he is leaving $ 500, 000 to his son Sam then the money would be a general devise.

The Gaussian theory, however, is only true so long as the angles made by all rays with the optical axis ( the symmetrical axis of the system ) are infinitely small, i. e. with infinitesimal objects, images and lenses ; in practice these conditions are not realized, and the images projected by uncorrected systems are, in general, ill defined and often completely blurred, if the aperture or field of view exceeds certain limits.

6 ) at a finite distance from the axis ( or with an infinitely distant object, a point which subtends a finite angle at the system ) is, in general, even then not sharply reproduced, if the pencil of rays issuing from it and traversing the system is made infinitely narrow by reducing the aperture stop ; such a pencil consists of the rays which can pass from the object point through the now infinitely small entrance pupil.

It was thought that if the Conservatives were able to secure this piece of legislation, then the newly enfranchised electorate may return their gratitude to the Tories in the form of a Conservative vote at the next general election.

In general, a linear mapping on a normed space is continuous if and only if it is bounded on the closed unit ball.

According to Ivinskaya, " If ever the conversation turned to Mandelstam, Leonidovich would always hark back to the same thing: that he was not to blame for his misfortunes, and that if he had not written to Bukharin and in general made a great fuss about his arrest, then perhaps Mandelstam would not even have had the respite, brief as it was, which was granted to him -- with the result that the Voronezh Notebooks might never have been written.

The only way in which the general body of shareholders can control the exercise of powers by the articles in the directors is by altering the articles, or, if opportunity arises under the articles, by refusing to re-elect the directors of whose actions they disapprove.

It should include vital signs, a general portion dedicated to making observations about the patient's respiration ( breathing pattern ), body movements ( if any ), and of the patient's body habitus ( physique ); it should also include assessment of the brainstem and cortical function through special reflex tests such as the oculocephalic reflex test ( doll's eyes test ), oculovestibular reflex test ( cold caloric test ), nasal tickle, corneal reflex, and the gag reflex.

Some, like Henry Sidgwick, argue that a certain degree of egoism promotes the general welfare of society for two reasons: because individuals know how to please themselves best, and because if everyone were an austere altruist then general welfare would inevitably decrease.

* 1828 – Manuel Pavía y Rodríguez de Alburquerque, Spanish general ( d. 1895 )

In general, linear equations involving x and y specify lines, quadratic equations specify conic sections, and more complicated equations describe more complicated figures.

If u ( t ) is the control signal sent to the system, y ( t ) is the measured output and r ( t ) is the desired output, and tracking error, a PID controller has the general form

These polar unit vectors can be expressed in terms of Cartesian unit vectors in the x and y directions, denoted i and j respectively :< ref > Note: unlike the Cartesian unit vectors i and j, which are constant, in polar coordinates the direction of the unit vectors u < sub > r </ sub > and u < sub > θ </ sub > depend on θ, and so in general have non-zero time derivatives .</ ref >

Indeed, following, suppose ƒ is a complex function defined in an open set Ω ⊂ C. Then, writing for every z ∈ Ω, one can also regard Ω as an open subset of R < sup > 2 </ sup >, and ƒ as a function of two real variables x and y, which maps Ω ⊂ R < sup > 2 </ sup > to C. We consider the Cauchy – Riemann equations at z = 0 assuming ƒ ( z ) = 0, just for notational simplicity – the proof is identical in general case.

If there is an edge from a vertex x to a vertex y, then the element is 1 ( or in general the number of xy edges ), otherwise it is 0.

Polysaccharides have a general formula of C < sub > x </ sub >( H < sub > 2 </ sub > O )< sub > y </ sub > where x is usually a large number between 200 and 2500.

In a general metric space ( X, d ), an exact similitude is a function f from the metric space X into itself that multiplies all distances by the same positive scalar r, called f's contraction factor, so that for any two points x and y we have

His numerous compositions include orchestral work such as the " Concierto para bandoneón, orquesta, cuerdas y percusión ", " Doble concierto para bandoneón y guitarra ", " Tres tangos sinfónicos " and " Concierto de Nácar para 9 tanguistas y orquesta ", pieces for the solo classical guitar — the Cinco Piezas ( 1980 ), as well as song-form compositions that still today are well known by the general public in his country, like " Balada para un loco " ( Ballad for a madman ) and Adiós Nonino ( dedicated to his father ) which he recorded many times with different musicians and ensembles.

Note that the requirement d ( T ( x ), T ( y )) < d ( x, y ) for all unequal x and y is in general not enough to ensure the existence of a fixed point, as is shown by the map T: < nowiki >

In general, when a binomial like x + y is raised to a positive integer power we have:

That failed coup d ’ état – known as the Tanquetazo (" tank putsch ") – organised by the nationalist Patria y Libertad paramilitary group, was followed by a general strike at the end of July that included the copper miners of El Teniente.

In general, the ten-vowel system of Classical Latin ( not counting the Greek letter y ), which relied on phonemic vowel length, was newly modelled into one in which vowel length distinctions lost phonemic importance, and qualitative distinctions of height became more prominent.

Gaspar de Carvajal, the chaplain of the first expedition, wrote a chronicle of the voyage ( Relación del nuevo descubrimiento del famoso río Grande que descubrió por muy gran ventura el capitán Francisco de Orellana ), which was partly reproduced in Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo's Historia general y natural de las Indias ( 1542 ), who included in addition statements by Orellana and some of his men.

Justo José de Urquiza y García (; October 18, 1801 – April 11, 1870 ) was an Argentine general and politician.

It is Herrera who makes that connection definite in the romanticized version of Fontaneda's story included in his Historia general de los hechos de los Castellanos en las islas y tierra firme del Mar Oceano.

The 1976 definition of the astronomical unit was incomplete, in particular because it does not specify the frame of reference in which time is to be measured, but proved practical for the calculation of ephemerides: a fuller definition that is consistent with general relativity was proposed, and " vigorous debate " ensued until in August 2012 the International Astronomical Union adopted the current definition of 1 astronomical unit = 149597870700 meters.

In more general sense, each column is treated as a polynomial over GF ( 2 < sup > 8 </ sup >) and is then multiplied modulo x < sup > 4 </ sup >+ 1 with a fixed polynomial c ( x ) = 0x03 · x < sup > 3 </ sup > + x < sup > 2 </ sup > + x + 0x02.

This concept was fully elaborated within general relativity, in which physical properties ( which are partially determined by matter ) are attributed to space, but no substance or state of motion can be attributed to that " aether " ( aether = curved space-time ).

According to Magieduruge Ibrahim Didi, a learned man from Fua Mulaku, it was merely the name which the converted Maldivians used to refer to their infidel ( ghair dīn = ' redin ') ancestors after the general conversion from Buddhism to Islam.

This does not hold in general: given a finite group G and a divisor d of | G |, there does not necessarily exist a subgroup of G with order d. The smallest example is the alternating group G = A < sub > 4 </ sub >, which has 12 elements but no subgroup of order 6.

In general, ∆ = ∇ ² is the Laplace – Beltrami or Laplace – de Rham operator.

In this context it is commonly moved onto the right-hand side of the equation, and defined with a proportionality factor of 8: Λ = 8ρ < sub > vac </ sub >, where unit conventions of general relativity are used ( otherwise factors of G and c would also appear ).

In each case, where general relativity fails as the curvature of space-time invokes singularities from its equations at t = 0, the statistically " gray " nature of quantum cosmology tends to allow a scientific rationale to account for each paradox, and in so doing allows for a scientific perspective on previously theistic terrain.
