In fact, the recent warnings about the use of X-rays have introduced fears and ambiguities of action which now require more detailed understanding, and thus in this instance, science has momentarily aggravated our fears.

Let us survey for a moment the development of modern thought -- turning our attention from the Reformation toward the revolutionary and romantic movements that follow and dwelling finally on more recent decades.

Mr. Freeman said that in many of the countries he visited on a recent world trade trip people were more awed by America's capacity to produce food surpluses than by our industrial production -- or even by the Soviet's successes in space.

But more important, we believe, it must concentrate on the development of entirely new concepts in textile processing as do the Unifil loom winder and our more recent Uniconer automatic coning machine.

For the near term, however, it must be realized that the industrial and commercial market is somewhat more sensitive to general business conditions than is the military market, and for this reason I would expect that any gain in 1961 may be somewhat smaller than those of recent years ; ;

and much more commonly in recent years, the engineer who found that other duties interfered with -- or eliminated -- his engineering contributions.

`` A recent, and more pertinent action, has been the establishment of a technical staff reporting to the vice-president for Engineering.

Some more recent studies have used the word anthophyte to describe a group which includes the angiosperms and a variety of fossils ( glossopterids, Pentoxylon, Bennettitales, and Caytonia ), but not the Gnetales.

As taught in school books, analytic geometry can be explained more simply: it is concerned with defining and representing geometrical shapes in a numerical way and extracting numerical information from shapes ' numerical definitions and representations.

More recent IUPAC recommendations now suggest the newer term " hydronium " be used in favor of the older accepted term " oxonium " to illustrate reaction mechanisms such as those defined in the Brønsted – Lowry and solvent system definitions more clearly, with the Arrhenius definition serving as a simple general outline of acid – base character.

To determine which people may need special assistance because of their visual disabilities, various governmental jurisdictions have formulated more complex definitions referred to as legal blindness.

Still the attacks provoked efforts to define biodefense and biosecurity, where more limited definitions of biosafety had focused on unintentional or accidental impacts of agricultural and medical technologies.

Whenever a confusion between the two kinds of definitions might arise it can be avoided by referring to the more general definition and by reintroducing the erased parameter: writing B < sub > m </ sub >( 0 ) in the first case and B < sub > m </ sub >( 1 ) in the second will unambiguously denote the value in question.

Typically, the cotangent space is defined as the dual space of the tangent space at x, although there are more direct definitions ( see below ).

The stated rationale for cryonics is that people who are considered dead by current legal or medical definitions may not necessarily be dead according to the more stringent information-theoretic definition of death.

In de facto residence definitions this would not be a problem but in de jure definitions individuals risk being recorded on more than one form leading to double counting.

A dictionary ( also called a wordbook, lexicon or vocabulary ) is a collection of words in one or more specific languages, often listed alphabetically, with usage information, definitions, etymologies, phonetics, pronunciations, and other information ; or a book of words in one language with their equivalents in another, also known as a lexicon.

The four definitions given above are special cases of a more general definition.

Considerable controversy exists over the proper definition of the term " desertification " for which Helmut Geist ( 2005 ) has identified more than 100 formal definitions.

One critic states of psychologists that " Instead of replacing ' metaphysical ' terms such as ' desire ' and ' purpose ', they used it to legitimize them by giving them operational definitions ... the initial, quite radical operationalist ideas eventually came to serve as little more than a ' reassurance fetish ' ( Koch 1992 ) for mainstream methodological practice.

The situation is further complicated by the traditional uses of the terms parallel and distributed algorithm that do not quite match the above definitions of parallel and distributed systems ; see the section Theoretical foundations below for more detailed discussion.

Other commentators incorporate consent more directly into their definitions.

From a more advanced perspective, each of these definitions may be interpreted as giving the unique analytic continuation of e < sup > x </ sup > to the complex plane.

A graph may be undirected, meaning that there is no distinction between the two vertices associated with each edge, or its edges may be directed from one vertex to another ; see graph ( mathematics ) for more detailed definitions and for other variations in the types of graph that are commonly considered.

In fact, in many occurrences the manipulation of horror presents cultural definitions that are not accurate, yet set an example to which a person relates to that specific cultural from then on in their life .< ref name = Carta > The visual interpretations of a films can be lost in the translation of their elements from one culture to another like in the adaptation of the Japanese film Ringu into the American film The Ring .< ref name = Holm > The cultural components from Japan were slowly " siphoned away " to make the film more relatable to an American audience.

Amidst constant innovation in information and communication technologies, hierarchical authority structures are giving way to greater decision-making latitude for individuals and more flexible definitions of job activities and this new style of work presents a challenge to existing organizational forms, with some research studies contrasting traditional organizational forms against groups that operate as online communities that are characterized by personal motivation and the satisfaction of making one's own decisions.

Indeed, the expression inertial frame of reference () was coined by Ludwig Lange in 1885, to replace Newton's definitions of " absolute space and time " by a more operational definition.

Every library module has at least two source files: a definitions file specifying the library's interface plus one or more program files specifying the implementation of the procedures in the interface.

A number a is a root of P if and only if the polynomial x − a ( of degree one in x ) divides P. It may happen that x − a divides P more than once: if ( x − a )< sup > 2 </ sup > divides P then a is called a multiple root of P, and otherwise a is called a simple root of P. If P is a nonzero polynomial, there is a highest power m such that ( x − a )< sup > m </ sup > divides P, which is called the multiplicity of the root a in P. When P is the zero polynomial, the corresponding polynomial equation is trivial, and this case is usually excluded when considering roots: with the above definitions every number would be a root of the zero polynomial, with undefined ( or infinite ) multiplicity.

Extending approximately 15, 500 kilometres ( 9, 600 mi ) from the Bering Sea in the Arctic to the northern extent of the circumpolar Southern Ocean at 60 ° S ( older definitions extend it to Antarctica's Ross Sea ), the Pacific reaches its greatest east-west width at about 5 ° N latitude, where it stretches approximately 19, 800 kilometres ( 12, 300 mi ) from Indonesia to the coast of Colombia – halfway across the world, and more than five times the diameter of the Moon.

Both definitions focus on the communicative process involved — or more precisely, on the purpose of the process, and allow " propaganda " to be considered objectively and then interpreted as positive or negative behavior depending on the perspective of the viewer or listener.
