In his PhD thesis, J. W. G. Gilbey(1968) cited a maximum formational temperature for the gold-lodes of 535°C at a pressure of 2. 4 kbar. These figures were based on the upper stability limit for co-existing pyrite and arsenopyrite(temperature) and a burial depth approaching 10 km(pressure).... More recently, three new temperature estimates for the gold-lodes have been produced, based on fluid inclusions, sulphur isotope exchange and mineral stability data... These data all point to formational temperatures for the lodes of around 300°C, with an estimated pressure of 1. 8 kbar. These figures would seem to be much more reasonable.

In the aristocratic world of wine grapes, the South's Muscadine long has been the plebeian cousin to such noble European vitis as Chardonnays and Pinots Noir. But in a preliminary study released in August, a Campbell university biologist found that the native Muscadine has the highest concentration of a molecule suspected of being a key cholesterol-cutting ingredient in wine. "... Those happy people could have the last laugh if Ohashi and his colleagues prove their thesis which builds on a growing compilation of scientific evidence that moderate wine consumption is good for the heart. While scientists aren’t sure what it is about red wine that makes it so helpful to the heart, the suspect it has to do with an antioxidant called resveratrol.

The aim of this thesis work is to develop an effective cut-out reinforcement for composite sandwich fuselage shells. Because flat plate theory shows that only tangential stresses act in the vicinity of the cut-out, the proposed reinforcement concept involves fibres oriented in parallel to the edge of the cut-out. As no production process was suitable for producing the desired reinforcement, a process based on the working of simple yo-yo is designed and implemented. A preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of the reinforcement concept is made by subjecting two test plates(one reference plate and one reinforced plate) to a uniaxial tension test.

A doctrine that life is a vital principle distinct from physics and chemistry.

CONT

Rigid application of the sanctity of life principle has given rise to an approach known as "vitalism. "Vitalism has its supporters in literature, philosophy, religion, law and medicine. For those who support this thesis,(though with important nuances and distinctions), human life is an absolute value in itself and every effort must always be made not only to preserve it but to prolong it and hence to combat death with all available means. Considerations as to the quality of life become secondary and even unimportant. Life in the quantitative sense must be saved, maintained and prolonged because it represents a value in itself.

This thesis presents a new approach for the initialization process(initial alignment and calibration) of strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems for air launched tactical missiles operating in an unaided inertial navigation mode... The initialization is treated as a training of Artificial Neural Network filter. A new methodology is developed which can handle, misalignment of Inertial Navigation System and scale factor, as well as bias errors of the measurement instruments used in Inertial Navigation System... It is shown that the optimization algorithm employed as well as Artificial Neural Network is quite suitable for Inertial Navigation System initialization. Prelaunch aircraft maneuvers measured by the Inertial Navigation System of the aircraft provide the necessary training data for the Neural Network for the missile navigation system that initializes the missile's inertial navigation system.

Habitat ’67 was a prototype relying on modular construction. Each module was an elongated cube built on site and hoisted into position with a crane.

Term used by Adam Smith to describe the ability of the perfectly competitive market to bring about the geatest benefit for all, even when all merchants selfishly maximise their own profits.

OBS

A term used by Adam Smith in setting forth the thesis that when each person acts in his own self-interest, the welfare of society is assured. Hence, according to Adam Smith, society is governed by an "invisible hand" which insures the social welfare, even though individuals seek their own interests.

DEF

Terme utilisé par Adam Smith pour définir chaque individu qui tout en cherchant son intérêt personnel assure l'intérêt général tout en harmonisant les décisions personnelles dans le marché.

OBS

[...] la liberté favorise la croissance. Grâce à la liberté, les individus peuvent poursuivre leur propre intérêt ou «tendance de chaque homme à améliorer sans cesse son sort». Lorsque l'individu conforme sa conduite économique à la libre recherche de l'amélioration du sort individuel, il s'établit des institutions et des comportements qui réalisent spontanément un ordre conforme à la nature (conception de la main invisible). Ainsi, en poursuivant son propre intérêt, il sert souvent d'une manière bien plus efficace l'intérêt de la société que s'il avait réellement pour but de la servir.

The concept-formation program described by Winston in his thesis(Winston 1975) was a landmark development in this direction. It accepted as input a sequence of descriptions of complicated Blocks World configurations, each classified as a positive or negative instance of the concept to be learned. The output was a definition of an admissible relation for the concept.

One aim of this thesis was to evaluate serotyping of N. gonorrhea strains with monoclonal antibodies directed to Protein I in a clinical setting. The subdivison of gonococcal isolates into serovars was stable with the GS panel of monoclonal antibodies tested. Serovar analysis using the coagglutination technique is simple, rapid and does not require expensive equipment. It has a better resolution than auxotyping and is well suited for routine-testing of clinical samples.

Les auxotypages inhabituels des types de plasmides africains et asiatiques sont fréquemment importés, certains disparaissant aussitôt après leur introduction en Hollande mais d'autres fournissant l'occasion de retrouver les sources et les contacts. La prostitution des propriétés biologiques des souches N. gonorrhoeae produisant la pénicillase semblent jouer un rôle important dans leur propagation. Seulement 2,6% d'entre elles ont été isolées d'hommes homosexuels. Dans les régions où ces souches sont prévalentes, l'auxotypage est un instrument important dans leur surveillance.

A skillologist believes that it is not the business of the universities to impart knowledge for its own sake, but merely to transmit, from generation to generation, a range of approved skills. Skillologists regard the concept of pure research as almost blasphemous and have now launched an attack against the research doctorate. [They propose] to scrap the thesis altogether, and award the title "doctor" to those who can satisfy the examiners merely as to their acquaintance with a range of research methodologies.

The inference strategy used in logical systems to determine the truth of an assertion. This complex, but highly effective, method establishes the truth of an assertion by determining that a contradiction is encountered when one attempts to resolve clauses, one of which is a negation of the thesis one seeks to assert.

What, then, about the claims for autonomy in the area of language? Chomsky has for almost thirty years insisted that syntax can be approached as a module, one operating in independence of(though, of course, interacting with) other facets of language. While many researchers have sought to follow Chomsky in this belief, it now appears that the links of syntax to other aspects of language-to lexical semantics(à la Bresnan) and to pragmatics(à la Gazdar) in particular-may be sufficiently integral that the thesis of the autonomy of syntax is in jeopardy.
