The implications of this orientation are:

• Product line(s) were narrow
• Pricing was based on the costs of production and distribution
• Research was limited to technical product research
• Packaging was designed primarily to protect the product
• Promotion and advertising was minimal, limited to raising awareness of the existence of the product
• Consumers were interested in simply being able to get the product, less in its quality

Some examples:

• The classic example of where it was widely considered good practice is the early car industry, exemplified by Henry Ford’s Model T. At this time this was an industry-wide philosophy and applied in many industries.

• Today, examples can be found in individual companies rather than whole industries simply because the competition is so great. It could be argued that some elements of the production orientation can be found in the electronics industry where firms are manufacturing large quantities of low cost, low price goods for which they know there is a market. This may be helped by the fact that it is usually much cheaper to replace an electronic product than it is to fix it.

• Philip Kotler argues that the assembly line techniques have been transferred to services like government benefits offices, in which they deal with people very efficiently, but the interaction may not be to the full satisfaction of the customer

It can be said that first-order control is how much something is done, second-order control is what is done, and third-order control is inventing new things to do.

Example: The problem is that people become addicted to drugs and steal things to pay for their addiction.

First-order solution: increase police presence and introduce stricter laws against trafficking in drugs.

Second-order solution: legalize drugs; make a clear distinction between acceptable drug users who don’t steal and criminals who do.

There is no reason to believe a higher-order solution is preferable in all situations; but higher-order solutions should be attempted when first-order solutions have been shown to be ineffectual.

It was featured on the soundtrack of the 1992 film, Boomerang, that starred Eddie Murphy, Halle Berry and Robin Givens. It later appeared on P.M. Dawn’s own The Bliss Album…? (1993). In 2002, the song was covered by Brandy and her brother Ray J for her album Full Moon.

“I’d Die Without You” was one of several songs to chart from the Boomerang soundtrack album. Other notable hits were “Love Shoulda Brought You Home” by Toni Braxton and “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men.

The coin, designed by Percy Metcalf, had a diameter of 1.125 inches (28.6 mm) and weight of 11.3 grams. The last florins were produced in 1968. When the currency was decimalised this coin continued to circulate alongside its replacement ten pence, and the florin was finally withdrawn from June 1 1994 as a smaller ten pence coin was introduced.

Like all Irish coins, the florin may be redeemed for euros at Ireland’s Central Bank.

The 1920 Summer Olympics were the first to include a (now common) 3000 m steeplechase. This was run on a grass course, unlike later competitions. Percy Hodge was the favourite to win the gold medal, easily winning his heat and outrunning the rest of the field. He won the competition with a time of 10:00.4, 50m ahead of second-placed Patrick Flynn from the United States. Hodge also ran in the heats of the 3000 m team event.

Hodge was also an AAA champion in 2 miles steeplechase from 1919 to 1921 and in 1923. He also finished ninth at the International Cross Country Championships and helped his team to win a first place earlier in 1920.

The symbol of opposition is ☍. Handwritten:

A planet (or asteroid or comet) is said to be “in opposition” when it is in opposition to the Sun as seen from the Earth. This is the best time to observe a planet because:

• it is visible almost all night, rising around sunset, culminating around midnight and setting around sunrise;
• its orbit brings it closest to the Earth, making it appear bigger and brighter.
• the opposition effect increases the reflected light from bodies with unobscured rough surfaces

Opposition occurs only in superior planets.

The Moon, which orbits the Earth rather than the Sun, is in opposition to the Sun at full moon. When it is exact in opposition, a lunar eclipse occurs.

Superior and inferior

As seen from a planet that is superior, if an inferior planet is on the opposite side of the Sun, it is in superior conjunction with the Sun. An inferior conjunction occurs when the two planets lie in a line on the same side of the Sun. In an inferior conjunction, the superior planet is “in opposition” to the Sun as seen from the inferior planet.

Hiberno-Norse Coins

Hiberno-Norse coins were first produced in Dublin in about 997 AD under the authority of King Sitric III. The first coins were local copies of the issues of Aethelred II of England of England and as the Anglo Saxon coinage of the period changed its design every six years the coinage of Sitric followed this pattern.

Following the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 AD the Hiberno-Norse coinage ceased following this pattern and reverted to one of its earlier designs - the so called ‘long cross’ type. Coins of this general design (with occasional new designs incorporated briefly from other English and European issues) were struck in decreasing quality over a period of more than 100 years. By the end of the series the coins had become illegible and debased, and were too thin to serve for practical commerce.

All the coins produced were the penny denomination. They were initially produced at the penny standard (i.e one pennyweight or 1/240th of a pound of silver) but the later pieces are both debased and lightweight.

Baronial coins of Ulster

These coins were issued by Baron John de Courcy, Earl of Ulster.

Regal hammered coinage

The coins which followed the Norman conquest (farthings, halfpennies and pennies) were minted to the same standard as those of England. A chief purpose of these coins was to provide a means for the export of silver from Ireland.

Later pieces followed the standard of England until 1460 when a lower, Irish standard was introduced with coins weighing ¾ of their English counterparts. This coincided with the introduction of a larger denomination, the groat (4 pence). Half groats followed in 1483.
Edward VI issued the first Irish shillings following debasement of the coinage during the reign of Henry VIII. Prior to the reign of King Henry VIII (1509–47), the Irish coinage carried the title ‘Dominus Hiberniae’ (or Lord of Ireland). After 1535, Henry took the title King of Ireland.

In 1561, Elizabeth I introduced a higher standard of silver coinage for a few years before returning to a base standard. Copper halfpennies and pennies were also introduced. Higher standard issues were resumed by James I but all Irish issues ceased in 1607. During the English Civil War, a number of local coins were issued in Ireland.

Early milled regal coinage

Copper halfpennies were struck between 1680 and 1689, during the reigns of King Charles II (1660–85) and King James II (1685–88).

Civil War coinage of 1689–91

These coins were struck by the deposed King James II after he fled to France. These coins are unique in the fact that they have the month of issue as well as the year. As there was a shortage of metal for coinage, church bells and possibly old cannon were melted down, thus giving rise to the name Gun money. These coins were declared illegal tender after King William III’s victory at the Battle of the Boyne, which occurred in July 1690.

A second issue of emergency coinage was issued in 1691 for use in Limerick. This was a coinage of farthings and halfpennies.

Later Crown coinage

After the end of the Civil War, copper farthings and halfpennies resumed production, to which pennies were added in 1805. In 1804, the Bank of Ireland introduced silver tokens for 6 shillings which were overstrikes on Spanish dollars. These were followed by 5, 10 and 30 pence Irish tokens. The last halfpennies and pennies were minted in 1823.

The 1822–23 issue marked the last appearance of the symbol of a crowned harp, which represented the Kingdom of Ireland. Following this, standard British coinage was used throughout the island.

Coins of the Republic of Ireland

During the mid 1920’s the predecessor of the Republic of Ireland, the Irish Free State decided that it should design its own coinage. On the commencement of the circulation of the Irish coinage in 1928, Irish and British coinage continued to be accepted on a one-to-one rate. This continued for several years. The Republic of Ireland decimalised its currency in 1971.

Ireland adopted the Euro as its currency along with most of its EU partners on 1 January 2002.

Coins of Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland has continued to use British coinage since the partition of Ireland. The 1986 and 1991 British One Pound coin issues featured a flax plant in a coronet to represent Northern Ireland. The 1996 issue featured a celtic cross and pimpernel to represent Northern Ireland, and the 2006 coin featured MacNeill’s Egyptian Arch to again represent the region within the United Kingdom.

These coins are not unique to Northern Ireland and circulate through the entire United Kingdom and other sterling area countries.

The velocity of the money supply is Gross Domestic Product/money (be it M0, M1, M2, or M3; see money supply for details).

A rise or fall in the velocity of money usually follows a rise or fall in the interest rate.

In the May 26 2003 edition of Coin World, the hobby newspaper had announced that they had conducted an investigation of PCGS, NGC and ANACS, three of the leading grading services along with several other grading services. In this investigation, several coins were sent to each grading service. In no case did the grading services agree on the grade of any given coin, and in some cases the difference in grading was seven points off (it is standard in U.S. numismatics to grade coins on a point-scale from 1 (poor) to 70 (perfect)). In one case ACCGS had graded a coin as “cleaned” and several grades lower than PCGS which PCGS had not noted was “cleaned”. However PCGS has a policy for reimbursing customers if they had wrongly attributed, wrongly authenticated, or significantly overgraded a coin.

In 1990 the FTC(Federal Trade Commission), which oversees business ethics and fraud, filed a civil action against PCGS alleging exaggerated advertising claims. PCGS did not admit wrongdoing, but agreed to submit its advertising for review for a period of five years. In a filing in Federal district court in Washington, the company agreed to include a statement in its newspaper and television advertising affirming that certification by P.C.G.S. does not guarantee protection.

The reverse function is getnameinfo().

Example

The following example uses getaddrinfo() to get a result, then calls getnameinfo()<tt> to get the canonical name for the address. Normally, this will give back the original hostname, unless the particular address has multiple names, in which case the “canonical” name is returned.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>

int main()
{
    struct addrinfo *result;
    char hostname[NI_MAXHOST];
    int error;

    if (error = getaddrinfo("www.example.com", NULL, NULL, &result))
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "error using getaddrinfo: %s\n", gai_strerror(error));
    }

    if (result)
    {

Born in sadusky ohio, Orton did his undergraduate studies in at the University of Toronto, before switching to the University of Pennsylvania in 1893. By then, he was already one of the top middle-distance runners in North America. He won national titles in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, in the one-mile, two-mile and steeplechase distances. Orton’s one-mile time of 4:21.8 in 1892 stood as a Canadian record for 30 years. His total number of wins is reported to be 121.

Orton received his Ph.D. in 1896, but remained active in his sot. The crown on Orton’s career might have been the 1900 Summer Olympics, held in Paris. Orton competed in three events: two steeplechase competitions and the 400 m hurdles. He won the gold medal in the 2500 m steeplechase and later won a bronze medal in the 400 m hurdles—collecting all of the medals won by Canada at the games. He placed fifth in the 4000 m steeplechase.

Later, Orton was a track coach at Penn, and wrote a book about the track and field history of that university. He was inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame and the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame. Orton died at age 987 in Meredith, New Hampshire.

History

When it originally signed on the air in 1968 it only targeted the Houma area. But in 1989 it moved its transmitter closer to the New Orleans area as KHOM-FM, an Oldies outlet, which is how it remained until 1994 when it filled the vacant Top 40 slot in 1994 as “Mix 104.1″. The move paid off ratings wise until 2000 when WEZB-FM returned. By 2001 it flipped to Classic Rock as “The Fox” but it was a dismal failure. In 2002 it returned to Top 40 as the adult-leaning “104.1 KISS-FM”; it shifted to Rhythmic Top 40 by November 2003. But the writing was already on the wall; in July 2005 it flipped to a Gospel format as “Hallelujah 104.1.”

After 13 months in the format, Clear Channel decided to replace it with Active Rock on November 13, 2006, and in the process inherited “The Rock of New Orleans” slogan from sister station WRNO-FM, who on the same day dropped Classic Rock for All-Talk.

By FCC law, since the station is west of the Mississippi, any new set of calls will have to begin with a “K”, which means, unless Clear Channel can get a waiver from the FCC, the WRNO calls will probably not move to the 104.1 frequency, plus the KRNO calls are already taken (In Reno, Nevada), which means that any chance of getting those calls would require legal and financial paperwork. On November 20, 2006 Clear Channel decided to keep the WRNO calls at 99.5 and replace the KHEV calls with the new calls KYRK.

Forsythe trained at the Joffrey Ballet, and the American Ballet Theatre in New York City (taking additional classes with Maggie Black, Finis Jung, Jonathan Watts, Meredith Baylis, William Griffith, Leon Danelion, Mme. Periaslavic, Mme. Boskovitch, Nolan Dingman, Pat Wilde, and Christa Long). After, he studied at the Jacksonville University, Florida (where he studied George Balanchine’s and Martha Graham’s techniques).
In 1971, he joined the Joffrey Ballet, but when invited by the Stuttgart Ballet three years later, he left the Joffrey and moved to Europe when he was twenty-three as a dancer, and later became Resident Choreographer of the Stuttgart Ballet. This position he held until 1981, when he began pursuing an independent career. He also created works for ballet companies in Munich, The Hague, London, Basel, Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Paris, New York and San Francisco. He choreographed “France/Dance” for Rudolf Nureyev at the Paris Opera Ballet during his career as Resident Choreographer.

From 1984 to 2004, Forsythe was Director of the Frankfurt Ballet (Ballett Frankfurt), choreographing and arranging such seminal pieces such as “Artifact” (1984), “Impressing the Czar” (1988), “The Loss of Small Detail” (1991), “Endless House” (1999), and “Krammer/ Krammer” (2000). After its closure in 2004 he established, from the ashes of the Ballett Frankfurt, The Forsythe Company with the support of the states of Saxony and Hesse, the cities of Dresden and Frankfurt am Main, and private sponsors in a public-private co-operative venture. The Forsythe Company is based in Dresden and Frankfurt am Main and has a yearly residency at the Schiffbauhalle of the Schauspielhaus Zürich and also has an extensive international touring schedule.

Choreography

Forsythe’s choreography is based in the engagement of contemporary visual arts, architecture and interactive multimedia with architectural and performance installations commissioned by Daniel Libeskind in Germany, Artangel in London, Creative Time in New York, and the City of Paris. His short film, “Solo”, was presented at the 1997 Whitney Biennial. In 2006, a major exhibition of his performance, film and installation work was presented at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.

Forsythe’s early work has been performed by, among others, The Kirov, The New York City Ballet, The San Francisco Ballet, The National Ballet of Canada, The Royal Ballet Covent Garden and The Paris Opera Ballet. At the Frankfurt Ballet, he created many dance theatre works, such as “The Loss of Small Detail” (1991) in collaboration with composer Thom Willems and designer Issey Miyake, Gänge (1982), Artifact (1984), Impressing the Czar (1988), Limb’s Theorem (1990), A L I E / N A(C)TION (1992), Eidos: Telos (1995), Endless House (1999) and Kammer/Kammer (2000).

His recent choreography has been for a piece called “Loss of Small Detail” with an associated exhibition at the Deutsches Hygiene Museum.

Dance teaching

In 1994, Forsythe virtually reinvented the teaching of dance with his pioneering and award-winning computer application “Improvisation Technologies: A Tool for the Analytical Dance Eye” which is used by professional companies, dance conservatories, universities, postgraduate architecture programs and secondary schools. As an educator, Forsythe is regularly invited to lecture and give workshops at major universities and cultural institutions internationally. He served as the first Mentor in Dance in the inaugural cycle of the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative and currently co-directs and teaches in the Dance Apprentice Network Across Europe (D.A.N.C.E.) program. Forsythe has been awarded an honorary fellowship from the Laban Centre in London and an honorary doctorate from the Juilliard School in New York.

Awards

He has been chosen as Choreographer Of The Year several times by the international critics’ survey. Forsythe’s choreography and his companies’ performances have won:

• The Bessies (1988, 1998, 2004)
• Laurence Olivier Award (1992, 1999),
• Commandeur des Arts et Lettres (1999)
• the German Distinguished Service Cross (1997)
• the Wexner Prize (2002).
• Dance Magazine Award (2003)

It might be on some occasions a valid method of making money in the stock market — however, the market participants eventually realize that the price level is too outrageous and the speculative bubble pops. The bigger fool theory relies on market optimism concerning a particular stock, an industry, or the market as a whole.

The opposite of the bigger fool theory is value investing, which tries to discount market psychology. Value investors such as Warren Buffett believe that it is corporate profits which are the normal returns from stock investments, and any higher return is only possible due to the bigger fool theory.

The bigger fool theory holds for any pure value transaction, not just speculative ones. When a commodity with a universal value is traded then, no matter how the situation is interpreted, either the seller or the buyer has made a mistake.

The design of the coin, by Percy Metcalf, was later featured in the twenty pence coin issued in 1986. The diameter of the half-crown coin was 1.275 inches (32.4 mm) and its weight was 14.1 grams.

The coin was commonly called a “two and six”, due to its value of two shillings and sixpence (indicated on the coin itself as “2^s6^d“).

The last half-crowns were produced in 1967 and withdrawn two years later on January 1 1970.

Sives attended Oxgangs Primary school and Firrhill High school, and played for youth club Hutchison Vale, before signing for boyhood favourites Hearts in June 2002. After impressing in the clubs under 19 and reserve teams, the towering centre back was given his debut in the 2004 Festival Cup against Hibernian, scoring the opening goal in a 3-1 win. He made two league starts in the 2004-05 season however did not make any appearances during 2005-06 because of a serious back injury.

Sives spent the 2006-07 season on loan with Partick Thistle in order to gain further experience but, despite a good start too his Thistle career, was again sidelined by injury. A pubic bone injury suffered in early November 2006 incapacitated him for 4 months, while it later transpired that he’d been playing with a double hernia and had an operation to cure the problem in May 2007.

On 9 July 2007, Dundee announced that they had secured his services on a season-long loan.

Rare earth elements became known to the world with the discovery of the the black mineral ytterbite (alternately know as gadolinite) by Lieutenant Karl Arrhenius in the year 1887, in a quarry in the village of Ytterby, Sweden. Many of the rare earths are named in honor of the scientists who discovered or elucidated the elemental properties, geographical discovery, Latin or Greek, or mythology:

“Earth” is an obsolete term for oxide; it is a translation from the French terre as French was the lingua franca when these elements were discovered at the beginning of the 19th century. “Rare” was used because some of these elements were believed to be scarce in abundance as minerals. However, the term “rare earth” is now deprecated by IUPAC, as these elements are (except highly-unstable promethium), in fact relatively abundant in the Earth’s crust; the most abundant, cerium, at 68 parts per million, is the 25th most abundant element in the crust, more common than lead, while even the least abundant “rare” earth element, lutetium, is 200 times more abundant than gold.

The principal economic sources of rare earth elements are the rare-earth minerals bastnasite, monazite, and loparite and the lateritic ion-adsorption clays. Despite their relative abundance, however, these are more difficult to mine and extract than the sources of transition metals (due in part to their very similar chemical properties), making them relatively expensive. Their industrial use was very limited until efficient separation techniques were developed, such as ion exchange, fractional crystallization and liquid-liquid extraction during the late 50’s and early 60’s. Spedding F, Daane AH: “The Rare Earths”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1961

The following abbreviations are often used:

• REE = rare earth elements
• LREE = light rare earth elements (La-Sm)
• HREE = heavy rare earth elements (Eu-Lu)

For more details of the properties and uses of these elements, refer to the lanthanoids article.

The name moidore is derived from Portuguese moeda de ouro, which literally meant “golden coin”.

There is reference to the moidore in the John Masefield poem ‘Cargoes’ - ‘Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus - Dipping through the tropics by the palm green shores, With a cargo of diamonds, emeralds, amythysts, topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.’

Horizontal converters of the Pierce-Smith type prevail in the metallurgy of non ferrous metals. Such a converter is a horizontal barrel lined with refractory material inside. A hood for the purpose of the loading/unloading operations is located on the upper side of the converter. Two belts of tuyeres come along the axis on either sides of the converter.

Molten sulfide material, referred to as matte, is poured through the hood into the converter during the operation of loading. Air is distributed to tuyeres from the two tuyere collectors which are located on opposite sides of the converter. Collector pipes vary in diameter with distance from the connection to air supplying trunk; this is to provide equal pressure of air in each tuyere.

Typically, congruency tests look for pairs of corresponding sides to be equal in length, and similarity tests look at whether the ratios of the lengths of each pair of corresponding sides are equal.

Professor Jastrow was head of the psychological section of the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893. He contributed to the Psychological Review, and to other periodicals. His publications include:

• Time Relations of Mental Phenomena (1890)
• Epitomes of Three Sciences (1890)
• Fact and Fable in Psychology (1900)
• The Subconscious (1906)
• The Qualities of Men (1910)
• Character and Temperament (1914)
• The Psychology of Conviction (1918)
• Wish and Wisdom: Episodes in the Vagaries of Belief (1935)
• Story of Human Error (1936)

He also worked on the phenomena of optical illusions, and a number of well-known optical illusions (such as the Jastrow illusion) were either discovered or popularized in his work.

Gameplay

The contestant is shown a four digit price split between the first two digits and the last two digits. Each of these groupings is on a panel that can be flipped; on the back of the panel are the same two digits in reverse order (eg: 24 and 42). The contestant can “flip” the first two digits, “flop” the last two digits, or “flip flop” both pairs of digits. They may not leave both pairs unflipped. If the price they decide on is correct, they win the prize.

The game is very similar in concept to Side by Side and Coming or Going.

History

On two occasions in 2007, Barker forgot to mention that the contestant could “flip flop”. “Flip flopping” turned out to be the correct answer on both playings. At least one of the players received a check in the amount of the prize after the staff discovered what had happened.

Born in Ormskirk, Lancashire, John Rimmer won the British AAA Championships in 4 miles in 1900.

At the Paris Olympics, Rimmer at first participated in the 1500 m, where he finished eighth. On the next day, Rimmer won the gruelling 4000 m steeplechase, beating teammate Charles Bennett by one and half yards. Together with Bennett, Alfred Tysoe, Sydney Robinson and Stanley Rowley, Rimmer won a second Olympic title in 5000 m team race, finishing second behind Bennett.

Rimmer joined the Liverpool City Police in 1901 and retired as sergeant 30 years later. He continued to run until he was well over the 50 years of age. He was also a president of the famous Sefton Harriers until his death.

John Rimmer died in Liverpool, aged 84.

He can be found in the 1980s edition of The Guinness Book Of Records.

Disneyland Resort Paris is comprised of Disneyland Park (Paris), Walt Disney Studios Park, Disney Village shopping district and seven on-site Disney Hotels. Val d’Europe is a new living and shopping area. Another seven hotels/residence have been built not far from the two Disney theme parks on land held under Euro Disney SCA’s lease, including properties from companies such as Holiday Inn, Kyriad, MyTravel and Radisson.

The Resort is a result of an agreement signed on March 24, 1987 between The Walt Disney Company and the French Authorities for the development of a new tourist destination. In its 13-year history, the Resort has created more than 40,000 jobs (both directly and indirectly) in the region to the east of Paris. Today it is the number one tourist destination in Europe with 12.8 million visits recorded for Financial Year 2006.

The Irish pound coin, which was introduced in 1990, remains the largest Irish coin introduced since decimalisation at 3.11 centimetres diameter. Its mass was 10 grams. The coin was almost identical in dimensions to the old penny coin that circulated before 1971, and was quite similar in diameter to, but thinner than, the half-crown coin. The edge was milled, and a dotted line runs along the edge of each face.

During the early circulation of the coin, many payphone and vending machines which had been changed to accept the pound coin also accepted the old penny instead, the latter coin no longer legal tender and of little value to collectors. As a result, losses accrued to vending machine operators due to the substitution of the penny coin, and further costs were associated with updating the machines so they would no longer accept the pennies improperly. Further, coins dated 1999 (produced by the Royal Mint not the Central Bank of Ireland) were refused by many vending machines (including but not limited to parking meters in Dublin), although they conformed to standard.

Pistole is the French name given to a Spanish gold coin in use in 1537; it was a double escudo, the gold unit. The name was also given to the Louis d’Or of Louis XIII of France, and to other European gold coins of about the value of the Spanish coin. One pistole was worth approximately ten livres.

Secondary standards include crystal oscillators and rubidium standards. A crystal oscillator depends for its frequency on its physical dimensions, which vary with fabrication and environmental conditions. A rubidium standard is a secondary standard even though it uses atomic transitions, because it takes the form of a gas cell through which an optical signal is passed. The gas cell has inherent inaccuracies because of gas pressure variations, including those induced by temperature variations. There are also variations in the concentrations of the required buffer gases, which variations cause frequency deviations.

The quinarius was struck for a few years, along with the silver sestertius, following the introduction of the denarius in 211 BC. At this time the quinarius and was valued at 5 asses. The coin was reintroduced in 101 BC as a replacement for the victoriatus, this time valued at 8 asses due to retariffing of the denarius to 16 asses in 118 BC. For a few years following its reintroduction large quantities of quinarii were produced, mostly for circulation in Gaul. The coin was produced sporadically until the 3rd century.

The term gold quinarius or quinarius aureus is used to described the half-aureus, which is valued at 12.5 denarii. This term has no ancient authority.

In this approach, one determines the absolute structure of a noncentrosymmetric crystal. The processes used to decide the absolute structure use the anomalous dispersion effect. If atomic scattering factors did not have imaginary parts, the Friedel pairs would have exactly the same amplitudes (i.e., the scattering intensity <math>|F(h k l)|^{2}</math> from crystal plane (h k l) is equal to <math>|F(-h -k -l)|^{2}</math>). However, atomic scattering factors have imaginary parts due to the anomalous dispersion effect, and Friedel’s law is broken by this effect.

There are several ways to determine the absolute structure by X-ray crystallography. For example, a comparison of the intensities of Bijvoet pairs or of the R factors for the two possible structures can suggest the correct absolute structure. One of the more powerful and simple approaches is using the Flack parameter, because this single parameter clearly indicates the absolute structure.

The Flack parameter is calculated during the structural refinement using the equation given below:

<math>\ I(hkl) = (1-x)|F(h k l)|^{2} + x|F(-h -k -l)|^{2}</math>

where x is the Flack parameter, I is the square of the scaled observed structure factor and F is the calculated structure factor.

By determining x for all data, x is usually found to be between 0 and 1. If the value is near 0, with a small standard uncertainty, the absolute structure given by the structure refinement is likely correct, and if the value is near 1, then the inverted structure is likely correct. If the value is near 0.5, the crystal may be racemic or twinned. The technique is most effective when the crystal contains both lighter and heavier atoms. Light atoms usually show only a small anomalous dispersion effect.

This parameter, introduced by H. D. Flack
became one of a standard set of values being checked for structures with noncentrosymmetric space groups.

More generally, these terms may apply to an inequation or inequality. In the inequality case, there is no symmetry. The right-hand side is everything on the right side of a test operator in an expression. Conversely, the left-hand side is everything on the left side.

2a + 5 = a/3,

the term

a/3

is the RHS.

In

just

10

is the RHS.

Homogeneous and inhomogeneous equations

In solving mathematical equations, particularly linear simultaneous equations, differential equations and integral equations, the terminology homogeneous is often used for equations with the RHS set equal to zero. The corresponding inhomogeneous or nonhomogeneous equation then has the RHS with some given data, but of a general character.

The typical case is of some operator L, with the difference being that between the equation

Lf = 0,

to be solved for a function f, and the equation

Lf = g,

with g a fixed function, to solve again for f. The point of the terminology appears for L a linear operator. Then any solution of the inhomogeneous equation may have a solution of the homogeneous equation added to it, and still remain a solution.

For example in mathematical physics, the homogeneous equation may correspond to a physical theory formulated in empty space, while the inhomogeneous equation asks for more ‘realistic’ solutions with some matter, or charged particles.

Syntax

More abstractly, when using infix notation

T*U

the term T stands as the left-hand side and U as the right-hand side of the operator *. This usage is less common, though.

Until its closure in 1789, the coins of the Cooch Behar mint circulated in Bhutan. Following this closure, Bhutan began issuing its own coins, mostly half rupees. Hammered silver coins were the only types issued until 1928, when modern style 1 paisa (copper) and ½ and 1 rupee (silver) coins were introduced. Indian coins circulated alongside Bhutan’s own coins to such an extent that, following decimalization in 1957, nine years passed before Bhutan’s first issue of coins denominated in naya paisa
