Among Famous Books Puzzles have infinite variety, but perhaps there is no class more ancient than dissection, cutting-out, or superposition puzzles. Amusements in Mathematics A merely horizontal movement of the eye will then give a practically exact superposition of the image of i at all moments of the exposure. Harvard Psychological Studies, Volume 1 Containing Sixteen Experimental Investigations from the Harvard Psychological Laboratory. There is no superposition and circumstance, there is hardness and a reason and the rest and remainder. Tender Buttons Objects—Food—Rooms A few other schemes include the following: Using lasers, researchers can place molecules in a superposition of reaction pathways; then they can control the chemical process by adjusting the degree of interference.

Amusements in Mathematics Movements corresponding to particular sounds may be superposed in slender diaphragms, but this superposition must necessarily be disturbing under all but exceptional circumstances. Scientific American Supplement, No. 586, March 26, 1887 The latter is now placed in a fourth magic-lantern with a brighter light behind it, and its image is thrown on the screen by the side of the composite produced by direct optical superposition. Inquiries into Human Faculty and Its Development Another powerful reason for taking the aether to be stationary is afforded by the character of the equations of electrodynamics; they are all of linear type, and superposition of effects is possible. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 Of the latter, the substitution or superposition of another mysterious and non-existent activity is an example. Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic We can produce a more perfect and shorter circle of attractions by the superposition of magnetism, as at B, Fig. Scientific American Supplement, No. 392, July 7, 1883 There the thoughts presented are the superposition of the building upon its Foundation, the rest of the soul, and the rearing of the life on the basis of Jesus Christ. Expositions of Holy Scripture St. John Chapters I to XIV Considerations on the aspect of a country are independent of those which indicate the nature of the soil, the heterogeneity of matter, the superposition of rocks and the direction and inclination of strata. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 3 The better to convey an idea of the whole situation and superposition of these rocks, we will name the formations as they occur in a profile drawn from north to south. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 2 Until I can get you to “let your thoughts play freely” round this question of the superposition of soils and rocks, there will be no use in my going on with these papers. Town Geology In the chain of the Apennines, between Rome and Nocera, I observed this same immediate superposition.* Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 All the carving and tracing is done in the wood, no superpositions or stucco work whatever being used to show reliefs. Marvels of Modern Science The relations of position or superposition between this soil and the tertiary rocks does not appear sufficiently clear to enable me to pronounce with certainty on this element, the most important of positive geology. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 3 It means the superposition of a severe discipline upon our faculties, a purification of the will, directed by more ultimate considerations. Problems of Conduct The chart given on page 295 is thus based on the law of superposition and the law of the evolution of organisms. The Elements of Geology No well having been dug in these countries, we can have no information respecting the superposition of the strata. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 1 Thus, apart from its order of superposition, its greater antiquity than the Norwich and glacial beds, already described, is proved by the greater departure from the fauna of our seas. The Student's Elements of Geology No measure of altitude had been attempted beyond the province of Quito; no rock of South America had been named; there existed no description of the superposition of rocks in any region of the tropics. Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 3 The root of the trouble is that, in spite of the superposition of conscience upon their primitive impulses, human organisms have not yet motor-mechanisms fully adjusted to their individual or combined needs. Problems of Conduct Nor can the law of superposition be used in identifying and comparing the strata of different regions where the formations cannot be traced continuously from one region to the other. The Elements of Geology Method in the superposition of the floors and economy of space are here the absolute rule. Bramble-Bees and Others Such a mode of superposition implies an interval of time between the origin of the fresh-water limestone and its submergence beneath the waters of the Upper Miocene sea. The Student's Elements of Geology This would prove a prolongation of the strata of Jura limestone below the sea and a superposition of coral rock on that limestone.* Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America, During the Year 1799-1804 — Volume 3 This formation is in many parts overlaid, in the usual order of superposition, by streams of basaltic lava, which near the coast compose nearly the whole surface. Volcanic Islands The child's character is the nucleus of the man's; all after-education is but superposition; the form of the crystal remains the same. Character We know well what great influence is exercised by the multiplicity of talents, superpositions, knowledge, and apprehensions. Criminal Psychology; a manual for judges, practitioners, and students It has long been suspected that the different patches of Red Crag are not all of the same age, although their chronological relation can not be decided by superposition. The Student's Elements of Geology The age of the Connecticut beds can not be proved by direct superposition, but may be presumed from the general structure of the country. The Student's Elements of Geology As often as he meets with new groups, he must ascertain by superposition their age relatively to those first examined, and thus learn how to intercalate them in a tabular arrangement of the whole. The Student's Elements of Geology There are three principal tests by which we determine the age of a given set of strata; first, superposition; secondly, mineral character; and, thirdly, organic remains. The Student's Elements of Geology They occupy the lowest place in the order of superposition. The Student's Elements of Geology On passing this line, and continuing towards the S.E., the formations 4, 3, and 2, are again repeated, in the same relative order of superposition, but with a southerly dip.
