Beauty standards

Social changes like new beauty standards and food habits resulted in the development of new industries... 

After a complete study of quantitative factors, the selection of the building or buildings must be considered. Standard factory buildings are to be desired but if none can be found satisfactory to handle the space and process requirements of the chemical engineer, an architect specializing in this area should be consulted to design a building around the process - as opposed to a beautiful structure into which a process must fit. 

Because of its beauty and rarity, gold bullion is still used as the international standard for money, accepted as such by all nations. It is also used in jewelry, in dentistry, and as a protective or decorative coating on the surface of other metals. Gold has even been used in space vehicles. Though men have fought and died for gold down through the centuries, the element has comparatively few uses. 

In this notation, the ratio of 2H to H in the sample is compared to the same ratio in an internationally agreed standard material. If the ratio in the sample is identical to that in the standard, then the 8 value (<52H, or 5D) is zero. If the sample is isotopically heavier than the standard, the 2H/1H ratio in the sample is greater than that in the standard, and 8 becomes positive. If the sample is isotopically lighter, then the top line becomes negative, and 8 becomes negative. The units (because of the multiplication by 1000) are known as per mil (or parts per thousand ), symbolized as %o. The beauty of the 8 notation is that if 8 becomes more positive as it is fractionated, then the sample is getting isotopically heavier, and vice versa. Thus the direction of the fractionation relative to the standard can immediately be discerned... 

Evan Brewster was no longer ugly to him. . . and Neil saw dimly what a piece of impertinence it had been for the Caucasians to set up their own anemic dryness as the correct standard of beauty.66... 

The King shares his royal dignity with noble Venus, and appears in splendid state, surrounded by all the dignitaries of his court. Before him is borne a beautiful crimson banner, in which there is an embroidered representation of Charity in green garments. Saturn is the prefect of the royal household, and in front of him Astronomy bears a black standard, with a representation of Faith in yellow and red garments. 

The beauty of this completely random approach to the analyte detection limit is the direct applicability of the statistical hypothesis testing formalism. Also, long-term trends in calibration slope or backgrounds have little influence. One important assumption is made that the form of the calibration curve [Equation 2c] is fixed. Also, a subtle change has occurred, the operation is no longer linear, with A in the denominator. Thus, the distribution of x is only asymptotically normal, as the relative standard deviation of becomes smaller. 

Similarity is a fundamental concept that has been used since before the time of Aristotle. Even in the sciences, it has been used for more than two centuries (1). Similarity is subjective and relies upon comparative judgments—there is no absolute standard of similarity, rather like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder. Because of this subjectivity it is difficult to develop methods for unambiguously computing the similarities of large sets of molecules (2). Moreover, there is no absolute standard to compare to so that assessing the validity of any similarity-based method remains subjective basically, one must rely upon the... 

The introduction of standard aspherical-atom scattering factors leads to a very significant improvement in Hirshfeld s rigid bond test. The results are a beautiful confirmation of Hirshfeld s (1992) statement that an accurate set of nuclear coordinates (and thermal parameters ) and a detailed map of the electron density can be obtained, via X-ray diffraction, only jointly and simultaneously, never separately or independently . 

Mathematica is a technical software program from Wolfram Research (Champaign, Illinois), With this versatile tool it is possible to draw beautiful Klein bottles as discussed in Chapter 5. The following is a standard recipe for creating Klein bottle shapes using Mathematica. 

A beautiful extension of this reaction has recently been communicated by Nozaki, Oshima, and Utimo-to.184 These workers simply admixed f-butyl iodide (3 equiv.), benzaldehyde (1 equiv.), methyl vinyl ketone (1 equiv.) and triethylborane (1 equiv.) in benzene (Scheme 60). After 5 min at 25 C, the reaction was subjected to standard extractive work-up and the crude product was purified by chromatography to give (54) in 63% yield. If methanol is substituted for benzaldehyde, the protonated product (55) is isolated in 79% yield. Although enones are equivalents of synthon (56), such a direct coupling of radical and ionic reactions had not been achieved previously. 

Those with style are proud of their age. They are active and can communicate. They appear proud to be involved with life. Beautiful, and that s the way it should be. What is the source of this pride Why do only a select few possess it What about those who don t transmit this sense of dignity Most look worn down, defeated, or disinterested. The most significant difference is that those with greatest personal pride seem to have set standards for themselves. They apparently are living up to some self-imposed expectations. 

Most proponents of the field would like to define alternative medicine as the art of using safe, natural methods to get to the root of problems, help the body to heal itself, and prevent diseases before they arise. While this definition sounds beautiful, it is a pure romance. Alternative medicine seldom achieves such an idealized standard. 

The beauty of the mercury manometer is that you can assess its accuracy by simply looking at it. If the mercury meniscus is at zero when there is no pressure in the cuff and the column moves smoothly with inflation and deflation it is accurate and can be used as the gold standard for pressure measurement. All other devices must be calibrated against a...
