Inquisition, the

Finally, while it is evident that even traditional processes operate on structures at the nano- and mesoscales, new measurement methods and manipulation techniques will allow us to consider more systematic control at these levels in the future. While this is an absorbing playground for materials scientists, and may well provide routes to controlled delivery of high-value ingredients, we are fortunate that the consumer is also inquisitive. The novel sensory impressions these sophisticated new structures can provide may also result in real commercial value. 

One of the important differences between a person accused of crime and one accused of mental illness is that the former is often allowed bail, whereas the latter never is. This distinction too may be found in the Inquisition. The question of bail for suspected heretics was considered by the fifteenth[Pg.53]

Consider, for example, Zilboorg s History of Medical Psychology First published in 1941, and widely accepted as a classic in medical and psychiatric historiography, it is a volume composed of 606 closely set pages, the last 16 of which make up the Index. Yet this Index lists no entry for Jews, for anti-Semitism, or for the Spanish Inquisition. The single entry for Spain is a laudatory reference to the establishment of mental hospitals there in the fifteenth century. ... 

Cosmology in its present form developed as a by-product of Einstein s gravitational field equations, based on the astronomical data of the previous millenium, which established the heliocentric model of the solar system. The struggle against the authority of Ptolemy, Aristotle and the Inquisition, the rivalry between Kepler and Galileo, and the intrigue between Newton and his contemporaries, Descartes, Leibniz, Hooke and others, overshadow the important theoretical advances that produced the mechanical clockwork model of Laplace. 

This inquisitiveness also sets the stage for the beginning of the design by defining the environment in which the power supply must operate. This then forms the basis of the design specification of the power supply. 

Parsons was, first and foremost, a compulsive inventor. He spent his days inventing everything from children s toys to the Auxetophoiie, a mechanical amplifier for stringed musical instruments. His success as an inventor lies in his inquisitive nature and the fact that he was equally comfortable with the-oity and practice. 

Often the authors set their own ground rules in a probably futile attempt to satisfy the inquisitiveness of those from another technical discipline in an expeditious manner, and yet not to incur the criticism of those highly knowledgeable in the subject area. The writers have followed this important but perilous course. 

The ease of access to data, showing a modified graph within 3 seconds of the easily entered requests, does indeed help the chemist to explore the data more inquisitively - something that fully justifies the extra software effort put in to give user friendliness. 

The applicability of such VS in combination with tools available include situations where portions of any molecule need replacement with bioisosteric fragments. In this regard, BROOD software [105] and MOE [222] provide automated tools for fragment removal, replacement, and minimization to relieve any strain in the molecular assembly step and provide a database of fragments(isosteres) that could be enhanced in custom fashion by an enterprise as well. These software allow facile FBVS in 3D. Since this software has become available within the last 2 years, there seem to be a dearth of use cases in the published literature. However, anecdotal reports indicate that these are being used regularly in industry and the Websites of these two vendors provide adequate information for the inquisitive reader. 

Well, I shan t tell you anything about it, you nasty, inquisitive brat It s my affair, not yours. The ale had cooled a little, and it tasted like summer, sweet and heady.

The Inquisition did not even deliberate long over such people. Only during the Enlightenment was this ancient question once again raised, and eventually experimentally and theoretically answered. 

Chemistry Connections The Chemical Basis of Everyday Phenomena highlights the fundamental role of chemical principles in governing our everyday experiences and observations. This collection of contemporary real-world examples of chemistry in action is written in a question-and-answer format with presentations in both lay and technical terms of the chemical principles underlying numerous familiar phenomena and topical curiosities. Introductory college chemistry students and educators as well as laypersons with an inquisitiveness about the world around them will find the book an informative introduction to the context of chemistry in their lives. 

Yet one would imagine it must have been practiced in secret before. Such creatures as Siamese Twins. And in the vaults of the Inquisition. No doubt their chief aim was artistic torture, but some, at least, of the inquisitors must have had a touch of scientific curiosity.. .. (55) But, said I. These things—these animals talkl ... 

It must be admitted that the designs and hierolgyphics of these ancient monuments exhibit striking instances of that evidence which, from time to time, seems unexpectedly, and, as it were, providentially to burst upon us in an inquisitive age, in proportion as it is qualified by learning and science to apprehend the application and to attend to the importance of such discoveries, whether bearing on the historical relations, or the miraculous events described in Scripture. 

How far Cyrus was led to examine and consider the prophecies and communications imparted in the Scriptures must be left to conjecture. Some information, upon important points, we cannot doubt him to have received. He himself had been brought up in reverence for the Supreme Being, and he was inquisitive, and inclined to respect even the superstitions of other countries. 

In Hawkesbury, Mark found the state of the laboratory just as Thorne and Wang had described. The laboratory equipment was outdated, and the scientists were employing the older, conventional, empirical methods. Clearly, the laboratory was well behind in the principles and procedures advocated by the new schools of high molecular weight chemistry in Europe. Even Mark, who was very well known throughout Europe, required introduction. Yet, despite these problems, modernization of the laboratories was not difficult. Above it all, Mark was greeted by enthusiastic, inquisitive coworkers and sufficient capital to initiate the required changes. 

This volume and the previous are indispensable to the specialist. They should also reach a wider audience because they contain lively, inquisitive and provocative writing."—Journal of the American Chemical Society reviewing Vol. 3.297pp... 

Closely related to an ability to analyze and to understand people is an instinctively curious mind. Both facilitate investigation and revelation of facts—an important function of any lawyer, which like other aspects increases in importance with increasing complexity of subject matter. Chemists inherently tend to be inquisitive. This trait will help the chemist-tumed-lawyer during interviewing of witnesses, examining of witnesses by oral depositions, or in open court. When cross-examining witnesses, he will follow the witness s mental processes, learn what he may be holding back, and perhaps extract testimony that will be helpful to the lawyers case.
