Limiting sentence

A LIMITING SENTENCE reduces the scope of the topic sentence in some way. There should be only one limiting sentence per paragraph. 

In a DIRECT PARAGRAPH, the first sentence is a topic sentence. The topic sentence is then followed by either supporting sentences or by a limiting sentence. 

In a PIVOTING paragraph the first sentence is a limiting sentence. The limiting sentence is often followed by a supporting sentence, a pivoting sentence, and, finally, the topic sentence. 

In a suspended paragraph, the topic sentence is placed at the end of the paragraph. Meanwhile, supporting and/or limiting sentences are used to build toward the topic sentence. 

Consequently, Eqs. (43) and (59) are identical, for applications in a 3D parameter space, except that the vector product in the former is expressed as a commutator in the latter. Both are computed as diagonal elements of combinations of strictly off-diagonal operators and both give gauge independent results. Equally, however, both are subject to the limitations with respect to the choice of surface for the final integration that are discussed in the sentence following Eq. (43). 

There is no doubt that the most important parameter in the organisms familiar to us is water content. The lapidary sentence no life without water is valid for all aspects of biogenesis, whether on the primeval Earth or on another heavenly body. The life processes in all living species known to Man are based on liquid water, which has a number of special properties (Brack, 1993). The dehydrating effect of a high vacuum is assumed to be the most important limiting factor in the transport of microbes between heavenly bodies. This effect would naturally depend on the time required for such a transfer, since some spores can survive for what are, in cosmic dimensions, short periods. 

One may compare this result with that of Section 1.2. The vibrational part of (1.13) is again identical to Eq. (1.68). The rotational part is, however, missing in the one-dimensional problem. It is worth commenting on this special feature of the vibrational problem. It arises from the fact that molecular potentials usually have a deep minimum at r = re. For small amplitude motion (i.e., for low vibrational states) one can therefore make the approximation discussed in the sentence following Eq. (1.13) of replacing r by re in the centrifugal term. In this most extreme limit of molecular rigidity, the vibrational motion is the same in one, two and three dimensions. 

The important word in this sentence is predict. It is important, in my opinion, to make a distinction between existence and predictability. Prigogine himself said (much later, in La Fin des Certitudes, LG.7) Every dynamical system must, of course, follow a trajectory, solution of its equations, independently of the fact that we may or may not construct it. Thus, a trajectory exists but cannot be predicted. The impossibility of prediction is therefore related to the impossibility of defining an instantaneous state (in the framework of classical mechanics) as a limit of a finite region of phase space (thus a limit of a result of a set of measurements). For an unstable system, such a region will be deformed and will end up covering almost all of phase space. The necessity of introducing statistical methods appears to me to be due to the practical (rather than theoretical) impossibility of determining a mathematical point as an initial condition. 

Grammar refers to the hundreds of rules that govern sentences. Space confines limit this book s discussion of those rules to three of the most common errors ... 

Courts have quite accurately described the scope of the sentencing court s discretion as breathtaking, and commentators have observed that any legislative limitations on that discretion are conspicuously absent. One recent media account suggested that the content of special conditions is limited only by the sentencing judge s imagination. [(Footnotes omitted.)]... 

Write a sentence or short statement related to a topic that you are knowledgeable about (e.g., a hobby, favorite sport, type of music) as if you were writing to a friend with a similar interest. Then translate that sentence (or statement) for a person who has limited knowledge of the topic. 

Concise Several countries have established levels (recommended maximum limits, RMLs) for PCBs in dietary products, such as fish, meats, and eggs, with RMLs of -2000, 200-2000, and 100-300 ng/g, respectively. (1 sentence, 31 words)... 

Excerpt 7C is the abstract from Boesten et al. (2001), one of the six key articles referred to throughout this module. The article is published in Organic Letters, which limits abstracts to no more than 75 words. This particular abstract contains 67 words and only three sentences. The first sentence accomplishes move 1, the second sentence (with the graphic) addresses moves 2 and 3, and the last sentence accomplishes move 3. Quite concise, don t you agree ... 

Think about the take-home message that you want your viewers to get from your poster. How can you best summarize your work Try to limit your take-home message to one or two sentences. 

The largest number of citations is found in the Introduction sections of journal articles, posters, and research proposals, consistent with the purposes of the section. Introductions of both journal articles and research proposals often include 15 or more citations in opening paragraphs (often with multiple citations in a single sentence). Far fewer citations (sometimes even none) are included in poster Introductions because of space limitations and the poster s role in emphasizing new results. 

Rule 7 If the word which is used to introduce a nonrestrictive clause (i.e., extra information that does not limit the meaning of the sentence s main message), place a comma before the which and after the additional information. (See Which/That , under Word Usage below, for more information.)... 

Use an interesting lead-in sentence to open your essay—if you can think of one fast. You only have a limited amount of time, so don t waste precious moments coming up with something clever. It s better to get writing. You can always add a catchy opening later. 

E) NO EFFECT ON AUTHORITY. Nothing in this subsection limits the authority of the United States to bring an enforcement action under this Act when a drug lacks appropriate pediatric labeling. Neither course of action (the Pediatric Advisory Committee process or an enforcement action referred to in the preceding sentence) shall preclude, delay, or serve as the basis to stay the other course of action. 

While the word confidence in the previous sentence occurs in its everyday use, the term is also used in Statistics in a precise manner, analogously to the statistical terms Normal and significant. Confidence intervals constitute a range of values that are defined by the lower limit and the upper limit of the interval. These limits are symmetrically placed on either side of the sample mean. A commonly used Cl is the 95% Cl. A commonly expressed view of a 95% Cl is that one can be 95% certain that... 

Perhaps the easiest form of brainstorming is listing. Jot down ideas in response to the prompt on the scratch paper in the test booklet. Don t worry about creating complete sentences—keep your ideas short, limiting them to words or phrases. You may even want to abbreviate certain words to save time. After you ve listed about a dozen ideas, link those that go together by drawing lines between them, and eliminate those that either veer off the topic or are redundant. Choose the three ideas that will be easiest to develop (ones for which you ve already come up with examples of and evidence for).
