Popular spirit

Socialist Realism was, above all, a political-aesthetic doctrine based upon certain principles of the artistic method , such as ideological commitment ideinost ), party-mindedness partiinost ), popular spirit narodnosf), historicism , and typicality . 

Mineral spirits, a type of petroleum distillate popular for use in solvent-based house paints, consist mainly of aUphatic hydrocarbons with a trace of aromatics. This type of solvent finds use in oil- and alkyd-based house paints because of its good solvency with typical house paint binders and its relatively slow evaporation rate which imparts good bmshabiUty, open-time, and leveling. Other properties include lower odor, relatively lower cost, as well as safety and health hazard characteristics comparable to most other organic solvents. 

Because of a soft, not a spirited edge, the French martini has a double appeal as a cocktail and as an aperitif. Variations incorporate Lillet, and a variety of fruit juices like pineapple. I have it on some authority, from a rearrived ex-pat, that the drink was popular a few years ago in Paris, on the bar row of the Rue de Lappe. 

In the postwar years a spirit of "chemical boosterism," to use a term coined in a recent historical study, emerged in the United States. A group of chemists, chemical journalists and science popularizers acted as propagandists for the chemical profession and industry. Their message, delivered with conviction to the public through a variety of popular publications, was that chemistry was vital to the national defense and to economic progress. One of the more active of these chemical boosters was Charles Holmes Herty, and his efforts to establish a national institute for drug research must be viewed within this context (11).

In this book, we define cooperativity in probabilistic terms. This is not the most common or popular definition, yet it conveys the spirit and essence of what researchers mean when they use this term. Since the partition function embodies the probabilities of the occupancy events, the definition of cooperativity can...

Maintenance and Production Activities Parts cleaning is a common component of maintenance and production activities. These activities often involve the removal of bulk or gross contamination. In the past, maintenance activities were conducted mainly with petroleum solvents such as mineral spirits while production activities employed the use of alkaline cleaners. The use of halogenated solvents became popular because they exhibited good solvency for organic contaminants evaporated... 

Paris, becoming the outstanding chemist of the Paris Academy at the end of the seventeenth century. His work was focused on the behavior and composition of neutral salts, an investigation derived from the recently popular medical theory of acid/alkali. Earlier experience in the century had established the pattern of neutralization of an acid by an alkali, a pattern of mutual destruction of properties. The available acids were the vitriolic or spirit of sulphur, spirit of nitre, spirit of sea salt, and acid of vinegar. The only alkali was salt of tartar (potassium carbonate). Lime was known but possessed a separate identity, not clearly classed as either alkali or earth. 

Nicholas Lemery (1645-1715 CE) was a corpuscularian who favored a five-element theory (water, spirit, oil, salt, and earth). His acid/alkali theory invoked spikes on an acid that interacted with the pores of the base. In 1675 CE in Paris, he published Cours de Chymie, a textbook that was translated into English, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish and was popular for more than fifty years. In this book, he espoused the Cartesian corpuscular mechanism (45). 

In spite of a decline over the past 50 years, whiskeys are still the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage group in the United States (Table 1) (1). However, vodka consumption has increased significandy to 22% of total distilled spirits in 1990. 

Equation of state research has returned recently to the spirit of van der Waals, that is, cubic equations with two constants. Many equations of this form have been proposed.13 Two popularly accepted equations of state in the petroleum industry, Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson, are cubic equations with two empirical constants. These equations have been used widely to calculate physical properties and vapor-liquid equilibria of hydrocarbon mixtures. 

The English brothers and the lit match were all part of a scientific investigation of seances—gatherings where people called mediums claimed to contact spirits of the dead. Seances were part of a movement called Spiritualism that became popular in the United States and Russia in the late nineteenth century. 

Vermouth is officially classified as an "aromatized fortified wine," referring to its derivation from a white base wine fortified and infused with a proprietary set of different plant parts barks, seeds, and fruit peels. These are collectively termed botanicals. Vermouths are particularly popular in Europe and in the United States (Amerine et al., 1980 Griebel, 1955 Panesar et al., 2009). The term "vermouth" is derived from the German word for wormwood Wermut. It is supposedly derived from Wer (man) and Mut (courage, spirit, manhood Pilone, 1954). When vermouth was introduced into Bavaria in the first half of the seventeenth century, by the Piedmont producer Alessio, Artemisia absinthium was probably translated literally as Wermutwein. When it reached France, it was changed to vermouth (Liddle and Boero, 2003). 

The electrostatic part, Wg(ft), can be evaluated with the reaction field model. The short-range term, i/r(Tl), could in principle be derived from the pair interactions between molecules [21-23], This kind of approach, which can be very cumbersome, may be necessary in some cases, e.g. for a thorough analysis of the thermodynamic properties of liquid crystals. However, a lower level of detail can be sufficient to predict orientational order parameters. Very effective approaches have been developed, in the sense that they are capable of providing a good account of the anisotropy of short-range intermolecular interactions, at low computational cost [6,22], These are phenomenological models, essentially in the spirit of the popular Maier-Saupe theory [24], wherein the mean-field potential is parameterized in terms of the anisometry of the molecular surface. They rely on the physical insight that the anisotropy of steric and dispersion interactions reflects the molecular shape. 

Turning to fine fragrances for inspiration has several advantages for the perfumer. Of all branches of perfumery, fine fragrance perfumery is most directly tied to fashion and life style. Innovations in tune with the spirit of the time first turn up here. Moreover it is often desirable to lend functional products an aura of luxury and elegance. What could be more effective in conveying such an aura than a note reminiscent of a popular fine fragrance ...
