Providentialism

The discoveries brought to light from time to time which tend to the confirmation of the truth of Scripture are well deserving of our consideration. These discoveries, whether they result from investigation of the scenes of nature, or from researches into the records of history, though they often appear to be casually and unexpectedly made, are, no doubt, providentially concerted by Divine wisdom to take place at the very period when they are most required, or most calculated to produce their effect. Theyare presented to the reflection of mankind with design a 6... 

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. 

This is indeed a scientific revolution spectral analysis means we may analyse the chemical composition of luminous or absorbent gases without ever even touching them. When asked how it is that astronomers can know the composition of the stars, we may answer that they have learnt to decode the subtle talk of light. Atoms emit or absorb notes of light. This is perhaps the most providential circumstance in astronomy. 

The shortage of oil and natural gas has been reflected in shortages and spiraling prices for polymers based on petrochemical resources. Providentially, such polymers may be in part replaced by lignocellulosic materials that are the most abundant and most economical organic renewable resources available. In their natural state as wood and plant fibers, and as the principal constituent used in the manufacture of paper, textile fibers, and many other industrial products, lignocellulosic materials will continue to be fundamental to human welfare. 

The decision of CML s authors to base a new chemical format on XML was very providential, even though at the time of CML s creation XML did not have today s general acceptance. In the meantime XML has become widely supported, and many other formats were based on its foundations. 

After examining how Boerhaave s ideas on matter and motion are in essence knowledge of God and His providential hand in nature, we must now mrn to the question how Boerhaave apphed his Calvinist chemistry on a practical level. I shall argue that Boerhaave s Calvinist chemistry, incorporated a particular Dutch Calvinist method of experimenting. 

Perhaps the greatest need for Brueckner-orbital-based methods arises in systems suffering from artifactual symmetry-breaking orbital instabili-ties, " ° where the approximate wavefunction fails to maintain the selected spin and/or spatial symmetry characteristics of the exact wavefunction. Such instabilities arise in SCF-like wavefunctions as a result of a competition between valence-bond-like solutions to the Hartree-Fock equations these solutions typically allow for localization of an unpaired electron onto one of two or more symmetry-equivalent atoms in the molecule. In the ground Ilg state of O2, for example, a pair of symmetry-broken Hartree-Fock wavefunctions may be constructed with the unpaired electron localized onto one oxygen atom or the other. Though symmetry-broken wavefunctions have sometimes been exploited to produce providentially correct results in a few systems, they are often not beneficial or even acceptable, and the question of whether to relax constraints in the presence of an instability was originally described by Lowdin as the symmetry dilemma. ...

It is logically inevitable to assume that we can find the same phenomena [life -G.L.] on other planets. The large scope of life and its significance on our planet does not allow the contemporary natwalist to think that life is an accidental (as Wolles [1822-1913] said providential ) phenomenon, which is not connected with the planetary structure and is not represented in the Cosmos except for Erffth . 

Rhamnolipids from the UG2 strain were able to enhance the solubilization of four-ring PAHs in a bioslurry more significantly than three-ring PAHs and that the biosurfactants were live times more effective than SDS [36], However, high molecular weight PAHs were not biodegraded despite surfactant addition. Providenti et al. [37] also studied the effect of UG2 biosurfactants on phenanthrene mineralization in soil slurries and showed that lag times decreased and degradation increased.

NEXAFS spectroscopy with the basic variation in the absorption fine structure of peptides and proteins supplies a suitable tool to identify and map these in different biological milieux. Providentially, the spectra of large molecules often look like a sum of the functional groups present allowing for the building block assumption [2], Although this approach is usually applied to small molecules as for instance benzene and alanine [38] systems with increased complexity as peptides built by two or three monomer units have been used to demonstrate the applicability of the building block approach [39] the spectra of the peptides are similar to the sum of the spectra of the amino acid components [40].
