Quality ambiguous nature

Spectroscopists also generally fit their data to potential functions of the general form of Eqs. (15) and (16) or some other convenient mathematical expression, and the potential coefficients (the a —s or V —s) are thereby determined. Not all of these coefficients need to be of importance. Some may even vanish for reasons of symmetry. Naturally, it would be desirable to be able to determine those coefficients on which the potential function primarily depends. Particularly for the methyl groups, accurate barriers are now available. The situation is not this fortunate in other cases. Often, rather limited experimental data are accessible. The quality of some of this material may be poor or even ambiguous, and rather arbitrary assumptions are now and then made. As a result, only the first few potential coefficients, often of low precision, are obtained. In fact, even today cases where more than four potential coefficients have been deduced are exceptional. 

Kafka s place in literary modernism can hardly be questioned, yet the precise nature of his linkage to modernist movements as such is complicated. Part of the difficulty arises from the problem of the interpretation of Kafka s notoriously ambiguous texts - a quality that itself is perceived as linked to modernism. While the terms modern and die Moderne (referring both to modernity and to modernism), as they relate to literature, were already current in the period in which Kafka lived and wrote, he did not explicitly identify with the terms nor express concern about what literary modernism should entail. Fie did not rush to join any of the programmatically avant-garde artistic circles current in his day, and his letters and diaries do not betray a preoccupation with the specific concern of how to modernize literature. Nonetheless, the texts he produced have earned him an undisputed place in the modernist canon.
