In a sentence beginning, "The head officer[,] or his designee[,] shall..." are the bracketed commas appropriate? If so, could you explain the formal grammar rule that would require them? I'm a legal proofreader; if I suggest commas, it must be ascribed to a formal grammar rule, rather than personal choice. (And as a bonus question, is the comma I placed before "rather" necessary?)
Is there a word to concisely say 'an unavoidable sin'? Or maybe just a better way to say it. This is in the context for example of someone who habitually does some particular activity and then regrets it afterwards.
In Mormon missionary culture, they use the word "trunky" to describe the feeling at the end of their two-year mission when they are tired, ready to go home, and are mentally packing their trunks to go home. They have mentally checked out from their mission at hand. I'm looking for a commonly used word or phrase that means generally the same thing as "trunky".
What's the word to describe someone who acts arrogantly and always disagrees with others unreasonably in order to upset people around him/her? [I'm not looking for adjectives like unpleasant, annoying, unfriendly, rude, I'm looking for a more specific term like opinionated, didactic, loquacious, gregarious ] I think I'd come across it before but I've forgotten what it is..
Which is your most favourite subject in school ? What is your most favourite subject in school ? Which one is acceptable? If both are acceptable, do they have any difference in meaning?
What is the exact meaning of the sentence below? We can't try to get away with something in an academic paper that we would abhor in a political debate (or worse yet, in a political advertisement). The sentence is from the first paragraph of the article 'Being Logical'. Especially, where does the something belong initially? In an academic paper or in a political debate?
I have existing .tex file and want to create similar one. I am doing this by saving the file with another name, I just click "save as", but it won't be saved as a .tex file. Instead it creates .bak file or something else that cannot be compiled any more. What is the problem and what I'm doing wrong?
I'm curious as to how to construct an infinite variable polynomial. Is there an nice formulation of such a thing? I've attempted using functions and functionals to construct one, but that didn't lead anywhere. I need it to find a separatrix for a functional-differential system of equations. I'm very appreciative of any help.
All I have to do is run the plastic comb through my hair and hover it over small pieces of paper, right? The comb should then be charged and attract the pieces of paper... but that doesn't seem to work. I've used the tiniest bits of paper too. What's happening?
How many elements are there in a total ordering T of a set A with |A| = n? I have no clue on how to do this problem. If someone could let me know how to start the problem, it would be much appreciated.thanks
Is there a way to construct lists by multiple instances of a field instead of using and or comma, respectively? E.g., instead of @article{FooBar, ... author = {John Doe and Richard Roe}, keywords={foo, bar}, ... } I would like to get the same result in the reference by @article{FooBar, ... author = {John Doe}, author = {Richard Roe}, keyword={foo}, keyword={bar}, ... }
I am using the tcolorbox package, and I want to use a gradient ellipse title box with border on the titlepage. It is possible somehow or I have to use another package to manage this?
I have heard someone say "As a consultant, Dave can charge orbital fees, so we would rather have you do it." I tried to look up "orbital" but did not find what I was expecting.
I am not a native speaker and yesterday someone told me that "She got her first child" would be misunderstood and "She had her first child" is correct. Now I wonder if this is a 'local' thing here in Wales or a general 'rule'.
The following is taken from a website: Sir, do you realize your wife fell out of the car several miles back? The expression fell out here, as I checked in the dictionary, doesn't make any sense. Does it mean fell off?
When a Force is applied on a body at rest, it produces Acceleration which is equal to change in Velocity. But due to the Force, we see that the Velocity is increasing consequently. So why don't we take both of them proportional to each other rather than Force and Acceleration?
I wanted to use a header which looks like the image attached below. At first I tried using a fbox with a parbox but I had issues with the right widths because the text wasn't properly aligned at all. What would be your attempt at mimicking the style of the first three lines in the sample?
I want to apolagize in advance if the questions are too easy but I tried on my own and apparently I didn't make it, so please help.Also write down every single step in the solutions without omitting anything that you may consider as obvious. First task:
I have two questions. The first question: What are the differences in meaning and grammar between "until you listen to me" and "until you start listening to me"? I'm hoping that someone can help me here. But there is another question: What are the differences between 'I'm hoping' and 'I hope'?
Would it be considered a malapropism to substitute a word or portion of a word in a phrase with another word or portion of a word, generally rhyming with the original word, and generally considered an offensive replacement? For example, the term "Election Day" substituted with "Erection Day" or the company name "Pizza Hut" to "Pizza Slut"?
Here, in the place where I am being hosted, almost every evening there is an event usually called "burlesque". Is "burlesque" normally used by Americans? How is the word used generally? In what context do we refer to this word?
If a function has countably infinite number of discontinuities, can it still be called piecewise continuous [say greatest integer function]? I read that a piecewise continuous has finitely many discontinuities. Thanks for the help in advance.
I have found increasingly that I am accidentally typing ctrl-d instead of ctrl-f only to silently comment out an entire paragraph I am working on. Is there a way to disable ctrl-d ? Ideally I would still like to be able to comment out paragraphs so if it can be mapped to some other keyboard shortcut that would be even better.
Imagine the 'Bishop' chess piece. The four directions that it can move can be called 'diagonal'. Similarly the 'Castle' moves in the horizontal and vertical directions. Is there a single word that describes this movement?
Can you please tell me if my comma in the following statement is correct? Should there be a comma after "questions" as it is below? Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the number below.
The only meaning of "ass" I knew until today was the fleshy body part. But what I read today on a shopping receipt shocked me. One of the items mentioned there was Other ass. Surely that shop doesn't sell body parts. So does this word have some other meaning or is it just a spelling mistake?
I would like to know whether there are mathematical models for the processes of melting (like an ice-cream melting on the biscuit rather than snow) and weaving (or interweaving). If so, of what kind? If you need more specification, please tell me. Thanks in advance.
From the common English grammar lesson, the past perfect tense with had is usually followed by dependent clause. For example: He had studied English before he moved to New York. Now, if I want to say something like this: Yes, I had turned off the lamp. or I had made two mistakes: ... ... Is it allowed in English grammar?
Is it true that the number of arbitrary constants in the solution (if solutions exist) always equal to the order of an ordinary differential equation? If yes, how to "prove" such a statement, if it can be proved at all? If no, what are typical counterexamples?
A haven is a place that is safe. So, "safe haven" is redundant. Shockingly, several state legislatures have even passed laws for dropping off babies with no penalty; these laws are usually referred to as "safe haven" laws.
There are lots of good apps for teaching mathematics to children but I would like to learn about apps for undergraduate/graduate/research levels. Helper questions Any algebra system (like Maple, Sage)? Interactive geometry (like GeoGebra, Cabri, etc)? What else?
I'd like to put am image in a certain position on the title page in beamer. I also don't want it to interrupt the text flow, i.. I want the image to appear "behind" the text. Any ideas?
"There is no man outside the house" "There is not a man outside the house" "There was no solution to the problem" "There was not a solution to the problem" Can I use both of them? Are the sentences equivalent? Which one is more idiomatic?
Is it possible to have a clickable "copy to clipboard" feature in a PDF document generated by LaTeX? Ideally in the form of a macro that also allows for graphical elements to be embedded inside it (to make, say, a custom button that, when clicked, copies something to the clipboard). Edit: An Acrobat only solution will work too.
I am looking for a phrase that compares two characters that share very similar attributes and characteristics. Prufrock and Hamlet truly are [ ... ] I don't want something like "very much alike" or "similar"or anything like that. Rather, I'm looking for a distinct phrase to describe this.
I know we use normal linear regression for modeling functions on datasets, but can someone explain how neural networks help in approximating more complex functions, especially when they are nonlinear? Intuitively, what does each layer adds to the whole process of approximation? What I am looking for is an explanation of how neural networks approximate functions, and not a comparison with the biological neurons.
We know the values of the coordinates (Xa,Ya), (Xb,Yb), and (Xc,Yc). We also know the lengths of A, B, and C. Is there a way (equation) to figure out the exact coordinates where the three lines A, B, and C intersect (the x? and y?). I assume you could rotate all three of the lines until eventually they matched up.
Deal all, I am looking for a gentle introduction to algebraic invariant theory (for a Bachelor project) with some simple (but interesting) applications in representation theory (of finite groups, of Lie algebras). Thanks for your help!
Is there a single word or a couple single words that would describe the situation of not being able to fully express/explain your feelings or emotions to someone so that you can get them to understand your situation or point of view? This doesn't quite include feelings.
I am looking for a word or an idiom about showing respect to someone superior in work because you are afraid of him. I'm not talking about real respect or showing respect to him or his works, just getting scared by his ruthless actions. Is there a word or an idiom for respecting someone because you are afraid of him?
There is a sentence: I am grateful to Mr. White for A and B[,] and to Mr. Black for C and D. Should I put a comma before "and to Mr. Black" or not?
Has anyone proved or disproved that there are a finite number of minor-closed graph families? If not, what is the general belief in the math community? Alternately, is there another approach (not using minors) to classifying undirected graphs?
I've just learned about removable discontinuities. So, when we have such a function we redefine it, making a new function that is defined at the point the first isn't. What is the point of this? What advantages do we get? Wouldn't making it continuous cause problems when we use it instead of the old one?
We all know that we can see anything because of Light Absorption and all. We can hear things because of caused vibrations. But what makes an object smell? I read somewhere about the presence of odorous chemical compounds in the objects which makes them smell. Then, What gives smell to those odorous chemical compounds?
If a hypothetical cylinder was infinitely long, could it vibrate at any frequency, since any frequency would be a harmonic of it? And (less hypothetically) if a cylinder was only really long, would it have a similar effect? I'm talking specifically about sound waves (and more specifically, trumpets).
Is it possible to use the character set available in the "Webdings" OpenType font which is installed on my PC using XeLaTeX? Other non-symbol fonts seem to work fine, but I just get boxes for every character I try in this font, and other symbol fonts like Wingdings etc.
When are two natural transformations between two functors considered the same? When are two morphisms in a category considered the same? Do we have such a notion like we have in Set theory? Thanks
Does the adjective Machiavellian always have a capital letter? For example: The Machiavellian Iago manipulates Othello into believing his wife, Desdemona, had an affair. Not sure if this is anything to go by but, Microsoft Word corrects the word to have a capital. I am not sure if this is also the case when it is an adjective.
Does a diagonal matrix commute with every other matrix of the same size? I'm stuck on one line of a proof that I am writing, and I would like to switch order between a non-diagonal and a diagonal matrix. Thanks,
I'm trying to find a simple and easy to understand example of a free module that has bases of differing sizes. We were told about the existence of them in class but no example was given.
The name of our research center is Southeastern Transportation Center, STC is the acronym, of course. In writing, I use STC, not 'the STC' but our director says 'the' is needed so that it reads well. For example, I write: STC supports graduate education.; director says it should be The STC supports graduate education. Ruling?
I'm confused by this sentence: "Lakesha hopes to win the approval of her mother by switching her major from fine arts to med." I think that in this case hope is intransitive, and I think the part "to win....mother" is working as an adverbial infinitive phrase. Is it the object?
I can't clearly get this phrase. Is it related to the "kick out the jams"? Or "jam" means the song/jazz improvisation, so what does "kick out" mean in that case? The context is "they are kicking out the last jam of their set".
Okay, so everywhere I've read, I hear the main difference is the requirement of a medium. But for example, if you take the case of heat 'radiating' from a red-hot iron, isn't that actually convection and not radiation? I mean, isn't the temperature difference between the surrounding air and the iron causing the air to gain heat?
I'd like to use tikz to shade an isosceles triangle with points A B C and length of AB and AC are equal. Shading should go from AB (red) to AC (green) where the color on a line through A always stays the same. I have found such a shading for circles but unfortunately not yet for triangles... Thanks in advance Jan
My teacher gave me an error identification question, which is : "An itch resulting when a nerve that can carry pain is only slightly stimulated". I have a feeling the word "resulting" is a fault but don't know how to use it properly or if it needs change. Please help me.
Is it possible to use the phrase: "We are meeting at last" when two people meet for the first time? For example, in a movie one person said: "We meet at last". Why did he use the present simple instead of present continuous? I mean, this was an action, which was happening at the moment of speaking.
What is the physical meaning of the fractional integral and fractional derivative? And many researchers deal with the fractional boundary value problems, and what is the physical background? What is the applications of the fractional boundary value problem?
The question and my attempt can be found here: https://i.stack.imgur.com/WSkbv.jpg I don't quite understand what i'm suppose to do. It says to prove the inequality with whatever so I tried to substitute and then factor and I thought it would just work out, but it didn't. Thanks
Speaking of probability distribution, Can someone kindly tell how and when I use binomial distribution and uniform distribution in real life situations? I understand their mathematical formulas but I want to be able to choose the right one to perform when a certain problem is given to me to analyze. Thank you in advance.
I have seen lots of answers proving this theorem via induction. However, I'd like to know how to prove that every digraph such as all vertices have in degree equal to its out degree is Eulerian, using the concept of maximum trail. Does anyone have a clue?
I have a question in my text book that asks me to simplify the above expression. I reached the solution: However, the textbook gives the answer as: I appreciate that the value of these two expressions is the same. However, I am unsure as to how and why the answer above was reached instead of my answer.
I'd like to draw a partial arrow (i.e. with only "half" of the tip) but with a triangular tip shape (e.g. using >=latex), instead of the standard single line you get with "left to", "right to", etc. The result should be something like the following image: How can I achieve this? I haven't seen any such tip in the TikZ/PGF manual.
I would like to find a suitable word, that summarises data like different body parts' circumferences. What I could think of is 'Body Information', but it sounds bad at least for my non-native ears, and I don't know whether there is something better.
CERN recently stated that antimatter may be repelled by matter, much like the opposite effect of Gravity. So is it possible that antimatter is actually repelled to the edges of the Universe to create a sort of outer-shell, something that allows the expansion of the Universe into nothingness.
I am interested in having a local change to the default theme of beamer. I want every title in the beginning of a slide to be boldfaced, black (instead of purplish, black) with a horizontal line that stretches below it, with some margin between the line and the end points of the slide. Is that possible to do with beamer?
Dictionary.com lists plagiarist as the noun form of plagiarism and lists plagiarizer as the noun form of plagiarize. I do not see the distinction of the separate entries and expected both words to be listed as noun forms.
I was studying a photoelectric simulation (http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/photoelectric) and I observed a really unusual thing. When I held intensity and potential at a constant value and then varied the frequency I observed that there was peak in photocurrent. That is, it first increased when moving towards ultraviolet and then decreased. Please try it yourself and explain.
I am a graduate student. I wanted to do computation on heat transfer problem mainly heat convection. I am working on turbulent regime. Can you kindly suggest some good books so that I can get introduced and then use a few as references for my research from a physics perspective.
How flexible is the measurement "a dozen"? If there are nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand people at a rally it is acceptable to say one million people attended, but if eleven people are arrested is it acceptable to round up to a dozen?
Offhand, I'd say it's a variation of the bouffant with a bun on top. It transcends generations. Here's a fairly famous painting by John Sloan: And, almost a hundred years later, here's Captain Janeway:
I am writing a paper on terrorism throughout social media, yet I cannot find a way to phrase the state of horror within a country. My sentence is as follows, "Terrorist attacks are detrimental to the families of its victims as well as the (state of horror/fear) within the country."
If I had bought insurance for the trip, I would have got a refund after I got sick and had to cancel. OR If I had bought insurance for the trip, I would have got a refund after I had got sick and (had) had to cancel. ?
Obviously experiment is the end-all-be-all of any science, but I'm curious if there's any a priori reason to model space as Euclidean three-space (from a pre-relativity viewpoint, of course; I'm ignoring the fact that space is only locally Euclidean). I'm comfortable with differential geometry if it's necessary.
Note this question is not a duplicate of this question because that question does not address the use of "far more". It sounds strange to me but it's probably perfectly fine. "Many more" or "far more people" sounds better. The example sentence: Much more people came to the party last time.
The situation is as shown above. Now, to explain why the bottom disk rises, I applied Bernoulli's Equation at a point just below and just above the disk.The pressure difference hence obtained should push the disk up. Even though this is definitely incorrect, as these two points are not on a streamline, I have no clue as to the correct explanation.
A line from William Golding's The Lord of the Flies: All round him the long scar smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat. Is it just me or does the sentence seem grammatically off?
Several species of fish have names that are both singular and plural form. These include cod, flounder, salmon, and trout, they are used to describe one fish or ten. Does this stem from fish being both singular and plural? Was the irregular plural form passed along to the species of fish?
According to OED, the most common use of "terse" is: Freed from verbal redundancy; neatly concise; compact and pithy in style or language. I've see some usage of terse conciseness, or terse brevity, or similar constructions. To me that seems redundant, even ironic. Am I wrong?
from my understanding,every set has at least two subsets; the null set and the original set itself. My question is, what is the power set of the null set? Shouldn't it be just itself?
Can I somehow use natbib with beamer now? When I try to load the natbib package the file does not compile. There is some old evidence that there is a conflict here: Beamer and Natbib. But maybe this is now rectified?
I am currently spending some time creating a (partial) Liferay translation for the Greek language, and I came upon this original English message text: Your request processed successfully. Can the verb "process" be used intransitively in this manner? Or would this be the correct form? Your request was processed successfully.
John Von Neumann once said to Felix Smith, "Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them." This was a response to Smith's fear about the method of characteristics. Did he mean that with experience and practice, one obtains understanding?
What is the word to describe the phenomenon where at first nobody has the intension to clap (after a performance, lecture, etc). But suddenly one person starts clapping loudly, breaking the silence, and there goes the applause! Everyone starts clapping!
I vaguely remember there is a notion of numbers rich in divisors, i.e. (number of divisors of N)/N is comparatively large. What's their name? Given a number M, how could I find such a number in its neighbourhood?
What does the following sentence mean? This menu will be shown to all users but John. Does it mean that the menu will be shown to all users except John or only to John?
"I gave him two dollars." This tacitly means "to him". Are there exceptions to the rule that an indirect object in English always means "to" or "for"? In English, "I stole him two dollars" does not mean "I stole two dollars from him", and one does not say "I withheld him that information" (either of those usages would be valid in German).
What is the word for the action of telling the horse you are on to move forward, turn left, turn right, or the like? I assume "driving" would be the easiest to understand, but it sounds like it does not fit a living thing like a horse. The word "controlling" seems most accurate, yet controlling an animal gives negative connotations, does it not?
