In the rest frame k#92;mu#61;(m,0,0,0) and so k#92;mu#92;epsilon#95;#92;mu#123;(a)#125;#61;0 Since this is a Lorentz invariant equation, it holds for a moving spin 1 particle as well.

In the Palace Museum there are several examples of vases and bowls made in Su-chou which are good imitations of Ting ware but it is of die t‘u ting variety. Example: Our guide surprised us by refraining from exploiting it for propaganda purposes.

Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: The later version of Dostoevskeyan man, unlike the earlier homme absurde projected in the Notes, is no longer the obdurate individualist demanding free choice at whatever cost.

Word: Dostoevskean Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: This reference to Christ is typical of Dostoevski; he was, in the most reverent sense of the term, “Christ-intoxicated.” His mind was shaped largely by a single book, the New Testament, and from it he drew his major literary themes and his deepest personal convictions. As a result, the Dostoevskean universe is at once more real and less real than the world which witnesses the daily struggle for “advantage” by both men and nations. Example: Perhaps there was somewhere here—certainly there was later—a dark, even sinister side when Dostoevskean “demons” took possession.
Word: Stonebank Part of Speech: name Etymology: Geographical surname from stone + bank. 1. An English surname. Example: Michael Stonebank
Word: Dostoevskan Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Thus one may say of a Dostoevskan character that he finds a continuously intimate connection between proper conduct and true virtue – or, more frequently, improper conduct and true vice. Example: Initially, he flirts with the cryptic: in the early sixties he claims the existence of “a great and eternal living truth, at once illuminating everything,” which comes forth from “the very center” of those seemingly insignificant Dostoevskan protagonists after whom Joseph (Dangling Man) is fashioned (“Facts” 28).
Word: Dostoyevskan Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Like the Dostoyevskan criminal who seeks a victim to concretize a pre-existent sense of guilt, the authors have perhaps invoked just such a student to personify the primitive and conventional lines which had already pre-determined their method. Example: At the same time, inside the Soviet Union the “anti-Zionist” campaigns since the Six Day War have created conditions allowing not only the publication of Kychko’s Judaism and Zionism, the principal theme of which is that the Jews are aiming to dominate the world, but of the two obscene novels by Ivan Shevtsov, one of the leaders of the Pochva movement, who see Russia’s future in a kind of Dostoyevskan rejection of Western values and return to Russian blood and soil.
Word: Dostojevskian Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: In the sitting of the Roumanian Parliament on 27 December last Professor Iorga uttered these Dostojevskian words of comfort: “In our past there has been much suffering. If we have attained something it is not through the victories of our ancestors but through what they have suffered.” Example: Judge Cabot was filled with a deep-rooted respect for the individuality of every human being. He was most scrupulous in guarding the individual rights of each child before him. This was, perhaps, one more reason why his approach was so eminently human and why he had a Dostojevskian passion for bringing out as many sides of a situation and as many traits of a personality as seemed possible.
Word: Southrey Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Old English sūþerre (“southern”) + ēġ (“island”). 1. A village in Bardney parish, West Lindsey district, Lincolnshire, England (OS grid ref TF1366).
Word: Dostoievskian Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Today its Dostoievskian perspective, for a variety of reasons, is altogether lacking; it is now a quality exposing its truest expression at picnics, the theatre, and conventions of political parties; that is to say, it is no longer serious excepting as defining the appreciation of an esthetic spectacle. Example: Among the former was a wholly invented, Dostoievskian police “reenactment” scene for which I saw no necessity in a script that was already overlong.
Word: Dostoievskan Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Tolstoyan gloom, Dostoievskan horror, and general Russian hopelessness are the natural outcome of the over-intellectualized misery and morbidity of nineteenth-century Russians, but to import this joyless atmosphere into English literature is a tragic affection. Example: Marcel Proust saw Mme de Sévigné’s romanticism, her taste for the bizarre, the picturesque and the hallucinatory—this passage, in particular—as an expression of what he called her “Dostoievskan side.”
Word: Dostoievskyan Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: After recording the Dostoievskyan dinner-party at the Metropole Hotel, Moscow, on 1 October and meditating on the effects of Stravinsky’s exile, Craft wrote in his Diary: ‘I am certain that to be recognised and acclaimed as a Russian in Russia, and to be performed there, has meant more to him than anything else in the years I have known him.’ Example: Much of Powys’s writing may be seen as an attempt to define this Dostoievskyan “religion”, which is both new and old. It is, says Powys, Christianity; but “a Christianity completely different from what we are accustomed to”.
Word: KPRA Part of Speech: noun 1. Initialism of kingpin to rear axle (“length measurement of a semi-trailer truck”). Labels: abbreviation, alt-of, initialism, uncountable
Word: Dostoievskean Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: The actions of the Russians are little credible enough. But compared with Mr. Hughes ideas of the Nazi army, his Russians are Dostoievskean. One cannot but wish the real Nazi army were anything like what he imagines it to be. Example: For all their moral and intellectual anxieties, Jude and Sue give an impression of almost Dostoievskean simplicity and innocence, and their childlikeness, specifically reflected in Hardy’s abandoned title, “The Simpletons”, is emphasised throughout.
Word: New Bolingbroke Part of Speech: name 1. A village in Carrington and New Bolingbroke parish, East Lindsey district, Lincolnshire, England (OS grid ref TF3057).
Word: Dostoievskyian Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: His group, in their Dostoievskyian manner, sang the sad songs of Russia’s sad fate—Lenin once leaped up and cried, “To hell with Fate.” Example: It would certainly seem that there is some link between the Dostoievskyian buffoon who makes a public confession and Clamence’s self-disclosure in the Mexico-City, and once this is seen, the suggestion that Marmeldov helped Camus to shape Clamence’s manner of speaking gains in plausibility.
Word: Dostoievskeian Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: No more extravagantly wayward great lady than Maria del Pílar Teresa Cayetana, thirteenth Duchess of Alba, treads the eighteenth-century stage, and no imperious great lady (her principal enemy being the Queen, and to a lesser extent Godoy) more democratic in her waywardness; for the distinctive mark of Baroquism in the latter half of this century is that curious semi-exhibitionist, semi-expiatory, quasi-Dostoievskeian craving on the nobility’s part to share the companionship, the caprices, and even the costume of the proletariat. Example: Donald McWhinnie is unable to resolve these basic difficulties, but with Eric Porter and Irene Worth, excellently backed by the Banquo of Peter Jeffrey, absolutely straight and honest himself yet quickly alert to Macbeth’s deviousness, he gave the audience an enthralling sojourn in the macabre world—at times almost Dostoievskeian—of human greed, fear, crime, remorse and punishment.
Word: fientic Part of Speech: adj 1. Synonym of fientive. Labels: not-comparable
Word: Dostoevskijan Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: The Dostoevskijan buffoon is characterized by this stream of consciousness, with thought leading to thought through the structure of associations rather than causally. Example: If we wish to talk of a particular Dostoevskijan program of realism, this is its distinction.

Word: Dostoevskiian Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of Dostoyevskian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: He confessed to his readers that his May 22 article stressing Khrushchev's affinity to the Dostoevskiian peasant had made the fallen leader angry. Example: With his rage-disguising Dostoevskiian philosophy of “humble charity,” Novak is assured that the meek shall indeed inherit the earth, as each person learns to live with “gentleness, compassion, and patience” in his ethnic habitat of neighborhood or thought.

A mountain pass in Vorarlberg and Tyrol, Austria crossing the Arlberg massif, connecting the state of Vorarlberg and the Klostertal in the west with the state of Tyrol and the Stanzer Tal in the east; it was traditionally used as a mule track for salt trading before being paved and receiving motorized traffic; the traffic brought by the rise of tourism in the region eventually became too heavy for the pass to bear, so the Arlberg Road Tunnel was built to bypass the massif.
