Example: 2002, M. Ram Murty, Introduction to p-adic Analytic Number Theory, American Mathematical Society, page 114, By the property of the p'''-adic norm, (or by the “isosceles triangle principle”) we deduce that operatorname ordₚa_r=rλ₁.

Example: Let K be a field with discrete valuation v, and #92;mathcal#123;O#125;#95;K be the valuation ring. Definition 2.3.1 A p'''-adic norm on vector space V over K is a function #92;alpha#58;V#92;rightarrow#92;R satisfying: a) #92;alpha(x)#92;ge 0 and #92;alpha(x)#61;0 if and only if x#61;0. b) #92;alpha(ax)#61;#92;verta#92;vert#92;alpha(x) for a#92;inK and x#92;inV. c) #92;alpha(x#43;y)#92;le#92;operatorname#123;sup#125;(#92;alpha(x),#92;alpha(y)) for x,y#92;inV. If #92;alpha is a p'''-adic norm and tgt;0, then the dilation t#92;alpha is a p'''-adic norm, and we denote by N#95;p(V) the set of dilation classes of p'''-adic norms on V.

Word: mesostate Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From meso- + state. Sense 4 possibly purely in analogy with anastate and catastate. 1. An intermediate physical state of matter between solid and liquid, in which the molecules have more freedom of movement than when locked in a crystal lattice, but less freedom of movement than when in the liquid state. Example: […] the liquid to the solid state via first-order phase transformations, which must be preceded by a breakdown of the structure of the mesostate—an intermediate state of the alum in its transition from the solution to the crystaline phase. Example: Many substances can be in a state between crystallized and liquid. This means that the molecules have more freedom of motion than in the solid state but not as much as in a liquid, a condition called mesostate. 2. A composite state of a physical system that is determined by the overall configuration of many microstates; e.g. the heat of a substance (mesostate), which is made up of the aggregate of motions of many molecules (microstate). Example: If the manipulation is slow enough, and the driving connects different mesostates, then jumps between states in the same mesostate satisfy the detailed balance condition. Example: Even though we said the mesostates x are relatively stable, after a very long time they will also eventually thermalize (unless we additionally protect them). 3. A description of an aspect of a geographical system at a level between complete detail (the microstate) and a simple summary statistic or percentage (the macrostate). Example: In operational urban simulation models, virtually no attempt is made to simulate at the level of microstates, i.e., individual behavior. Most of the models operate at the mesostate and/or macrostate level. Example: Given a microstate description of a system, only one mesostate is possible; and given a mesostate description, only one macrostate is possible: in both cases the higher level description can be found by simple summation ( see Equations 8,3,4) . 4. An intermediate metabolic product in the formation of anastates or catastates. Labels: rare Example: In this downward parth are probably many steps, two of which become conspicuous, the formation of some intermediate product to "mesostate," as we may call it, such as zymogen or mucigen, and the conversion of the zymogen into an actual ferment or of the mucigen into mucin — that is, of the mesostate into the final product, which is discharged as a constituent of the secretion. Example: But it is probable that here too, by the vital activity of the protoplasmic element in each cell, there is produced a mesostate which, at the moment of activity, passes by katabolism into waste products, so called, of a less complex composition.

Labels: intransitive Example: If the cock be observed to scrape straw together, and rub himself in it, it is no more than what cocks and hens continually do, in heaps of dust, &c., when they have no thought of incubation, but merely from their pulverating instinct.

Example: Coppery grey above, uniform or with three or five longitudinal series of blackish dots or elongate quadrangular spots; lower surfaces more or less marbled or pulverated with grey.
