Example: He has here shown that he is not a mere bookworm, a decliner of nouns and conjugator of verbs—not one who, as the old philosopher said, passed his life in anxiety because he could not discover whether the future of the verb βαλλω should be spelt with one λ or with two; […] Example: “The first question then which he proposed to every one in his order was ‘Quid dubitas?’ What doubts have you met with in your studies to-day? For he supposed that to doubt nothing, and to understand nothing, were nearly the same thing.” (Neale’s “History of the Puritans,” vol. ii. p. 311.)

Example: Many different configurations of self-pumped phase conjugators relying on four-wave mixing to produce a phase-conjugate wave have been reported. 4. One who forms conjugates (a weak and a strong antigen covalently linked together) Example: However, Brueton et al. (7) have demonstrated that infants fed human milk remain predominantly taurine conjugators of bile acids, whereas those fed taurine-deficient formulas become predominantly glycine conjugators of bile acids.

The shift which occurred in philosophical attention, during the 20th century and within a number of philosophical schools of thought, from traditional themes of metaphysics and epistemology to a focus on the structure and usage of language and the relation of language to human understanding of those traditional themes.

The heat exchanger was needed because the new chips and architecture produced more heat than the case could cope with dissipating and led to the system's nickname of 'The Toast Rack'.
