  the tracing out of a path, or trajectory, in state space. It is often possible to study the geometric features of these trajectories, even in actual experimental systems, without explicit knowledge of the solutions they represent. This allows one to characterize trajectories according to their topological features, and the investigation of how those features change as the parameters of the dynamical system are altered. While qualitative questions can be asked about almost any dynamical system, c...

  Cæsuras, hemistichs, and  coupes In French poetry the  cæsura  (fr.  césure ) is the fixed point in the middle of any line of   more than eight syllables, usually marked by a stress on the immediately preceding   syllable. In practice this looks most like a pause required by sense or syntax. When   French verse is scanned, the cæsura is conventionally marked by a double bar (//).  A  cæsura   divides   the   line   into   two   hemistichs   (fr.   h émistiche ),   which   are   not   necessaril...

  Krone, her mud-spattered face tracked by tears, was nearly speechless in the winner's circle. “How do you stop crying?” she asked one of Colonial Affair's practiceriders, according to Sports Illustrated. “You don't,” he replied. Krone's triumph represented a personal victory, and it marked a quantum leap forward for women in professional sports. Her win was the first ever by a femalejockey in a Triple Crown race—the Belmont, Kentucky Derby, or Preakness. Krone chose to downplay the issue....

One such force is the introduction of new genes into the genetic material of the population, or gene pool...

  In April 1955 the court heard 13 hours of arguments over four days on how to end segregation in the public schools. Ultimately, in what is popularly known as Brown II (1955), the Supreme Court turned the implementation of desegregation over to the federal district courts in the South. The district courts were ordered to desegregateschools with “all deliberate speed,” an ambiguous phrase that allowed many Southern judges to avoid desegregation for years. Linda Brown did not attend an integrateds...

Blankers-Koen's superb anchor leg clinched Holland's victory. Meanwhile, in the long jump,Hungary's Olga Gyarmati won...

  people are courteous, he still can feel that he is not welcomed in this village where people are racist and narrow-minded.               The reactions of the villagers can partially be explained by their lack of culture and their narrow-mindedness.

Moreover, he claimed, a concept need not apply to things by virtue of some closed set of features captured by a definition, but rather by virtue of ‘family resemblances' among the things, a suggestion that has given rise in psychology to ‘prototype' theories of concepts.
