Second, the home-site advantage might be masked by genetically fixed tendencies for more rapid growth with lower mortality in younger stages (shown in Fig. 2).
It seems so limiting, so narrow, so restrictive, but the fact that my machine is crashing and I still haven't fixed the tendency I have to gather and not refocus and disseminate my findings, and it could still affect my health, I'm game to start anew tomorrow, with a list of 10 things to do.
Take, for instance, "neuroticism," one of the "big five" personality traits that psychologists use to measure and describe the fixed behavioral tendencies that collectively make up our personalities.
General Electric's pension fund owned the building and hired Mr. Trump to revamp it, which he did by covering it in bronze glass, fixing its tendency to sway in high winds, and converting its office spaces into condo apartments and a hotel.
Maybe so, but most of us fall for real men -- with thinning hair or a little paunch, with a broken tooth that's never been fixed, with a tendency to posture when provoked and ramble when tired.
In Hermitian systems, a relevant perturbation around RG fixed points has a tendency to suppress fluctuations of the concerned field and stabilize a non-critical, gapped phase.
Mach points out the obvious gap in the argument when so construed: the experiment only establishes that acceleration (rotation) of the water with respect to the Earth, or the frame of the fixed stars, produces the tendency to recede from the center; it does not prove that a strict relationist theory cannot account for the bucket phenomena, much less the existence of absolute space.
We're just as quick to jump to the conclusion that the behaviors we observe in our immediate surroundings tell us something about the internal tendencies and fixed personalities of those who are around us.
A low K+ (1.42 310.60 mg/L, with a mean of 23, 67 and 92 mg/L in BC, FP and C zones, respectively) indicates its tendency to be fixed by clay minerals (Hem 1991).
In natural environment, however, K+ often occurs in low levels owing to its tendency to be fixed by clay minerals and its involvement in the formation of secondary minerals (Pazand et al. 2012).
