We thank Pr. Hsy-Yu Tzeng for the fruitful discussions leading to the conception of this phenological study.
We further propose, in line with Marsh and Shavelson ([1985]), that the analysis of a person's identity in regard to a specific area or domain (e.g., toward a vocation) is more fruitful than a global identity conception.
This conception was to prove fruitful in the later development of the calculus and to achieve fully rigorous formulation in the smooth infinitesimal analysis of the later 20th century.
The problematic conceptions of objectivity ignore the knowledge-enhancing, epistemically fruitful uses of supposedly "feminine" approaches to theorizing (e.g., uses of emotional engagement and explicit attention to perspectival knowledge).
Early ceremonies of marriage emphasized the conception of offspring under the biblical rubric of Genesis 1 28: "Be fruitful and multiply".
This field became almost as contentious as the history of religion but was ultimately more fruitful, since it opened lines of inquiry that eventually led to modern conceptions of history.
We have begun to address this aim by uncovering misconceptions about genetic drift among biology undergraduates, and future research on student conceptions of drift has the potential to be just as fruitful.
Interestingly, the Macdonalds' later requirement of "reliable" (as opposed to exceptionless) relations is suggestive of a ceteris paribus conception of supervenience, which we earlier saw as an unexplored and potentially fruitful direction to take in trying to square Anomalous Monism with an explanatory priority of the physical through the supervenience relation.
"Fruitful," when applied to humanity, doesn't mean only physical reproduction; it refers "to the process of mental conception," the power of human beings to learn and reason, and so to create more knowledge.
In 1931, on the 100th anniversary of Maxwell's birth, Einstein described the change in the conception of reality in physics that resulted from Maxwell's work as "the most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since the time of Newton".
Fruitful scholarship followed.
