But the depth of an output seems to be a function of at least two properties: first, how much computation is required to produce it (i.e., shallow means computationally cheap); second, how constrained or specific its informational content is (i.e., shallow means informationally general) (Fodor, 1983, p. 87).
On the communication level, important thinkers such as Noam Chomsky have recently decried Twitter as a "shallow" means of communication, which "erodes normal human relations".
Florence Banks Scituate, Mass., Oct. 26, 2008 To the Editor: What makes the final weeks of this campaign "so unspeakably sad" is not the fact that John McCain has conducted himself in a painfully weak, shallow, mean-spirited and clueless fashion.
Unlike boreal deep lakes, the monthly mean sensible and latent heat flux was tightly coupled with seasonal variations in net radiation at this large (size 2400 km2), subtropical (30.9 31.6°N) shallow (mean depth 1.9 m) Lake Taihu.
Since the lake is relatively shallow (mean depth < 3 m), numerical tests indicate that five equally spaced vertical layers in the LOEM are sufficient to resolve the vertical structure of the lake.
A once great party has turned into a neo-Confederate political party, looking for a very shallow, mean, dishonest, know-nothing version of Ronald Reagan.
The study was conducted in Lake Krankesjön, a 3.4 km2 shallow (mean depth 1.5 m, maximum depth 3.0 m), eutrophic lake in southern Sweden.
The riparian vegetation of a river characterized by a high variability turns out to have a rooting system spread over larger depths, but with shallower mean root depths.
The optic nerve cup was shallower (mean difference = 0.31 mm, P = 0.0001) with decreased cup area (mean difference = 0.26 mm, P = 0.0002) in patients with FRMD7 mutations (Fig. 4).
This will be no exception, as the valley is wide and shallow, which means that the hydroelectric potential is small.
The shallow depth means that natural gas itself can seep upward naturally through the rock, and perhaps into aquifers.
