Rand understood these claims to apply to organisms individually as well as generically: that which preserves an organism's life is good for that organism, and that which threatens or destroys it is evil (or bad) for that organism.
Life is thus the ultimate value for all organisms, not only because all other values are a means to preserving it but also because it sets a standard of evaluation for all lesser goals (and all things generally): that which preserves life is good, and that which threatens or destroys life is evil.
4 Because NAC involvement is present in only a small percentage of breast cancers, some believe that NSM, which preserves the NAC and may provide better cosmeses and functional results, may be an appropriate alternative for many patients undergoing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction.
The PDMS is subsequently heated so that it crosslinks, which preserves the printed features in the elastomer matrix.
Recall that a translation from a logic L into a logic L′ is a mapping f between the respective sets of formulas which preserves derivability, that is: Γ⊢Lφ (in the source logic L) implies that f ⊢L′f (in the target logic L′).
Nothing is known of Justin's personal history other than his work on Trogus's book (chiefly a history of Macedonia and the Hellenistic monarchies, with Parthia), which preserves material that has proved valuable to students of the Hellenistic world.
We discretize in space by using a Hamiltonian HDG scheme, that is, an HDG method which preserves the Hamiltonian structure of the wave equation, and in time by using symplectic, diagonally implicit and explicit partitioned Runge Kutta methods.
The Archive also hosts the Wayback Machine, which preserves Web pages that might otherwise be altered or destroyed.
Hence, we can conclude that a distributed interaction which preserves the spatially distributed retinotopic velocity signal in the inhibitory neuron, though in a blurred form, is an essential part of the circuitry of object detection in the visual system of the fly.
Doors are cut into the corners of some of the galleries so that you enter them diagonally, which preserves wall space.
Goldberg's firm uses a company called Page Vault, which preserves screen shots that capture the date, the time, and the URL, and are admissible in court.
