The exhortation to thanksgiving, which is in a sense the Alpha and the Omega of the Christian life, is perpetually on the Apostle's lips, because thankfulness should be in perpetual operation in our hearts.
He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending.
For thought, as for life, He is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the ending.
There are the letters Alpha and Omega, which represent our Lord; for you know that he said, 'I am Alpha and Omega.
A choir of Bowdoin College students, members of theAlpha Delta Phi fraternity, sang appropriate hymns.
I don't know where it is, but it's somewhere on Poictesme, or in the Alpha System.
But I am certain that Merlin exists, if not on Poictesme then somewhere in theAlpha System, and I am equally certain that we can find it.
There's been a meeting going for the last week to partition the Alpha Gartner System.
All the ships in the Alpha System except the Harriet Barne and the two they're building at Storisende.
He had named all the planets of the Alpha System from the books of Cabell, and those of Beta from Spenser's Faerie Queene, and those of Gamma from Rabelais.
Well, till we can get a shipyard going on Koshchei and build some real spaceships, there are going to be some rare-looking objects traveling around the Alpha System.
An alphaparticle striking a nucleus would knock it free of the atom to which it belonged and send it shooting forward (like one billiard ball hitting another).
If a nucleus loses an alpha particle, its mass number should decline by 4 and its atomic number by 2, and that is what happens.
For more and more massive nuclei, the positive charge grew higher and the repulsion stronger until for elements beyond potassium, no collision could be forced, even with the most energetic naturally occurring alpha particles.
When he bombarded hydrogen, thealpha particles struck hydrogen nuclei (protons) and shot them forward.
As early as 1906, for instance, Rutherford had used the speeding alpha particles given off by a radioactive substance to bombard matter and to show that sometimes these alpha particles were deflected by atomic nuclei.
An alpha particle strikes a nucleus only if, by chance, they come together.
The alpha particle is a helium nucleus made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Those changes include the emission of 8 alphaparticles and 6 beta particles.
This was a hangover from their work with positively charged particles such as protons and alpha particles.
In the end, if enough energy is gained, the proton could do more damage than the alpha particle, despite the former’s smaller mass.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, which is and which was and which is to come, the Almighty.
The others would assume that he needed more time to locate and retrieve the apparatus--which would give him a head start toward Alpha Centauri.
He returned to normal space many "days" later in the vicinity of Alpha Centauri.
If he loves her, then his love is the alpha and omega of his striving, and if love inspires him to achieve a masterpiece, the effect of love on him must be considered great and good, because it is a creative effect.
The alpha delta-hydroxyfurfural has similar colour reactions to those of the alpha beta-derivative, and may also therefore be present as a constituent of the lignocelluloses.
Both aldehyde and acid appear to be the alpha beta derivatives.
It will be shown that the ester groups can be actually localised in various ways, as in the main entering the cellulose residues alpha and beta.
He also remarks on "the experimental difficulty of accurately determining the number of alpha particles expelled from radium per second.
The emanation is certainly composed of alphaions with a few molecules agglomerated round them.
Professor Rutherford says that "each of the alpha ray products present in one gram of radium product (sic) expels 6.
The first-named constitutes the beta, and the second the alpha rays.
In the case of uranium, the alpha rays have extremely slight penetrating power, and cannot even impress photographic plates.
Phosphorescence and fluorescence seem especially to result from the alpha and beta rays, particularly from the alpha rays, to which belongs the most important part of the total energy of the radiation.
The alpha rays are positively charged, and are projected at a speed which may attain the tenth of that of light; M.
The latest theory is that the alpha particle is in fact an atom of helium, and that the final transformation product of radium and the other radioactive substances is lead.
