We see some degree of convergence in the similar outline of the body in well-bred cattle belonging to distinct races.
This is an important principle, as it leads to continued divergence, and in some rare cases to convergence of character.
In a few instances selection, guided by utility for a single purpose, has led to convergenceof character.
One of these is the High Crag, about three-quarters of a mile from the divergence or convergence of the two highways, which Dr.
First, if the lads wanted to make sure of the ponies, they would not have ascended it, but would have stayed just at the Hawkshead side of Outgate, or at the village itself, at the point of convergence of the ways.
The Convergence of Economic and Military Alliances The Kosovo crisis started as an exercise in self re-definition.
There is no convergence to talk of - the gap is increasing, not decreasing, especially following the Kosovo debacle.
It is now recognized that the bill is a highly adaptive structure and that it frequently shows convergence and parallelism.
Since this feature also is associated with food-getting, the possibilities of convergence of distantly related species with similar habits and divergence of closely related species with different habits may not be excluded.
Since Beecher (1951a) found that patterns of jaw-musculature within the Family Icteridae were conservative, he is reluctant to admit the possibility of convergence among any of the other families.
The convergence in muscle pattern shown by these two genera, however, is in all probability the result of similarities in behavior patterns.
The Socialist government has pledged its dedication both to meeting the Maastricht monetary convergence criteria and to increasing social spending, including provision of a guaranteed minimum income.
The point of convergence is the company's treasury, which pays unnecessary bills.
Proper concentration in complete units by an earlier convergence of authority permits decentralization in administration.
The Convergence concentrates nutrients, which promotes marine plant life, and which in turn allows for a greater abundance of animal life.
See Broughton, Kuei-feng Tsung-mi: The Convergence of Ch'an and the Teachings.

There should be a slightconvergence shown, as in the course of weaving the threads get drawn in, and in later forms of looms in semi-civilised countries we find an endeavour to counteract this tendency by the use of a tool known as a "temple.
All the drawings but Wilkinson's show the warp threads converging towards the breast beam; Wilkinson shows them parallel and in Lepsius their convergenceis excessive.
The tendency to convergence was never wholly in operative.
It is for us to determine whether, when our present relationships change, they give way to separation and weakness, or develop by convergence into the strength of a common government.
This is exactly the direction of the changes we witness, as languages function towards convergence in the two cultures mentioned.
What makes the convergence possible and necessary is a combination of factors united in the necessity to reach efficiency appropriate to human practical experiences at the global scale of existence and work.
On further examination, the apparently immobile bulbi were found to pass into convergenceupon request to look to the right or left.
The convergence gradually passed off when the light was removed.
Slight wound of occiput: Ophthalmoplegia externa, influencible, however, by tests and replaced by spasmodic convergence of globes with myosis; hysterical stigmata and convulsions.
Thereafter, this position of convergence was assumed if any test made by a strong light, such as that of a pocket flash, was used.
In their extreme forms they resemble two terminal branches of a tree, but they may lead to similar results through so-called convergence of the conditions of life (slavery and cattle-keeping among ants and men).
Colors and forms are there depicted in the most delicate detail, and both the convergence of our two eyes and their movement and accommodation gives us besides the dimensions of depth through stereoscopic vision.
A common feature of cirques that finds an explanation in the proposed hypothesis is the notch that commonly occurs at some point where a convergence of slopes above the main cirque wall concentrates snow discharge.
But this is offset in the case of a well-developed cirque by volume increases due to the convergence of the snow from the surrounding slopes, as shown in Fig.
Since the contraction of the jet is due to the convergence towards the orifice of the issuing streams, it will be diminished if for any portion of the edge of the orifice the convergence is prevented.
Let v2 be the velocity of the jet at a point where the convergence of the streams has ceased, so that the pressure in the jet is also p2.
The maximum coefficient of discharge is that for a mouthpiece with a convergence of 13 deg.
The jet first contracts as described above, in consequence of theconvergence of the fluid streams within the vessel, retaining, however, a form similar to that of the orifice.
If the sides of the vessel approach near to the edge of the orifice, they interfere with the convergence of the streams to which the contraction is due, and the contraction is then modified.
The inertia of the filaments opposes sudden change of direction of motion at the edge of the orifice, and the convergence continues for a distance of about half the diameter of the orifice beyond it.
The points of convergence seem to stand in some relation to those points in the embryo which are last closed in during development.
It would, however, be extremely rash to attribute to convergence close similarity of character in many points of structure amongst the modified descendants of widely distinct beings.
It is also manifest that if the convergence were strongly pronounced and the confluence complete, the indentation at the convergent end would tend to disappear.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "convergence" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
