Now, such an experimental and imperfect creature as man, a creature urged by such imperious passions, so weak in imagination and controlled by so feeble a reason, receives such absolute freedom as this only at infinite peril.
Explosive engines, in which gas and petroleum are employed, are now abundant, but for all that we can regard the explosive engine as still in its experimental stages.
These are all still new things, experimental to the highest degree, changing and bound to change much more, in the period of specialization that is now beginning.
Descriptive and qualitative; experimental and inductive; leads the student to observe and think.
Rebecca Adams was 'a woman who appeared to be a true living experimental Christian, beyond many,' and she lived near Laugharne Castle, in Carmarthenshire.
Scientific Memoirs: being Experimental Contributions to a Knowledge of Radiant Energy.
Kepler was not discouraged and he discovered that, if the orbits were to be ellyptical, and not circular as said by Copernicus, then, the calculations could be compatible with the experimental data.
Kepler verified Copernicus' theory and discovered that it is wrong (the positions calculated for the planets did not correspond to the experimental data).
The profound bishop means that while their appetites and their tempers are the stumbling-stones of the most of men, the difficult problems of natural and revealed and experimental religion are the test and the triumph of other men.
Still greater stress, however, may be laid upon the fact that experimental evidence points to the conclusion that lymph-cells cannot assimilate either peptones or proteoses.
Something more than simple test-tube study, or evenexperimental work on animals, is required in dealing with the changes which complex proteids undergo in gastric and pancreatic digestion.
There is therefore practically no serious experimental evidence in favour of Iwanoff's view.
As regards the fermentation of the higher carbohydrates, very little experimental work has been carried out.
This was correctly ascribed to the experimental difficulties, but none [p007] the less served as a point of attack for hostile and damaging criticism at the hands of Berzelius (p.
The experimentalbasis for this idea is the fact that glyceric acid is fermented by dried yeast and maceration juice [compare Neuberg and Tir, 1911].
The experimental evidence points in the direction of the former of these alternatives, but the question is a very difficult one to decide with absolute certainty.
The experimental decision between these alternative explanations is rendered possible by the use of a mixture of enzyme and co-enzyme free from phosphate and hexosephosphate.
Much important information as to the nature of the processes involved in fermentation has been acquired by the direct experimental study of the action of living yeast on different sugars.
Somebody broke in and stole about half our experimental animals.
It was one of the experimental ones, so it was smarter than most, though not such an awful lot.
All the direct measurements which have been made on simple binary electrolytes agree with Kohlrausch's results within the limits of experimental error.
The experimental process has usually been to fill a glass tube of known dimensions, having large cup-like extensions at the ends, with pure mercury, and determine the absolute resistance of this column of metal.
All the more so, inasmuch as experimental studies on tuberculosis have not only preserved men; they have also preserved animals.
I will go even further, and on this point my opinion will perhaps clash with that of some of my friends and colleagues: I maintain that no experimental physiological demonstrations which involve suffering should ever be performed.
There is now another experimental science which I am going to try to justify also.
Experimental physiology was able to discover the cause of that sudden death.
The causes of plague, cholera, typhoid, Mediterranean fever, and sleeping sickness, have been discovered solely by the experimental method.
I will only add that the methods at Elmira have passed far beyond the experimental stage in this matter.

The present governments of China are accordingly the successors of a wide variety of decaying imperial administration, experimental modernism and outright confusion.
One of our special emphases in these experimental hsien has been the reform of the hsien government, i.
Upon coming to power in Nanking, the National Government had begun promising a short period of tutelage and had made various gestures in favor of experimental popular government.
Extensive application of the new system as developed in the experimental hsien was made to an entire province such as we did in Hunan--a rich province with a population of thirty million.
But the question about the introduction of experimental study is not entirely one of quantity.
Some of us, on the other hand, may have had some experience of the routine of experimental work.
We may either employ the experiments to illustrate the phenomena of a particular branch of Physics, or we may make some physical research in order to exemplify a particular experimental method.
But this great experimental research on Terrestrial Magnetism produced lasting effects on the progress of science in general.
Such, then, were some of the scientific results which followed in this case from bringing together mathematical power, experimental sagacity, and manipulative skill, to direct and assist the labours of a body of zealous observers.
Now an experimental science is simply the summing-up of many diverse experiences, freely attempted, freely discussed and verified.
They do not admit of experimental verification, because the stress within a body does not admit of direct measurement.
It must be remembered that, the solutions not being of quite the same strength, these numbers are not strictly comparable, and that the experimental difficulties involved in the chemical measurements are considerable.
The relations which connect the strains with each other and with the displacement are geometrical relations resulting from the definitions of the quantities and not requiring any experimental verification.
It is possible to make use of this last formula, coupled with an experimental fact, to prove that the magnetic force due to an element of current varies inversely as the square of the distance.
Excepting such experimental arrangements as that of C.
Volta followed up these observations with rare philosophic insight and experimental skill.
Very often, no doubt, their psychology has been moreexperimental than scientific--but it is effective.
He was indeed the endless experimenter--his was in very truth the Experimental Life.
It was never, however, the intention of government to carry on the trade, but to resign it to private adventure as soon as the experimental course could be fairly completed.
The experimental methods now in vogue have to a large extent removed the discussion of the whole subject of association of ideas, depending in the case of the older writers on introspection, into a new sphere.
Titchener's Experimental Psychology (1905), association is treated as a branch of the study of mental reactions, of which association reactions are one division.
We may hope to be able to reproduce the earlier conditions by the experimental study of anhydric substances in a state of fusion.
The experimental parthenogenesis of Loeb and Delage consists in plunging the egg into a liquid other than sea water, and returning it again to its original medium.
This novel conception constitutes a valuable addition to the experimental study of the physiology of muscular action, since it gives us some idea of the mechanism by which chemical energy may be transformed into muscular contraction.
As recently as 1907 the Academie des Sciences excluded from its Comptes Rendus the report of these experimental researches on diffusion and osmosis, because it touched too closely on the burning question of spontaneous generation.
The experimentalstudy of osmotic morphogeny adds its weight of evidence in the same direction.
The study of these chemical metamorphoses and the transformations of energy in osmotic growths has opened up a new subject for experimental investigation in the field of organic chemistry.
Claude Bernard rejects all definition of life as insufficient, and incompatible with experimental science.
Without attaching to it an importance which is not warranted by experimental results, it is interesting to note that we have here two methods of fertilization, hypertonic and hypotonic, i.
In 1859 an experimental investigation was carried out at the Glasnevin Model Farm, with the view of throwing new light on the question.
