The best general method of calculating logarithms consists, in its simplest form, in resolving the number whose logarithm is required into factors of the form I - i r n, where n is one of the nine digits, and making use of subsidiary tables of logarithms of factors of this form.

Soon after the introduction of the literary journal in England, one of a more familiar tone was started by the eccentric John Dunton in the Athenian Gazette, or Casuistical Mercury, resolving all the most Nice and Curious Questions (1689-1690 to 1695-1696), afterwards called The Athenian Mercury, a kind of forerunner of Notes and Queries, being a penny weekly sheet, with a quarterly critical supplement.

A prism or a train of prisms. These are employed in instruments of small power, especially when luminosity is a consideration; but their advantage in this respect is to a great extent lost, when, in order to secure increased resolving power, the size of the prisms, or their number, is unduly increased.

The optical effect as regards resolving power is the same as with a grating of N lines in the nth order, but, nearly all the light not absorbed by the glass may be concentrated in one or two orders.'

The power of a spectroscope to perform its main function, which is to separate vibrations of different but closely adjacent frequencies, is called its " resolving power."

We may say therefore that if the difference between the frequencies n 1 and n, of the two waves is such that in the combined image of the slit the intensity at the minimum between -the two maxima falls to 0.81, the lines are just resolved and n l /(n l n 2) may then be called the resolving power.

Lord Rayleigh's expression for the resolving power of different instruments is based on the assumption that the geometrical image of the slit is narrow compared with the width of the diffraction image.

Unfortunately considerations of luminosity compel the observer often to widen the slit much beyond the range within which the theoretical value of resolving power holds in practice.

With an indefinitely narrow slit the purity is equal to the resolving power.

As purity and resolving power are essentially positive quantities, n i in the above expression must be the greater of the two frequencies.

If we write P=p R where P denotes the purity and R the resolving power, we may call p the " purityfactor.

With a slit equal in width to eight times the normal one the purity is reduced to o 45R, so that we lose rather more than half the resolving power and increase the light 3.7 times.

It follows that for observations in which light is a consideration spectroscopes should be used which give about twice the resolving power of that actually required; we may then use a slit having a width of nearly eight times that of the normal one.

Theoretical resolving power can only be obtained when the whole collimator is filled with light and further (as pointed out by Lord Rayleigh in the course of discussion during a meeting of the " Optical Convention " in London, 1905) each portion of the collimator must be illuminated by each portion of the luminous source.

Every observer should not only record the resolving power of the instrument he uses, but also the purity-factor as defined above.

The resolving power in the case of gratings is simply mn, where m is the order of spectrum used, and n the total number of lines ruled on the grating.

In the case of prisms the resolving power ist (dµ/dX), where t is the effective thickness of the medium traversed by the ray.

In interpreting the phenomena observed in a spectroscope, it is necessary to remember that the instrument, as pointed out by Lord Rayleigh, is itself a producer of homogeneity within the limits defined by its resolving power.

He carried metaphysical idealism to its height, by not only resolving the bodily into the mental, but also elevating the action of mind into absolute mental construction; not inferring things in themselves beyond, but originating things from within, mind itself.

Hegel only extended a priori forms to things by resolving things into thoughts.

They raised him on a shield and acclaimed him as a king; leader and followers both resolving (says Jordanes the Gothic historian) "rather to seek new kingdoms by their own labour, than to slumber in peaceful subjection to the rule of others."

Aristotle had fallen into the paradox of resolving a mental act into verbal elements.

Resolving AA,

Resolving horizontally we find T (COS 02 - COS 01)+2gp (y22-3/12) =0, whence cos 02 = COS gpy12 - gpy22, 2T 2 T or if we suppose P 1 fixed and P2 variable, we may write cos constant - Zgpy2/T.

Resolving vertically we find that the weight of the liquid raised above the level must be equal to T(sin 0 2 - sin 01), and this is therefore equal to the area P 1 P 2 A 2 A 1 multiplied by gp. The form of the capillary surface is identical with that of the " elastic curve," or the curve formed by a uniform spring originally straight, when its ends are acted on by equal and T 2 opposite forces applied either to the ends themselves or to solid pieces attached to them.

Since the two circular streams have different speeds, Fresnel argued that it would be possible to separate them by oblique refraction, and though the divergence is small, since the difference of their refractive indices in the case of quartz is only about o 00007, he succeeded by a suitable arrangement of alternately rightand left-handed prisms of quartz in resolving a plane-polarized stream into two distinct circularly polarized streams. A similar arrangement was used by Ernst v.

The lower limit of the resolving power of the eye is reached when the distance is approximately 3438 times the size of the object.

This expresses I as the resolving power in the case of direct lighting.

It is possible to almost double the resolving power, as in the case FIG.

To determine the utility of an' objective for resolving fine details, one experiments with definite objects, which are usually employed simultaneously for examining its other properties.

The Fraunhofer formula permits the determination of the most useful magnification of such an objective in order to utilize its full resolving power.

The table shows at the same time the great superiority of the immersion-system over the dry-system with reference to the resolving power.

The smallest resolving detail with oblique lighting is 6 =A/ 2A, where A = 275 µµ.

As the microscopist usually estimates the resolving power according to the aperture with ordinary day-light, Kohler introduced the " relative resolving power " for ultra-violet light.

Then the denominator of the fraction, the numerical aperture, must be correspondingly increased, in order to ascertain the real resolving power.

If the magnification be greater than the resolving power demands, the observation is not only needlessly made more difficult, but the entrance pupil is diminished, and with it a very considerable decrease of clearness, for with an objective of a certain aperture the size of the exit pupil depends upon the magnification.

From the section Regulation of the Rays (above) it is seen that the resolving power is opposed to the depth of definition, which is measured by the reciprocal of the numerical aperture, I/A.

By dark-field illumination it is even possible to make such small details of objects perceptible as are below the limits of the resolving power.

In other words, a sufficiently good and distinct image as the resolving power permits cannot be arrived at, until the elimination, or a sufficient diminution, of the spherical and chromatic aberrations has been brought about.

The resolving power of an objective depends on its numerical aperture.

If the numerical aperture be known the resolving power is easily found.

The resolving power can also be determined by using different fine test objects.

Even if a mixture of several oils and fats be present, the iodine value assists greatly in the identification of the components of the mixture, and furnishes the most important key for the attacking and resolving of this not very simple problem.

Resolving the VAT anomaly remains the most obvious means of promoting more sustainable approaches to the housing stock.

This effect means that abreaction starts forcing his problems into his everyday awareness and drives him to seek ways of resolving them.

We must work at resolving these conflicts or finding a way through.

Further, we introduce a flexible approach to resolving non- determinism which gives this translation a practical advantage.

All costs of resolving the disagreement must be paid by the party whose argument is rejected.

Completion of the changeover would have many benefits in addition to resolving the current muddle.
