Discipline Quotes
It is fortunate that molecular synthesis also serves the utilitarian function of producing quantities of rare or novel substances which satisfy human needs, especially with regard to health, and the scientific function of stimulating research and education throughout the whole discipline of chemistry.
-
Bit Quotes
I started off thinking that maybe the social sciences ought to have the kinds of mathematics that the natural sciences had. That works a little bit in economics because they talk about costs, prices and quantities of goods. But it doesn't work a darn for the other social sciences; you lose most of the content when you translate them to numbers.

Few Quotes
People simply don't have room, physical room, to keep, for instance, 2-inch tape in the sort of quantities that are required to hold a full archive. It's not just a matter of having three or four boxes, it's 40, 90 boxes of 2-inch tape, and very few people have the resources that sort of stuff properly.
-
Ancient Quotes
There is nothing in the world like the extraordinary Shiraz and Grenache wines from South Australia. While the most sought-after are undeniably expensive (they're made in tiny quantities from ancient vines), they are huge, rich and concentrated, and represent some of planet Earth's most compelling wines.
-
Begun Quotes
The persistent, toxic chemicals we identified in this study are important, heavily used industrial substances, some of which are produced in quantities up to 500 million pounds a year. At the very least, Americans have a right to know if companies are releasing these pollutants into their communities. In fact, we should have begun tracking these pollutants years ago. Instead of curbing reports on the most worrisome pollutants to please industry, the Bush Administration should be expanding the tracking system to inform and protect the public.
-
Charged Quotes
What we mean by an outcome will naturally depend on the context. Thus, for a government charged with delivering public goods, an outcome will consist of the quantities provided of such goods as intercity highways, national defense and security, environmental protection, and public education together with the arrangements by which they are financed.
-
Addicted Quotes
If we look at the nation that President Bush leads, it also behaves in many ways like an addict. The United States is a gigantic John Candy of a country, straining its oversized elasticated pants from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The country is addicted to more or less everything, constantly craving greater and greater quantities of petrol, electricity, pointless sports, empty patriotism, fatty hormone-crammed meat, gigantic pedestrian-crushing four-wheel drive trucks, ever more baseball caps with nonsense written on them and unquestioning obedience from every nation on the planet.
-
Accurate Quotes
We can conceptualize smart buildings where the atmosphere inside each room is sensed and controlled in regions to accommodate varying preferences of its occupants. Water in the soil (and) chemical composition of the environment can be monitored and controlled inside hothouses or even in vineyards and fields. The key is to go beyond sensing the changes of physical quantities to closing the loop around the sensor webs, which means making accurate decisions based on the information.
-
Chance Quotes
We can't do much of anything. We don't know what we're working with. Until that's defined, it seems like an exercise in futility. On the plus side, it gives us a chance to put more of our time and energy into football and known quantities instead of contracts when you don't know what the system is.
-
Behave Quotes
Fires may behave differently because homes today typically contain larger quantities and different types of materials than before. This means you need as much early warning as possible to evacuate safely. Properly installed and maintained smoke alarms remain the most effective way to protect you and your family from the risk of fire.
-
Change Quotes
What's extremely important is that Sony is out there now and is delivering increasing quantities of product. It's pretty clear to me that if you look at the 128-bit segment, Sony is going to go up and everybody else is going to go down, only because Sony has a 12-month head start. But when you look into the next year, that could change depending on who's got which software.

Acts Quotes
You have to really pick and be careful about what is going to get you the biggest mass audience where you could talk about the conditions of the poor people in Africa. That's what we're doing. If you can suggest to me British blacks acts that should be one, that sell in the same quantities as the bands we've got, fine.

Access Quotes
Doubtless, the substantial improvement in the access of business decision makers to real-time information has played a key role, ... Today, businesses have large quantities of data available virtually in real time. As a consequence, they address and resolve economic imbalances far more rapidly than in the past.
-
Advantage Quotes
The mobile clinic is going to be used to target economically disadvantaged areas of the county identified by our animal control officers. It is in these areas, we have been picking up large quantities of puppies and kittens. Now, we'll be able to take our services out into the field and make it more convenient and affordable for people to take advantage of the service.
-
Adverse Quotes
This is another study among several recently released, which shows that the common wisdom that 'more is better' is clearly not the case. Vitamins are nutrients required by the body in minute quantities for normal physiology, and we assume that if a little is good, more must be better, ... Hopefully, this will encourage patients and their physicians to take a good look at all the substances and medications that are being taken, and assess the potential for adverse reactions - even for naturally occurring substances which are assumed to be safe.

Baby Quotes
As we begin the year, retailers should focus on encouraging consumers to redeem gift cards to help sustain sales and buoy margins. Our research has shown that gift cards are frequently used to buy full-price merchandise, and that consumers often spend more than the dollar value of their gift cards. Retailers that quickly begin to identify what gift card holders are buying and stock sufficient quantities of merchandise should reap stronger sales and margins. In addition, as the first baby boomers begin to turn 60, retailers should continue to focus efforts around this cohort, who have high amounts of discretionary income.
-
Amazes Quotes
It's healthy to have a decent lag time between discs, but if there's too much time in between, there might be a drop off in interest. What amazes me is that no matter how obscure or generic a TV show might be, there's always someone who'll buy it. As long as the studios recognize this, they can manufacture modest quantities and generate respectable sales.

Act Quotes
If you short a stock, at some point in time, you have to go back and buy it, so while the act of shorting -- particularly in massive quantities -- tends to depress the market, technicians always believe long-term it's very positive because those people have to go back in and replace those shares.
