A later chapter will be devoted to explaining the quantitative theory of sex. Hence the modern theory of "sex determination" has become: 1. That the chemical factors which give rise to one sex or the other are present in the sperm and ovum before fertilization; That this predisposition is: a. Weaker at first, before it builds up much of a body and gland system to fix it; b.
The tonal accents, which were only secondarily stress phenomena, helped to give the syllable its quantitative individuality. When the Greek meters were carried over into Latin verse, there was comparatively little strain, for Latin too was characterized by an acute awareness of quantitative distinctions. However, the Latin accent was more markedly stressed than that of Greek.
'Cats, he quoted the porter as saying, 'is dogs, and guinea-pigs is dogs, but this 'ere tortoise is a hinsect. But it must constantly be remembered that quantitative thinking does not necessarily or even generally mean thinking in terms of numerical statistics.
She could not believe this due to any fault of his; and friendly relations with the Conyers family was for her instantly at an end with any wrong done to him. Then she passed down the long hall to her bedchamber. The intimacy between these ladies was susceptible of exact analysis; every element comprising it could have been valued as upon a quantitative scale.
Indeed, to an observer who trains himself on the lines indicated in this book, even the quantitative secrets of nature will become objects of intuitive judgment, just as Goethe, by developing this organ of understanding, first found access to nature's qualitative secrets.
Science is quantitative, loves the foot-rule and the balance, methodical, exhaustive, indifferent to the beautiful as such. The poet is curious, asks all manner of questions, and never thinks of waiting for the answer, still less of torturing Nature to get at it. Emerson wonders, for instance, "Why Nature loves the number five,"
We propose to treat it as a psychological process historically displayed; tracing at the same time the advance from qualitative to quantitative prevision; the progress from concrete facts to abstract facts, and the application of such abstract facts to the analysis of new orders of concrete facts; the simultaneous advance in generalisation and specialisation; the continually increasing subdivision and reunion of the sciences; and their constantly improving consensus.
All the peculiarities of electrolysis are capable of interpretation: the phenomena of the transport of ions, the fine experiments of M. Bouty, those of Professor Kohlrausch and of Professor Ostwald on various points in electrolytic conduction, all support the theory. The verifications of it can even be quantitative, and we can foresee numerical relations between conductivity and other phenomena.
Probably nothing better illustrates the formal dependence of literature on language than the prosodic aspect of poetry. Quantitative verse was entirely natural to the Greeks, not merely because poetry grew up in connection with the chant and the dance, but because alternations of long and short syllables were keenly live facts in the daily economy of the language.
The workman's part in industry changes from that of a prime mover to that of discrimination and valuation of quantitative sequences and mechanical facts.
