epicycle

The efficiency of the proposed device for controlling speed changes by means of a differential transmission with a closed hydraulic system via the solar gear, in the case where the driving link is the carrier and the driven one is the epicycle, appears as follows

Such detailed analysis, undertaken in the light of abundant paleographical evidence for scribal behavior, might well dispel the fascination with lost leaves that has led to many scholars surrendering to the implausible lure of the textual epicycle.

In turn, the Maraghah models advanced the notion that the uniform rotation of spheres controlled the direction and distance of the centre of the epicycle, together.

The angular diameter of the Moon was minimum (and hence equal to that of the Sun) when it was at the apogee of its epicycle, i.e.

According to Novak, inclusive fitness is "somewhat like an epicycle," referring to the Ptolemaic solar system with the Earth at its center.

This then required, and correctly so, that the orbits have epicycle components.

(9) Unlike Ptolemaic astronomy, which purports "to save the appearances" by grafting epicycle onto epicycle, Professor Domingo demonstrates that his global law is a whole that affects all of its constituent parts--namely, the concepts of territoriality, state, sovereignty, and person.

The exemption clause specified by infinity shades adds an ungraceful epicycle to the standard selection rule.

(14) Doing this will add another epicycle to the already doubly subjunctive response-dependence theory (being disposed to have a sentiment means being disposed to be disposed to feel an emotion).
