Amper Quotes

A book floated down the Amper River. A boy jumped in, caught up to it, and held it in his right hand. He grinned. He stood waist-deep in the icy, Decemberish water. “How about a kiss, Saumensch?” he said.

There was also a rumor that later in the day, she walked fully clothed into the Amper River and said something very strange. Something about a kiss. Something about a Saumensch. How many times did she have to say goodbye?

True greatness is when your name is like ampere, watt, and fourier—when it's spelled with a lower case letter.

Liesel crossed the bridge over the Amper River. The water was glorious and emerald and rich. She could see the stones at the bottom and hear the familiar song of water. The world did not deserve such a river.

My mom used to say that faith and fear can't exist simultaneously in the mind any more than light and dark can exist simultaneously in the same room.

One need not fight every battle, or die in the struggle, to be a hero.

Fate is an excuse for people who are too stupid or too weak to make their own future," he said.

We came from a mystery and it's to a mystery we go Maybe there's something there, but I'm betting it's not God as any church understands Him. Look at the babble of conflicting beliefs and you'll know that. They cancel each other out and leave nothing. If you want truth, a power greater than yourselves, look to the lightning - a billion volts in each strike, and a hundred thousand amperes of current, and temperatures of fifty thousand degrees Fahrenheit. There's a higher power in that, I grant you. But here in this building? No. Believe what you want, but I tell you this: behind Saint Paul's darkened glass, there is nothing but a lie.

Your a skid-mark on the underwear of humanity. -Ostin Liss

Grief is a powerful force that settles in the heart like a dark, heavy fog. It was familiar territory to me.

All that's required for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.

Some people aren't meant to fight. They're meant to pick up the pieces.

Elgen can twist the truth all they want, but they can’t change

Always preoccupied with his profound researches, the great Newton showed in the ordinary-affairs of life an absence of mind which has become proverbial. It is related that one day, wishing to find the number of seconds necessary for the boiling of an egg, he perceived, after waiting a minute, that he held the egg in his hand, and had placed his seconds watch (an instrument of great value on account of its mathematical precision) to boil! This absence of mind reminds one of the mathematician Ampere, who one day, as he was going to his course of lectures, noticed a little pebble on the road; he picked it up, and examined with admiration the mottled veins. All at once the lecture which he ought to be attending to returned to his mind; he drew out his watch; perceiving that the hour approached, he hastily doubled his pace, carefully placed the pebble in his pocket, and threw his watch over the parapet of the Pont des Arts.

Ik weet niet meer zo goed... of ik wel een schurk... had moeten zijn.' Zijn blik werd vriendelijker en hij gaf haar een kneepje in haar hand. Ze had amper gemerkt dat hij die had vastgehouden. 'Ik weet ook niet goed of jij dat wel moet zijn... Misschien... zou niemand van ons...

Do not forget that when the heart petrifies there is no progress. All science must be like a fruit, so ordered that it may hang from a tree of the flesh & ripen in the sunlight of passion. Histology, photography, electric bells, telescopes, birds, amperes, smoothing irons, etc. -this is only good for bouncing off the arse of humanity.

Ohm found that the results could be summed up in such a simple law that he who runs may read it, and a schoolboy now can predict what a Faraday then could only guess at roughly. By Ohm's discovery a large part of the domain of electricity became annexed by Coulomb's discovery of the law of inverse squares, and completely annexed by Green's investigations. Poisson attacked the difficult problem of induced magnetisation, and his results, though differently expressed, are still the theory, as a most important first approximation. Ampere brought a multitude of phenomena into theory by his investigations of the mechanical forces between conductors supporting currents and magnets. Then there were the remarkable researches of Faraday, the prince of experimentalists, on electrostatics and electrodynamics and the induction of currents. These were rather long in being brought from the crude experimental state to a compact system, expressing the real essence. Unfortunately, in my opinion, Faraday was not a mathematician. It can scarcely be doubted that had he been one, he would have anticipated much later work. He would, for instance, knowing Ampere's theory, by his own results have readily been led to Neumann's theory, and the connected work of Helmholtz and Thomson. But it is perhaps too much to expect a man to be both the prince of experimentalists and a competent mathematician.

what was going on and was sitting up expecting him. Zeus waved McKenna and Ostin over. Ostin took McKenna by the arm and helped her across the hallway into Ian’s cell. “I saw you do something to this,” Ian said, touching the RESAT. “I can disable it,” Ostin said. “Then do it,” Ian said. “It’s killing me.” Ostin attached the wires from his RESAT to Ian’s, then began unfastening the buckles. Ian slipped the box off, groaning in relief. “Thanks, man. I owe you.” Ostin began dissecting the RESAT. “You’re welcome.” “And for saving McKenna.” Ian

Everybody is familiar with the standard names of SI units for length (meter, m), mass (kilogram, kg) and time (second, s) but degrees Kelvin (K) rather than Celsius are used to measure temperature; the ampere (A) is the unit of electric current, the mole (mol) quantifies the amount of substance and the candela (cd) the luminous intensity. More than twenty derived units, including all energy-related variables, have special names and symbols, many given in honor of leading scientists and engineers. The unit of force, kgm/s2 (kilogram-meter per second squared), is the newton (N): the application of 1 N can accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second each second. The unit of energy, the joule (J), is the force of one newton acting over a distance of one meter (kgm2/s2). Power, simply the energy flow per unit of time (kgm2/s3), is measured in watts (W): one watt equals one J/s and, conversely, energy then equals power 3 times, and hence one J is one watt-second.

remember how we used to play" in the upper atmosphere in the vertical climb in the sky above the clouds remember how we used to play in the nautical dusk along the radians of midheaven… out there amid the scattered wavelengths within the aerosols of a meteorological meadow we tread upon the aether side by side the ampere and the joule the whisper and the gleam borne along effervescent freeways remember how we came to rest inside the amethyst auditorium of a storm there - suspended in an echo-plex of thunder you drew me close and I tasted the voltage of your skin the radiometry of your eyes the amphetamine of your lips the flushed cushion of your tongue

Sinyukhin began by cutting one branch from each of a series of tomato plants. Then he took electrical measurements around the wound as each plant healed and sent out a new shoot near the cut. He found a negative current—a stream of electrons—flowing from the wound for the first few days. A similar "current of injury" is emitted from all wounds in animals. During the second week, after a callus had formed over the wound and the new branch had begun to form, the current became stronger and reversed its polarity to positive. The important point wasn't the polarity—the position of the measuring electrode with respect to a reference electrode often determines whether a current registers as positive or negative. Rather, Sinyukhin's work was significant because he found a change in the current that seemed related to reparative growth. Sinyukhin found a direct correlation between these orderly electrical events and biochemical changes: As the positive current increased,cells in the area more than doubled their metabolic rate, also becoming more acidic and producing more vitamin C than before. Sinyukhin then applied extra current, using small batteries, to a group of newly lopped plants, augmenting the regeneration current.These battery-assisted plants restored their branches up to three times faster than the control plants. The currents were very small—only 2 to 3 microamperes for five days. (An ampere is a standard unit of electric current, and a microampere is one millionth of an ampere.) Larger amounts of electricity killed the cells and had no growth-enhancing effect. Moreover, the polarity had to match that normally found in the plant. When Sinyukhin used current of the opposite polarity, nullifying the plant's own current, restitution was delayed by two or three weeks.

Wat ons hier achter de IJzer nog overblijft, is niet veel meer dan een streep grond die amper te verdedigen valt, wat nat gezeikte loopgraven rond platgeschoten dorpen, kapotgebombardeerde wegen waarover geen voertuig meer rijden kan, een krakende, door onszelf moeizaam meegesjouwde paardenkar

Second only to guarding the freedom of exchange of information, acquire a firm basic knowledge in communications and in technology. Learn to use your native language well and precisely, because ours is and will become even more a communicating society. Equally important, learn the basics of the technological world. If you don't understand the laws of Newton, or don't know the difference between volts and amperes, you'll have little hope of understanding this next century. Trace the functions on a pocket calculator to make such concepts as exponential growth and sinewave oscillation less of a mystery.

De doffe elende van iedere nieuwe of vernieuwde politieke partij is dat ze wordt geïnfiltreerd door opportunisten die, van zodra ze een functie binnen de partij krijgen, ze naast hun schoenen gaan lopen. In 1991 was dit het geval met ene Louis Standaert die amper 72 stemmen verzamelde maar dankzij mijn groot overschot aan stemmen toch verkozen werd als volksvertegenwoordiger. Omdat kort voor de verkiezingen alle opiniepeilingen uitwezen dat we meer dan 5 % van de stemmen zouden halen werd ik vier dagen voor de verkiezingen, na volkomen gefantaseerde klacht van een infiltrante (Ann Holvoet), meteen in de gevangenis opgesloten (de democratie, nietwaar). Daar liet men mij 40 dagen zitten, tot na Kerstmis. In die tussentijd belegde de vers verkozen Louis Standaert een partijvergadering waarop hij eiste dat ... Van Rossem uit de partij moest worden gezet. Later, tijdens dezelfde legislatuur ging hij onder de naam "Banaan" scheep met Roland Duchâtelet om minder dan 2 % van de stemmen binnen te halen. En ook nu is het niet anders. Een aantal volksjongens binnen het nieuwe R.O.S.S.E.M. kreeg het aan de stok met de intellectuelen van de R.O.S.S.E.M., wilde die afschaffen, en mezelf uit de partij laten zetten. Dit trieste maneuver lekte uiteraard uit zodat op grond van art. 2.3 van de statuten de drie oproerkraaiers prompt uit het partijbestuur en de partij werden gezet. Liever er nu korte metten mee gemaakt dan ze straks aan een zitje in het Parlement te helpen om me een dolk in de rug te laten steken à la Louis Standaert. En al ben ik voor mijn politieke tegenstanders een steenezel, dan zal ik mij toch niet een tweede keer aan dezelfde steen stoten.

In the sixteenth century the Reformation introduced a new idea. This was the notion that knowledge is not simply the province of ecclesiastical institutions but that, especially when it comes to matters of conscience, each man should decide for himself. The “priesthood of the individual believer” was an immensely powerful notion because it rejected the papal hierarchy, and by implication all institutional hierarchy as well. Ultimately it was a charter of independent thought, carried out not by institutions but by individuals. The early Protestants didn’t know it, but they were introducing new theological concepts that would give new vitality to the emerging scientific culture of Europe. Here is a partial list of leading scientists who were Christian: Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Brahe, Descartes, Boyle, Newton, Leibniz, Gassendi, Pascal, Mersenne, Cuvier, Harvey, Dalton, Faraday, Herschel, Joule, Lyell, Lavoisier, Priestley, Kelvin, Ohm, Ampere, Steno, Pasteur, Maxwell, Planck, Mendel. A good number of these scientists were clergymen. Gassendi and Mersenne were priests. So was Georges Lemaitre, the Belgian astronomer who first proposed the “big bang” theory for the origin of the universe. Mendel, whose discovery of the principles of heredity would provide vital support for the theory of evolution, spent his entire adult life as a monk in an Augustinian monastery. Where would modern science be without these men? Some were Protestant and some were Catholic, but all saw their scientific vocation in distinctively Christian terms.

Voltage is measured in volts. Current is measured in amperes. Resistance is measured in ohms. One volt is the electrical pressure required to cause 1 ampere of current to flow through a resistance of 1 ohm. Scientists have made experiments which show that 6280 trillion electrons pass a given point each second when there is 1 ampere of current in a circuit.

Na die halfeeuwending het die Franse glans begin taan. Soos ook die belangrikheid van die Franse taal wat al hoe meer voor wêreldwye Engels moet wyk. Die intelligentsia het begin dwaal, geflirt met die Marxisme, of begin om die nuwe gode, die media, en by uitstek die internasionale vervlakking van TV aan te hang. Om self op die kassie te verskyn. 'La trahison des clercs', die verraad van die klerke, noem kritikus Julien Benda dit. Wie kan vandag nuwe groot name in die Franse skrywerswêreld opnoem? Wanneer laas het 'n bekende Franse skrywer die Nobelprys verower? Wie ken Claude Simon? Die styl en dinamiek van stede kom en gaan. Ook dié van beskawings. Dit lyk of die hele Weste op die afdraand van geld is. Op die oomblik is daar geen stad ter wêreld wat Parys se vroeg 20ste-eeuse roem kan ewenaar nie. Miskien amper New York? Ons sien dit ook in die Afrikaanse letterkunde wat 'n sekere elegansie verloor vir 'n brute en verwarde herwaardering van prioriteit in die Suider-Afrika waarin ons woon.

Jaime had parked a meat refrigeration truck in front of the hostel, and when no one was around, he backed it up as close to the blue door as he could so we could enter without being seen by anyone in the alley. When he gave us the signal we took turns climbing in. I was the last to enter. Once I was inside Jaime shut the door, leaving us in darkness. McKenna lit up just bright enough so we could see one another.

Maxwell toma la ley de Gauss para el magnetismo y la electricidad, la ley de Ampere modificada y la ley de Faraday, y crea sus famosas cuatro ecuaciones. Con ellas Maxwell demuestra que electricidad y magnetismo tienen un origen común: es la fuerza electromagnética.

Al jaren klinken de stemmen van hoogopgeleiden in Nederland sterker, worden hun voorkeuren sterker vertaald in beleid en die van laagopgeleiden amper.

Mijn leven hangt samen van onwaarschijnlijkheden. Ik was amper 20 toen ik met m’n klein autootje – een Honda – naar Parijs reed. Bij het binnenrijden van de lichtstad zag ik een mooie witte Rolls-Royce in panne staan. Die wagen bleek van weduwe Van Cleef (red. eigenares van het juwelenimperium Van Cleef § Arpels) te zijn. Ik stopte en kreeg de wagen aan de praat. ‘Mag ik als beloning er eens mee rijden?’ vroeg ik aan haar chauffeur. Zo legde ik contact met één van de rijkste mensen van Frankrijk. We praatten over literatuur en kunst en het klikte. Ze nodigde me bij haar thuis uit en ik ben er 14 dagen gebleven. We gingen samen op stap, ze kocht kleren voor me en ging met me in de chicste Parijse restaurants eten. Daar leerde ze me de beginselen van de etiquette. Ik was een gestampte boer, ik had nog nooit een wijnkaart gezien, maar dronk wel als een echte seigneur Chateau Petrus. Natuurlijk heeft alles z’n prijs. Op een avond wou ze met mij naar bed. Dat was niet simpel: ik was 20, zij 70. Maar toen ik thuiskwam stond er wel een Ferrari 250 LM voor m’n kot. En toen is het begonnen. Ik ging met die auto naar school en zette me op de parking van de proffen. Ineens kon ik elk wijf krijgen.

Vámonos!

Poirot was een buitenissig mannetje. Hoewel amper een meter zestig lang, maakte hij door houding en optreden een waardige indruk. Hij had een eivormig hoofd, dat hij altijd een beetje schuin hield, en een stug, kortgeknipt snorretje. Zijn kleding was tot in de puntjes verzorgd: volgens mij zou een pluisje op zijn pak hem meer pijn doen dan een schotwond. Toch was deze typische dandy die nu, zoals ik tot mijn spijt zag, erg hinkte, in zijn tijd een van de meest gevierde leden van het Belgische politiekorps geweest. Als detective had hij zich onderscheiden door zijn enorme flair en hij had indertijd successen geoogst met het oplossen van enkele van de meest raadselachtige gevallen.

Dit is amper ’n estetiese spel. In briewe en gesprekke praat ek myself in verliefdheid in, rig my drange op ’n fiktiewe, selfgeskape mens en projekteer die beeld op die toevallig byderhandse meisie.

As an electric generator it can produce up to 400,000 volts, resulting in currents with up to three million amperes.

But that is how it is in the world—the wise are hung and the fools are glorified, at least while they are living.

In de diepte zien we het schip (de Mercator) gespiegeld. Naast de donkere steiger, aan de meertouwen en de meerpalen, ligt daaronder een ander schip. Omgekeerd. De spiegeling is exact even scherp als de reële boot zelf. Wij houden halt, durven amper bewegen. Het is een angstaanjagend perspectief. Stel even dat onder ons een andere wereld bestaat, omgekeerd maar even werkelijk. Hoe ingewikkeld is het leven dan als wij diep in ons, gelijktijdig, onszelf moeten meedragen in een duister spiegelbeeld? 's Nachts, in dromen en nachtmerries, zien we hoe groot die andere kant is, vastgeklonken in een diepe zwarte wereld. Wij zijn ook dat, het omgekeerde dat ons draagt.

In het centrum van een stad als Brussel merkte je amper dat de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen voor de deur stonden: er waren geen blinde muren, krotgevels, omheiningen van bouwwerven die op het instinct van plakploegen inwerken als beplaste bomen op een aan de leiband lopende hond.
