We've been living in an age of self-absorption. But the amazing thing is that on one day it all stopped. (Quote by - Laura Bush)
The Jewish Agency for Israel has learned important lessons from its previous experience in the initial absorption of immigrants from Ethiopia and is confident that the immigration and absorption of the current wave of immigration from Ethiopia will be successful. (Quote by - Zeev Bielski)
Everything is nothing. Everything is all. All is one. One is inconceivable, infinite. Therefore it is nothing. Everything is matter. Matter is electricity. Electricity is invisible, intangible. Therefore it is nothing. Therefore, everything is nothing. Atoms are made up of electrons and protons. (Protons are also nothing) Fifty billion electrons placed side to side in a straight line would stretch across the diameter of the period at the end of this sentence. Protons are heavier and take up less space. Such an idea is incapable of absorption by the human mind. (Quote by - John Lardner)
If we do see additional absorption of spare labor market capacity, that could mean more rate hikes through the summer. (Quote by - William Sullivan)
I think the real key is absorption. (Quote by - Gordon Von Stroh)
The tantalizing and compelling pursuit of mathematical problems offers mental absorption, peace of mind amid endless challenges, repose in activity, battle without conflict, refuge from the goading urgency of contingent happenings, and the sort of beauty changeless mountains present to sense tried by the present-day kaleidoscope of events. (Quote by - Morris Kline)
This new measurement method combines the chemical selectivity of optical absorption spectroscopy with the atomic-scale resolution of scanning tunneling microscopy. The method literally feels how a molecule changes shape when it absorbs energy. (Quote by - Martin Gruebele)
By far the most dangerous foe we have to fight is apathy - indifference from whatever cause, not from a lack of knowledge, but from carelessness, from absorption in other pursuits, from a contempt bred of self satisfaction. (Quote by - Sir William Osler)
Playing seems to be both disinterested and passionate at the same time; disinterested in that it is not for real, and passionate in the absorption it requires. (Quote by - Oliver Bevan)
These are regarded as simply Western exercises in self-absorption, self-indulgence and self-flagellation, and completely alien to the Chinese situation. (Quote by - Roland Soong)
You don't want to take iron-rich foods with a lot of milk or with a lot of coffee because they decrease the absorption of the iron. (Quote by - Julie Metos)
Absorption in ease is one of the most reliable signs of present or impending decay . (Quote by - Richard Weaver)
There is today an extraordinary interest with the data of modern experience per se. Our absorption in our contemporary historical state is very high right now. It's not altogether unlike a similar situation in seventeenth century Holland, where wealthy merchants wanted their portraits done with all their blemishes included. It is the height of egotism, in a sense, to think even one's blemishes are of significance. So today Americans seem to want their writers to reveal all their weaknesses, their meannesses, to celebrate their very confusions. And they want it in the most direct possible way - they want it served up neat, as it were, without the filtering and generalizing power of fiction. (Quote by - Saul Bellow)
Single molecule absorption spectroscopy is an extremely sensitive technique for analytical chemistry, for measuring electrical properties of molecules, and for studying energy transfer on surfaces. While most molecules don't fluoresce -- limiting the usefulness of single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy -- all molecules absorb, making single molecule absorption spectroscopy a much more general approach.
