high temperatures than are RTDs or thermocouples. The use of thermistors is generally limited to a few hundred degrees Celsius, and manufacturers warn that extended exposures, even well below maximum operating limits, will cause the thermistor to drift out of its specified tolerance. Thermistors can be manufactured very small, which means they will respond quickly to temperature changes. It also means that their small thermal mass makes them susceptible to self-heating errors. Thermistors are more

Section 1 outre, le changement organisationnel ou même le simple passage du temps peuvent entraîner une évolution. Rousseau & Parks (1993) identifient plusieurs modalités d’évolution du contrat psychologique. La « dérive contractuelle » (contract drift) a lieu lorsque le temps modifie la compréhension des termes du contrat par l’individu en raison de changements purement internes (évolution personnelle, vieillissement). Ces changements recouvrent l’évolution de la personnalité et des valeurs, mais

broken down (deconstructed) to allow for pluralism, difference and, above all, inclusiveness. All that is possible is a process of examination and re-examination which can have no end. Jean-François Lyotard (1924–98) diagnosed language and meaning as ‘drift’. La Condition postmoderne (1979) took as its premise the death of absolutes, certainties and general principles, and therefore the impossibility of consensus through universal ‘master narratives’. For Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929), the number and variety

for death stared me in the face, while there was always the possibility that, as I was born under a lucky star, I might find myself safe and sound in some desirable land. I decided at any rate to risk it, and speedily built myself a stout raft of drift-wood with strong cords, of which enough and to spare lay strewn upon the beach. I then made up many packages of rubies, emeralds, rock crystal, ambergris, and precious stuffs, and bound them upon my raft, being careful to preserve the balance, and

Americans have altered between relatively favorable and relatively unfavorable views of government activity. Indeed, the parallelism is so substantial that a policy maker could use knowledge of the tracks of opinion in any one area to estimate opinion drift accurately in another. This suggests that attending to global public opinion shifts is both effective and economical as a means to factor knowledge of public opinion into public policy decisions. This particular evidence cannot tell us that policy

dissent only if queried after an appropriate prompting stimulation. Verdicts to standing sentences can be prompted too: stimulation implemented by an interferometer once prompted Michelson and Morley to dissent from the standing sentence 'There is ether drift', and a speaker's assent can be prompted yearly to 'The crocuses are out', daily to 'The Times has come'. But these standing sentences contrast with occasion sentences in that the subject may repeat his old assent or dissent unprompted by current stimulation

the sentence. "No, I'm not ready to do that," she says. "Okay, look," I say. "The choice is this: You stay away and we get a divorce. Or we get back together and struggle to make the marriage work. The longer you stay away, the more we're going to drift apart from each other and toward a divorce. And if we get a divorce, you know what's going to happen. We've seen it happen over and over to our friends. Do you really want that? Come on, come home. I promise we can make it better." She shakes her head
