After publishing an essay in the journal Logos critical of Willhelm Dilthey's view of history, this philosopher entered into a notable correspondence with Dilthey. Students of this thinker include the author of The Literary Work of Art, Roman Ingarden, as well as Eugen Fink, who was for a long time the possessor of this thinker's Bernau manuscripts. This philosopher's early works were attempts to base mathematics in psychology, while a later work addressed intersubjective experience with the concept of "lifeworld". In addition to Philosophy of Arithmetic and a series of speeches entitled The Crisis of European Sciences, his work Ideas defined the concept of noesis. That work also introduced his idea of the eidetic reudction, which employs a suspension of judgment he called epoche, or bracketing. For 10 points, identify this thinker who advanced the science of phenomenology in his Logical Investigations.

In the Peccei-Quinn theory, which seeks a solution to the strong CP problem, the triangle anomaly involving these particles spontaneously breaks symmetry and gives mass to the axion.

In the Peccei-Quinn theory, which seeks a solution to the strong CP problem, the triangle anomaly involving these particles spontaneously breaks symmetry and gives mass to the axion. Evidence for the existence of these particles was deduced from three hadronic jet events with zero total angular momentum using electron-positron collisions in the PETRA experiment, which also determined this particle's spin. Deep inelastic scattering of photons off protons reveal that these neutral particles carry away about half of the proton momentum. Like quarks, these particles are unobservable in the singlet state due to asymptotic freedom. These spin-1 particles are massless and mediate a force described by the SU(3) symmetry group, which results in their carrying a color charge. For 10 points, identify these gauge bosons of QCD, which mediate the strong force.

This man got his first major break when being appointed to the post of Junior Lord of the Admiralty during the ministry of the Duke of Portland. Soon afterwards, he was appointed to Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was at that time a less important office than what it would later become. This man's long stint as Foreign Secretary came to an end with the demise of Melbourne's administration, when he was replaced by Lord Aberdeen, who was considerably less interventionist than this man. This man famously made his Civis Romanus sum speech in defense of his stance on the Don Pacifico Affair. This man was both preceeded and succeded by John Russell in his most famous post, during which the Second Opium War occurred as well as the American Civil War. For 10 points, name this last British Prime Minister to die in office, known for his aggressive liberal interventionist stance on foreign policy, and who sometimes lends his name to his namesake "age".

One effect of this event was the dismissal of Matthew Ploughman as customs collector. Fitz-John Winthrop led an assault on Canada undertaken as a result of this event. During this event, a council known as the General Assembly of the Province was appointed to raise taxes. This event began when a group of allegedly drunk men deposed Nicholas Bayard as commander of Fort James, and both Bayard and William Nichols were imprisoned.

The spherical model of Berlin and Kac can be used to show that this quantity varies linearly with defect concentration.

The spherical model of Berlin and Kac can be used to show that this quantity varies linearly with defect concentration. Landau-Ginzburg theory defines four critical exponents related to this quantity, two of which are the degree of the critical isotherm and the heat capacity. One way of deriving this quantity is through a theory in which the effective field is replaced by its mean equilibrium value; that method produces disagreements with experiment of up to a factor of two, and is known as the Weiss theory. When this quantity is approached from below, the magnetization goes continuously to zero, and rotation symmetry is broken at this point, which represents a second-order phase transition. Above this analogue of the Neel point, magnetic ordering is lost. For 10 points, identify this temperature above which a ferromagnet becomes paramagnetic.

This property is equal to the negative log of the acid dissociation constant, minus the log of the quotient of the concentration of the weak acid and that of its conjugate base, by the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

Gutmann introduced a measure that increases with the strength of these and is known as DN. In molecular orbital theory, reactions involving them see their HOMO interact with their counterpart's LUMO. Electron withdrawing groups decrease the ability of aromatic ring containing compounds to act as one, while imidazole and pyridine act as these. E2 elimination is promoted by relatively strong examples of these, and nucleophiles correspond with a classification of these. In one classification, they are electron pair donators, while according to the Bronsted-Lowry definition they accept protons. For 10 points, name these substances with a pH greater than 7.

The Heine-Cantor theorem states that if there is compactness, this property is equivalent to its uniform variety. The Dirichlet function does not have this property anywhere. In Lesbegue integration, its absolute version holds for a function f on an interval if and only if there exists a function g such that the integral of g from the start of the interval to any point in the interval equals f. Its topological definition requires that the inverse of every open set be open. A function f of x has this property at a point b if the limit of f of x as x approaches b is f of b. For 10 points, name this property of some functions, sometimes described as the ability to be drawn without raising a pencil.
