 Federation - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
In a federation, the division of power between federal and regional governments is usually outlined in the constitution.
In Germany, the division of powers is less one of content than of administration: the federal government often merely issues broad directives to the Länder (self-governing regions), which then have broad discretion as to how to implement them.
One issue is that the exact division of power and responsibility between federal and regional governments is often a source of controversy.

 Civilian
However, civilian property may be destroyed in pursuit of a military objective; civilian property may be seized for military use; and collateral damage is an accepted part of war.
In practice, the neat division between combatants and non-combatants implicit in such treaties can get very blurry, particularly in guerilla warfare[?] where the guerillas receive the support of the local population.
It is sometimes argued that the division between civilian and military and the abhorrence towards attacks on civilians is a reflection of Western attitudes to war, and that other societies do not make such distinctions but find other aspects of Western-style warfare abhorrent (such as strategic bombing).

 Division
In mathematics, especially elementary arithmetic, division is an arithmetic operation which is the reverse operation of multiplication and sometimes can be interpreted as repeated subtraction.
This form is also often used as the final form of a fraction, without any implication that it needs to be evaluated further.
It is not possible to define division by zero in any useful way.

 Bible - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Also, the division of what text fits into any particular division of JEDP is purely arbitrary and based mostly on the particular scholar's speculation.
Scholars who accept the documentary hypothesis differ as to whether these sources were or were not divinely inspired, and also differ over the nature and extent of their obligation to the 613 commandments and to the body of law represented in the Oral Torah.
Chapter divisions were first used by Jews in a 1330 manuscript, and for a printed edition in 1516.

In these forms it is the gametophyte that is completely reduced and the sporophyte begins life inside an enclosure called seed which develops on its parent.
These divisions are grouped into gymnosperms (naked seeds; first four) and the plants or angiosperms.
The angiosperms are the last major of plants to appear emerging during the Jurassic with a major radiation in the Cretaceous that resulted in their becoming the land plants in most biomes.

 Mahesh Joshi - Research
Word sense disambiguation is the problem of automatically assigning the correct meaning to a word that has multiple meanings.
Disambiguation in medical text is different from disambiguation of English words in general because of the specialized domain of medicine as well as the nature of the text that we are dealing with.
This might mean that features such as part of speech tags that are common for disambiguation of English text in general are not useful for medical text.

The division was transported by train to Suwalki, Poland (August 28), from where it had to continue by foot on a 900 km march.
In addition, 372 members of the Blue Division, the Blue Legion or volunteers of the Spanische-Freiwilligen Kompanie der SS 101 were taken as prisoners by the Russian forces.

 Illinois Psychology: Brain and Cognition Division
The Brain and Cognition division offers a comprehensive program in Cognitive Neuroscience, encompassing both human and animal approaches to questions about functional organization and neural architecture of cognition.
The research of the faculty in this division makes use of a vast array of methods, including functional and structural MRI, psychophysiological recordings (e.g., ERP, MEG), eye-tracking, neuropsychological testing, and optical readings (EROS and NIRS)in humans, as well as single unit recording, and pharmacological and lesion preparations in animals.
Because of the highly collaborative nature of the work of members of this division and the hands-on methodological training offered, students in the program have exposure to, and are encouraged to gain direct experience with, a number of these methods.

 United States Department of Agriculture Summary
This division was charged with collecting statistics on agriculture in the United States and carrying out research, as well as distributing seeds.
The officer in charge of the department was initially called the Commissioner of Agriculture, but the Department was raised to cabinet level on February 9, 1889, and the Commissioner was renamed the Secretary of Agriculture.
Ellsworth's interest in aiding agriculture was evident in his annual reports that called for a public depository to preserve and distribute the various new seeds and plants, a clerk to collect agricultural statistics, the preparation of statewide reports about crops in different regions, and the application of chemistry to agriculture.

 The Prosodic Structure: Properties and Constraints
In both cases, a specific stress, manifested by a specific contour, appears on the last syllable of the propos Maximilien to mark the division of the sentence into propos and thème.
If the conditions of such a division into propos and thème are not met, the stress located on the last syllable of Maximilien is realized differently (or neutralized, as we will see later).
Now if no division propos-thème occurs, the first prosodic word has a stressed syllable with a contour, which we can characterize by negative properties: it has to be different from Cd and Ci.

 Cancer - skin cancer
Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell division and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent tissue (invasion) or by migration of cells to distant sites (metastasis).
Cell division (proliferation) is a physiological process that occurs in almost all tissues and under many circumstances.
Biopsy and microscopical examination can also distinguish between malignancy and hyperplasia, which refers to tissue growth based on an excessive rate of cell division, leading to a larger than usual number of cells but with a normal orderly arrangement of cells within the tissue.

After finishing second in their division in 1994 (in a strike year), 1995, and 1996, the Astros won consecutive division titles in 1997, 1998, and 1999.
In 2001, the Astros won another NL Central title, but were again eliminated from the playoffs in the first round by the Braves.
Despite four NL Central division titles in five years, the Astros lost in the first round each year (three times to the Braves) so Dierker was fired and replaced by former Boston Red Sox manager Jimy Williams.

 Atom - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
Dalton's work in the 19th century proved that matter was made up of atoms, but he knew nothing of their structure.
This goes against the theory of infinite divisibility, which states that matter can always be divided into smaller parts.
Through this time, atoms were thought to be the smallest possible piece of matter.

 LINGUIST List 6.1595: Southeastern conf on ling, Word sense disambiguation
The disambiguation of word senses involves, a priori, determining what the appropriate sense distinctions for a given word are.
Many studies have shown that the kinds of sense distinctions made by most everyday dictionaries (and even some computer dictionary resources such as WordNet) are too finely-grained, and in some cases not even appropriate, to serve the purposes of language analysis.
There is no precise quantitative study on what the knowledge "needs" are in order to disambiguate a given word in a given context.

On August 20 Georgy Zhukov opened a major offensive with heavy air attack and three hours of artillery bombardment, after which three infantry divisions and five armoured brigades, supported by a fighter regiment and masses of artillery (57 thousand troops in total), stormed the 75,000 Japanese force deeply entrenched in the area.
At the time of the Nazi assault on the USSR in June 1941, the Red Army had 303 divisions and 22 brigades (4.8 million troops), including 166 divisions and 9 brigades (2.9 million troops) stationed in the western military districts.
The first weeks of the war saw the annihilation of virtually the entire Soviet Air Force on the ground, the loss of major equipment, tanks, artillery, and major Soviet defeats as German forces trapped hundreds of thousands of Red Army soldiers in vast pockets.
