 Subject Matter & Print Size
I painted large when the subject was either very small, and called for enlargement in order to make details visible, or when the subject called for strength, for gestural quality in the facture, for movement and speed in the brushstrokes, an approach that cannot be successfully used with small pieces.
Subjects printed much larger than nature take on a presence that they do not normally have because we are not used to seeing them at that size.
Subjects printed much smaller than nature take on a precious appearance, because we can now hold in our hand, so to speak, something that is normally too large for us to hold.

 Facets of Subject Matter
Missing from the debate is a sense of the complexity of subject matter, a complexity that generates conflicting meanings, alternative methods, fuzzy boundaries, and thus complementary possibilities for teaching.
This paper assumes that subject matter as a curricular commonplace is a variable, not a fixed, term and, therefore, that detailed analyses of particular subject matters are curricular resources in ways not typically imagined in schools.
As a consequence, its proper subject matters are seen to include: computers and their organization, programming languages, the analysis of algorithms, and the interface between humans and machines.

 Patentable subject matter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In most patent laws, patentable subject matter (or statutory subject matter) is the requirement that an invention, for which patent protection is sought, is of a kind of subject matter that is, by law, allowed patent protection.
It does not matter whether the process is within the traditional technological arts or not.
Therefore, like the traditional exceptions to patentable subject matter, the purpose of the mathematical algorithm exception was to encourage development of new technologies by not granting patents that would preclude others from using abstract mathematical principles.

 Subject classification with DITA and SKOS
Subject classification is as much a part of the information architecture of your content as the navigational organization.
To define a subject, you create a DITA topic (typically a concept topic) to identify an aspect of the subject matter of your content (see Figure 2).
This approach of imposing alternative organizational structures on subjects fits well with the standard use of DITA maps for separating context from content, allowing different organizations to be imposed on the same content.

 Guidelines for Subject Matter Eligibility - OG Date: 22 November 2005
Interim Guidelines for Examination of Patent Applications for Patent Subject Matter Eligibility In the mid-1990's, the USPTO sought to clarify the legal requirements for statutory subject matter with regard to computer-related inventions.
The subject matter courts have found to be outside of, or exceptions to, the four statutory categories of invention is limited to abstract ideas, laws of nature and natural phenomena.
Such instances of mixed attributes, although potentially confusing as to which category of patentable subject matter it belongs in, does not affect the analysis to be performed by the examiner.

 PATENTABLE SUBJECT [ANTI]MATTER
Because all matter was created from energy at the beginning of the universe, during the "big bang", and because matter and antimatter are always created in equal amounts, the natural conclusion is that there must be an equal amount of matter and antimatter in the universe.
Alternatively, even if matter and antimatter did manage to segregate into separate galaxies, physicists would still expect to see intense bursts of light resulting from matter-antimatter annihilations at the edges of galaxies because a tenuous gas of elemental helium pervades nearly the entire universe.
Nonetheless, the analysis of whether antihydrogen is appropriate subject matter for a patent, whether it is a man-made invention or a product of nature, is intriguing because it presents a unique opportunity to study the results at the edge of the product of nature doctrine.

 Engagement with Subject Matter Overview
They were no longer engaged with their subjects, never expressed any excitement or joy in the beauty of what they taught, and their lack of interest did little more than to communicate the message that the subject they taught was without importance or relevance but needed to be studied anyway.
By the same token, a teacher's enthusiasm is often contagious, fueling the desire to dig deep into a subject and explore all of its little nooks and crannies.
Enthusiasm, for me, is also inspired by understanding the conceptual framework and underlying principles of a subject and exploring how they are connected to other fields as well as the principles that guide my own beliefs and actions.
