The Lost Generation
(noun)
The "Lost Generation" is a term used to refer to the generation that came of age during World War I.
Examples of The Lost Generation in the following topics:
-
The Lost Generation
- The Lost Generation was a group of writers and artists, including many expatriates, who helped define a larger, modernist movement after World War I.
- The term "Lost Generation" first appeared in Hemingway’s novel, The Sun Also Rises, which centers on a group of expatriate Americans in Europe during the 1920s and epitomizes the lifestyle and mindset of the post-war expatriate generation.
- You are a lost generation."
- The “Lost Generation” was greatly influenced by the First World War.
- Eliot was an important figure among the "Lost Generation" movement of writers.
-
Sectionalism and the New South
- The Legend of the Lost Cause began as mostly a literary expression of the despair of a bitter, defeated people over a lost identity.
- Historians, including Gaines Foster, generally agree that the Lost Cause narrative also "helped preserve white supremacy".
- The term Lost Cause first appeared in the title of an 1866 book by the historian Edward A.
- Pollard, The Lost Cause: A New Southern History of the War of the Confederates.
- However, it was the articles written by General Jubal A.
-
Lower of Cost or Market
- The company would then record a USD 400 loss because the inventory has lost some of its revenue-generating ability.
- Thus, the inventory has lost value.
- The criterion for reporting this is the current market value.
- The company would then record a USD 400 loss because the inventory has lost some of its revenue-generating ability.
- The company must recognize the loss in the period the loss occurred.
-
The Battle of Chancellorsville
- The Confederate army won at the Battle of Chancellorsville, but lost many troops, including General "Stonewall" Jackson.
- The campaign pitted Union Army Major General Joseph Hooker's Army of the Potomac against General Robert E.
- The victory was tempered by heavy casualties and the mortal wounding of Lieutenant General Thomas J.
- Just as seriously, he lost his most aggressive field commander, Stonewall Jackson.
- The stand was brief as the Confederates smashed through and continued to roll up the Eleventh Corps (under command of General Oliver O.
-
Depression Politics
- It was accompanied by violence; the miners lost and many moved toward the Populist party.
- The Democrats lost 125 seats in the election while the Republicans gained 130 seats.
- The Populist Party ran candidates in the South and Midwest, but generally lost ground, outside Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas where state-level fusion with the Republicans was successful despite Populist and Republican antagonism at the national level.
- Democrat William Jennings Bryan lost the Senate race in Nebraska, but came back to win the 1896 presidential nomination.
- He lost, as did Bryan every time.
-
Transferring of Energy between Trophic Levels
- Energy is lost as it is transferred between trophic levels; the efficiency of this energy transfer is measured by NPE and TLTE.
- Assimilation is the biomass (energy content generated per unit area) of the present trophic level after accounting for the energy lost due to incomplete ingestion of food, energy used for respiration, and energy lost as waste.
- The extra heat generated in endotherms, although an advantage in terms of the activity of these organisms in colder environments, is a major disadvantage in terms of NPE.
- In general, NPE for ectotherms is an order of magnitude (10x) higher than for endotherms.
- Because the NPE is low, much of the energy from animal feed is lost.
-
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
- For example, when an airplane flies through the air, some of the energy of the flying plane is lost as heat energy due to friction with the surrounding air.
- Likewise, some energy is lost in the form of heat during cellular metabolic reactions.
- The more energy that is lost by a system to its surroundings, the less ordered and more random the system is.
- This holds true for solids, liquids, and gases in general.
- That energy has been lost to the environment, usually in the form of heat.
-
Casting
- Metal is one of the most common materials that artists cast, and the most common process used to cast metal is called the lost-wax casting process, variably known as lost-mold and waste-wax casting.
- Lost-wax casting is the process of casting an artist's sculpture in a metal, such as gold, silver, bronze, or brass.
- An ancient practice, the oldest examples of lost-wax casting have been found in India and date back nearly 5,000 years to the Harappan period.
- Lost-wax casting was widespread in Europe until the 18th century at which point the piece-mold process came to dominate.
- The process today varies from foundry to foundry; however the steps which are usually used in casting small bronze sculptures in a modern bronze foundry are generally quite standardized.

Diazo Ketone Reactions
- The Arndt-Eistert reaction is a special case of a more general class of diazo ketone reactions.
- The first diagram below outlines some of these transformations, originating from the diazo ketone formula in the center of the diagram.
- Molecular nitrogen is lost in each case, and the Wolff rearrangement path is on the left.
- Most of the other reactions reflect the ability of carbenes to insert into sigma bonds or add to double bonds.
- Metal catalysts are sometimes used to facilitate certain reactions, and may associate with carbenes to generate carbenoid intermediates.
-
Opportunistic Microorganisms
- HIV is an opportunistic infections that feeds on the fact the the immune system is suppressed.
- In the general realm of biology, an opportunist is an organism that is able sustain its life from a number of different sources, but when favorable conditions arise, the organism immediately takes advantage of the opportunity to thrive.
- When the number of CD4+ T cell numbers fall below a critical level, cell-mediated immunity is lost.
- When immunity is lost, the opportunistic microorganisms can easily infect the AIDS patient without being destroyed by the immune system.
- It takes advantage of the opportunity to infect the lymphocytes, macrophages and granulocytes as soon as it enters the area of broken skin.
