We must avoid the notion, suggested to some people by examples such as those just mentioned, that ideas are `` units '' in some way comparable to coins or counters that can be passed intact from one group of people to another or even, for that matter, from one individual to another.

A single statewide assessing unit would eliminate the differences and complications that are inherent in a system of 39 different and independent assessing units ''.

For specialized types of displays, such as large three-dimensional units reproducing a product, package, human or animal figures, etc., reinforced plastics and rotationally molded vinyl plastisols are other materials frequently used.

On large-area units, where additional structural requirements are imposed, one recent approach utilizes modular extruded or formed channels ( e.g. right-angled corrugations ) of the acrylic or butyrate.

Dominant stress is of course more than extended duration, and normally centers on syllables that would have primary stress or phrase stress if the words or longer units they are parts of were spoken alone: a dominant stress given to glorify would normally center on its first syllable rather than its last.

-- Syllables are linguistic units centering in peaks which are usually vocalic but, as has been noted, are consonantal under certain circumstances, and which may or may not be combined with preceding and/or following consonants or combinations of consonants.

Syllables are genuine units, but division of words and sentences into them presents great difficulties.

Tone systems are certainly more complex than the number of units would suggest, and often analytically more difficult than much larger consonantal systems.

The variable costs alone are assigned to the different units of freight traffic as representing `` long-run out-of-pocket costs '' -- a term with a meaning here not distinctly different from that of the economist's `` long-run marginal costs ''.

and a mere cost apportionment which somehow spreads among the classes and units of service even those costs that are strictly unallocable from the standpoint of specific cost determination.

The general basis on which these common costs are assigned to differently measured units of service will be illustrated by the following highly simplified problem of an electric-utility cost analysis.

Cell dimensions, number of formula units per cell, space group, and specific gravity are given for all substances.

The integrals ( in units ) are listed in table 14-1, below.

not like the cracker-box construction of so many of the motel units that have stucco all over the outside but walls that are thin enough so you can hear every movement of the people in the adjoining apartment.

Sixty-seven living units are being added to the 165-unit Harbor View Apartments in the Cherry Hill section.

Parts of `` Defeat Into Victory '' are a tangle of Burmese place names and military units, but a little application makes everything clear enough.

In a randomized controlled experiment, the treatments are randomly assigned to experimental units, following the experimental protocol.

Later experiments are often designed to test a hypothesis that a treatment effect has an important magnitude ; in this case, the number of experimental units is chosen so that the experiment is within budget and has adequate power, among other goals.

Besides the power analysis, there are less formal methods for selecting the number of experimental units.

The standard ampere is most accurately realized using a watt balance, but is in practice maintained via Ohm's Law from the units of electromotive force and resistance, the volt and the ohm, since the latter two can be tied to physical phenomena that are relatively easy to reproduce, the Josephson junction and the quantum Hall effect, respectively.

Archaeological cultural units such as Ancestral Pueblo, Hohokam, Patayan or Mogollon are used by archaeologists to define material culture similarities and differences that may identify prehistoric socio-cultural units, equivalent to modern societies or peoples.

Amino acids are the structural units that make up proteins.

Moreover, at the end of World War II, SNCF inherited more than 200 units of German decapods built in France, mostly BR 44.

Therefore, BR decided to build a dedicated fleet of units to work the new Stansted Express service.

The British Rail Class 108 diesel multiple units were built by BR Derby from 1958 to 1961, with a final production quantity of 333 vehicles.

The Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company was a rolling stock manufacturer, although they were building diesel multiple units for BR.

** BR Class 205 units 205028 ( 1128 ) and 205032 ( 1132 ).

The units were originally painted in BR Blue / Grey livery, which was quickly replaced by InterCity livery.

The British Rail Class 207 ( or 3D ) diesel-electric multiple units were built by BR at Eastleigh in 1962.

The British Rail Class 421 ( or 4Cig ) electrical multiple units were built at BR York Works between 1964 and 1972.

Removing this would be a considerable cost and generating no extra revenue, which, coupled with the increasingly unreliabile old locomotives and DMUs prompted BR to look for a new generation of diesel multiple units.

The British Rail Class 423 ( or 4Vep ) electrical multiple units were built by BR at York Works from 1967 to 1974, although the MBSOs and TSOs of the first 20, 7701-7720, were constructed at Derby Works.

In addition, two units have been specially repainted in old BR liveries, namely maroon and blue / grey.

The British Rail Class 116 diesel multiple units were built by BR Derby from 1957 to 1961.

The British Rail Class 114 diesel multiple units were built by BR Derby from September 1956 to July 1957.

51188 and 51505, in Rail blue | BR Blue livery, pause at Duffield railway station | Duffield station on the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway in Derbyshire, where these units are preserved.

The British Rail Class 127 diesel multiple units were built by BR Derby in 1959.

Like the first batch units, they were delivered in BR Blue / Grey livery.

The British Rail ( BR ) Class 308 alternating current ( AC ) electric multiple units ( EMU ) were built by BR at York, in three batches, from 1959 – 61.

As no new stock had been ordered, BR decided to overhaul Class 308 units for use on these services.

A number of different numbering and classification schemes were used for locomotives and multiple units operated by British Railways ( BR ), and this page explains the principal systems.

In 1948, BR inherited a variety of locomotives and multiple units from the ' Big Four ' railway companies and some smaller concerns.

In the main, new locomotives and multiple units built by BR to pre-nationalisation designs were numbered and classified according to the principles applied by the relevant ' Big Four ' company.

When ScotRail was created by BR, services were operated by a variety of diesel locomotives and coaching stock together with diesel and electric multiple units.
