Although this was interpreted by later writers, Pliny and Diodorus, to mean that triremes were invented in Corinth, it is likely that the earliest three-tiered warships originated in Phoenicia.

Although the effect of this will not be known for many years, it potentially could mean disaster for the hundreds of millions of people who rely on the glaciers to feed the rivers of northern India during the dry seasons.

Although, in this belief system, it does not necessarily mean one's internal " heat " or " cold " balance is directly related to being physically hot ( to the point of sweating ) or cold ( feeling chilly from cold weather ).

Although Kurzweil agrees that by 2019 the current strategy of ever-finer photolithography will have run its course, he speculates that this does not mean the end of Moore's law:

Although Loch Suaineabhal has only 25 % of the Langavat's surface area it has a mean depth of and is the most voluminous on the island.

Although this was terrible news for the islands as a whole, as Isaac Dookhan has pointed out, this did mean that the value of land plummeted sharply, and enabled the newly free black community to purchase land where otherwise it might not have been able to do so.

Although this is closer to the mean tropical year of 365. 24219 days, his proposal has never been adopted because the Gregorian calendar is based on the mean time between vernal equinoxes ( currently 365. 2424 days ).

Although the extreme lack of water in the Great Basin makes this distinction of little current practical use, it does mean that in wetter times the lake that once filled Death Valley ( Lake Manly ) was the last stop for water flowing in the region, meaning the water there was saturated in dissolved materials.

Although some traditional trolley or tram systems still exist to this day, the term " light rail " has come to mean a different type of rail system.

Although the name " Indochina " is today a political anachronism, it is still sometimes used to refer to the " Indochinese Region " to mean a major biogeographical region in the Indomalaya ecozone, and also a phytogeographical floristic region in the Paleotropical Kingdom.

Although the term altitude is commonly used to mean the height above sea level of a location, in geography the term elevation is often preferred for this usage.

" Although literally meaning " over-heart " or " having too much heart ", it could mean either " pride " or " excess of courage " ( cf.

Although a player might perform significantly better or worse from one game to the next, Elo assumed that the mean value of the performances of any given player changes only slowly over time.

" Although most scholars, and almost all Christians, read this as meaning that the gathering would include people not only from earth but also from heaven, a few Christians, mostly modern American Protestant Premillennialists, have interpreted it to mean that people would be gathered from earth and taken to heaven — a concept known in their circles as the rapture.

Although there are few examples of such systems competitive with traditional analysis techniques, potential advantages include size / portability, speed, and cost.

Although the pinyin method is easier to learn, root shapes are often preferred by professional typists due to their faster input speed.

Although the theory of special relativity forbids objects to have a relative velocity greater than light speed, and general relativity reduces to special relativity in a local sense ( in small regions of spacetime where curvature is negligible ), general relativity does allow the space between distant objects to expand in such a way that they have a " recession velocity " which exceeds the speed of light, and it is thought that galaxies which are at a distance of more than about 14 billion light-years from us today have a recession velocity which is faster than light.

Although he failed to detect any parallax, thereby placing a lower limit on the distance to stars, he discovered another effect, stellar aberration, an effect which depends not on position ( as in parallax ), but on speed.

:" Although theoretical calculations can be made today, the eventually attainable range of chemical reaction cycles, error rates, speed of operation, and thermodynamic efficiencies of such bottom-up manufacturing systems cannot be reliably predicted at this time.

Although vehicles with higher clearances ( such as trucks ) are typically immune from this effect, the force of striking any 270 + kg ( 600 + pound ) object at high speed should not be underestimated.

Although many variations of impulse turbines existed prior to Pelton's design, they were less efficient than Pelton's design ; the water leaving these wheels typically still had high speed, and carried away much of the energy.

Although this form of speed skating is newer, it is growing faster than long-track speed skating, largely because short track can be done on a regular ice rink rather than a long-track oval.

Although this is a relatively fast movement, perhaps a second or so while transmission is in neutral, it allows the engine speed to drop and synchronize engine and transmission revolutions relative to the road speed.

Although walking speeds can vary greatly depending on factors such as height, weight, age, terrain, surface, load, culture, effort, and fitness, the average human walking speed is about 5. 0 kilometres per hour ( km / h ), or about 3. 1 miles per hour ( mph ).

Although this arrangement provided a neat physical coupling between the controller and the disk, single-sector internal transfers and dependence on the speed of the host machine to transfer data to memory meant that a trial-and-error approach was still needed to set the disk interleave correctly to ensure optimum transfer rates.

Although this is only about, when comparing this speed with that of higher organisms in terms of number of lengths moved per second, it is extremely fast.

Although European designers were moving towards heavier 30 mm weapons for better hitting power, the U. S. initially concentrated on a powerful. 60 caliber ( 15 mm ) cartridge designed for a pre-war anti-tank rifle, expecting that the cartridge's high muzzle velocity would be beneficial for improving hit ratios on high speed targets.

Although sequences that are closer to truly random can be generated using hardware random number generators, pseudorandom numbers are important in practice for their speed in number generation and their reproducibility, and they are thus central in applications such as simulations ( e. g., of physical systems with the Monte Carlo method ), in cryptography, and in procedural generation.

Although it can reach high speeds, its body cannot stand long distance running, because it is more suited to short bursts of speed.

Although motorization has increased speed and load capacity, many forms of human-powered transport remain popular for reasons of lower cost, leisure, physical exercise and environmentalism.

Although commonly known as " dry ski slopes ", many slopes are lubricated using a mist or jet system to increase speed and prevent damage to equipment from friction heat build-up.

Although this might also be done by other tools ( as regular hammers and heavy rolls ), a vibrator is often used to speed up the process.

Although DCS is not a common event, its potential severity is such that much research has gone into preventing it, and underwater divers use dive tables or dive computers to set limits on their exposure to pressure and their ascent speed.

Although m · s < sup >− 1 </ sup > is an SI derived unit, it could be viewed as more fundamental than the metre, since the metre is now derived from the speed of light in a vacuum, which is defined as exactly 299 792 458 m · s < sup >− 1 </ sup > by the BIPM.
