Like Orson Welles or Elvis Presley, he had a history of weight fluctuations through his career, attributed to his years of stress-related overeating followed by compensatory dieting.

In 1992, Russian Professor of Chemistry, Yevgeny Podkletnov, and Nieminen, Tampere University of Technology, Tampere, Finland, discovered weight fluctuations in objects above an electromagnetically levitated, massive, composite superconducting disk.

Unlike the whitetail, the mule deer does not generally show marked size variation across its range, although environmental conditions can cause considerable weight fluctuations in any given population.

The cause of these two fluctuations was twofold: the growth of the ice, which absorbed large quantities of water, and the weight of the ice in the north that caused the landmass to tilt.

* History of weight fluctuations

There are millions who accept this doctrine, but few indeed are those who accept it so truly that the fate of humanity lies as a weight on their souls night and day.

The lighter weight also means less costly supports and mountings are needed.

These are fluids which one would expect to be less viscoelastic or more Newtonian because of their lower molecular weight.

These widely advertised products, which are used primarily for washing clothes, are based on high-sudsing, synthetic organic actives ( sodium alkylbenzenesulfonates ) and contain up to 50% by weight of sodium tripolyphosphate or a mixture of sodium tripolyphosphate and tetrasodium pyrophosphate.

At the present time we do not know by what biochemical mechanism TSH acts on the thyroid, but for bio-assay of the hormone there are a number of properties by which its activity may be estimated, including release of iodine from the thyroid, increase in thyroid weight, increase in mean height of the follicular cells and increase in the thyroidal uptake of Af.

All these evaluations are then totted up and tabulated, by adding up the Hits and Significants, with the weight placed on those in the sitter's own reading.

A trend toward composite armour is taking place in place of steel-composites are stronger for a given weight, allowing the tank to be lighter for the same protection as steel armour, or better protected for the same weight.

Adhesives are advantageous for joining thin or dissimilar materials, minimizing weight, and providing a vibration-damping joint.

100 % solid PSAs may be low viscosity polymers that are coated and then reacted with radiation to increase molecular weight and form the adhesive ; or they may be high viscosity materials that are heated to reduce viscosity enough to allow coating, and then cooled to their final form.
