After March it began to pass northwards, a motion quite apparent by the middle of April ; in June it passed at the same distance from the zenith as it did in December ; and in September it passed through its most northerly position, the extreme range from north to south, i. e. the angle between the March and September positions, being 40 ″.

Some strategies used for treatment include promoting the use of the hemiparetic limb during functional tasks, maintaining range of motion, and using neuromuscular electrical stimulation to decrease spasticity and increase awareness of the limb.

In the Axioms Scholium of his Principia Newton said its axiomatic three laws of motion were already accepted by mathematicians such as Huygens ( 1629 – 1695 ), Wallace, Wren and others, and also in memos in his draft preparations of the second edition of the Principia he attributed its first law of motion and its law of gravity to a range of historical figures.

Fowler found that the feet and legs of dromaeosaurs most closely resemble those of eagles and hawks, especially in terms of having an enlarged second claw and a similar range of grasping motion.

In comparison with other strength sports, which test limit strength ( with or without lifting aids ), Olympic weightlifting tests aspects of human ballistic limits ( explosive strength ) and are therefore executed faster — and with more mobility and a greater range of motion during their execution-than other lifts.

In comparison, hydraulic resistance provides a fixed amount of resistance throughout the range of motion, depending on the speed of the movement.

In comparison, weight training strengthens the muscle throughout the range of motion the joint is trained in, causing an increase in physical strength from the initiating through to terminating joint angle.

The atlas and axis are specialized to allow a greater range of motion than normal vertebrae.

Speech impairments in spastic dysarthria involves four major abnormalities of voluntary movement: spasticity, weakness, limited range of motion and slowness of movement.

For instance, the use of a standing frame can help reduce spasticity and improve range of motion for people with CP who use wheelchairs.

Sails may be attached to the spars by systems of slides, boltropes and hanks designed to allow an appropriate range of motion while maintaining the aerodynamic properties of the sails.

The ball and socket shoulder joint allows for movement of the arms in a wide circular plane, while the structure of the two forearm bones which can rotate around each other allows for additional range of motion at that level.

Newton's laws of motion, together with his law of universal gravitation and the mathematical techniques of calculus, provided for the first time a unified quantitative explanation for a wide range of physical phenomena.

The linear attachment of the eardrum to the malleus actually smooths out this chaotic motion and allows the ear to respond linearly over a wider frequency range than a point attachment.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech ( CAS ) presents in children who have no evidence of difficulty with strength or range of motion of the articulators, but are unable to execute speech movements because of motor planning and coordination problems.

Notable in this category are the Jupiter and Thor intermediate range ballistic missiles, which have been successfully developed, produced, and deployed, but the relative importance of which has diminished with the increasing availability of the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile.

Today, the gin category is one of the most popular and widely distributed range of spirits, and is represented by products of various origins, styles, and flavor profiles that all revolve around juniper as a common ingredient.

Pumps in this category range from " simplex ", with one cylinder, to in some cases " quad " ( four ) cylinders or more.

A quasi ballistic missile ( also called a semi ballistic missile ) is a category of missile that has a low trajectory and / or is largely ballistic but can perform maneuvers in flight or make unexpected changes in direction and range.

If the predicted half-life falls into an experimentally accessible range, such isotopes have a chance to move from the list of stable nuclides to the radioactive category, once their activity is observed.

Henry Pleasants, an American classical-music critic, wrote this about her: She has a lovely voice, one of the warmest and most radiant in its natural range that I have heard in a lifetime of listening to singers in every category.

Note that this notion of image may not correspond to the usual notion of image, or range, of a function, even assuming that the morphisms in the category are functions.

For example, in the category of topological abelian groups, the image of a morphism actually corresponds to the inclusion of the closure of the range of the function.

The pathogenic fungus Cryphonectria parasitica ( formerly Endothia parasitica ) is a member of the ascomycota ( sac fungus ) category, and is the main cause of chestnut blight, a devastating disease of the American chestnut tree that caused a mass extinction in the early 1900s of this once plentiful tree from its historic range in the eastern United States.

The Verdi baritone will generally have a lot of squillo, or " ping "

The chief criticism charges it with reductionism, insofar as it subsumes a range of disparate myths under a single category and ignores important distinctions.

These form a very broad category of beverages whose alcohol content can range from 20 % to 95 % ABV.

Some instruments fall into more than one category: for example, the cello may be considered either tenor or bass, depending on how its music fits into the ensemble, and the trombone may be alto, tenor, or bass and the French horn, bass, baritone, tenor, or alto, depending on which range it is played.

Voting records and bills are searchable and sortable by legislator, issue category, keyword, date range, or a combination of these.

What is usually called a repeater in amateur radio is called a broadcast translator ( different channel ) or booster ( same channel ) in American broadcasting, or the much broader category or rebroadcasters in Canadian broadcasting ( which includes more than just the low-power broadcasting used in the U.

In contrast, medium-or long-range missiles ( MRAAMs or LRAAMs ), which both fall under the category of beyond visual range missiles ( BVRAAMs ), tend to rely upon radar guidance, of which there are many forms.
