This is particularly important for light, modern anchors designed to bury in the bottom, where ratios of 5 – 7 to 1 are common, whereas heavy anchors and moorings can use 3 to 1 or less.

δ < sup > 1 </ sup > is a red giant star located 765 light years away, with a magnitude of 4. 7. δ < sup > 2 </ sup > is an orange giant star located 663 light years away, with a magnitude of 5. 3.

Arcturus is a type K1. 5 IIIpe orange giant star — the letters " pe " stand for " peculiar emission ," which indicates that the spectrum of light given off by the star is unusual and full of emission lines.

Its light curve can be approximated by adding together a number of sine waves, with periods that range between 0. 8 and 1. 5 hours.

The intervening elements react differently at different frequencies of light as they whip in and out of view, causing Alioth to have very strange spectral lines that fluctuate over a period of 5. 1 days.

As of 2012, major equipment items reported by the IISS included ten T-55 tanks ( marked as potentially unserviceable ), 5 AMX-13 light tanks, 34 reconnaissance vehicles, 10 BMP-1 / 2 armoured infantry fighting vehicles, 41 wheeled APCs, and 36 + artillery pieces.

Extra light ( or ' lite '): 12 – 12. 5 % fat.

Computer generated light diffraction pattern from a circular aperture of diameter 0. 5 micrometre at a wavelength of 0. 6 micrometre ( red-light ) at distances of 0. 1 cm – 1 cm in steps of 0. 1 cm.

On September 22, 2011, a paper from the OPERA Collaboration indicated detection of 17 and 28 GeV muon neutrinos, sent 730 kilometers ( 454 miles ) from CERN near Geneva, Switzerland to the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, traveling faster than light by a factor of 2. 48 × 10 < sup >− 5 </ sup > ( approximately 1 in 40, 000 ), a statistic with 6. 0-sigma significance.

A machine gun is a fully automatic emplaceable weapon, most often separated from other classes of automatic weapon by the use of belt-fed ammunition ( though some designs employ drum, pan or hopper magazines ), generally in a rifle-inspired caliber ranging between 5. 56 × 45mm NATO (. 223 Remington ) for a light machine gun to as large as. 50 BMG or even more larger for crewed or aircraft weapons.

The significant recoil of the M14 when fired in full-automatic mode was seen as a problem as it reduced accuracy, and in the 1960s it was replaced by Eugene Stoner's AR-15, which also marked a switch from the powerful. 30 caliber cartridges used by the U. S. military up until early in the Vietnam War to the much less powerful but far lighter and light recoiling. 223 caliber ( 5. 56mm ) intermediate cartridge.

UV light creates electron-hole pairs, with the holes reacting with lattice oxygen, creating surface oxygen vacancies, while the electrons reduce V < sup > 5 +</ sup > to V < sup > 3 +</ sup >.

Accelerating one ton to one-tenth of the speed of light requires at least 450 PJ or 4. 5 J or 125 billion kWh, not accounting for losses.

Later, the Gospel relates that Jesus regarded John as " a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light " ( John 5: 35 ).

It is relatively soft with Mohs hardness of 2. 5 to 3 and light with a specific gravity of 1. 91.

However, CCFLs are less energy efficient then LEDs and require a somewhat costly inverter to convert whatever voltage the device uses ( usually 5 or 12v ) to the high voltage needed to light a CCFL.

The index of refraction of most fibre optic cables is about 1. 5, meaning that light travels about 1. 5 times faster in a vacuum than it does in the cable.

Also attached is a fiber optic cable system connected to a ' cold ' light source ( halogen or xenon ), to illuminate the operative field, inserted through a 5 mm or 10 mm cannula or trocar to view the operative field.

For uranium-235 ( total mean fission energy 202. 5 MeV ), typically ~ 169 MeV appears as the kinetic energy of the daughter nuclei, which fly apart at about 3 % of the speed of light, due to Coulomb repulsion.

The 8. 8 MeV / 202. 5 MeV = 4. 3 % of the energy which is released as antineutrinos is not captured by the reactor material as heat, and escapes directly through all materials ( including the Earth ) at nearly the speed of light, and into interplanetary space ( the amount absorbed is miniscule ).

Commonly used moderators include regular ( light ) water ( 74. 8 % of the world's reactors ), solid graphite ( 20 % of reactors ) and heavy water ( 5 % of reactors ).

Assume the Earth is in L, at the second quadrature with Jupiter ( i. e. ALB is 90 °), and Io emerges from D. After several orbits of Io, at 42. 5 hours per orbit, the Earth is in K. Rømer reasoned that if light is not propagated instantaneously, the additional time it takes to reach K, that he reckoned about 3½ minutes, would explain the observed delay.

The redshift also affects light from distant stars and quasars, but the diminution is only an order of magnitude or so, since the most distant galaxies and quasars have redshifts of only around 5 to 8. 6.

The authority for the program was renewed several times until the vocational rehabilitation program was made permanent as Title 5, of the Social Security Act in 1935.

Dr. Douglass was kind enough to lend us about 5 grams of his material.

No detectable reaction was found at room temperature for reaction mixtures allowed to stand up to 5 hours.

A satisfactory cloud was produced even though these nozzles were only about 5 per cent efficient in producing an initial cloud in the size range of 1 to 5 microns.

The small amount of insoluble material which precipitated during dialysis was suspended in approximately 5 ml of starting buffer, centrifuged, resuspended in 2.5 ml of isotonic saline and tested for antibody activity.

It seems clear, from the counter-balanced shape of the series of arrows in Figure 5 that there was about an equal number of early and late Onsets and Completions for the 34 girls.

This illusion was described in a far-sighted editorial in The New York Herald Tribune, on March 5, 1947, in connection with the submission of the satellite peace treaties to the Senate.

King Muhammad 5, was known to be most sympathetic to the formation of local self-government and made the first firm promise of elections on May Day, 1957.

The judge became ill just as the Colfax District Court convened, no substitute was brought in, no criminal cases heard, only 5 out of 122 cases docketed were tried, and court adjourned sine die after sitting a few days instead of the usual three weeks.

The power was off for about five minutes in houses along Smith Street as far away as Fruit Hill Avenue shortly before 5 p.m. when the accident occurred.

As a result, it is not easy to find a stock priced as the Morton issue was priced ( at roughly 10 times 1960 earnings, to yield a little over 5 per cent on the 64-cent anticipated dividend ).

Such an analysis speedily reveals why the middle number of the Lo Shu, 5, was so vitally significant for the Chinese ever since the earliest hints that they had a knowledge of this diagram.

The cost of guest tickets for that night's ceremony was $ 5.

Both the BIH scale and A. 1 was defined by an epoch at the beginning of 1958: it was set to read Julian Date 2436204. 5 ( 1 January 1958 00: 00: 00 ) at the corresponding UT2 instant.

The vowels are significant in the Greek language, and the syllabical Linear B script which was used by the Mycenaean Greeks from the 16th century BC had 87 symbols including 5 vowels.

The proprotion of children below the age of 15 in 2010 was 46. 6 %, 50. 9 % was between 15 and 65 years of age, while 2. 5 % was 65 years or older

He was named Adjutant General as a colonel in the Republic of Texas Army on August 5, 1836.

Johnston's army was finally in position within a mile or two of Grant's force, and undetected, by the evening of April 5, 1862.

First plutonium-239 nitrate (< sup > 239 </ sup > PuNO < sub > 3 </ sub >) solution was coated on a platinum foil of about 0. 5 cm < sup > 2 </ sup > area, the solution was evaporated and the residue was converted into plutonium dioxide ( PuO < sub > 2 </ sub >) by annealing.
