Other color encoding systems had already been proposed which would overcome the tint problems of NTSC using such a delay line, but PAL was unique in that an economy receiver ( known as " PAL-S " for " simple PAL ") could also be built without using a delay line, with a performance no worse than, and in most cases better than, an equivalent NTSC model.

Dipropylene glycol tertiary butyl ether ( DPTB ) has a flashpoint far above current industry standards, yet at the same time possesses a degree of solvency for water-soluble stains that is at least equivalent to, and in most cases better than, perc and the other glycol ether dry cleaning solvents presently in commercial use.

For example, Concorde cruised at Mach 2. 05 with its engines giving an SFC of 1. 195 lb /( lbf · h ) ( see below ); this is equivalent to an SFC of 0. 51 lb /( lbf · h ) for an aircraft flying at Mach 0. 85, which would be better than even modern engines, it was the world's most efficient jet engine.

Turbulent boundary layers tend to be able to sustain an adverse pressure gradient better than an equivalent laminar boundary layer.

This is not the only way probabilistic statements are used in ordinary human language: when people say that " it will probably rain ", they typically do not mean that the outcome of rain versus not-rain is a random factor that the odds currently favor ; instead, such statements are perhaps better understood as qualifying their expectation of rain with a degree of confidence.

Despite the small difference in equations for the standard deviation and the standard error, this small difference changes the meaning of what is being reported from a description of the variation in measurements to a probabilistic statement about how the number of samples will provide a better bound on estimates of the population mean, in light of the central limit theorem.

It generally resonates better with existing Muslim views than with Christianity: it foretells the coming of Muhammad by name ; rather than describing the crucifixion of Jesus, it describes him being raised up into heaven, similar to the description of Elijah in 2 Kings, Chapter 2 ; and it calls Jesus a " prophet " whose mission was restricted to the " house of Israel ".
