If a tile is placed between two hotel chains of the same size, the individual player who places the tile decides which hotel chain remains on the board and which is acquired.

Mergers yield bonuses for the two shareholders who hold, respectively, the largest and second-largest interests in a chain.

If two players tie for minority, they will share the minority shareholder bonus. Suppose Festival is the chain being acquired.

Starting with the player who caused the merger to happen, each player may either sell his shares in the acquired chain, trade in two shares of the acquired chain for one share of the acquiring chain, or hold on to his shares of the acquired chain.

Any player may declare the game over at any time during his turn if either of two conditions is true: one chain has 41 or more tiles, or there is at least one chain on the board and every chain on the board has 11 or more tiles.

Collagen is a composed of a triple helix, which generally consists of two identical chains ( α1 ) and an additional chain that differs slightly in its chemical composition ( α2 ).

The CNO cycle ( for carbon – nitrogen – oxygen ) is one of two sets of fusion reactions by which stars convert hydrogen to helium, the other being the proton – proton chain.

In calculus, the chain rule is a formula for computing the derivative of the composition of two or more functions.

The chain rule can be applied to composites of more than two functions.

The chain rule says that the composite of these two linear transformations is the linear transformation, and therefore it is the function that scales a vector by f ′( g ( a )) g ′( a ).

This variant of the chain rule is not an example of a functor because the two functions being composed are of different types.

Ionization of the carbonyl oxygen is stabilized by formation of two hydrogen bonds to adjacent main chain N-hydrogens.

They can be joined together in one long linear chain, or they may be branched.

However, B must now add another line, and connects the center dot to the center-right dot, causing the remaining boxes to be joined together in a chain as shown at the end of move 8.

This continues until all the remaining ( potential ) boxes are joined together into chains – groups of one or more adjacent boxes in which any move gives all the boxes in the chain to the opponent.

The nucleotide repeats contain both the segment of the backbone of the molecule, which holds the chain together, and a nucleobase, which interacts with the other DNA strand in the helix.

Each protein chain arranges into a set of alpha-helix structural segments connected together in a globin fold arrangement, so called because this arrangement is the same folding motif used in other heme / globin proteins such as myoglobin.

Stars below about 1. 5 times the mass of the Sun ( or 1. 5 solar masses ) primarily fuse hydrogen atoms together in a series of stages to form helium, a sequence called the proton-proton chain.

Taken together, the two define a Markov chain ( MC ).

A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues.

The ribosome latches onto the end of an mRNA molecule and moves along it, capturing loaded tRNA molecules and joining together their amino acids to form a new protein chain.

Ribosomes consist of two subunits ( Figure 1 ) that fit together ( Figure 2 ) and work as one to translate the mRNA into a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis ( Figure 3 ).

* A customer focused definition is given by Hines ( 2004: p76 ) " Supply chain strategies require a total systems view of the linkages in the chain that work together efficiently to create customer satisfaction at the end point of delivery to the consumer.

This law requires SEC-regulated companies to conduct third party audits of the company supply chains, determine whether any tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold ( together referred to as conflict minerals ) is made of ore mined / sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo ( DRC ), and create a report ( available to the general public and SEC ) detailing the supply chain due diligence efforts undertaken and the results of the audit.

Cray referred to this concept as chaining, as it allowed programmers to " chain together " several instructions and extract higher performance.

He writes that it was: "... composed of twenty three boats, of great excellence and strength attached together by a long chain of iron as thick as a man's thigh, and this was moored on each side to an iron post as thick as a man's waist extending a distance of ten cubits on the land and planted firmly in the ground, the boats being fastened to this chain by means of big hooks.
