A lower gear for uphill climb protects the knees, even though muscles may be well able to handle a higher gear.

Double-clutching allows the driver to control the engine and transmission revolutions to synchronize, so that a smooth shift can be made ; for example, when upshifting, the accelerator pedal is released and the clutch pedal is depressed while the gear lever is moved into neutral, the clutch pedal is then released and quickly pushed down again while the gear lever is moved to the next higher gear.

From the 1850s onwards, the pace of colonization shifted to a significantly higher gear.

* Series 2: 5-speed gearbox ( Krawler gear ) and a higher output motor

" After World War II the band shifted into higher gear leaning more toward a whimsical honky-tonk feel, with a heavy, manic bottom end-the slap bass of Fred Maddox.

The phrase placing gear denotes the act of setting a piece of gear into the rock face and then attaching the rope ( via carabiner ) before ascending higher.

The higher numbers of a gear oil ( e. g., 75W-140 ) do not mean that it has higher viscosity than an engine oil.

Ratios are effectively the same ( though derived from a different tooth count ) as the M40s and followed that transmission's change to a lower ( numerically higher ) first gear beginning with the 1973 model year .+

A high gear of 50 × 11 on a compact drivechain is actually slightly higher than the 53 × 12 of a standard set.

This however is still largely dependent upon the number and optimal spacing of gear ratios for each unit, and whether or not the elimination of spooldown / accelerator lift off represent a significant enough gain to counter the slightly higher power consumption of the automatic transmission itself.

; Second gear takeoff: Some automatics, particularly those fitted to larger capacity or high torque engines, either when " 2 " is manually selected, or by engaging a winter mode, will start off in second gear instead of first, and then not shift into a higher gear until returned to " D ." Also note that as with most American automatic transmissions, selecting " 2 " using the selection lever will not tell the transmission to be in only 2nd gear ; rather, it will simply limit the transmission to 2nd gear after prolonging the duration of 1st gear through higher speeds than normal operation.

In addition to a lack of contention for the bus, the direct connection allows for higher clock speeds.

The Belgian Blue's meat cuts also have a lower collagen content, which allows the protein quality to be improved due to a higher yield of amino acids.

Since meat has a higher energy density than vegetables, and cooking it allows more nutrients to be liberated to the body, the introduction of cooked meat in the human diet reduced the energy requirements of the digestive system.

Also known as a slip clutch or safety clutch, this device allows a rotating shaft to slip when higher than normal resistance is encountered on a machine.

A high compression ratio is desirable because it allows an engine to extract more mechanical energy from a given mass of air-fuel mixture due to its higher thermal efficiency.

Direct fuel injection which can inject fuel only at the time of fuel ignition ( similar to a diesel engine ) is another recent development which also allows for higher compression ratios on gasoline engines.

* The much higher velocity of a piston when an engine is running versus cranking allows less time for pressure to bleed past the piston rings into the crankcase.

While counter weights add a considerable amount of weight to the crankshaft, it provides a smoother running engine and allows higher RPM levels to be reached.

* Releasing a CPU on the same size die, but with a smaller CPU core, keeps the cost about the same but allows higher levels of integration within one VLSI chip ( additional cache, multiple CPUs, or other components ), improving performance and reducing overall system cost.

This allows the diode to operate at signal frequencies, at the expense of a higher forward voltage drop.

The change from gut to steel has also affected the instrument's playing technique over the last hundred years, because playing with steel strings allows the strings to be set up closer to the fingerboard, and, additionally, steel strings can be played in higher positions on the lower strings and still produce clear tone.

This allows the sound engineer to use a higher overall volume for the drum kit by reducing the number of " active " mics which could feed back at any one time.

ETC increases the performance of conventional solid propellants, reduces the effect of temperature on propellant expansion and allows for more advanced, higher density propellants to be used.

ETC increases the performance of conventional solid propellants, reduces the effect of temperature on propellant expansion and allows for more advanced, higher density propellants to be used.

To deliver the desired amount of energy, the fuel cells can be combined in series and parallel circuits, where series yields higher voltage, and parallel allows a higher current to be supplied.

The new code of points allows the gymnasts to gain higher scores based on the difficulty of the skills they perform as well as their execution.

The unification of forces is possible due to the energy scale dependence of parameters in quantum field theory called renormalization group running, which allows parameters with vastly different values at collider energies to converge at much higher energy scales.

Iron's shift to a higher oxidation state in Hb-O < sub > 2 </ sub > decreases the atom's size, and allows it into the plane of the porphyrin ring, pulling on the coordinated histidine residue and initiating the allosteric changes seen in the globulins.

The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that allows a portion of the input water that powers the pump to be lifted to a point higher than where the water originally started.

Using a powdered iron core with a distributed air gap allows higher levels of magnetic flux which in turn allows a higher level of direct current through the inductor before it saturates.

One concern often expressed ( both by non-cyclists and some cyclists ) is the thought that riding in traffic exposes the cyclist to higher levels of air pollution, especially if he or she travels on or along busy roads.

Drafting, where cyclists form a line with the lead cyclist pedaling harder while reducing the wind resistance for other riders, is of much less importance than in road racing where average speeds are much higher than in cyclo-cross.

Too many people think that the primary purpose of a higher education is to help you make a living ; ;

Having hedged its bets in this way, PHS apparently decided it would be possible to make some sort of determination after all: `` At present radiation levels, and even at somewhat higher levels, the additional risk is slight and very few people will be affected ''.

Again, in deciding on the content and method of his teaching, does he favor a curriculum which will make his students stronger competitors in the race for higher economic status, or does he favor a curriculum which strengthens students in other ways??

Johnson attempted to make the most of the opportunities the position offered, using it as a springboard to higher honors, as the Governor's powers in the state were limited to offering mere suggestions on legislation ( with no veto power ), and managing the Bank of Tennessee and the penitentiary.

Informally known as " The Big Book " ( with its first 164 pages virtually unchanged since the 1939 edition ), it suggests a twelve-step program in which members admit that they are powerless over alcohol and need help from a " higher power "; seek guidance and strength through prayer and meditation from God or Higher Power of their own understanding ; take a moral inventory with care to include resentments ; list and become ready to remove character defects ; list and make amends to those harmed, and then try to help other alcoholics recover.

The fruits of the region include the Vitis labrusca grapes used in grape juice made by companies such as Welch's, along with jelly, Kosher wine by companies like Mogen David and Manischewitz along with other wineries that make higher quality wines.

It also included changes to the guidance electronics to make it effective at higher closing speeds.

On the other hand, if the real risk is higher than the regulatory risk then it is profitable to make that loan and hold on to it, provided it is priced appropriately.

The bank will have higher IT costs, but counts on the multiplier effect of money creation and the interest rate spread to make it a profitable exercise.

This is in fact incorrect, for a higher string tension can cause the shuttle to slide off the racquet and hence make it harder to hit a shot accurately.

The far aircraft is actually slightly higher than the near aircraft to make them appear in-line to the audience.

However, during the same period, a group of ambitious producers began working outside the boundaries of DOC regulations to make what they believed would be a higher quality style of Chianti.

The replacement Cinematograph Films Act 1938 provided incentives for UK companies to make fewer films of higher quality and, influenced by world politics, encouraged American investment and imports.

Later, other scientists decided to redefine the degree slightly to make the freezing point exactly 32 ° F, and the boiling point exactly 212 ° F or 180 degrees higher.

As a comparative grammarian he was much more than as a Sanskrit scholar ,” and yet “ it is surely much that he made the grammar, formerly a maze of Indian subtilty, as simple and attractive as that of Greek or Latin, introduced the study of the easier works of Sanskrit literature and trained ( personally or by his books ) pupils who could advance far higher, invade even the most intricate parts of the literature and make the Vedas intelligible.

And, unlike her first disco hits, the track was not pitched up to make it faster and to render Gaynor's recorded voice in a higher register than that in which she actually sang.

After Hattusa was made capital, the area encompassed by the bend of the Halys River ( Hittite Marassantiya, ) was considered the core of the Empire, and some Hittite laws make a distinction between " this side of the river " and " that side of the river ", for example, the reward for the capture of an eloped slave after he managed to flee beyond the Halys is higher than that for a slave caught before he could reach the river.

" The genetic difference enables highland mice to make more efficient use of their oxygen ", since less is available at higher altitudes, such as those in the mountains.

) Due to this increase in the price of lead shot, the economy of reloading 12 gauge shotshells vs. just using promotional 12 gauge shotshells only starts to make economic sense for higher volume shooters, who may shoot more than 50, 000 rounds a year.

Aircraft approaching from the north must make visual contact with the airport at a higher altitude than a flight approaching from the south, because of rapidly rising terrain south of the airport.

With partible inheritance large estates are slowly divided among many descendants and great wealth is thus diluted, leaving higher opportunities to individuals to make a success.

In particular, legacy spans are more likely to make use of higher latency regenerators.

This is an example of framing to make the process of charging some people higher prices more socially acceptable.

Its small size and higher pitch make mandolin notes decay faster than larger stringed instruments like guitar, which encourages the use of tremolo ( rapid picking of one or more pairs of strings ) to create sustained notes or chords.
