He admits that " a large fraction his audience seems to be those who are fascinated by technology ", but when it was suggested that his work " has inspired many students to begin careers in computing and artificial intelligence " he replied that he was pleased about that, but that he himself has " no interest in computers.

This is why a police whistle, a form of flute, is very wide for its pitch, and why a pipe organ can be far louder than a concert flute: a large organ pipe can contain several cubic feet of air, and its tone hole may be several inches wide, while a concert flute's air stream measures a fraction of an inch across.

For example, a large fraction of American houses use wood, while most British and many European houses utilize stone or brick.

In case a denominator and numerator remain that are too large to ensure they are coprime by inspection, a greatest common divisor computation is needed anyway to ensure the fraction is actually irreducible.

Crutzen and Birks showed that smoke injected into the atmosphere by fires in cities, forests and petroleum reserves could prevent up to 99 % of sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, with major climatic consequences: " The normal dynamic and temperature structure of the atmosphere would therefore change considerably over a large fraction of the Northern Hemisphere, which will probably lead to important changes in land surface temperatures and wind systems.

All clusters thus suffer significant infant weight loss, while a large fraction undergo infant mortality.

Molecular oxygen was not present as a significant fraction of Earth's atmosphere until after photosynthetic life forms evolved and began to produce it in large quantities as a byproduct of their metabolism.

That number, if accurate, would likely represent a large fraction of the entire population at the time.

Studies of production computer systems have consistently shown that a large fraction of all user-chosen passwords are readily guessed automatically.

Several dozen nearby large galaxies, with no sign of a quasar nucleus, have been shown to contain a similar central black hole in their nuclei, so it is thought that all large galaxies have one, but only a small fraction emit powerful radiation and so are seen as quasars.

Put simply, a quasispecies is a large group or cloud of related genotypes that exist in an environment of high mutation rate, where a large fraction of offspring are expected to contain one or more mutations relative to the parent.

In some forms of CMT, mutated MFN2 causes the mitochondria to form large clusters, or clots, which are unable to travel down the axon towards the synapses.

If the net excitation received by a neuron over a short period of time is large enough, the neuron generates a brief pulse called an action potential, which originates at the soma and propagates rapidly along the axon, activating synapses onto other neurons as it goes.

This is meant to represent a large population of synapses and neurons.

These stimuli are conveyed from upper motor neurons through the ventral horn of the spinal cord, and across synapses to be received by the sensory receptors of alpha motor neurons ( large lower motor neurons ) of the brainstem and spinal cord.

Because of the speed of transmission, electrical synapses are found in escape mechanisms and other processes that require quick responses, such as the response to danger of the sea hare Aplysia, which quickly releases large quantities of ink to obscure enemies ' vision.

The brain contains large collections of neurons reciprocally connected by excitatory synapses, thus forming large network of elements with positive feedback.

For example, during lactation there are large changes in the size and shape of the oxytocin neurons, in the numbers and types of synapses that these neurons receive, and in the structural relationships between neurons and glial cells in the nucleus.

Each ganglia contains the body of one Motor Giant Neurons ( MoG ), powerful and large bodied motor neurons whose projections innervate the five Fast Flexor ( FF ) muscles found in a segment and interact with them through chemical synapses.

The LGI ’ s large diameter and the efficiency and speed of electrical synapses, make the LGI mediated escape especially rapid and effective.

Changes in Wnt signaling mimic in adult mice the effects of environmental enrichment upon synapses in the hippocampus with regard to reversible increase in their numbers, and spine plus synapse densities at large mossy fiber terminals It seems that Wnt signaling might be part of the means by which experience regulates synapse numbers and hippocampal network structure.

Additionally, given the relatively simple neural arrangement of the eye ( small number of synapses between detector and effector ) as well as the extremely large diameter of some ocellar interneurons ( often the largest diameter neurons in the animal's nervous system ) the ocelli are typically considered to be " faster " than the compound eyes.

Neurites could be directed toward each other over large distances and allowed to form synapses.

The study of inhibitory transmission is limited in the pyramidal neurons and their modulators because the large number of excitatory synapses has overshadowed physiological studies of the inhibitory neurons.

There are certainly large areas of understanding in the human sciences which in themselves and even without political invention can help to dispel our present fears.

I think that we are here also talking of the kind of fear that a young boy has for a group of boys who are approaching at night along the streets of a large city.

Our most elemental and unavoidable impressions, he says, are those of being involved in a large arena of powers which have a longer past than our own, which are interrelated in a vast movement through the present toward the future.

The completeness of the connections provide that, for N people, there are Af lines of communication between the pairs, which can become a large number ( 1,225 ) for a party of fifty guests.

Second, our military missile program, going forward so successfully, does not suffer from our present lack of very large rocket engines, which are necessary in distant space exploration.

In this essay, we are, along with most historians, interested in the more general or more inclusive ideas, that are so to speak `` writ large '' in history of literature where they recur continually.

By a combination of music, lighting effects, and narration, famous events that have transpired in these locations are evoked and re-created for large audiences usually to considerable acclaim.

And they have done this on a very large scale, with a veritable flood of novels and stories which are either dystopias or narratives of adventure with dystopian elements.

If we are to believe the list of titles printed in Malraux's latest book, La Metamorphose Des Dieux, Vol. 1 ( ( 1957 ), he is still engaged in writing a large novel under his original title.

For that is the one an increasingly large number of prominent Americans are now proposing.

The District Courts, in the framing of equitable decrees, are clothed ' with large discretion to model their judgements to fit the exigencies of the particular case.

Rather, such assignments are made, as they must be, on the basis of certain overall rules and standards, representing to some extent a statistical approach to the problem, taking into account for each situation some of the variables ( e.g., power and station separations ) and averaging out others in order to achieve the balance which must be struck between protection against destructive interference and the assignment of a number of stations large enough to afford optimum radio service to the Nation.

Some 45 frequencies are assigned for use primarily by dominant Class 1, -- A or Class 1, -- B clear-channel stations, designed to operate with adequate power and to provide service -- both groundwave and ( at night ) skywave -- over large areas and at great distances, being protected against interference to the degree necessary to achieve this objective.

During nighttime hours, because of the intense skywave propagation then prevailing, no large number of stations can be permitted to operate on one of these channels, if the wide area service for which these frequencies are assigned is to be rendered satisfactorily by the dominant stations which must be relied upon to render it.

Such additional daytime class 2, assignments are appropriate if optimum use is to be made of these frequencies, and the Commission has over the years made a large number of them.

And, besides, there are a large number of scholars, artists, composers of music, novelists, poets, essayists, choreographers, lawyers, servants of government, and men of affairs -- hundreds, indeed -- who serve the Foundation well with the advice they give us freely and gratis out of their experience.

Between that year and the buying out of Mr. Darling's interest in 1892, a large portion of the company's precision tool business was carried out under the name of Darling, Brown & Sharpe, and to this day many old precision tools are in use still bearing that famous trademark.
