The features in the tone tier are high pitch and low pitch, and they are assigned to the tone-bearing units of the language ( syllables or moras ).

This serves to lower pitch so the low bars are not excessively long, and is key to the " mellow " sound of the vibraphone ( and marimba, which uses the same deep arch ) compared with the xylophone, which uses a shallower arch, and the glockenspiel, which has no arch at all.

If the pitch was so low as to touch the ground, or so high that the catcher has to rise out of his crouched position to get to it, or so wide that the catcher has to lunge for it, it is usually then considered a wild pitch and not a passed ball.

The radiator was mounted at the left side of the car so that the engine-mounted fan could be retained, but with reversed pitch so that it blew air into the natural low pressure area under the front wing.

Tape speed could vary between devices, resulting in pitch that was too low or too high.

Frequencies this low still activate the organ of Corti to some extent, but are too low to elicit the perception of a pitch.

In contrast with other continents, it is marked by the comparatively small area of either very high or very low ground, lands under occupying an unusually small part of the surface ; while not only are the highest elevations inferior to those of Asia or South America, but the area of land over is also quite insignificant, being represented almost entirely by individual peaks and mountain ranges.

The comparatively low price for a complete computer system with dedicated monitor, its high resolution monochrome text and graphic capabilities and the possibility to run CP / M software also rendered the system attractive for business users, which was reflected by a wide selection of application software.

In physics and optics, the Abbe number, also known as the V-number or constringence of a transparent material, is a measure of the material's dispersion ( variation of refractive index with wavelength ) in relation to the refractive index, with high values of V indicating low dispersion ( low chromatic aberration ).

Cayley also looked to nature for aerodynamic shapes with low drag.

Long-term trials have shown continued effectiveness without the development of tolerance, and, in addition, unlike benzodiazepines, it does not disrupt sleep architecture and produces less severe cognitive and psychomotor impairment ; it also has a low potential for abuse and dependence and may be preferred over the benzodiazepines for these reasons.

Being single action weapons, they needed to be cocked for each shot, so the rate of fire was also low, and while a shooter could fan his gun, this expended all his shots even faster and made him even more inaccurate than normal.

She suggests this explains the low numbers of black women who participated in the feminist movement in the 1970s, pointing to Louis Harris ' Virginia Slims poll done in 1972 for Philip Morris that she says showed 62 percent of black women supported " efforts to change women's status " and 67 percent " sympathized with the women's rights movement ", compared with 45 and 35 percent of white women ( also Steinem, 1972 ).

Bronze also has very low metal-on-metal friction, which made it invaluable for the building of cannon where iron cannonballs would otherwise stick in the barrel.

These effects are still not yet fully understood ; it is even possible that they also control superconductivity even at low temperatures for some materials.

Ballpoint pens also have difficulty writing on surfaces with low friction, such as plastics, shiny surfaces, and wet or oily surfaces.

Balsall Heath's low rents also attracted a bohemian student population.
