The difference is mostly in the era and styles covered -- Easy Listening is mostly older music done in the style of standards from the early 20th century ( typical artists include Johnny Mathis and Frank Sinatra ) combined with Big Band music and more modern performers in the same style such as Céline Dion and Josh Groban, while Adult Contemporary focuses more on newer pop music from the 1970s on.

The 1907 British Pharmaceutical Codex's instructions for making nutritional extract of malt do not include a mash-out at the end of extraction, and include the use of lower mash temperatures than is typical with modern beer-brewing practices.

Adams / Barber / Copland / Glass ).

) Stylus forces of 10 to 20 mN ( 1 to 2 grams-force ) are typical for modern consumer turntables, while forces of up to 50 mN ( 5 grams ) are common for the tougher environmental demands of party deejaying or turntablism.

The Siege of Khe Sanh displays typical features of modern sieges, as the defender has greater capacity to withstand the siege, the attacker's main aim is to bottle operational forces or create a strategic distraction, rather than take the siege to a conclusion.

Cotton can also be cultivated to have colors other than the yellowish off-white typical of modern commercial cotton fibers.

During one 30-year period within the Maunder Minimum, astronomers observed only about 50 sunspots, as opposed to a more typical 40, 000 – 50, 000 spots in modern times.

The application of acoustics can be seen in almost all aspects of modern society with the most obvious being the audio and noise control industries.

His application of reference lines, a diameter and a tangent is essentially no different than our modern use of a coordinate frame, where the distances measured along the diameter from the point of tangency are the abscissas, and the segments parallel to the tangent and intercepted between the axis and the curve are the ordinates.

A characteristic application is to the protection of ships ' bottoms, but more modern methods of cathodic protection have rendered its use less common.

Both the miniaturization and standardization of CPUs have increased the presence of digital devices in modern life far beyond the limited application of dedicated computing machines.

People who use modern general purpose computers ( as opposed to embedded systems, analog computers and supercomputers ) usually see three layers of software performing a variety of tasks: platform, application, and user software.

However, due to the absence of reinforcement, its tensile strength was far lower than modern reinforced concrete, and its mode of application was also different:

In this manner, Lewis, Randall, and Guggenheim are considered as the founders of modern chemical thermodynamics because of the major contribution of these two books in unifying the application of thermodynamics to chemistry.

Concerning interpretation of Halakha ( or Jewish law ): because of Judaism's legal tradition, the fundamental differences between modern Jewish denominations also involve the relevance, interpretation, and application of Jewish law and tradition.

Historian of science Thierry Bardini argues that Engelbart's complex personal philosophy ( which drove all his research ) foreshadowed the modern application of the concept of coevolution to the philosophy and use of technology.

Several decades after Pearson's work with early versions of meta-analysis, Glass published the first application of modern meta-analytic techniques and triggered their broad application across the social and biomedical sciences.

The following years saw graphic design in the modern style gain widespread acceptance and application.

Latin terminology is often used to describe modern languages, at times erroneously, as in the application of the term " pluperfect " to the English " past perfect ", the application of " perfect " to what in English more often than not is not " perfective ", or where the German simple and perfect pasts are called respectively " Imperfektum " and " Perfektum ", despite the fact that neither has any real relationship to the aspects implied by the use of the Latin terms.

Ivory-billed Woodpecker sighting analysis is considered by some to be a good example of cryptozoology's potential application in modern zoology.

Progressive thinkers called for a completely new architectural design process guided by rational problem-solving and an exterior expression of modern materials and structure rather than the superficial application of classical facades.

With the development of archaeology and the application of modern techniques, many previously lost cities have been rediscovered.

A modern application is the use of relatively large lenses to concentrate solar energy on relatively small photovoltaic cells, harvesting more energy without the need to use larger and more expensive cells.

In modern operating systems, normal memory used by an application is released when the application terminates.

The distinction dates to the 17th century, but its modern application is due to publications by Sun Lutang, dating to the period of 1915 to 1928.
