For English, this is partly because the Great Vowel Shift occurred after the orthography was established, and because English has acquired a large number of loanwords at different times, retaining their original spelling at varying levels.

Atoms having the same atomic number Z but different neutron number N, and hence different atomic mass, are known as isotopes.

Isotopes were then explained as elements with the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons within the nucleus.

Each orbital is defined by a different set of quantum numbers ( n, l, and m ), and contains a maximum of two electrons each with their own spin quantum number.

Alpha decay is by far the most common form of cluster decay where the parent atom ejects a defined daughter collection of nucleons, leaving another defined product behind ( in nuclear fission, a number of different pairs of daughters of approximately equal size are formed ).

It is improbable, however, that the production of amber was limited to a single species ; and indeed a large number of conifers belonging to different genera are represented in the amber-flora.

Supporting literature includes: the work of social impact theory, which discusses persuasion in part through the number of persons engaging in influence ; as well as studies made on the relative influence of communicator credibility in different kinds of persuasion ; and examinations of the trustworthiness of the speaker.

A small number of words have completely different meanings in the two dialects or are even unknown or not used in one of the dialects.

Each node dynamically chose its own node number, according to a protocol ( originally the LocalTalk Link Access Protocol LLAP and later the AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol, AARP ) which handled contention between different nodes accidentally choosing the same number.

A zone was a subdivision of the network that made sense to humans ( for example, " Accounting Department "); but while a network number had to be assigned to a topologically-contiguous section of the network, a zone could include several different discontiguous portions of the network.

P estimated in this way can then be used in Amdahl's law to predict speedup for a different number of processors.

The brew, first described academically in the early 1950s by Harvard ethnobotanist Richard Evans Schultes, who found it employed for divinatory and healing purposes by the native peoples of Amazonian Colombia, is known by a number of different names ( see below ).

The recent developments of computer automation and information technologies have innervated analytical chemistry to initiate a number of new biological fields.

The use of aerodynamics through mathematical analysis, empirical approximations, wind tunnel experimentation, and computer simulations form the scientific basis for heavier-than-air flight and a number of other technologies.

The development of new technologies has made it dramatically easier and cheaper to do sequencing, and the number of complete genome sequences is growing rapidly.

GIS is a relatively broad term, that can refer to a number of technologies and processes, so it is attached to many operations, in engineering, planning, management, transport / logistics and analysis.

See the spacecraft propulsion article for a discussion of a number of other technologies that could, in the medium to longer term, be the basis of interplanetary missions.

In Japan, the number of ISDN subscribers dwindled as alternative technologies such as ADSL, cable Internet access, and fiber to the home gained greater popularity.

After initiating the pioneering ARPANET in 1969, DARPA started work on a number of other data transmission technologies.

This encompasses a wide range of technologies addressing a number of different motivations.

Despite being modest in number ( perhaps 7, 000 units total as of 1988 ), Lisp machines commercially pioneered many now-commonplace technologies – including effective garbage collection, laser printing, windowing systems, computer mice, high-resolution bit-mapped graphics, computer graphic rendering, and networking innovations like CHAOSNet.

In addition to these commercially well-established techniques, a large number of promising microlithographic and nanolithographic technologies exist or are being developed, including nanoimprint lithography, interference lithography, X-ray lithography, extreme ultraviolet lithography, magnetolithography and scanning probe lithography.

The film industry is built upon a large number of technologies and techniques, drawing upon photography, stagecraft, music, and many other disciplines.

In 2004 a new phenomenon occurred when a number of technologies combined to produce podcasting.

( For example, MPEG-A includes a number of technologies on multimedia application format.

Today, MPEG-1 has become the most widely compatible lossy audio / video format in the world, and is used in a large number of products and technologies.

Despite the advent of file-sharing technologies such as BitTorrent, as well as the increased use of blogs, formal discussion forums, and social networking sites, coupled with a growing number of service providers blocking access to Usenet ( see main article ), newsgroups continue to be widely used.

James Sheptycki has analyzed the effects of the new information technologies on the organization of policing-intelligence and suggests that a number of ‘ organizational pathologies ’ have arisen that make the functioning of security-intelligence processes in transnational policing deeply problematic.

There were a number of technologies for this task, but most shared the property that the glyphs were physically difficult to change, as they were stamped onto typewriter keys, bands of metal, or optical plates.

A number of attempts for layer 2 technologies that add QoS tags to the data have gained popularity during the years, but then lost attention.

Increasing consumer demand for streaming of high definition ( HD ) content has led the industry to develop a number of technologies such as WirelessHD or ITU-T G. hn, which are optimized for streaming HD content without forcing the user to install new networking cables.

In some cases this number is reported as equal to the channel capacity, though this can be deceptive, as only non-packetized systems ( asynchronous ) technologies can achieve this without data compression.

He would return to Disney in 1940 and go on to pioneer a number of film processes and specialized animation technologies in the studio's research and development department.

This becomes a problem when trying to lay out text ; because older output technologies require the spacing between characters to be a whole number of pixels, rounding errors will cause the same text to require different amounts of space in different resolutions.
