Fashion a sharp scribing point about 3/64'' '' long on one end, using Swiss pattern files.

There is however no point in speculating about such a possibility: the fact of the matter is that our institutions of higher learning owe their existence to a spirit not unlike that which produces the `` family business ''.

So you look down there and you see a tiny, whirling point about the size of the head of a pin.

`` I don't think I've reached the point, yet, where I can say I know everything I ought to know about the craft.

In the spring of 1863, Lincoln was optimistic about upcoming campaigns to the point of thinking the end of the war could be near if a string of victories could be put together ; these plans included Hooker's attack on Lee north of Richmond, Rosecrans ' on Chattanooga, Grant's on Vicksburg, and a naval assault on Charleston.

In fact, because of atmospheric refraction and because the sun appears as a disk and not a point, part of the midnight sun may be seen on the night of the northern summer solstice up to about 50 ′ () south of the Arctic Circle ; similarly, on the day of the northern winter solstice, part of the sun may be seen up to about 50 ′ north of the Arctic Circle.

Christie made a point of having Poirot supply false or misleading information about himself or his background in order to assist him in obtaining information relevant to a particular case.

Following transposition and docking, the crew noticed the exterior surface of the Lunar Module was giving off particles from a spot where the LM's skin appeared torn or shredded ; at one point, Charlie Duke estimated they were seeing about five to ten particles per second.

Young drove the rover to a point about east of the Lunar Module, known as the ' VIP site ', so its television camera, controlled remotely by mission control, could observe Apollo 16's liftoff from the Moon.

In the 2008 book The Star-Spangled Banner: The Making of an American Icon, Smithsonian experts point out that accounts of the event appealed to Americans eager for stories about the revolution and its heroes and heroines.

Also, as in the previous war, Pike came into conflict with his superior officers, at one point drafting a letter to Jefferson Davis complaining about his direct superior.

The course of the rays in the meridional section is no longer symmetrical to the principal ray of the pencil ; and on an intercepting plane there appears, instead of a luminous point, a patch of light, not symmetrical about a point, and often exhibiting a resemblance to a comet having its tail directed towards or away from the axis.

The Catholic Encyclopaedia make the point that the oath and the penalties were so severe that it stopped the efforts of the Gallicanizing party among the English Catholics, who had been ready to offer forms of submission similar to the old oath of Allegiance, which was condemned anew about this time by Pope Innocent X.

If a system consists of several particles, the total angular momentum about a point can be obtained by adding ( or integrating ) all the angular momenta of the constituent particles.

If the net force on some body is directed always toward some fixed point, the center, then there is no torque on the body with respect to the center, and so the angular momentum of the body about the center is constant.

Angular momenta of a classical object .< p > Left: intrinsic " spin " angular momentum S is really orbital angular momentum of the object at every point ,</ p >< p > right: extrinsic orbital angular momentum L about an axis ,</ p >< p > top: the moment of inertia tensor | moment of inertia tensor I and angular velocity ω ( L is not always parallel to ω )</ p >< p > bottom: momentum p and it's radial position r from the axis .</ p > The total angular momentum ( spin + orbital ) is J.

the physical property values include hardness, melting point, and specific gravity.

Yet from the dentist's point of view, bad-fitting teeth should be corrected for physical reasons.

" The black race of Africa are inferior to the white man in point of intellect – better calculated in physical structure to undergo drudgery and hardship – standing, as they do, many degrees lower in the scale of gradation that expresses the relative relation between God and all that he has created than the white man.

Another way of making the point is that if the Platonic world were to disappear, it would make no difference to the ability of mathematicians to generate proofs, etc., which is already fully accountable in terms of physical processes in their brains.

From a philosophical point of view, what makes the brain special in comparison to other organs is that it forms the physical structure that generates the mind.

New physical detection technologies are employed, such as oligonucleotide microarrays to identify chromosomal gains and losses ( called comparative genomic hybridization ), and single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays to detect known point mutations.

Amateur boxing has a point scoring system that measures the number of clean blows landed rather than physical damage.

::" We have no idea how consciousness emerges from the physical activity of the brain and we do not know whether consciousness can emerge from non-biological systems, such as computers ... At this point the reader will expect to find a careful and precise definition of consciousness.

E. T. Jaynes, from a Bayesian point of view, pointed out probability is a measure of a human's information about the physical world.

In physical terms, a supersonic shock wave initiates from the point of contact.

Now, due to physical properties of interference, if two signals at a point are in phase, they add to give twice the amplitude of each signal, but if they are out of phase, they subtract and give a signal that is the difference of the amplitudes.

This can continue to the point of complete breakdown of normal resistance at a semiconductor junction, and failure of the device ( this may be temporary or permanent depending on whether there is physical damage to the crystal ).

In physical terms, the divergence of a three dimensional vector field is the extent to which the vector field flow behaves like a source or a sink at a given point.

A physical dipole consists of two equal and opposite point charges: in the literal sense, two poles.

In its mathematical form it is analogous to the description of a physical wave, but its " crests " and " troughs " indicate levels of probability for the occurrence of certain phenomena ( e. g., a spark of light at a certain point on a detector screen ) that can be observed in the macro world of ordinary human experience.

The field lines are the paths that a point positive charge would seek to make as it was forced to move within the field ; they are however an imaginary concept with no physical existence, and the field permeates all the intervening space between the lines.

Their flexibility and low polarity is manifested in their physical properties ; they tend to be less rigid ( lower melting point ) and more volatile ( lower boiling point ) than the corresponding amides.

The fourth is freedom from fear — which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor — anywhere in the world.

For mathematical purposes, elementary particles are normally treated as point particles, although some particle theories such as string theory posit a physical dimension.

Because geodetic point coordinates ( and heights ) are always obtained in a system that has been constructed itself using real observations, geodesists introduce the concept of a geodetic datum: a physical realization of a coordinate system used for describing point locations.

Because of the weak, induced dipole-dipole interaction between helium atoms, their macroscopic physical properties are mainly determined by their zero point energy (" ground state kinetic energy ").

Additionally, his condemnation of Blaesilla's hedonistic lifestyle in Rome had led her to adopt aescetic practices, but it affected her health and worsened her physical weakness to the point that she died just four months after starting to follow his instructions ; much of the Roman populace were outraged at Jerome for causing the premature death of such a lively young woman, and his insistence to Paula that Blaesilla should not be mourned, and complaints that her grief was excessive, were seen as heartless, polarising Roman opinion against him.

When Jean absorbs Psylocke's specialized telepathic powers, her own telepathy is increased to the point that she can physically manifest her telepathy as a psionic firebird whose claws can inflict both physical and mental damage.
