conduct engineering research and technical development work to determine, by laboratory and pilot plant testing, the results of the research and studies aforesaid in order to develop processes and plant designs to the point where they can be demonstrated on a large and practical scale ; ;

May I add a caution on this particular point??

The extent of such interference -- which may be so slight as to be undetectable at any point where either of the stations renders a usable signal, or may be so great as to virtually destroy the service areas of both stations -- depends on many factors, among the principal ones being the distance between the stations, their respective radiated power, and, of particular significance here, the time of day.

By this standard, it is determined that where two stations operating on the same frequency are involved, objectionable interference from station A exists at any point within the service area of station B where station A's signal is of an intensity one-twentieth or more of the strength of station B's signal at that point.

The president who appoints strong men who have an all-college or university point of view and a talent and respect for administration can count on useful assistance.

The 45th Parallel ( the halfway point between the North Pole and the Equator ) passes through Salem's city limits.

( Note that the term " equinox " here refers to a point on the celestial sphere so defined, rather than the moment in time when the Sun is overhead at the Equator, though the two meanings are related.

Guidelines issued by Guinness World Records in March 2007 state that a human powered circumnavigation must travel a minimum of 36, 787. 559 km ( the distance of the Tropic of Cancer ), cross the Equator, and each leg must commence at the exact point where the last finished off.

As it passes each point the intensity of the beam is varied, varying the luminance of that point.

In its course from Lake Victoria to Juba in southern Sudan, the White Nile's channel drops more than 600 m. In its 1, 600-km course from Juba to Khartoum, Sudan's capital, the river descends just 75 m. In southern and central Sudan, the White Nile passes through a wide, flat plain covered with swamp vegetation and slows almost to the point of stagnation.

" Similarly, the Catholic Encyclopedia says, " the subjects treated of in the Epistle are many and various ; moreover, St. James not infrequently, whilst elucidating a certain point, passes abruptly to another, and presently resumes once more his former argument.

A double cone consists of two cones stacked point-to-point and sharing the same axis of rotation ; it may be generated by rotating a line about an axis that passes through a point of the line.

The latitude of a point on the actual surface is that of the corresponding point on the reference surface, the correspondence being along the normal to the reference surface which passes through the point on the physical surface.

In the 1982 Big Game between Stanford and California, with four seconds left and trailing by one point, Cal ran the ball back on a kickoff all the way for the game-winning touchdown using five backward passes, eventually running through the Stanford Band, who had already taken the field ( believing the game was over after Stanford players appeared to have tackled a Cal ball-carrier ).

With time winding down the Saints threw backward passes and brought the ball down the length of the field for a touchdown, but kicker John Carney missed the extra point, which would have tied the game, so the Saints lost by one point, 20 – 19.

Spherical mechanisms are constructed by connecting links with hinged joints such that the axes of each hinge passes through the same point.

then there is a point ( 0, f )— the focus, F — such that any point P on the parabola will be equidistant from both the focus and the linear directrix, L. The linear directrix is a line perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the parabola ( in this case parallel to the x axis ) and passes through the point ( 0 ,- f ).

Thus the expression " point P is incident with line l " is used instead of either " P is on l " or " l passes through P ".

For example, while adding to realism, in order to build a certain skill or reach a certain point of time, the player has to repeat for countless times some certain action ( such as ' climb tree ', ' get rock '-' throw rock '), or walk aimlessly until the time passes.

In mathematics, a spherical coordinate system is a coordinate system for three-dimensional space where the position of a point is specified by three numbers: the radial distance of that point from a fixed origin, its polar angle measured from a fixed zenith direction, and the azimuth angle of its orthogonal projection on a reference plane that passes through the origin and is orthogonal to the zenith, measured from a fixed reference direction on that plane.
