This project was started at a time when there was a critical need for a high-energy fuel to provide an extra margin of range for high performance aircraft, particularly our heavy bombers.

The greater the range of freedom for individual men, the greater the range of choice ; ;

They range from an eight-foot pram, which you can build yourself for less than $50, to auxiliary sailboats which can cost over $100,000.

The outboard engine of today has a phenomenal range of one to 80 horsepower, unheard of a few years ago for a two cycle engine in quantity production.

Terms range from one to five years and the interest rates and down payments run about the same as for automobiles.

it's a short, light, quick-handling, fast-firing little timber gun designed to push a heavy slug at modest velocity but with lots of killing power and ample range for our most popular big game -- whitetail.

You'll foil them in droves, along with their pal humidity, by having and using a kitchen range exhaust fan, a bathroom ventilator for when you shower, and an outside vent for the clothes drier.

In the majority of countries, however, the rates range from $3.00 to $3.50 a day for the smaller sedans and graduate up to $7.00 and $8.00 a day for the larger, luxury European models, with the rate per kilometer driven starting at $.03 and going up as high as $.12.

At the top of Figure 5, for example, the Onset range and Completion range lines for the chosen growth center have been drawn for girls according to their mean and standard deviation values in Table 1.

It is clear that each vector in the range of Af is in Af for if **ya is in the range of Af, then Af and so Af because Af is divisible by the minimal polynomial P.

In addition to radar and lightning detection, observations and extended radar pictures ( such as NEXRAD ) are now available through satellite data connections, allowing pilots to see weather conditions far beyond the range of their own in-flight systems.

A calibration curve plot showing Detection limit | limit of detection ( LOD ), Detection limit | limit of quantification ( LOQ ), dynamic range, and limit of linearity ( LOL ).

If the concentration of element or compound in a sample is too high for the detection range of the technique, it can simply be diluted in a pure solvent.

Detection limits for this technique are in the parts-per-billion range making it an excellent mercury detection atomization method.

In addition to take advantage of modern sonars with a much larger detection range.

Even if this process is more complex than analog processing and has a discrete value range, the application of computational power to digital signal processing allows for many advantages over analog processing in many applications, such as error detection and correction in transmission as well as data compression.

Additional filtering and pulse integration modifies the radar equation slightly for pulse-Doppler radar performance, which can be used to increase detection range and reduce transmit power.

This feature is useful if target detection over a wide range of angles is more important than target location in three dimensions.

ESM collection platforms can remain electronically silent and detect and analyze RADAR transmissions beyond the RADAR detection range because of the greater power of the transmitted electromagnetic pulse with respect to a reflected echo of that pulse.

By introducing several MeCAT labels to a biomolecule and further optimization of LC-ICP-MS detection limits in the zeptomol range are within the realm of possibility.

The size of the submarine and its hull composition determine the detection range.

The Stealth Bomber has the capacity to carry a large number of stealthy cruise missiles, which could be nuclear tipped, and due to its low probability of detection and long range would be an excellent weapon with which to deliver a first strike.

Weather radars are high resolution velocity radars, while air defense radars have a large range of velocity detection, but the accuracy in velocity is in the 10's of knots.

As alpha particles generally have a range of only 25 mm to 50 mm in air, the detection window should be as close as possible to the source of radiation, and the window should ideally have a density as low as 1. 5 to 2. 0 mg / cm < sup > 2 </ sup > to give an acceptable level of detection efficiency.

Following work on the use of argon ion lasers for fingerprint detection, a wide range of fluorescence techniques have been introduced, primarily for the enhancement of chemically-developed fingerprints ; the inherent fluorescence of some latent fingerprints may also be detected.

The visual and acoustic detection had a short range and would not give interceptor enough time to climb to altitude before the bombers were already on their targets.

Essentially a mobile laboratory, these units can attend a wide range of incidents, including chemical spills and fires, where early on-site scientific analysis and monitoring will speed up the detection process and allow firefighters and other emergency services to provide the correct response for the particular incident.

Long range missiles depend on long-range detection to provide significant lead.

A few third-party EGA clones ( notably the ATI Technologies and Paradise boards ) feature a range of extended graphics modes ( e. g., 640 × 400, 640 × 480 and 720 × 540 ), as well as automatic monitor type detection, and sometimes also a special 400-line interlace mode for use on CGA monitors.
