If an engine is only operated at low rpm for its early life ( e. g. in a gently driven automobile ) then abruptly used in the higher rpm range ( e. g. by a new owner ), the slight stretching of the connecting rods at high speed can enable the top compression ring to contact the wear ridge, breaking the ring.

Besides the lack of an adequate ethical dimension to the Governor's case, one can ask seriously whether our lead over the Russians in quality and quantity of nuclear weapons is so slight as to make the tests absolutely necessary.

He contends this idea doesn't conflict with experiments on which the principle of conservation of matter and energy is based because some slight error must be assumed in such experiments.

Suppose, says Dr. Lyttleton, the proton has a slightly greater charge than the electron ( so slight it is presently immeasurable ).

This is typical of the newer classifications, though there is some slight variation, and in particular the Torriceliaceae may be divided.

Although the butterfly effect may appear to be an esoteric and unlikely behavior, it is exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill may roll into any of several valleys depending on, among other things, slight differences in initial position.

Caltech is a small four-year, highly residential research university with a slight majority in graduate programs.

In his short story " Crabs on the Island " ( 1958 ) Anatoli Dneprov speculated on the idea that since the replication process is never 100 % accurate, leading to slight differences in the descendants, over several generations of replication the machines would be subjected to evolution similar to that of living organisms.

Although the isosahedral structure is extremely common among viruses because of size differences slight variations exist between virions.

The then newly introduced car damage is evident with slight damage on the player's car and pursuing police vehicle.

The horns are fairly smooth, with slight wrinkles evident at the base as the animal matures ( see photo ).

This latter approach, referred to as subpixel rendering, uses knowledge of pixel geometry to manipulate the three colored subpixels separately, producing a slight increase in the apparent resolution of color displays.

Subsequent advances in technology have introduced first anti-aliasing, which smooths the edges of fonts at the expense of a slight blurring, and more recently subpixel rendering ( the Microsoft implementation goes by the name ClearType ), which exploits the pixel structure of LCD based displays to increase the apparent resolution of text.

While its resolving capabilities are impressive, the very small resulting pixel size puts the camera at a disadvantage when working in low light by introducing slight noise in underexposed areas.

The word metamerism is often incorrectly used to indicate a metameric failure rather than a match, or to describe a situation in which two colors are highly metameric, and hence the metameric match is easily degraded by a slight change in conditions, such as a change in the illuminant.

Using three separate tubes each looking at the same scene would produce slight differences in parallax between the frames, so in practice a single lens was used with a mirror or prism system to separate the colors for the separate tubes.

As dark colors also require inconvenient mixing, most painters prefer to add a premixed dark neutral paint containing a carbon ( black ) pigment and a tinting pigment to produce a slight color bias, usually sold under the marketing names indigo, payne's gray, neutral tint or sepia.

The vocabulary of the two dialects differs significantly, with different signs used even for very common concepts such as colors, animals, and days of the week ; differences in grammar appear to be slight.

* Tapestry: The large eye on these needles lets them to carry a heavier weight yarn than other needles, and their blunt tip -- usually bent at a slight angle from the rest of the needle -- allows them to pass through loosely-woven fabric such as embroidery canvas or even-weave material without catching or tearing it ; comes in a double-eyed version for use on a mounted frame and with two colors of thread.

The development of Technicolor film required the company to develop a new line of products as its existing Panchromatic make-up left a slight sheen on the skin which reflected surrounding colors.
