Such phrases can be assigned different interpretations because different grammatical structures can be assigned to the same string of words.

The lowest possible energy an electron can take is therefore analogous to the fundamental frequency of a wave on a string.

* The concatenation of the three strings,, can be computed by concatenating the first two strings ( giving ) and appending the third string (), or by joining the second and third string ( giving ) and concatenating the first string () with the result.

It can be shown that the Kolmogorov complexity of any string cannot be more than a few bytes larger than the length of the string itself.

Solomonoff used this algorithm, and the code lengths it allows, to define a " universal probability " of a string on which inductive inference of the subsequent digits of the string can be based.

Using the " lock and key " metaphor, the antigen itself can be seen as a string of keys-any epitope being a " key "-each of which can match a different lock.

This is because the bowstring accelerates faster than the archer's fingers can open, and consequently some sideways motion is imparted to the string, and hence arrow nock, as the power and speed of the bow pulls the string off the opening fingers.

This flexing can be a desirable feature, since, when the spine of the shaft is matched to the acceleration of the bow ( string ), the arrow bends or flexes around the bow and any arrow-rest, and consequently the arrow, and fletchings, have an un-impeded flight.

The electric string bass and upright string bass — depending on the circumstance — can be treated by the arranger as either string section or rhythm section instruments.

A string section can be utilized on its own ( this is referred to as a string orchestra ) or in conjunction with any of the other instrumental sections.

More than one string orchestra can be utilized.

For the case of an object that is small compared with the radial distance to its axis of rotation, such as a tin can swinging from a long string or a planet orbiting in a circle around the Sun, the angular momentum can be expressed as its linear momentum,, crossed by its position from the origin, r. Thus, the angular momentum L of a particle with respect to some point of origin is

This is in fact incorrect, for a higher string tension can cause the shuttle to slide off the racquet and hence make it harder to hit a shot accurately.

Using the extension of the code, the encoded string 0011001011 can be grouped into codewords as 0 – 011 – 0 – 01 – 011, and these in turn can be decoded to the sequence of source symbols acabc.

I will be able to tell you more about this string of equines in the near future.

Nosebleed could be stopped by wrapping a red woolen string about the patient's neck and tying it in a knot for each year of his life.

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 the following discussion, let K ( s ) be the complexity of the string s.

It is not hard to see that the minimal description of a string cannot be too much larger than the string itself-the program GenerateFixedString above that outputs s is a fixed amount larger than s.

We show this by contradiction by making a program that creates a string that should only be able to be created by a longer program.

Clearly there is always at least one such string for any n, as otherwise all possible strings ( infinitely many ) could be generated by the ( finitely many ) programs with lower complexity, so GenerateComplexString must always return.

Even with a release aid mechanism some of this effect will usually be experienced, since the string always accelerates faster than the retaining part of the mechanism.

* Despite its heritage, Applesoft lacked commands common to most other Microsoft BASIC interpreters, such as INSTR ( which searched for a substring in a given string ; this had to be done manually with loops and the MID $ function ), PRINT USING ( which formatted numbers with commas and currency signs according to a format string ), and INKEY $ ( which checked for a keypress without stopping the program as Applesoft's GET command — analogous to the INPUT $ function — did, although a PEEK location did provide this functionality ).

Archaeological confirmation of Bethlehem as an Israelite city was uncovered in 2012 at the archaeological dig at the City of David in the form of a bulla ( seal impression in dried clay ) in ancient Hebrew script that reads " From the town of Bethlehem to the King ," indicating that it was used to seal the string closing a shipment of grain, wine, or other goods sent as a tax payment in the 8th or 7th century BCE.

Four string alto balalaikas are also encountered and are used in the orchestra of the Piatnistky Folk Choir.

An important part of balalaika technique is the use of the left thumb to fret notes on the lower string, particularly on the prima, where it is used to form chords.

Steven Weinberg and a number of string theorists ( see string landscape ) have used this as evidence for the anthropic principle, which suggests that the cosmological constant is so small because life ( and thus physicists, to make observations ) cannot exist in a universe with a large cosmological constant, but many people find this an unsatisfying explanation.

An alternate form of ( 2 ) – the machine successively prints all n of the digits on its tape, halting after printing the n < sup > th </ sup > – emphasizes Minsky's observation: ( 3 ) That by use of a Turing machine, a finite definition – in the form of the machine's table – is being used to define what is a potentially-infinite string of decimal digits.

The cello is used as a solo instrument, in chamber music, in a string orchestra, and as a member of the string section of an orchestra.

In some films, knitted string spray-painted with a metallic paint is used instead of actual mail in order to cut down on cost ( an example being Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which was filmed on a very small budget ).

Primarily used for hunting wildfowl, these usually have a double string with a pouch between the strings to hold the projectile.

The way the same string pair is used for several notes is clearly visible in the full size image.

The " French " or " overhand " bow is similar in shape and implementation to the bow used on the other members of the orchestral string instrument family, while the " German " or " Butler " bow is typically broader and shorter, and is held in a " hand shake " position.

The double bass bow is strung with either white or black horsehair, or a combination of the two ( known as " salt and pepper "), as opposed to the customary white horsehair used on the bows of other string instruments.

A low-C extension with wooden mechanical " fingers " that can be used to stop the string at C ♯, D, Eb, or E.

A variant and much less-commonly used form of solo tuning used in some Eastern European countries is ( A-D-G-C ), which uses three of the strings from orchestral tuning ( A-D-G ) and then adds a high " C " string.

The string bass is the most commonly used bass instrument in bluegrass music and is almost always plucked, though some modern bluegrass bassists have also used a bow.

" Slap style " may have influenced electric bass guitar players who, from the mid-sixties ( particularly Larry Graham of Sly and the Family Stone ), developed a technique called slap and pop that used the thumb of the plucking hand to hit the string, making a slapping sound but still letting the note ring, and the index or middle finger of the plucking hand to pull the string back so it hits the fretboard, achieving the pop sound described above.

A string tied at each end to the two pins and the tip of a pen is used to pull the loop taut so as to form a triangle.

For example, foo and bar might be used to illustrate a simple string concatenation:

There are also more exotic varieties, such as guitars with two, three, or rarely four necks, all manner of alternate string arrangements, fretless fingerboards ( used almost exclusively on bass guitars, meant to emulate the sound of a stand-up bass ), 5. 1 surround guitar, and such.
