Although disputed in some circles and generally accepted as being imperfect, the model is widely employed and seen as useful in gaining an understanding of macroeconomic theory.

Although water is vital for life, the structure of this water in the cytosol is not well understood, mostly because methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance only give information on the average structure of water, and cannot measure local variations at the microscopic scale.

Although there are no known magnetic monopoles in nature, there are magnetic dipoles in the form of the quantum-mechanical spin associated with particles such as electrons ( although the accurate description of such effects falls outside of classical electromagnetism ).

Although he rejected the transcendental / metaphysical interpretation given to these phenomena outright, Braid accepted that these accounts of Oriental practices supported his view that the effects of hypnotism could be produced in solitude, without the presence of any other person ( as he had already proved to his own satisfaction with the experiments he had conducted in November 1841 ); and he saw correlations between many of the " metaphysical " Oriental practices and his own " rational " neuro-hypnotism, and totally rejected all of the fluid theories and magnetic practices of the mesmerists.

Although the details of sunspot generation are still a matter of research, it appears that sunspots are the visible counterparts of magnetic flux tubes in the Sun's convective zone that get " wound up " by differential rotation.

Although the high-temperature superconductor ( HTSC ) has higher critical temperature, flux lattice melting takes place in moderate magnetic fields around a temperature lower than this critical temperature.

Although they also have a toroidal magnetic field topology, stellarators are distinct from tokamaks in that they are not azimuthally symmetric.

Although magnets and magnetism were known much earlier, the study of the magnetic field began in 1269 when French scholar Petrus Peregrinus de Maricourt mapped out the magnetic field on the surface of a spherical magnet using iron needles.

Although implicit in Ampère's force law the force due to a magnetic field on a moving electric charge was not correctly and explicitly stated until 1892 by Hendrik Lorentz who theoretically derived it from Maxwell's equations.

Although a wide range of magnetic configurations exist, the underlying MHD physics is common to all.

Although these weapons were much smaller ( 300 kiloton or 1. 3 PJ ) than the Starfish Prime test, since those tests were done over a populated large land mass ( and also at a location where the Earth's magnetic field was greater ), the damage caused by the resulting EMP was reportedly much greater than in the Starfish Prime nuclear test.

Although other forms of storage are viable ( such as magnetic tape and solid-state drives ) disk drives have continued to offer the best fit for cost, performance, and capacity.

Although the optical sound should have been inferior in quality to magnetic sound ( running at 3. 6 inches per second for 24 frames per second ), in practice it was often much better, largely because packaged movie magnetic sound was often poorly recorded.

Although there are only static electric and magnetic fields, the calculation of the Poynting vector produces a clockwise circular flow of electromagnetic energy, with no beginning or end.

Although many magnetic tapes have deteriorated over time to the point that the data on them has been irretrievably lost, punched tape can be read many decades later, if acid-free paper or Mylar film is used.

Although ferromagnetic ( and ferrimagnetic ) materials are the only ones attracted to a magnet strongly enough to be commonly considered magnetic, all other substances respond weakly to a magnetic field, by one of several other types of magnetism.

Although for many purposes it is convenient to think of a magnet as having distinct north and south magnetic poles, the concept of poles should not be taken literally: it is merely a way of referring to the two different ends of a magnet.

Although Wakeman is a noted player of the grand piano, electric piano, Hammond organ, Minimoog and many later models of synthesiser, he is well known as a proponent ( for a time ) of the Mellotron – an analogue electronic musical instrument that uses a bank of pre-recorded magnetic tape strips, each of which is activated by a separate key on its keyboard and lasts approximately 8 seconds.
