Although MUSH servers do not impose strong administrative hierarchies, most MUSH games establish additional levels of management besides Wizards.

Although Escher did not have mathematical training — his understanding of mathematics was largely visual and intuitive — Escher's work had a strong mathematical component, and more than a few of the worlds which he drew are built around impossible objects such as the Necker cube and the Penrose triangle.

Although this would generate unacceptable distortion in a music signal, the peaky nature of speech waveforms, combined with the simple frequency structure of speech as a periodic waveform having a single fundamental frequency with occasional added noise bursts, make these very simple instantaneous compression algorithms acceptable for speech.

Although it is intended that the reproduced signal may sound nearly identical to the original as far as the listener is concerned, it differs sufficiently that listening on a high quality audio system will betray the difference ( other true compression schemes generally share this characteristic to a greater or lesser degree ).

Although the role of PG and PI are not clear, they appear to interact with hydrophobic surfactant proteins SP ‐ B and SP ‐ C to prevent the irreversible removal of the phospholipids from the surfactant film during alveolar compression and collapse for rapid reinsertion upon re-expansion.

Although it might be assumed that the fiber is weak in compression, it is actually only the long aspect ratio of the fiber which makes it seem so ; i. e., because a typical fiber is long and narrow, it buckles easily.

Although there is no dense collagen network in adipose tissue, groups of adipose cells are kept together by collagen fibers and collagen sheets in order to keep fat tissue under compression in place ( for example the sole of the foot ).

Although it is the optimal symbol-by-symbol coding for such probability distributions, Golomb coding achieves better compression capability for the geometric distribution because it does not consider input symbols independently, but rather implicitly groups the inputs.

Although Dolby noise reduction also used some companding, the level of compression and expansion was very mild, so that the sound of Dolby-encoded tapes was acceptable to consumers when played back on non-Dolby equipment.

An example of a quasistatic process that is not reversible is a compression against a system with a piston subject to friction — Although the system is always in thermal equilibrium, the friction ensures the generation of dissipative entropy, which directly goes against the definition of reversible.

Although the displacement was the same, the KLZE had more durations on the cams, higher compression due to a different shape of pistons, and the intake manifold was different on the ZE.

Although DVD Shrink gives the user free rein over compression settings for individual tracks on the DVD, removing content altogether is not allowed as there is a risk of upsetting the DVD's menu software.

Although RFB started as a relatively simple protocol it has been enhanced with additional features ( such as file transfers ) and more sophisticated compression and security techniques as it has developed.

Although Buick and Olds shared the same basic engine design, both divisions used different camshafts, carburetors and compression ratios.

Although the compression ratio was raised to 9. 5: 1, the power figures didn't differ much from the earlier TL16H version — the engine developed of power and of torque.

Although Jake brake properly refers to the Jacobs brand of engine brakes, the term has become a genericized trademark and is often used to refer to engine brakes or compression release engine brakes in general, especially on large vehicles or heavy equipment.

Although chirp signals have been known for many years in radar, pulse compression, and the like, the first published reference to the chirplet transform described specific signal representations based on families of functions related to one another by time – varying frequency modulation or frequency varying time modulation, in addition to time and frequency shifting, and scale changes.

Although there is the popular misconception that the bz prefix means that bzip2 compression is used ( the bzip2 package is often distributed with tools prefixed with bz, such as < tt > bzless </ tt >, < tt > bzcat </ tt >, etc.

Although the engine's displacement was still 1494 cc, it was fitted with a new eight-port aluminium cylinder head with an increased compression ratio and redesigned valves, and used a new, sportier camshaft.

Although often considered a classic finding in multiple sclerosis, it can be caused by a number of conditions, including transverse myelitis, Behçet's disease, trauma, radiation myelopathy, vitamin B12 deficiency ( subacute combined degeneration ), and compression of the spinal cord in the neck from any cause such as cervical spondylosis, disc herniation, tumor, and Arnold-Chiari malformation.
