Although small, it still made a significant difference in the performance of many applications.

Although early examples of organic reactions and applications were often serendipitous, the latter half of the 19th century witnessed highly systematic studies of organic compounds.

Although some of the RICO predicate acts are extortion and blackmail, one of the most successful applications of the RICO laws has been the ability to indict or sanction individuals for their behavior and actions committed against witnesses and victims in alleged retaliation or retribution for cooperating with federal law enforcement or intelligence agencies.

Although observing redshifts and blueshifts have several terrestrial applications ( e. g., Doppler radar and radar guns ), redshifts are most famously seen in the spectroscopic observations of astronomical objects.
