For example a target acquisition element can send a message with target details which is automatically routed through the tactical and technical fire control elements to deliver firing data to the gun's laying system and the gun automatically laid.

In other armies an ' authorised observer ' ( for example, artillery observation team or other target acquisition element ) can order fire units to engage.

In either case the observation element usually controls fire in detail against the target, such as adjusting it onto the target, moving it and co-ordinating it with the supported arm as necessary to achieve the required effects.

Some scholars take the term kenning broadly to include any noun-substitute consisting of two or more elements, including merely descriptive epithets ( such as Old Norse grand viðar “ bane of wood ” = “ fire ” ( Snorri Sturluson: Skáldskaparmál 36 )), while others would restrict it to metaphorical instances ( such as Old Norse sól húsanna “ sun of the houses ” = “ fire ” ( Snorri Sturluson: Skáldskaparmál 36 )), specifically those where “ he base-word identifies the referent with something which it is not, except in a specially conceived relation which the poet imagines between it and the sense of the limiting element '” ( Brodeur ( 1959 ) pp. 248 – 253 ).

In his book, Becher eliminated fire and air from the classical element model and replaced them with three forms of earth: terra lapidea, terra fluida, and terra pinguis.

It may be thought unfortunate that he was called on entirely by accident to perform, if again we may trust the opening of the oratio, for it marks the beginning for us of his use of his peculiar form of witty word play that even in this Latin banter has in it the unmistakable element of viciousness and an almost sadistic delight in verbally tormenting an adversary.

The most positive element to emerge from the Oslo meeting of North Atlantic Treaty Organization Foreign Ministers has been the freer, franker, and wider discussions, animated by much better mutual understanding than in past meetings.

Each element has a specific set of chemical properties as a consequence of the number of electrons present in the neutral atom, which is Z ( the atomic number ).

In the even simpler case of a collection of one set, a choice function just corresponds to an element, so this instance of the axiom of choice says that every nonempty set has an element ; this holds trivially.

Every such subset has a smallest element, so to specify our choice function we can simply say that it maps each set to the least element of that set.

The reason that we are able to choose least elements from subsets of the natural numbers is the fact that the natural numbers are well-ordered: every nonempty subset of the natural numbers has a unique least element under the natural ordering.

** Zorn's lemma: Every non-empty partially ordered set in which every chain ( i. e. totally ordered subset ) has an upper bound contains at least one maximal element.

** Tukey's lemma: Every non-empty collection of finite character has a maximal element with respect to inclusion.

Americium ( ) is a transuranic radioactive chemical element that has the symbol Am and atomic number 95.

Each element has at least one isotope with an unstable nucleus that can undergo radioactive decay.

For example, Madagascar's central highland plateau has become virtually totally barren ( about ten percent of the country ), as a result of slash-and-burn deforestation, an element of shifting cultivation practiced by many natives.

Chinese has in which the first element sounds like the accented second syllable in " America " ( and the second element means " nation ").

In practice, this mode of decay has only been observed in nuclides considerably heavier than nickel, with the lightest known alpha emitter being the lightest isotopes ( mass numbers 106 – 110 ) of tellurium ( element 52 ).

For example, an array of 10 integer variables, with indices 0 through 9, may be stored as 10 words at memory addresses 2000, 2004, 2008, … 2036, so that the element with index i has the address 2000 + 4 × i.

For example, if the sorted list to which we apply binary search has n elements, and we can guarantee that each lookup of an element in the list can be done in unit time, then at most log < sub > 2 </ sub > n + 1 time units are needed to return an answer.

The advantage of this technique is that only a medium-resolution monochromator is necessary for measuring AAS ; however, it has the disadvantage that usually a separate lamp is required for each element that has to be determined.

Eventually it became clear to me, partly with the aid of another schizophrenic patient who could point out my condescension to me somewhat more directly, that this man, with his condescending, `` You're welcome '', was very accurately personifying an element of obnoxious condescension which had been present in my own demeanor, over these months, on each of these occasions when I had bid him good-bye with the consoling note, each time, that the healing Christ would be stooping to dispense this succor to the poor sufferer again on the morrow.

An atom of any other element ionized down to a single electron is very similar to hydrogen, and the orbitals take the same form.

The relatively small number of atomic absorption lines ( compared to atomic emission lines ) and their narrow width ( a few pm ) make spectral overlap rare ; there are only very few examples known that an absorption line from one element will overlap with another.

The element is also very rational and quick to flare up as is the personality of many fire-children.

It almost always has an element of exclusion, meaning that some people are not citizens, and that this distinction can sometimes be very important, or not important, depending on a particular society.

Based on the intuition of a very experienced chemist, Dimitri Mendeleev had predicted the existence of a missing element in the Periodic Table, which was later found to be filled by technetium, and Bohuslav Brauner had predicted the existence of another missing element in this Table, which was later found to be filled by promethium.

Where the first element was long, the iota was lost in pronunciation at an early date, and was written in polytonic orthography as iota subscript, in other words as a very small ι under the main vowel, for instance.
