This almost trivial example is nevertheless suggestive, for there are some elements in common between the antique fear that the days would get shorter and shorter and our present fear of war.

The details of the setting of `` Neutral Tones '' are not, strictly speaking, metaphorical, but they combine to create a mood which is appropriate both to a dismal winter day and to the end of love, and in this way love and weather, the emotions and the elements, symbolize each other in a way that is common to many of Hardy's best poems ( `` Weathers '', `` The Darkling Thrush '', and `` During Wind and Rain '', for example ) and to some moving passages in the novels as well ( Far From The Madding Crowd is full of scenes constructed in this way ).

The most common example is ethanol, which is capable of causing reversible cerebellar and vestibular ataxia.

For example, paintings glorified aristocracy in the early 17th century when leadership was needed to nationalize small political groupings, but later as leadership became oppressive, satirization increased and subjects were less concerned with leaders and more with more common plights of mankind.

Use of the term to describe writers, for example, is certainly valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like criticism.

However, many important and interesting operations are non-associative ; one common example would be the vector cross product.

Let's now look at a common example of adiabatic compression-the compression stroke in a gasoline engine.

In common law states an assault is not committed by merely, for example, swearing at another ; without threat of battery, there can be no assault.

Agate is one of the most common materials used in the art of hardstone carving, and has been recovered at a number of ancient sites, indicating its widespread use in the ancient world ; for example, archaeological recovery at the Knossos site on Crete illustrates its role in Bronze Age Minoan culture.

One such example is the common use of western broccoli ( xīlán, 西蘭 ) instead of Chinese broccoli ( jie lan, 芥蘭 jièlán ) in American Chinese cuisine.

Inappropriate antibacterial treatment, for example, is the prescription of antibacterials to treat viral infections such as the common cold.

For example, given two image elements A and B, the most common compositing operation is to combine the images such that A appears in the foreground and B appears in the background.

' For example, Tagore's idea of these two concepts should be way above any common man's and many perceive Tagore as a ' Mahana ' Artist in the realm of literature.

Contributions from these ethnic foods have become as common as traditional " American " fares such as hot dogs, hamburgers, beef steak, which are derived from German cuisine, ( chicken-fried steak, for example, is a variation on German schnitzel ), cherry pie, Coca-Cola, milkshakes, fried chicken ( Fried chicken is of Scottish and African influence ) and so on.

High-alcohol liquor, two forms of which were in the US Pharmacopoeia up until 1916 and in common use by physicians well into the 1930s, has been used in the past as an agent for dulling pain, due to the CNS depressant effects of ethyl alcohol, a notable example being the American Civil War.

The popular MP3 format is probably the best-known example, but the AAC format found on the iTunes Music Store is also common.

A common example used in undergraduate education is the determination of the amount of water in a hydrate by heating the sample to remove the water such that the difference in weight is due to the loss of water.

A common example of a vertical asymptote is the case of a rational function at a point x such that the denominator is zero and the numerator is non-zero.

This type of price arbitrage is the most common, but this simple example ignores the cost of transport, storage, risk, and other factors.

A common example is nitric acid produced by electric discharge in the atmosphere such as lightning.

An example of such a state within the common law jurisdiction, and using the black letter legal doctrine is Canada.

Positive feedback in mechanical design causes tipping-point, or ' over-centre ', mechanisms to snap into position, for example in switches and locking pliers.

However, algorithms are also implemented by other means, such as in a biological neural network ( for example, the human brain implementing arithmetic or an insect looking for food ), in an electrical circuit, or in a mechanical device.

A device that converts signals from one type to another ( for example, a light signal in photons to a DC signal in amperes ) is a transducer, a transformer, or a sensor.

A calendar is also a physical device ( often paper ) ( for example, a desktop calendar or a wall calendar ).

A charge-coupled device ( CCD ) is a device for the movement of electrical charge, usually from within the device to an area where the charge can be manipulated, for example conversion into a digital value.

Therefore the electrons flow into the polarized electrical device and out of, for example, the connected electrical circuit.

In Unix-like operating systems, many files have no direct association with a physical storage device: < tt >/ dev / null </ tt > is a prime example, as are just about all files under < tt >/ dev </ tt >, < tt >/ proc </ tt > and < tt >/ sys </ tt >.

For example, CP / M used a command syntax similar to RT-11's, and even retained the awkward PIP program used to copy data from one computer device to another.

They are used to emulate a hardware device, particularly in virtualization environments, for example when a DOS program is run on a Microsoft Windows computer or when a guest operating system is run on, for example, a Xen host.

For example a virtual network adapter is used with a virtual private network, while a virtual disk device is used with iSCSI.

The best example for virtual device drivers can be " Daemon Tools ".

They may be powered by direct current ( for example a battery powered portable device or motor vehicle ), or by alternating current from a central electrical distribution grid.

A subclass of this is focused ion beam milling, where gallium ions are used to produce an electron transparent membrane in a specific region of the sample, for example through a device within a microprocessor.

* Class-A designs are simpler than other classes ; for example class-AB and-B designs require two devices ( push – pull output ) to handle both halves of the waveform ; class A can use a single device single-ended.

For example, the Linux Amiga framebuffer device driver allows the use of several other display modes.

For example, in Shadowrun, a tactical nuclear device was detonated near FASA's offices at 1026 W. Van Buren St in Chicago, Illinois.

The most telling passage reads: " We have an example of these things ( that act on the senses ) in sound and fire of that children's toy which is made in many parts of the world ; i. e. a device no bigger than one's thumb.

This includes people who do simple modifications to graphing calculators, video game consoles, electronic musical keyboards or other device ( see CueCat for a notorious example ) to expose or add functionality to a device that was unintended for use by end users by the company who created it.

One such example is the centuries-old debate about Hamlet's hesitation to kill his uncle, which some see as a mere plot device to prolong the action, but which others argue is a dramatization of the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge, and thwarted desire.

For example, every device ( such as an intermediate router ) forwarding an IP datagram first decrements the time to live ( TTL ) field in the IP header by one.

Another example of his inventive genius was the grasshopper escapement – a control device for the step-by-step release of a clock's driving power.
