For example, one meta-analysis reviewing human brain lesions has shown a left hemisphere bias during tool usage.

In English usage, the word bean is also sometimes used to refer to the seeds or pods of plants that are not in the family leguminosae, but which bear a superficial resemblance to true beans — for example coffee beans, castor beans and cocoa beans ( which resemble bean seeds ), and vanilla beans, which superficially resemble bean pods.

William Safire considered this the coinage, but the Random House Dictionary of American Slang considers the usage " metaphorical or perhaps proverbial, rather than a concrete example of the later slang term ", and Popik likewise does not consider this the coinage.

The informal content of this naive set theory supports both the aspects of mathematical sets familiar in discrete mathematics ( for example Venn diagrams and symbolic reasoning about their Boolean algebra ), and the everyday usage of set theory concepts in most contemporary mathematics.

Another example of ecumenism is the invention of and growing usage of the Christian Flag, which was designed to represent all of Christendom.

For example, it is correct British English or American English usage to say: " None are so fallible as those who are sure they're right.

This usage can be seen as either an abuse of history, or as a good example of the ever-changing nature of rhyming slang.

For example, a physics lab course might ask students to record lengths in centimetres, and masses in grams, but force ( a derived unit ) in newtons, a usage consistent with the SI system.

This usage is seen in statements that describe a patient as being " in critical condition ", for example.

The nomenclature of describing the two alkyl groups and appending " ether ", e. g. " ethyl methyl ether " in the example above, is a trivial usage.

The Dutch in New York, for example, used the patronymic system of names until 1687 when the advent of English rule mandated surname usage.

The term derives most immediately from galun, galon in Old Northern French, but the usage was common in several languages, for example jale in Old French and gęllet ( bowl ) in Old English.

However, this usage was not always consistent, as, for example, West Berliners frequently applied the term Westdeutschland to denote the Federal Republic.

It is possible to put stations or spacecraft on orbits that cycle between different planets, for example a Mars cycler would synchronously cycle between Mars and Earth, with very little propellant usage to maintain the trajectory.

However, within the language of Internet slang, there is still an element of prescriptivism, as seen in style guides, for example Wired Style, which are specifically aimed at usage on the Internet.

For example, the point is sometimes made that " we " have decided to enact a certain policy, and sometimes this usage is used to imply that the entity known as " society " supports the policy and thus it is justified.

In some cases, the third letter is the initial for " new " in that country's language, to distinguish it from an older currency that was revalued ; the code sometimes outlasts the usage of the term " new " itself ( for example, the code for the Mexican peso is MXN ).

A well-known example of this legal usage is The Cases of Judge Dee ( 狄公案 Di Gongan in Chinese ), a Ming dynasty novel based on a historical Tang dynasty judge.

An ordinary English-language usage predating guided weapons is simply any thrown object, for example objects thrown by rowdy football spectators at players.

An example of this usage can be found in the published edition of the Latin Cathar text, the Liber de duobus principiis ( Book of the Two Principles ), which was described as " Neo-Manichaean " by its publishers.

The Mac OS X 10. 6 file manager is a notable example of this usage in software.

Marketing decisions have obvious potential connection to the numerator of ROI ( profits ), but these same decisions often influence assets usage and capital requirements ( for example, receivables and inventories ).

The Shakespeare quote is probably an example of such a usage.

Military usage includes attacking enemy surface ships or submarines, aircraft carrier protection, blockade running, ballistic missile submarines as part of a nuclear strike force, reconnaissance, conventional land attack ( for example using a cruise missile ), and covert insertion of special forces.

The modern American usage of the term came about during the course of the 19th century, as improvements in transportation and sanitation made it possible for wealthy developments to exist on the outskirts of cities, for example in Brooklyn Heights, New York City.

As an example of DMA engine incorporated in a general-purpose CPU, newer Intel Xeon chipsets include a DMA engine technology called I / O Acceleration Technology ( I / OAT ), meant to improve network performance on high-throughput network interfaces, in particular gigabit Ethernet and faster.

The DMA command is issued by specifying a pair of a local address and a remote address: for example when a SPE program issues a put DMA command, it specifies an address of its own local memory as the source and a virtual memory address ( pointing to either the main memory or the local memory of another SPE ) as the target, together with a block size.

The existing ST chips used in the TT ( DMA and video chips for example ) could not handle anything over 16 MHz.

For example, while the internal bus supported direct memory access ( DMA ), none of the available I / O devices used this feature.

Node-to-node strided DMA is available, for example allowing every third column of a matrix to be transmitted.

For example, turning on DMA can, in some instances, double or triple data throughput.

As an example, if one was trying to profit from a price discrepancy between IBM on the NYSE and IBM on the London Stock Exchange, they may purchase a large number of shares on the NYSE and find that they cannot simultaneously sell on the LSE.

For example, the IBM 701 ( 1952 ) used binary and could address 2048 36-bit words, while the IBM 702 ( 1953 ) used decimal and could address 7-bit words.

For example, the internal clock frequency of the original IBM PC was 4. 77 MHz, that is, Hz.

A tiny assembler program was hand-coded for a new computer ( for example the IBM 650 ) which converted a few instructions into binary or decimal code: A1.

For example, an IBM PC might have either a monochrome or a color display adapter ( using different display memory addresses and hardware ), but a single, standard, BIOS system call may be invoked to display a character at a specified position on the screen in text mode.

For example, the IBM System / 370 used a CPU that was primarily 32 bit, but it used 128-bit precision inside its floating point units to facilitate greater accuracy and range in floating point numbers.

For example, the IBM 350 disk drives were called " disk files ".

Later models followed in the trend: for example, the PC / XT, IBM Portable Personal Computer, and PC AT are IBM machine types 5160, 5155, and 5170, respectively.

Occasionally video interface hardware was also integrated into the motherboard ; for example, on the Apple II and rarely on IBM-compatible computers such as the IBM PC Jr. Additional peripherals such as disk controllers and serial ports were provided as expansion cards.

The IBM System / 360 has a 32-bit architecture with 16 general-purpose registers, but most of the System / 360 implementations actually use hardware that implemented a much simpler underlying microarchitecture ; for example, the System / 360 Model 30 had 8-bit data paths to the arithmetic logic unit ( ALU ) and main memory and implemented the general-purpose registers in a special unit of higher-speed core memory, and the System / 360 Model 40 had 8-bit data paths to the ALU and 16-bit data paths to main memory and also implemented the general-purpose registers in a special unit of higher-speed core memory.

The only spark that was needed for this combustible situation to ignite was an example of evangelism provided by the " new IBM "-a few employees who took " empowerment " seriously, able to coordinate their efforts through participation in TEAMOS2 FORUM, an internal IBM discussion group )-and passionate supporters outside IBM who adopted the ideas and modeled the behaviors of those who were early activists within IBM ..

Third-party software can be used to synchronize PDAs to other personal information managers that are not supported by the PDA manufacturers ( for example, GoldMine and IBM Lotus Notes ).

For example, IBM used it in their Technical Reference for the original PC.

For example, on the original IBM PC, a male D-sub was an RS-232-C DTE port ( with a non-standard current loop interface on reserved pins ), but the female D-sub connector was used for a parallel Centronics printer port.

An early example of a large-scale real-time operating system was the Transaction Processing Facility developed by American Airlines and IBM for the Sabre Airline Reservations System.

Since UML has evolved, some of these methods have been recast to take advantage of the new notations ( for example OMT ), and new methods have been created based on UML, such as IBM Rational Unified Process ( RUP ).

Another example is System Workload Partitions ( WPARs ), introduced in the IBM AIX 6. 1 operating system.

For example, IBM customers running Release 9 can upgrade directly to Release 11 ( or Release 10 ), and both releases can operate concurrently within the same Sysplex ( cluster ) and without conflict using the same datasets, configurations, security profiles, etc.
