Thus a sample of disk galaxies with prominent spheroidal components will have more galaxies at larger axial ratios.

Thus, lenticulars have much larger v / σ ratios than ellipticals due to their non-negligible rotational velocities ( due to the disk component ) in addition to not having as prominent of a bulge component compared to elliptical galaxies.

The density of this interstitial packing depends sensitively on the radius ratio, but in the limit of extreme size ratios, the smaller spheres can fill the gaps with the same density as the larger spheres filled space.

During the latter 1990s, the cost-performance ratios of the larger mainframe systems fell tremendously in comparison to a number of smaller microcomputers handling the same load.

The larger NERVA I rocket gradually gave way to the smaller NERVA II rocket in mission plans as efficiency increased and thrust-to-weight ratios grew, and the KIWI gradually gave way at Los Alamos to the smaller Pewee and Pewee 2 as funding was cut to lower and lower levels by Congress and the Nixon administration.

He did this by starting in 1922 with the H-10 experimental heavy 2-8-2 design for the New York Central ( Michigan Central 8000 ) and applying both relatively new science ( the Cole ratios ) every efficiency-enhancing tool available – a larger firebox, increased superheat, a feedwater heater, improved draughting, higher boiler pressure, streamlined steam passages and a trailing-truck booster engine, and by applying limited cutoff ( the range of steam valve admission settings ) to prevent locomotive engineers from using excessive steam at starting.

Eighty percent of the engine's internals were all-new to reduce weight and minimize friction ; other updates included redesigned combustion chambers and porting, aluminum composite cylinders, new pistons, a smaller and lighter clutch pack, revised gearbox ratios, larger radiator, and a new stainless steel exhaust header.

Some bridge digital cameras have even larger zoom ratios up to 36 ×.

In 1989, the gear ratios changed, front brakes and outer axle shafts were made larger, the rear differential was reinforced and front axle shafts were identical lengths.

The new car combined the 1275 cc engine block already familiar to drivers of newer Mini Cooper and Austin-Healey Sprite models with the 1100 transmission, its gear ratios remaining unchanged for the larger engine, but the final-drive being significantly more highly geared.

Because of this money creation process by the commercial banks, the money supply of a country is usually a multiple larger than the money issued by the central bank ; that multiple is determined by the reserve ratio or other financial ratios ( primarily the capital adequacy ratio that limits the overall credit creation of a bank ) set by the relevant banking regulators in the jurisdiction.

The Bambiraptor holotype had with 14 cm³ the largest brain for its size of any dinosaur yet discovered, although the brain size may be due to its age, because juvenile animals tend to have larger brain-to-body ratios compared to adults.

Solution heights were adjusted to criticality with D < sub > 2 </ sub > O solutions at D /< sup > 235 </ sup > U atomic ratios of 1: 230 and 1: 419 in the smaller tank and 1: 856 to 1: 2081 in the larger tank.

In spite of the armistice negotiated by Amadee two years earlier, the war between Bishop Guillaume of Lausanne and Louis of Savoy was still going on, and although little is known about it, that little proves that it was yet another phase of the struggle against French expansion and was closely interwoven with the larger conflict.

If one assumes that the average flux did not change between measurements, a mass-distribution curve is obtained which relates the flux of particles larger than a given radius to the inverse 7/2 power of the radius.

Although the standard deviation values on which spread of the lines is based are relatively larger for those centers which begin to ossify early ( Table 1 ), there are considerable differences in this value between centers having the closely timed Onsets.

Direct reciprocity and cooperation in a group can be increased by changing the focus and incentives from intra-group competition to larger scale competitions such as between groups or against the general population.

A distinction is sometimes made between the smaller adobes, which are about the size of ordinary baked bricks, and the larger adobines, some of which may be one to two yards ( 1 – 2 m ) long.

There are similarities and differences between such figures in reports about Basilides ' teaching, ancient Gnostic texts, the larger Greco-Roman magical traditions, and modern magical and esoteric writings.

An exception to this general tendency is his Latin treatise " De falconibus " ( later inserted in the larger work, De Animalibus, as book 23, chapter 40 ), in which he displays impressive actual knowledge of a ) the differences between the birds of prey and the other kinds of birds ; b ) the different kinds of falcons ; c ) the way of preparing them for the hunt ; and d ) the cures for sick and wounded falcons.

We have to distinguish between the spectra of di-atomic molecules, which exhibit a pronounced fine structure, and those of larger ( usually tri-atomic ) molecules that don ’ t show such fine structure.

* It's impossible to take advantage of redundancy between files unless the compression window is larger than the size of an individual file.

Under 10 % of organisms were predators or scavengers, although since these organisms were larger, the biomass was split equally between each of the filter feeding, deposit feeding, predatory and scavenging organisms.

In larger universities where both a statistics and a biostatistics department exist, the degree of integration between the two departments may range from the bare minimum to very close collaboration.

The larger group inhabited the north-eastern slopes of the Carpathians and the area between the Prut and Dnieper rivers ( Moldova Republic / Western Ukraine ), while a separate smaller group ( the Peucini ) dwelt in and North of the Danube delta region.

The negative publicity caused by the rift with Graham, itself a reflection of a larger division between separatist fundamentalists and neo-evangelicals, precipitated a decline in BJU enrollment of about 10 % in the years 1956-59.

Breathy voice ( also called murmured voice, soughing, or susurration ) is a phonation in which the vocal cords vibrate, as they do in normal ( modal ) voicing, but are held further apart, so that a larger volume of air escapes between them.

The male is torpedo-shaped, with gold stripes between the blue stripes ; the female has a larger, whitish belly and silver stripes instead of gold.

Carnivorans tend to produce a single litter annually, but some produce multiple litters a year, and larger carnivorans, like bears, have gaps of 2 – 3 years between litters.

They are social animals, living in groups of between five and forty individuals, with the smaller species typically forming larger groups.

The Chilean War of Independence was part of the larger Spanish American independence movement, and it was far from having unanimous support among Chileans, who became divided between independentists and royalists.
