`` They wouldn't have sold me in the first place if there'd been food enough to go around ''.

Thus, when the Russians sent up their first sputnik, American chagrin was human enough, and American determination to put American satellites into orbit was perfectly understandable.

My first thought was how had it happened so soon, but I counted back on my fingers and sure enough we'd been living together six weeks.

But even without jacketed bullets, I had enough faith in my double to take it on an opening-day deer hunt that first year.

In our own practice, to have the last `` intonaco '' plaster coat thick enough to match, and at the same time to avoid fine cracks in drying, we found that it had to be put on in two layers, letting the first set awhile before applying the second.

Generally the first salvo of a tsunami is a rather sharp swell, not different enough from an ordinary wave to alarm casual observers.

wetting a wart with this saliva on wakening the first thing in the morning was supposed to cause it to disappear after only a few treatments, and strangely enough many warts did just that.

Moritz was bothered during the first two games this year by a pulled muscle in the thigh of his right ( kicking ) leg and, as a result, several of his successful conversions have gone barely far enough.

It might be rough on Edythe at first, but Linda and John between them could make a settlement handsome enough to soothe her, to send her back to Cleveland or anywhere.

In order to know the value of the respective beads of the upper rows, it is enough to multiply by 20 ( by each row ), the value of the corresponding account in the first row.

The Phoenician script was probably the first phonemic script and it contained only about two dozen distinct letters, making it a script simple enough for common traders to learn.

A high enough opening bid could signal a player's determination to be first ranked in that attribute, thereby dissuading others from competing.

" His memo concluded that a manned Moon landing was far enough in the future that it was likely the United States would achieve it first.

It was not the first petroleum find in Alberta, but it was large enough to significantly alter the economy of the province ( and coincided with growing American demand for energy ).

Fleming was the first to push these studies further by isolating the penicillin, and by being motivated enough to promote his discovery at a larger scale.

Today automated flight control is common to reduce pilot error and workload at key times like landing or takeoff. Autopilot was first invented by Lawrence Sperry during World War II to fly bomber planes steady enough to hit precision targets from 25, 000 feet.

With the information contained in Chanute's book, the personal assistance of Chanute himself, and research carried out in their own wind tunnel, the Wright brothers gained enough knowledge of aerodynamics to fly the first powered aircraft on December 17, 1903.

Against a player who doesn't understand the concept of a sacrifice, the expert simply has to make the correct number of sacrifices to encourage the opponent to hand him the first chain long enough to ensure a win.

Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States, was throughout his campaign criticized as being either " too black " or " not black enough ".

Commentators have questioned whether Obama, who was elected the first black President of the United States, is black enough, as his mother was white American, and his father was a black Kenyan immigrant.

According to a 2010 interview on Blog Talk Radios, Lessons Learned, Rick Tocquigny, when asked if Mumy was a Jonathan Harris fan, before Mumy's first meeting with Harris on Lost in Space, he said at age 5, he was too young to watch his mentor's show The Third Man which was probably late at night, but was old enough to watch The Bill Dana Show ( which also starred Harris's real-life best friend Don Adams ).

Psychologists believe that the search for meaning is common in conspiracism and the development of conspiracy theories, and may be powerful enough alone to lead to the first formulating of the idea.

These were some of the first reinforced concrete buildings, and their plans did not contain enough details ( such as how much reinforcing bar had been embedded in the concrete ) to be sure they were safe, so the engineers recommended demolition.

In dovetailing fashion, all programs of all lengths are run, until enough have halted to jointly contribute enough probability to match these first N bits.

Nevertheless, in spite of Rutherford's estimation that gold had a central charge of about 100 ( but was element Z = 79 on the periodic table ), a month after Rutherford's paper appeared, Antonius van den Broek first formally suggested that the central charge and number of electrons in an atom was exactly equal to its place in the periodic table ( also known as element number, atomic number, and symbolized Z ).

Positrons, because of the direction that their paths curled, were at first mistaken for electrons travelling in the opposite direction.

The energy released from transferring the electrons from high-energy states in NADH and quinol is conserved first as proton gradient and converted to ATP via ATP synthase.

While protons and neutrons combined to form the first atomic nuclei only a few minutes after the Big Bang, it would take thousands of years for electrons to combine with them and create electrically neutral atoms.

This is when the first protons, electrons and neutrons formed, then nuclei and finally atoms.

Drude's model described properties of metals in terms of a gas of free electrons, and was the first microscopic model to explain empirical observations such as the Wiedemann – Franz law.

The first theoretical description of metals was given by Paul Drude in 1900 with the Drude model, which explained electrical and thermal properties by describing a metal as an ideal gas of then-newly discovered electrons.

In the first type, a nucleophile, an atom or molecule with an excess of electrons and thus a negative charge or partial charge, replaces another atom or part of the " substrate " molecule.

To release electrons into the tube, they first must be detached from the atoms of the cathode.

Cosmologists refer to the time period when neutral atoms first formed as the recombination epoch, and the event shortly after of photons starting to travel freely through space rather than constantly scattering with electrons and protons in plasma is referred to as photon decoupling.

Mulliken proposed that the arithmetic mean of the first ionization energy ( E < sub > i </ sub >) and the electron affinity ( E < sub > ea </ sub >) should be a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract electrons.

Because of Hund's rules, the first few electrons in a shell tend to have the same spin, thereby increasing the total dipole moment.

The Hall effect offered the first real proof that electric currents in metals are carried by moving electrons, not by protons.

Although these semiclassical models contributed to the development of quantum mechanics, many further experiments starting with Compton scattering of single photons by electrons, first observed in 1923, validated Einstein's hypothesis that light itself is quantized.

However, since photosystem II includes the first steps of the Z-scheme, an external source of electrons is required to reduce its oxidized chlorophyll a molecules.

This suggestion was first made in 1931 by Paul Ehrenfest, who pointed out that the electrons of each atom cannot all fall into the lowest-energy orbital and must occupy successively larger shells.

To calculate the probability of any interactive process between electrons and photons it is a matter of first noting, with Feynman diagrams, all the possible ways in which the process can be constructed from the three basic elements.

The first equation follows from the Newton's second law for superconducting electrons.

The development of the " band " structure of solids can be illustrated qualitatively by first considering the energy levels of electrons around an isolated atom.

The secondary electrons are first collected by attracting them towards an electrically biased grid at about + 400 V, and then further accelerated towards a phosphor or scintillator positively biased to about + 2, 000 V. The accelerated secondary electrons are now sufficiently energetic to cause the scintillator to emit flashes of light ( cathodoluminescence ), which are conducted to a photomultiplier outside the SEM column via a light pipe and a window in the wall of the specimen chamber.

The ability of the Kamiokande experiment to observe the direction of electrons produced in solar neutrino interactions allowed experimenters to directly demonstrate for the first time that the sun was a source of neutrinos.

The word transition was first used to describe the elements now known as the d-block by the English chemist Charles Bury in 1921, who referred to a transition series of elements during the change of an inner layer of electrons ( for example n = 3 in the 4th row of the periodic table ) from a stable group of 8 to one of 18, or from 18 to 32.

Electricity, first thought to be a fluid, was now understood to consist of particles called electrons.
