However, they had since erased the losses and closed with a small gain through successful bets that the market would rally in anticipation that the Federal Reserve would announce further " Quantitative Easing " to assist in reducing unemployment and avoid deflation.

Easing into novel writing, in 1949 he published his first acknowledged novel, Boys and Girls Come out to Play ( A Sea Change in the USA ), which won the Anglo-American novel award for that year ( shared with Anthony West ).

* Hickmott, Mary, Easing Into Hardanger.

Easing the unsynchronised six-speed into gear, I accelerated onto the straight.

Easing the main sheet increases twist and the twist is usually adjusted so that the aft end of the top batten in the main sail runs parallel to the boom.

If the Af bond is linear then there are three reasonable positions for the hydrogen atoms: ( 1 ) The hydrogen atoms are centered and hence all lie on a sheet midway between the oxygen sheets ; ;

One medium saw two sheets flapping on a line and found that the name Shietz was significant to the sitter.

Those written before the Spanish conquests seem all to have been single long sheets folded concertina-style, sometimes written on both sides of the local amatl paper.

Michigan State University Comic Art Collection librarian Randy Scott describes these as " large sheets of paper on which newspaper comics have traditionally been distributed to subscribing newspapers.

He also notes that with electronic means of distribution becoming more prevalent printed sheets " are definitely on their way out.

The different drawing implements can be tried on practice sheets in order to determine value and texture, and how to apply the implement in order to produce various effects.

As with the petition, the more people who get involved, the more powerful the message to governments: “ We are no longer willing to accept the fact that hundreds of millions live in chronic hunger .” Groups and individuals can also decide on their own to organize an event about the project, simply by gathering friends, whistles, t-shirts and banners ( whistles and t-shirts can be ordered, and petition sign sheets downloaded, on the endinghunger. org website ) and thereby alert people about chronic hunger by using the yellow whistle.

And if I were to draw balance sheets on where South Africa stands now, I would say that the positive outweighs the negative by far.

The core is made of stacks of thin steel sheets or laminations oriented parallel to the field, with an insulating coating on the surface.

They were printed on sheets measuring about 39 by.

The record, or a book written on sheets of gold, is passed down from one generation to another.

He focused his efforts on enclosing open and adaptable " universal " spaces with clearly arranged structural frameworks, featuring prefabricated steel shapes filled in with large sheets of glass.

Thus, liquid crystal sheets are often used in industry to look for hot spots, map heat flow, measure stress distribution patterns, and so on.

In Southeast Asia, in the first millennium, documents of sufficiently great importance were inscribed on soft metallic sheets such as copperplate, softened by refiner's fire and inscribed with a metal stylus.

In Burma, the kammavaca, Buddhist manuscripts, were inscribed on brass, copper or ivory sheets, and even on discarded monk robes folded and lacquered.

In Italy some important Etruscan texts were similarly inscribed on thin gold plates: similar sheets have been discovered in Bulgaria.

The number of sheets out of a piece of skin depends on the size of the skin and the given dimensions requested by the order.

The scribe, usually a monk, would decide on what his quire ( four folded sheets ) would look like, by arranging the hair and flesh sides of the sheets.

A book is a collection of sheets of paper, parchment or other material with a piece of text written on them, bound together along one edge within covers.

This is because the Z80 combines two full ( but short ) clock cycles into a relatively long memory access period compared to the clock, while the more asynchronous 6809 instead has relatively short memory access times: depending on version and speed grade, approximately 60 % of a single clock cycle was typically available for memory access in a 6809 ( see data sheets ).

# The so-called ' roll-to-roll '- deposition on flexible sheets is much easier to realize in terms of technological effort than deposition on fragile and heavy glass sheets.

As the boat turns through the eye of the wind, some sails such as those with a boom and a single sheet may self-tack and need only small adjustments of sheeting points, but for jibs and other sails with separate sheets on either side, the original sheet must be loosened and the opposite sheet lines hauled in and set quickly and properly for the new point of sail.

The skipper typically uses three commands when jibing: “ Prepare to jibe ” ( or " ready to jibe ") indicates that everyone should remain clear of the potential boom travel and assigned crew should be in position to handle the sails ( actually the sheets and boom ).

Sung for short hauling jobs requiring a few bursts of great force, such as changing direction of sails via lines called braces, or hauling taut the corners of sails with sheets or tacks.

In sailing, it is a mechanical device used to modify the location at which lines used to control sails ( such as sheets ) are attached to the vessel.

Square sails have sheets attached to their clews like triangular sails, but the sheets are used to pull the sail down to the yard below rather than to adjust the angle it makes with the wind.

Square sails also have tacks and sheets, although they are not a part of the sail itself.

Nevertheless, they too have sheets on the movable corners of their square sails.

Unlike fore-and-aft sheets, though, square-rig sheets do not control the angle of the sails ( which is performed using braces ); instead, they are used to haul the corners of the sails from their stowed positions down towards the tip of the yard below.

They are then not adjusted significantly while sailing until the sail is to be handed ( put away ) again. The lowest sails, Courses, are trimmed using the sheets as these sails are loose footed being secured to yards only at the head.

The term " three sheets to the wind ," meaning " staggering drunk ," refers to a ship whose sheets have come loose, causing the sails to flap uncontrolled and the ship to meander at the mercy of the elements.

The higher-level association of β sheets has been implicated in formation of the protein aggregates and fibrils observed in many human diseases, notably the amyloidoses such as Alzheimer's disease.

* In secondary structure denaturation, proteins lose all regular repeating patterns such as alpha-helices and beta-pleated sheets, and adopt a random coil configuration.

A Low-budget project, such as a locally printed office party invitation flyer, can be rearranged and printed dozens of times at the low cost of a few sheets of paper, a few drops of ink, and less than one hour's pay of a desktop publisher.

Sufficiently thin ice sheets allow light to pass through while protecting the underside from short-term weather extremes such as wind chill.

These silica tetrahedra are then polymerized to some degree to create various structures, such as one-dimensional chains, two-dimensional sheets, and three-dimensional frameworks.

Other high permeability nickel-iron alloys such as permalloy have similar magnetic properties ; mu-metal's advantage is that it is more ductile and workable, allowing it to be easily formed into the thin sheets needed for magnetic shields.

Mica is mechanically stable in micrometer-thin sheets which are relatively transparent to radiation ( such as alpha particles ) while being impervious to most gases.

Mica sheets are used to provide structure for heating wire ( such as in Kanthal or Nichrome ) in heating elements and can withstand up to.

An alternative method used by home gardeners and smaller-scale growers involves covering the growing area with organic mulches such as straw or with plastic sheets.

To form the long strip scrolls required, a number of such sheets were united, placed so all the horizontal fibres parallel with the roll's length were on one side and all the vertical fibres on the other.

This means delivery of HTML documents and any additional content that may be included by a document, such as images, style sheets and scripts.

On local scales, temperature differences can occur because different surfaces ( such as oceans, forests, ice sheets, or man-made objects ) have differing physical characteristics such as reflectivity, roughness, or moisture content.

Proline acts as a structural disruptor in the middle of regular secondary structure elements such as alpha helices and beta sheets ; however, proline is commonly found as the first residue of an alpha helix and also in the edge strands of beta sheets.

Polarizing sunglasses use a polarizing material such as Polaroid sheets to block horizontally-polarized light, preferentially blocking reflections from horizontal surfaces.

If absent or deficient of natural tissue, alternatives can be cultured sheets of epithelial cells in vitro or synthetic compounds, such as integra, which consists of silicone and bovine tendon collagen with glycosaminoglycans.

The international cloud classification system is based on the fact clouds can show free-convective upward growth like cumulus, appear in non-convective layered sheets such as stratus, or take the form of thin fibrous wisps, as in the case of cirrus.

It also depends on other factors such as the water's salinity and the volume of water locked up in ice sheets.

Flexible magnets are similar to injection-molded magnets, using a flexible resin or binder such as vinyl, and produced in flat strips, shapes or sheets.

In some materials, such as herapathite ( iodoquinine sulfate ) or Polaroid sheets, the effect is not strongly dependent on wavelength, and so the term dichroic is something of a misnomer, but still used.

In proteins, structures such as alpha helices and beta sheets are chiral, and thus absorb such light.
