For this reason, the more uncertain skywave service was denominated `` secondary '' in our rules, as compared to the steadier, more reliable groundwave `` primary service '', and, for both skywave service and skywave interference, signal strength is expressed in terms of percentage of time a particular signal-intensity level is exceeded -- 50 percent of the time for skywave service, 10 percent of the time for skywave interference.

For this reason it is important to have a reliable and accurate method of measuring the depth of water.

For example: if five ancient historians, none of whom knew each other, all claim that Julius Caesar seized power in Rome in 49 BCE, this is strong evidence in favor of that event occurring even if each individual historian is only partially reliable.

For organic chemists, the theory of structure provided dramatic new clarity of understanding, and a reliable guide to both analytic and especially synthetic work.

For Habakkuk, however, there is no reliable account of any of these.

For the conquistadores, having a reliable interpreter was important enough, but there is evidence that Malinche's role and influence were larger still.

For this purpose he used a set of stars that had reliable parallaxes and many of which had been categorized at Harvard.

For Marcus ' life and rule, the biographies of Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus and Lucius Verus are largely reliable, but those of Aelius Verus and Avidius Cassius are full of fiction.

For most users, the most noticeable changes are: the disk space that the operating system frees up after a clean install compared to Mac OS X 10. 5 Leopard, a more responsive Finder rewritten in Cocoa, faster Time Machine backups, more reliable and user friendly disk ejects, a more powerful version of the Preview application, as well as a faster Safari web browser.

For a longer and more secure autonomy from the surface technology had to wait until the 20th century had brought stronger and reliable compressed air cylinders.

For a machine which is normally unattended precautions need to be taken to make the Wake-on-LAN function as reliable as possible.

For example, it may take only a few minutes of down time at a national stock exchange to justify the expense of entirely replacing the system with something more reliable.

For example, during the day a radio receiver in the state of Colorado is able to receive reliable but weak signals from high-power stations such as 770 KKOB, or 610 KNML 500 miles away from their towers in Albuquerque, New Mexico, due to groundwave propagation.

For such information, one must rely on a few recorded instances coupled with the reliable knowledge of the elder members of the community.

For centuries, tracheotomy was considered the only reliable method for intubation of the trachea.

For the study of English Renaissance theatre, the accounts of the Revels Office provide one of the two crucial sources of reliable and specific information from the Tudor and Stuart eras ( the other being the Register of the Stationers Company ).

For example, readings that depart from the known practice of a scribe or a given period may be deemed more reliable, since a scribe is unlikely on his own initiative to have departed from the usual practice.

For example, the continents of Africa and Asia are still largely mired in poverty and third-world conditions, without technology, secure shelter, or reliable food sources.

For example, reliable, reliable ( thiqah thiqah ), or reliable, firm ( thiqah thabt ).

For less frequent crimes such as intentional homicide and armed robbery, reported incidences are generally more reliable.

For example, if we want to produce a system that is 95 % reliable ( or improve a system to achieve 95 % reliability ), a logistics engineer understands that total system reliability can be no greater than the least reliable subsystem or component.

On the clock given him was the inscription, `` For Outstanding Contribution to Billiken Basketball, 1960-61 ''.

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

For example, a clock signal is subject to the delays of any other electrical signal.

For example, if you wanted a clock chime, you would set the drawbars at 010010603.

For instance, the NEC V20 was a pin compatible and slightly faster ( at the same clock frequency ) variant of the 8088, designed and manufactured by NEC.

For instance, if the clock shows that it is midnight in London when it is noon locally, then you are half way round the world, ( e. g. 180 degrees of longitude ) from London.

For example, getting the system time involves an IPC call to the user-space server maintaining system clock.

* For UT: at 1 January 2000, ΔT (= TT − UT ) was + 63. 83 s ; hence the correction for the clock time UT = TT − ΔT of the conjunction is:

For the purposes of this article, foot orienteering serves as a point of departure for discussion of all other variations, but basically any sport that involves racing against a clock and requires navigation using a map is a type of orienteering.

For example geochemical signatures from rocks may help to discover when life first arose on Earth, and analyses of carbon isotope ratios may help to identify climate changes and even to explain major transitions such as the Permian – Triassic extinction event .< ref name =" Twitchett "> A relatively recent discipline, molecular phylogenetics, often helps by using comparisons of different modern organisms ' DNA and RNA to re-construct evolutionary " family trees "; it has also been used to estimate the dates of important evolutionary developments, although this approach is controversial because of doubts about the reliability of the " molecular clock ".

For example, if a team is down by a field goal with only seconds remaining, a quarterback may spike the ball to prevent the game clock from running out.

For instance, a chess program designed to play in a tournament with a clock will need to decide on a move before a certain deadline or lose the game, and is therefore a real-time computation, but a chess program that is allowed to run indefinitely before moving is not.

For example, the following message, " I have sent via at two o ' clock four large hams and two small hams ", indicated that four adults and two children were sent by train from Harrisburg to Philadelphia.

For the original NMOS design, the specified upper clock frequency limit increased successively from the introductory 2. 5 MHz, via the well known 4 MHz ( Z80A ), up to 6 ( Z80B ) and 8 MHz ( Z80H ).

For a 10-MHz clock, this would be equivalent to 13 mHz RMS movement.

For two connected exchanges in a communications network, a double-ended synchronization ( also called double-ended control ) is a synchronization control scheme in which the phase error signals used to control the clock at one telephone exchange are derived by comparison with the phase of the incoming digital signal and the phase of the internal clocks at both exchanges.

For a digital clock in which hours and minutes up to a maximum of 11: 59 are displayed, the time code ambiguity would be 12 hours.

For example, for clock input, a loop process or an iterative statement is required.

For example, the following code will generate a clock with the frequency of 50 MHz.

For example, if the delay time is five seconds, and a player has four seconds left on his clock, as soon as his opponent moves, he receives the increment and has nine seconds to make a move.

For example, if the delay is five seconds, the player has ten seconds left in his clock before his turn and during his turn he spends three seconds, after he presses the clock button to indicate the end of his turn, his clock increases by only three seconds ( not five ).

For example, if the delay is five seconds, the clock waits for five seconds before counting down.
