For artists whose interests necessitate precision line-work, ballpoints are an obvious attraction ; ballpoint pens allow for sharp lines not as effectively executed using a brush.

For Dunedin, George Smith Duncan further developed the Hallidie model, introducing the pull curve and the slot brake ; the former was a way to pull cars through a curve, since Dunedin's curves were too sharp to allow coasting, while the latter forced a wedge down into the cable slot to stop the car.

For example a group at MIT concluded that the planet Mesklin in Hal Clement's 1953 novel Mission of Gravity would have had a sharp edge at the equator, and a Florida high-school class calculated that in Larry Niven's 1970 novel Ringworld the topsoil would have slid into the seas in a few thousand years.

For example, when in the key of C-sharp minor or E major, F, C, G, and D contain a sharp ; adding a double accidental ( double sharp ) to F for example in this case would only raise the already sharp containing note F one half step or semitone, creating G natural, respectively.

For example, in the aforementioned key signature any note that is not F, C, G, and D will be raised by a whole step or two semitones instead of one, so an A double sharp raises the note A to the enharmonic equivalent of B.

For an optical fiber, a step-index profile is a refractive index profile characterized by a uniform refractive index within the core and a sharp decrease in refractive index at the core-cladding interface so that the cladding is of a lower refractive index.

For example, Shigella is a longstanding World Health Organization ( WHO ) target for vaccine development, and sharp declines in age-specific diarrhea / dysentery attack rates for this pathogen indicate that natural immunity does develop following exposure ; thus, vaccination to prevent this disease should be feasible.

For example, according to one anti-nuclear activist, Harvey Wasserman, the fallout caused " a plague of death and disease among the area's wild animals and farm livestock ", including a sharp fall in the reproductive rate of the region's horses and cows, reflected in statistics from Pennsylvania's Department of Agriculture, though the Department denies a link with TMI.

: Died, praising God for his gift and grace: For she bowed down to him weeping, and said “ Live ”; and her tears were shed on his faceOr ever the life in his face was shed. The sharp tears fell through her hair, and stungOnce, and her close lips touched him and clungOnce, and grew one with his lips for a space ; And so drew back, and the man was dead.

For example, using obtuse ( wide or dull ) instead of acute ( narrow or sharp ) is not a malapropism ; using obtuse ( stupid or slow-witted ) when one means abstruse ( esoteric or difficult to understand ) is.

For example, an augmented unison (" ouey ") might be called " one sharp ," and in some other pedagogies this same pitch may also simply be called " one.

For minor scales, rotate the letters counter-clockwise by 3, so that, e. g., A minor has 0 sharps or flats and E minor has 1 sharp.

For the first four seasons ( 2003 – 2006 ) after moving to San Antonio, the franchise was unable to change its old losing trend and did not make the playoffs, in sharp contrast to their current NBA counterpart, the San Antonio Spurs.

For example, if the chord is DM7 # 11, the note sung in the melody line there would be G #, or the sharp 11.

For instance the music could typically be in the key of E phrygian dominant using the notes E, F, G sharp, A, B, C, D and then have a A sharp, B, A sharp, G natural and E to create tension.

: ( For sharp cracks )

For the next two hundred years, Greek building sites witnessed a sharp drop in the weights handled, as the new lifting technique made the use of several smaller stones more practical than of fewer larger ones.

For example, bending a finger backwards away from the palm ( into extension ), pulling them away from the hand ( abduction ), compressing a finger knuckle toward the palm ( into flexion ), or twisting a finger about ( torsion ).

For instance, bending without stretching or tearing a page of paper gives an isometric embedding of the page into Euclidean space because curves drawn on the page retain the same arclength however the page is bent.

For example, a scalar field cannot produce the bending of light rays.

For Japan, the cars were literally narrowed by a few millimetres on arrival in the country in order that they fit into a lower tax bracket determined by exterior dimensions – this was done by bending the wheel arches inwards.

For non-metals, the physical effects called " field penetration " and " band bending " can make β a function of applied voltage, although – surprisingly – there are few studies of this effect.

For example, astronauts return from missions slightly younger than they would have been if they had remained on Earth, and Global Positioning System | GPS satellites work because they adjust for similar bending of spacetime to coordinate with systems on earth.

For the shape of this fountain, Helldén consulted his friend, the mathematician and artist Piet Hein, who in less than in minute found a curve with a " continuously varying bending " and immediately named it the superellipse.

For children who have difficulty bending, a long handled reacher and sock aid is recommended.

For example, the drive shafts of some sports cars replace cardan universal joints with an equivalent joint called a rag joint which works by bending rubberized fabric.

For the forming of sheet metal, such as automobile body parts, two parts may be used, one, called the punch, performs the stretching, bending, and / or blanking operation, while another part, called the die block, securely clamps the workpiece and provides similar, stretching, bending, and / or blanking operation.

For example a bending operation is performed by a bending die.

For an undulator with N periods, the brightness can be up to more than a bending magnet.

For example, the bending of bulk copper ( wire, ribbon, etc.

“ For an instant Manolios ’ s heart failed him, he turned to the door-it was closed ; he looked at the three lit lamps and, under them, the icons loaded with ex-votos: Christ, red-cheeked, with carefully combed hair, was smiling ; the Virgin Mary, bending over the child was taking no interest in what was happening under her eyes.

For a further discussion of " bending " on the harmonica, see the harmonica article.

For example, maintaining an appropriate body weight that's known not to aggravate the discs ( this varies from patient to patient ) as well as changing the way one goes about bending over for objects on the ground ( heavy or light, it doesn't matter ... all one has to do is bend in the wrong direction to invoke an episode ).
