For a brief period each year, the rays of the sun are warm enough to melt some of the snows piled a mile deep at the base of the headwalls, and then the pinnacles glisten in the daytime at high noon, and billions of gallons of water begin their slow seepage under the glaciers and across the rockstrewn hanging valleys on their long, meandering journey to the sea -- running east past the sky-carving massifs of Gurla Mandhata and Kemchenjunga, then turning south and curling down through the jungles of Assam, past the Khasi Hills, and into Bengal, past Sirinjani and Madaripur, until the hard water of the melting snows mingles with the soft drainage of fields and at length fans out to meld with the teeming salt depths of the Bay of Bengal.

For one thing, there wasn't going to be any ceremony at all this year.

For the States which maintain two separate agencies -- one for the vocational rehabilitation of the blind, and one for the rehabilitation of persons other than the blind -- the Act specifies that their minimum ( base ) allotment shall be divided between the two agencies in the same proportion as it was divided in fiscal year 1954.

For the year 2000 this means servicing ( A ) the protection requirements of a watershed producing at least 200 million acre-feet of water each year, ( B ) recreation and wildlife resources used each year by 635 million visitors, ( C ) a timber resource supporting an annual cut of 21 billion board feet, and ( D ) 60 million acres of rangelands.

For example, " biweekly " can mean " fortnightly " ( once every two weeks – 26 times a year ), or " twice a week " ( 104 times a year ).

For most of the year, aardwolves spend time in shared territories consisting of up to a dozen dens, which are occupied for six weeks at a time.

For a single year in 1949, the team performed in an all-yellow scheme with blue markings.

For the reprint editions, the year of the data is in parentheses.

For the case of a purely inertial autonavigator consisting of three restrained gyros, a coordinate system is used where the sensitive axis of the X accelerometer is parallel to the east-west direction at the base point, and the Y accelerometer sensitive axis is parallel to the north-south direction at the base point.

For a singly charged deuterium ion, the velocity would be Y ms < sup >− 1 </ sup >.

For non-integer α, Y < sub > α </ sub >( x ) is related to J < sub > α </ sub >( x ) by:

For a given point P, a line is drawn through P perpendicular to the x-axis to meet it at X and second line is drawn through P perpendicular to the y-axis to meet it at Y.

* Prediction: For every state in S ( k ) of the form ( X → α • Y β, j ) ( where j is the origin position as above ), add ( Y → • γ, k ) to S ( k ) for every production in the grammar with Y on the left-hand side ( Y → γ ).

* Completion: For every state in S ( k ) of the form ( X → γ •, j ), find states in S ( j ) of the form ( Y → α • X β, i ) and add ( Y → α X • β, i ) to S ( k ).

For example, if the temperature today, T, is 20 degrees higher than the temperature yesterday, Y, then the problem can be described algebraically as.

For example, R is an ordering ≤ and S an ordering, then an isomorphism from X to Y is a bijective function such that

For this rule to be applicable, each element y ∈ Y must correspond to no more than one x ∈ X ; a function ƒ with this property is called one-to-one, or information-preserving, or an injection.

For the inverse to be defined on all of Y, every element of Y must lie in the range of the function ƒ.

" For example, X might be " mid front rounded vowels " and Y " high front rounded vowels " ( for terminology see phonetics ).

For example: vedma, " X sells Y to P for price Q ".

For example, an X on the tape in state 3 might make the DTM write a Y on the tape, move the head one position to the right, and switch to state 5.

For example, an X on the tape in state 3 might now allow the NTM to write a Y, move right, and switch to state 5 or to write an X, move left, and stay in state 3.

For example, the eight possible orientations of the L, F, N, P, and Y pentominoes are as follows:

For example, if company A sells product X through its sales force, company B sells product Y, and company A decides to buy company B then the new company could use each sales person to sell products X and Y, thereby increasing the revenue that each sales person generates for the company.

For example, ( M, A, R, Y ) is a sequence of letters that differs from ( A, R, M, Y ), as the ordering matters, and ( 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 ), which contains the number 1 at two different positions, is a valid sequence.

For this closure is characterized in terms of limits of filter bases: if Y is a subset of X and z is a point of X, then z is in the closure of Y if and only if there exists a filter base B consisting of subsets of Y which converges to z.

For nearby astronomical objects ( such as stars in our galaxy ) luminosity distance D < sub > L </ sub > is almost identical to the real distance to the object, because spacetime within our galaxy is almost Euclidean.

For this reason, astronomical position determination – measuring the direction of the plumbline by astronomical means – works fairly well provided an ellipsoidal model of the figure of the Earth is used.

For some lunar calendars, such as the Chinese calendar, the first day of a month is the day when an astronomical new moon occurs in a particular time zone.

For the astronomer's sextant, see Sextant ( astronomical ).

For accurate astronomical work on land, it was usual to observe sidereal time rather than solar time to measure mean solar time, because the observations of ' fixed ' stars could be measured and reduced more accurately than observations of the Sun ( in spite of the need to make various small compensations, for refraction, aberration, precession, nutation and proper motion ).

For decades after the discovery of GRBs, astronomers searched for a counterpart at other wavelengths: i. e., any astronomical object in positional coincidence with a recently observed burst.

For large astronomical bodies which are near-spherical due to self-gravitation, the tidal distortion produces a slightly prolate spheroid-i. e., an axially symmetric ellipsoid that is elongated along its major axis.

For typical seeing, the practical resolution limits are at mirror sizes well within existing mechanical limits, at a mirror diameter equal to the astronomical seeing parameter r < sub > 0 </ sub >-about 20 cm in diameter for visible observations under good conditions.

For geographical and cartographical poles on astronomical bodies other than Earth, see Poles of astronomical bodies.

For many years, a growing problem in astronomical research ( as in other academic disciplines ) was that the number of papers published in the major astronomical journals was increasing steadily, meaning astronomers were able to read less and less of the latest research findings.

For example, spectrograph and spectroscope have basically the same meaning, and in an astronomical context metallicity and abundance are also synonymous.

For ten years he actively participated in the work of the Astronomical Society, contributing papers on the theory of astronomical instruments, the aberration of light, the differential sextant, and the convertible pendulum.

For most of its orbit it is even farther from the Sun than at present, with its aphelion estimated at 960 astronomical units ( 32 times Neptune's distance ), making it one of the most distant known objects in the Solar System other than long-period comets.

For example, the Guide Star Catalog II has entries on over 998 million distinct astronomical objects.

For example, an Earth-like planet at 1. 25 astronomical units from α Cen A ( with a revolution period of 1. 34 years ) would get Sun-like illumination from its primary, and α Cen B would appear 5. 7 to 8. 6 magnitudes dimmer (− 21. 0 to − 18. 2 ), 190 to 2700 times dimmer than α Cen A but still 2100 to 150 times brighter than the full Moon.

For placements where light pollution is of prime importance, such as an astronomical observatory parking lot, or a large city nearby an astronomical observatory, low pressure sodium is preferred.

For astronomical uses, reticles could be simple crosshair designs or more elaborate designs for special purposes.

For astronomical purposes, before 1925 a day was considered to start at noon rather than the previous midnight.

For his applications of IR detectors to astronomy, Coblentz is regarded as the founder of astronomical infrared spectroscopy.
