Given the low tensile strength of such bodies, if a fragment of an icy comet were to strike the Earth, the most likely outcome would be for it to disintegrate in the upper atmosphere, leading to an air burst explosion analogous to that of the Tunguska event.

Given that landing surfaces had previously been sandpits or low piles of matting, high jumpers of earlier years had to land on their feet or at least land carefully to prevent injury.

Given the overall low level of water tariffs in developing countries even at higher levels of consumption, most consumption subsidies benefit the wealthier segments of society.

Given low monitoring costs and skill levels on the Ford production line, such benefits ( and the decision itself ) appear particularly significant.

Given the low accelerations placed on the spacecraft while in the outer solar system, MOND may be in effect, modifying the normal gravitational equations.

Given these issues, management decided that the Cray-3 should be put on " low priority " development.

Given the diminishing cost of communication and information sharing ( by analogy to the low cost of storage and distribution, in the case of e-tailers ), long-tailed user driven innovation will gain importance for businesses.

Given the large aperture and low f-number of the lens, as well as high convergence ratios and synaptic gains, the ocelli are generally considered to be far more sensitive to light than the compound eyes.

Given the low annual daily traffic rate along this section of A-20, there are no plans for the highway to be expanded

Given the low number of AVLBs available a solution was needed to bridge these gaps quickly and cheaply and, if required, under fire.

Given a trigonometric series f ( x ) with S as its set of zeros, Cantor had discovered a procedure that produced another trigonometric series that had S ' as its set of zeros, where S ' is the set of limit points of S. If p ( 1 ) is the set of limit points of S, then he could construct a trigonometric series whose zeros are p ( 1 ).

Given a complex-valued function ƒ of a single complex variable, the derivative of ƒ at a point z < sub > 0 </ sub > in its domain is defined by the limit

The knapsack problem or rucksack problem is a problem in combinatorial optimization: Given a set of items, each with a weight and a value, determine the number of each item to include in a collection so that the total weight is less than or equal to a given limit and the total value is as large as possible.

Given a base for the topology, in order to prove convergence of a net it is necessary and sufficient to prove that there exists some point x, such that ( x < sub > α </ sub >) is eventually in all members of the base containing this putative limit.

Given an arbitrary group G, there is a related profinite group G < sup >^</ sup >, the profinite completion of G. It is defined as the inverse limit of the groups G / N, where N runs through the normal subgroups in G of finite index ( these normal subgroups are partially ordered by inclusion, which translates into an inverse system of natural homomorphisms between the quotients ).

Given a functor F: J → C ( thought of as an object in C < sup > J </ sup >), the limit of F, if it exists, is nothing but a terminal morphism from Δ to F. Dually, the colimit of F is an initial morphism from F to Δ.
