Given an inelastic reaction with total incoming energy larger than the total detected energy ( i. e. not all outgoing particles are detected in the experiment ), the invariant mass ( also known as the " missing mass ") of the reaction is defined as follows:

Given its sharp-edged beak, huge bill and wide gape, the Shoebill can hunt quite large prey, often targeting larger prey than other large wading birds.

Given that the modern instruments all have larger diameters, it now clearly is more a saxhorn than a saxotromba.

Given a larger canvas, director Forsyth has in no way attempted to overreach himself or the material, keeping things modest and intimate throughout, but displaying a very acute sense of comic insight.

Given an m × n matrix with real entries ( or entries from any other field ) and rank r, then there exists at least one non-zero r × r minor, while all larger minors are zero.

Given the enlargement of the canal to accommodate larger shipping, it is unlikely in the foreseeable future that Panama would likely succumb to international pressure toward transparency.

Given a condition number, the relative error of compensated summation is effectively independent of n. In principle, there is the O ( nε < sup > 2 </ sup >) that grows linearly with n, but in practice this term is effectively zero: since the final result is rounded to a precision ε, the nε < sup > 2 </ sup > term rounds to zero unless n is roughly 1 / ε or larger.

Given the New York Central's axle load limits, the Pacific type could not be made any larger ; a new locomotive type would be required to carry the larger boiler that Kiefer's research indicated was needed.

Given the larger dimensions of the the Aster 30, a naval based system requires the longer tubes of the Slyver A50 or A70 vertical launching system ( VLS ).

Given a graph property P, an invariant u, and a set of graphs H, we wish to find the minimum value of m such that every graph in H which has u larger than m possess property P. In the example above, H was the set of n-vertex graphs, P was the property of being cyclic, and u was the number of edges in the graph.

Given a quasiordering for a set we can define a quasiorder on's power set by setting if and only if for each element of we can find some element of which is larger than it under.

Given an operator T, the range of the continuous functional calculus h → h ( T ) is the ( abelian ) C *- algebra C ( T ) generated by T. The Borel functional calculus has a larger range, that is the closure of C ( T ) in the weak operator topology, a ( still abelian ) von Neumann algebra.

Given that the angle of incidence is larger than the critical angle ( with respect to the normal of the surface ) and the refractive index is lower on the other side of the boundary relative to the incident ray, TIR will occur and no light will be able to pass through.

Given the total mass and the scalars r and v at a single point of the orbit, one can compute the specific orbital energy, allowing an object orbiting a larger object to be classified as having not enough energy to remain in orbit, hence being " suborbital " ( a ballistic missile, for example ), having enough energy to be " orbital ", but without the possibility to complete a full orbit anyway because it eventually collides with the other body, or having enough energy to come from and / or go to infinity ( as a meteor, for example ).

Given that data dredging efforts typically examine large datasets with many variables, and hence even larger numbers of pairs of variables, spurious but apparently statistically significant results are almost certain to be found by any such study.

Given its " blue-water " bias, the navy is even less inclined to become involved in counterdrug operations than the army or air force.

Given that a father's age is 1 less than twice that of his son, and that the digits AB making up the father's age are reversed in the son's age ( i. e. BA ), leads to the equation 19B-8A

Given that the bulk of family chores fell to women, and that they were five times more likely than men to head a single-parent family, the shortcomings of Finland's child day-care system affected women more than it did men.

On poverty, Hoover said that " Given the chance to go forward with the policies of the last eight years, we shall soon with the help of God, be in sight of the day when poverty will be banished from this nation ", and promised, " We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land ," but within months, the Stock Market Crash of 1929 occurred, and the world's economy spiraled downward into the Great Depression.

Given the same bullet and cartridge, a faster burning powder will generally use a smaller charge of powder than required with a slower powder.

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 that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy.

Given fixed resources, it is often better to spend more time collecting additional training data and more informative features than it is to spend extra time tuning the learning algorithms.

Given this reliance on literary sources, it is doubtful whether Nostradamus used any particular methods for entering a trance state, other than contemplation, meditation and incubation.

Given the immense expanse of the entire Universe, it has been argued that there is a higher probability that there exists ( or has existed ) another Earth-like planet that has yielded life ( geogenesis ) than not.

Given its dimensions ( 10, 000 kilometers in diameter ) it is more like Banks ' Culture Orbitals ( though much smaller ) than Niven's behemoth.

Given that the decree was issued at Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, rather than Alexandria, the centre of government of the ruling Ptolemies, it is evident that the young king was anxious to gain their active support.

" Given that science continually seeks to adjust its theories structurally to fit the facts, i. e., adjusts its maps to fit the territory, and thus advances more rapidly than any other field, he believed that the key to understanding sanity would be found in the study of the methods of science ( and the study of structure as revealed by science ).

Given the number of homes, it seems likely that no more than fifty people lived in Skara Brae at any given time.

Given the fact that many of the royal depictions of Akhenaten often featured such an elongated head, it is likely an exaggeration of a family trait, rather than a distinct abnormality.

Given a completely regular space X there is usually more than one uniformity on X that is compatible with the topology of X.

Given current trends in the UMC — with overseas churches growing, especially in Africa, and U. S. churches collectively losing about 1, 000 members a week — it has been estimated that Africans will make up at least 30 % of the delegates at the 2012 General Conference, and it is also possible that 40 % of the delegates will be from outside the U. S. One Congolese bishop has estimated that typical Sunday attendance of the UMC is higher in his country than in the entire United States.

Given that Conan was well established in genealogies as the founder of Brittany this certainly is connected to an older tradition than Geoffrey.
