When the historian encounters a situation in which he can perceive no visible cause and effect sequence, he should be alert to intuition and unconscious instinct as possible guides.

But during nighttime hours the skywave radiations are reflected from the ionosphere, thereby creating the possibility of one station's rendering service, via skywave, at a much greater distance than it can through its groundwave signal, and at the same time vastly complicating the interference problem because of the still greater distance over which these skywave signals may cause interference to the signals of stations on the same and closely adjacent frequencies.

Ionizing radiation can cause the destruction of microorganisms and insects involved in food spoilage or, at lower doses, can inhibit their action.

But the machine quack can cause far more than just suffering.

Badly placed teeth can also cause such a speech handicap as lisping.

No matter how well work is planned, bad weather or unexpected setbacks can cause extra work that must be caught up.

When a molten metal is mixed with another substance, there are two mechanisms that can cause an alloy to form, called atom exchange and the interstitial mechanism.

Such modifications can also determine the localization of the protein, e. g., the addition of long hydrophobic groups can cause a protein to bind to a phospholipid membrane.

If the weight is suspended off the seabed it acts as a spring or shock absorber to dampen the sudden actions that are normally transmitted to the anchor and can cause it to dislodge and drag.

He reasons that, i ) if we knew the nature of this power, then the mind-body divide would seem totally unmysterious to us ; ii ) if we had immediate knowledge of this mysterious power, then we would be able to intuitively explain why it is that we can control some parts of our bodies ( e. g., our hands or tongues ), and not others ( e. g., the liver or heart ); iii ) we have no immediate knowledge of the powers which allow an impulse of volition to create an action ( e. g., of the " muscles, and nerves, and animal spirits " which are the immediate cause of an action ).

The arrow's manufacturer ( a " fletcher ") can arrange fletching to cause the arrow to rotate along its axis.

Premultiplied alpha has some practical advantages over normal alpha blending because premultiplied alpha blending is associative and linear interpolation gives better results, although premultiplication can cause a loss of precision and, in extreme cases, a noticeable loss of quality.

Other medications that are not usually called antidepressants, including antipsychotics in low doses and benzodiazepines, may be used to manage depression, although the use of benzodiazepines can cause a physical dependence.

Stopping benzodiazepine treatment abruptly can cause unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.

Another extrinsic pathway for initiation identified in several toxin studies is an increase in calcium concentration within a cell caused by drug activity, which also can cause apoptosis via a calcium binding protease calpain.

Excess calcium from supplements, fortified food and high-calcium diets, can cause milk-alkali syndrome, which has serious toxicity and can be fatal.

Chelation of tetracycline with aluminium hydroxide can cause nausea, vomiting, and phosphate excretion, resulting in phosphate deficiency.

There are certainly large areas of understanding in the human sciences which in themselves and even without political invention can help to dispel our present fears.

The completeness of the connections provide that, for N people, there are Af lines of communication between the pairs, which can become a large number ( 1,225 ) for a party of fifty guests.

Sometimes she can -- to a large extent -- help him overcome them.

conduct engineering research and technical development work to determine, by laboratory and pilot plant testing, the results of the research and studies aforesaid in order to develop processes and plant designs to the point where they can be demonstrated on a large and practical scale ; ;

It has also been observed, in helium 2, that large discrepancies can exist between surface vapor pressures and those pressures measured by a vapor pressure thermometer.

During nighttime hours, because of the intense skywave propagation then prevailing, no large number of stations can be permitted to operate on one of these channels, if the wide area service for which these frequencies are assigned is to be rendered satisfactorily by the dominant stations which must be relied upon to render it.

Additional class 2, assignments for daytime operation can be made without causing destructive interference to the class 1, stations or to each other, and by their operation provide additional service on these channels and additional local outlets for a large number of communities.

1 large onion, chopped fine 2 tablespoons salad oil 1 8-oz. can crushed pineapple and 1/2 cup of the juice 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons vinegar 1 tablespoon prepared mustard 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce pineapple chunks

Youngsters can sleep or amuse themselves safely in the large cabin which has 5-foot 11-inch headroom, bunks for three, galley and marine toilet.

The adjustable fly cutter is very useful for cutting large diameter holes and can be used to cut exact-size discs by reversing the cutter blade.

If tyrosine and a system generating hydrogen peroxide are added to a cell-free homogenate of the thyroid, large quantities of free mono-iodotyrosine can be formed ( Alexander, 1959 ).

The effect of drugs that act on the iodide-concentrating mechanism can be counteracted by addition of relatively large amounts of iodine to the diet.

The thing can be made to look like the cluttered attic of a large and vigorous family -- a motley jumble of discarded objects, some outworn and some that were never useful, some once whole and bright but now chipped and tarnished, some odd pieces whose history no one remembers, here and there a gem, everything fascinating because it suggests some part of the human condition -- the whole adding up to nothing more than a glimpse into the disorderly history of the makers and users.

Blind students also complete mathematical assignments using a braille-writer and Nemeth code ( a type of braille code for mathematics ) but large multiplication and long division problems can be long and difficult.

Unlike its relatives, the aardwolf does not hunt large animals ; instead it eats insects, mainly termites-one aardwolf can eat about 200, 000 termites during a single night by using its long, sticky tongue to capture them.

They are herbaceous perennials with bulbs, and can be identified by their rather fleshy leaves, usually large and attractive flowers, with six stamens and an inferior ovary.

The plant structure includes a tap root, which can be large enough to be useful in food, as with parsnips ( Pastinaca sativa ), carrots ( Daucus carota ), and Hamburg parsley ( Petroselinum crispum ).

More indirectly, Christie ’ s famous character of Hercule Poirot can be compared to an archaeologist in his detailed scrutiny of all facts both large and small.

A key problem in the design of good algorithms for this problem is that formulas for the variance may involve sums of squares, which can lead to numerical instability as well as to arithmetic overflow when dealing with large values.

This algorithm is often more numerically reliable than the naïve algorithm for large sets of data, although it can be worse if much of the data is very close to but not precisely equal to the mean and some are quite far away from it.

With two or more equally determined players, this can result in a " bidding war " where the attribute is driven up by increments to large sums.

In fact, it can be any positive integer, but for reasons discussed below, large numbers are seldom encountered.

The color of amethyst has been demonstrated to result from substitution by irradiation of trivalent iron ( Fe < sup > 3 +</ sup >) for silicon in the structure, in the presence of trace elements of large ionic radius, and, to a certain extent, the amethyst color can naturally result from displacement of transition elements even if the iron concentration is low.

However, this is not required ; endothermic reactions can proceed spontaneously if the TΔS term is large enough.
