he could feel more than hear the staccato beat of hoofs that fanned out across the prairie to the north.

If I could make myself feel the same way

Something was happening all right, slowly it is true, but you could feel it.

Here in the cool darkness Mr. Podger could still feel the warmth of midday, could still see the yellow butterflies dancing over the road, could still see the friendly grin on the young, sun-browned face as the driver looked back over his shoulder for a moment before the car streaked out of sight.

Stevie could feel himself toppling.

He could feel his own feet, iron-shod, striking repeatedly until the body was limp.

Honest I could feel the hair stand up on the back of my neck like a dog's that is going to get into a fight.

Kayabashi must feel fairly certain of his victory in order to make a visit like this, a trip which could be so easily misinterpreted by the people in the village.

and he could tell, simply by the feel of it, whether it was made of wood, iron, cloth, rubber, and so on.

Shout at Eichmann though he might, the Prosecutor could not establish that the defendant was falsifying the way he felt about Jews or that what he did feel fell into the generally recognized category of anti-Semitism.

Perhaps under the guidance of this Nazi principle one could, as Eichmann declared, feel personally friendly toward the Jews and still be their murderer.

He could feel it on his face and in his hair.

He could feel himself falling in with it and being unable to get out.

She'd say she didn't feel good on Sunday, couldn't go to church -- there'd be a little argument, but she could be stubborn -- and when the old woman had gone, quick pack the things she'd need to take, all but the dress she'd wear Monday, and take the bag down to that place in the station where you could put things in a locker overnight, for a dime.

He could feel eyes on his back.

Or you could wish your daddy would really do it -- kill Gratt Shafer like he said when you all the time, all along, could feel the nerve draining out of him like air out of a punctured tire when you are on a muddy road alone and it is raining and at night.

You feel where he is and what he sees, and at night you feel when he is asleep or with the other woman, the one that never could love him the way you do, the one who got him because she didn't particularly give a damn whether she got him or didn't.

It was foggy that evening, but the path to my house was so well grooved that I could feel my way, accustomed as I was to the dense mists that rise from the sun-warmed palisades of the river and sometimes last for days.

It seemed to him that if the Ferraros felt sure of them, could place them, it would help him to feel more sure of himself with Carla.

The only way Fiedler could get back to earth alive was to fly the pulse jet missile and land it on the airstrip.

Once this improved sensor was available, Geiger counter instruments could be produced relatively cheaply because the large output pulse required little electronic processing to give a count rate reading, which was a distinct advantage in the thermionic valve era due to valve cost and power consumption.

Ultrasonic time-domain reflectometers ( which send an ultrasonic pulse through a material and measure reflections from discontinuities ) could find flaws inside cast metal and stone objects, improving structural safety.

The maximum non-ambiguous range is the distance the pulse could travel and return before the next pulse is emitted.

A better understanding of electromagnetic pulse ( EMP ) presented new problems ; a warhead set off at high altitudes and long ranges from the defensive missiles could blind the radars, making the incoming warheads only become visible at lower altitudes.

By taking information per pulse N in bit / pulse to be the base-2-logarithm of the number of distinct messages M that could be sent, Hartley constructed a measure of the gross bitrate R as:

This could include AM, FM, ΦM ( phase modulation ) and pulse modulation.

You could feel the pulse growing as we rehearsed.

By taking information per pulse in bit / pulse to be the base-2-logarithm of the number of distinct messages M that could be sent, Hartley constructed a measure of the line rate R as:

Because gamma rays travel at the speed of light and the time of the pulse was recorded by several distant spacecraft as well as on Earth, the source of the gamma radiation could be calculated to an accuracy of about 2 arcseconds.

As a hypothermic person's heart rate may be very slow, prolonged palpation could be required before detecting a pulse.

It used as an ongoing rhythmic pulse, in a way that could be compared to the rhythm guitar in rock music.

In the absence of metal, the pulse decayed at a uniform rate, and the time it took to fall to zero volts could be accurately measured.

Also, because the water jet and electric pulse were controlled separately, the operator could check the aim before sending the shock, thus reducing the risk of hitting innocent bystanders.

He worked out standards for measuring a pulse and could use these standards to aid him in diagnosing sicknesses or diseases.

Behind this grid system, an image dissector tube ( photomultiplier type detector ) with a sensitive field of view of about 38 arc-sec diameter converted the modulated light into a sequence of photon counts ( with a sampling frequency of 1200 Hz ) from which the phase of the entire pulse train from a star could be derived.

It should be noted that subsequent modulation could in principle shorten the pulse width of such a laser further, however the measured spectral width would then be correspondingly increased.

Both Orion type thermonuclear pulse drive starships, and Daedalus type thermonuclear pulse drive starships could be built and launched towards nearby stars within a 10 light-year radius of the solar system later in the 21st century, if there is sufficient funding and political will to do this.

This conjecture was confirmed when he observed his skin to be hotter, his colour to be heightened, and his pulse quickened, whenever Stratonice came near him, while none of these symptoms occurred on any other occasion ; and accordingly he told Seleucus that his son's disease was incurable, for that he was in love, and that it was impossible that his passion could be gratified ; The king wondered what the difficulty could be, and asked who the lady was.

He could also imitate the sounds of the hoofs pounding on different surfaces: " stone, brick, clay, gravel, greensward, or when crossing bridges.

All of the early typewriter desks were extremely sturdy affairs since typewriters were not electric and could be operated only by constant pounding on the keys.

The pounding could have gradually destroyed several traditional desks.

The auditory dynamics of two roaring rocket exhausts, combined with the pounding physical effects of such intense sound waves over the short distance to the observers, made it questionable whether close observers could have differentiated the vehicle's sonic boom from the general cacophony of background noise.

Ngake could hear the waters of Raukawa Moana ( Cook Strait ) pounding to the south, and decided to escape the lake to get to it.

Hostak would break both of his hands early in the bout, as Krieger fought inside against Hostak, pounding him to the body, as Hostak found difficulty dealing with a boxer who he could not hurt.
