The double bass is generally regarded as a modern descendant of the string family of instruments that originated in Europe in the 15th century, and as such has been described as a bass Violin.

" Slap style " may have influenced electric bass guitar players who, from the mid-sixties ( particularly Larry Graham of Sly and the Family Stone ), developed a technique called slap and pop that used the thumb of the plucking hand to hit the string, making a slapping sound but still letting the note ring, and the index or middle finger of the plucking hand to pull the string back so it hits the fretboard, achieving the pop sound described above.

The common IEEE formats are described in detail later and elsewhere, but as an example, in the binary single-precision ( 32-bit ) floating-point representation p = 24 and so the significand is a string of 24 bits.

By the late forties, radio stations broadcast music described as " hillbilly ," originally to describe fiddlers and string bands, but was then used to describe the traditional music of the people of the Appalachian Mountains.

Second, because it is possible to build up any space by gluing circles together in various ways, it would seem that any space described by the IIA string theory can also be seen as a different space described by the IIB theory.

This implies that the IIA string theory can identify with the IIB string theory: any object which can be described with the IIA theory has an equivalent, although seemingly different, description in terms of the IIB theory.

The current understanding is that repeating nucleosomes with intervening " linker " DNA form a 10-nm-fiber, described as " beads on a string ", and have a packing ratio of about five to ten.

This differs from the algorithm described above in which the string is processed from left to right.

Therefore, these processes are an integral part of the theory, and are described by the same dynamics that controls the string modes.

Since the 1990s, many physicists believe that 11-dimensional M-theory, which is described in many sectors by matrix string theory, in many other sectors by perturbative string theory, is the theory of everything.

With the aid of standard mathematics, the classical spring system can be described in terms of vibrational modes, which are analogous to the harmonics that occur on a stretched violin string.

The ballet writer Cyril Johnson described that " her bourrées were like a string of pearls ".

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe described chamber music ( specifically, string quartet music ) as " four rational people conversing.

Thus, Bṛhaspati is referred to as possessing a powerful bow with " Ṛta as its string " and as one prepared to " mount the chariot of Ṛta "; Agni is described as one who is " desirous of Ṛta ", one who is " Ṛta-minded " and as he who " spread Heaven and Earth by Ṛta "; the Maruts are referred to as " rejoicing in the house of Ṛta " and as " knowers of Ṛta "; Ushas is described as having been " placed at the root of Ṛta "; Varuna is praised as " having the form of Ṛta " and, along with Mitra as Mitra-Varuna, as " destroying the foes by Ṛta " and as " professing Ṛta by Ṛta ".

In 1940, it was described as " Fife ... at a valley crossroads in the midst of a thickly settled berry growing and truck-gardening district is represented by a string of markets, taverns, shops, and a large, balloon-roofed dance hall along the highway.

In his column in Physics Today, April 1992, David Mermin described Ginsparg's creation as potentially " string theory's greatest contribution to science ".

An example of a natural prosodic stress pattern is that described for French above ; stress is placed on the final syllable of a string of words ( or if that is a schwa, the next-to-final syllable ).

It is also a major plot point in the Xeelee Sequence series of books by Stephen Baxter, specifically in the book Ring where it is described as a cosmic string, artificially made into a loop creating the phenomenon of the Great Attractor.

They have been described as lining up like " beads on a string ," with their axis of rotation following the filaments around the edges of the voids.

* In the episode " 11: 59 " of Star Trek: Voyager's fifth season ( original air date: May 5, 1999 ), Earth's first self-contained ecosystem known as " The Millennium Gate " is referenced and described as one kilometer tall and having begun construction in 2001.

He was also familiar with the ' abbreviated construction ' as described by Alberti and the geometrical construction of shadows, a technique of Leonardo da Vinci.

This construction was originally described by Cundy & Rollett ( 1961 ) and later generalised by Wenninger ( 1983 ).

The publicity Hall received was due to unintended consequences ; the novel was tried for obscenity in London, a spectacularly scandalous event described as " the crystallizing moment in the construction of a visible modern English lesbian subculture " by professor Laura Doan.

For example, a construction project might be described as " in limbo " if political considerations delay its permit.

With amplification, logic gates can be cascaded in the same way that Boolean functions can be composed, allowing the construction of a physical model of all of Boolean logic, and therefore, all of the algorithms and mathematics that can be described with Boolean logic.

Later he described a theremin in the hobbyist magazine Electronics World and offered a kit of parts for the construction of the Electronic World's Theremin, which became very successful.

Vessels were of many types Their construction is vividly described in the Yukti Kalpa Taru, an ancient Indian text on shipbuilding.

Solomon is described as completing its construction, with the help of an architect, also named Hiram, and other materials, sent from King Hiram of Tyre.

The construction of the zodiac is described in Ptolemy's Almagest ( 2nd century AD ).

Champlain described the construction of Cap tourmente ( Kap toor-mont ) farm in one of his journals.

None of these are in the fields described, hence no compass and straightedge construction for these exists.

Bienvenüe's construction of the metro was widely lauded and was described admiringly as a work " worthy of the Romans ".

Berossus described the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II, the king he credits with the construction of the Hanging Gardens.

Modern engineers have put forward a plausible hypothesis for the statue construction, based on the technology of those days ( which was not based on the modern principles of earthquake engineering ), and the accounts of Philo and Pliny who both saw and described the remains.

Accounts described earthen mounds used to aid construction ; however, to reach the top of the statue would have required a mound in diameter, which exceeded the available land area, so modern engineers have proposed that the abandoned siege towers stripped down would have made efficient scaffolding.

A computer simulation of this construction indicated that an earthquake would have caused a cascading failure of the rivets, causing the statue to break up at the joints while still standing instead of breaking after falling to the ground, as described in second hand accounts.

The transfers of information described by the central dogma are faithful, deterministic transfers, wherein one biopolymer's sequence is used as a template for the construction of another biopolymer with a sequence that is entirely dependent on the original biopolymer's sequence.

* Hero described construction of the aeolipile ( a version of which is known as Hero's engine ) which was a rocket-like reaction engine and the first-recorded steam engine ( although Vitruvius mentioned the aeolipile in De Architectura some 100 years earlier than Hero ).

Turing described such a construction in complete detail in his 1936 paper:

Their plan, or construction, of a pile of mountains atop which they would confront the gods is described differently according to the author ( including Homer, Vergil, and Ovid ), and occasionally changed by translators.

For larger guns an electric primer is used, the internal construction and action of which are precisely similar to the wireless tube already described ; the exterior is screwed for the case.

This enabled a curve to be described using an equation rather than an elaborate geometrical construction.
