The working class is sometimes separated into those who are employed but lacking financial security, and an underclass — those who are long-term unemployed and / or homeless, especially those receiving welfare from the state.

Those who have given up looking for work ( and sometimes those who are on Government " retraining " programs ) are not officially counted among the unemployed, even though they are not employed.

Legend and romance have combined to exaggerate the sinister reputation of the Fehmic courts ; but modern historical research has largely discounted this, proving that they never employed torture, that their sittings were only sometimes secret, and that their meeting-places were always well known.

Experiments are often composed of several identical trials, and sometimes experiments themselves are repeated.

Fuller financed some of his experiments with inherited funds, sometimes augmented by funds invested by his collaborators, one example being the Dymaxion car project.

Among the experiments of earlier centuries, scrolls were sometimes unrolled horizontally, as a succession of columns.

At the time the EPR article was written, it was known from experiments that the outcome of an experiment sometimes cannot be uniquely predicted.

In some experiments, if a section of a leaf was torn away after the first photograph, a faint image of the missing section would sometimes remain when a second photograph was taken.

But although experiments can sometimes work best when they ‘ fail ’ because they refute a theory, often, as here, the failure of a single specific design does not refute every possible instantiation of a principle: Velociraptor might not have applied the major force parallel to the skin initially ; once through the skin, the blade dynamic needn ’ t have slashed the hide to cause extensive damage beneath ; and when the hide was cut, it would have been through stretching and pulling out, avoiding rumpling.

In addition, sputtering is sometimes used with Auger spectroscopy to perform depth profiling experiments.

The term " experiment " usually implies a controlled experiment, but sometimes controlled experiments are prohibitively difficult or impossible.

In the invasion trope, fictional aliens contacting Earth tend to either observe ( sometimes using experiments ) or invade, rather than help the population of Earth acquire the capacity to participate in interplanetary affairs.

Deadblow sometimes appears as a " guest Mythbuster ," assisting Grant with various experiments.

Documents released to the news media by the animal rights organization Uncaged Campaigns showed that, between 1994 and 2000, wild baboons imported to the UK from Africa by Imutran Ltd, a subsidiary of Novartis Pharma AG, in conjunction with Cambridge University and Huntingdon Life Sciences, to be used in experiments that involved grafting pig tissues, suffered serious and sometimes fatal injuries.

He spent a good deal of his time in the U. S. during this period, continuing to release singles and albums which, while less popular to the masses, were full of unusual lyrics and sometimes eccentric musical experiments.

A sounding rocket, sometimes called a research rocket, is an instrument-carrying rocket designed to take measurements and perform scientific experiments during its sub-orbital flight.

Computer-controlled experiments are sometimes also erroneously referred to as double-blind experiments, since software may not cause the type of direct bias between researcher and subject.

** There have been experiments with making released air or gas come out through a diffuser, to break the bubbles up ; this may sometimes work with the small amounts of gas that are sometimes released by rebreathers, but open-circuit scuba releases so much gas at every breath that a diffuser large enough to handle it without making breathing difficult would be too bulky and would interfere with streamlining.

In some experiments, subjects are required to watch video scenarios ( either staged or authentic ) and to make written responses which are then assessed for their levels of empathy ( e. g. Geher, Warner and Brown, 2001 ); scenarios are sometimes also depicted in printed form ( e. g. Mehrabian and Epstein, 1972 ).

From an interview with Richard Burbank Wuorinen is quoted as saying, " What I did at Bell Labs ( with Mark Liberman ) was to try various experiments in which strings of pseudo-random material, usually pitches but sometimes other things, were generated and then subjected to traditional types of compositional organization, including twelve-tone procedures.

For instance, one of the main characters of the Fringe TV series is a scientist who experiments with hallucinogens and isolation tanks, sometimes together, to overcome what would otherwise be physical boundaries to travel or awareness.
