The second choice, full testing, has become even more risky just because the current Soviet tests have already dangerously contaminated the atmosphere.

The exact choice of quiescent current, the standing current through both devices when there is no signal, makes a large difference to the level of distortion ( and to the risk of thermal runaway, that may damage the devices ); often the bias voltage applied to set this quiescent current has to be adjusted with the temperature of the output transistors ( for example in the circuit at the beginning of the article the diodes would be mounted physically close to the output transistors, and chosen to have a matched temperature coefficient ).

It is difficult to compare the protocols in their current form ; the individual client choice will probably have as much an effect to an end user on either network.

These include the choice over whether to adopt a current standard, or move towards a more neutral, but artificial one.

Because the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center, the body responsible for cataloguing minor planets in the Solar System, makes the distinction, the current editorial choice for Wikipedia articles on the trans-Neptunian region is to make this distinction as well.

Changing the grid voltage will change the plate current ; by suitable choice of a plate load resistor, amplification is obtained.

In exchange for Russian support, he agreed to give up any remaining Polish claims to Livonia, and promised to Anna of Russia her choice of successor to the Duchy of Courland, a Polish fief ( of which she had been duchess prior to her ascension to the Russian throne ) which would have otherwise come under direct Polish rule on the death of the current duke, Ferdinand Kettler, who had no heirs.

Most etiquette and fashion guides of the current decade recommend keeping color touches and favoring a single color, usually dark ; muted reds, such as maroon, are a traditional choice.

In most current networking environments, RIP is not the preferred choice for routing as its time to converge and scalability are poor compared to EIGRP, OSPF, or IS-IS ( the latter two being link-state routing protocols ), and ( without RMTI ) a hop limit severely limits the size of network it can be used in.

In non-random inactivation this choice appears to be fixed and current evidence suggests that the maternally inherited gene may be imprinted.

As a fiery god of destruction and war, Nergal doubtless seemed an appropriate choice for the red planet, and he was equated by the Greeks either to the combative demigod Heracles ( Latin Hercules ) or to the war-god Ares ( Latin Mars ) -- hence the current name of the planet.

Realizing his error, Pwyll has no choice but to honor his promise to Gwawl, which is to give him Rhiannon, the feast, and the current wedding preparations.

* branch was the first to support enclosures, making it the current leading choice for podcasting, and is the format supported for that use by iTunes and other podcasting software ; however, an enclosure extension is now available for the RSS 1.

Additionally, MOSFET resistance is typically lower for smaller blocking voltages meaning that the choice between IGBTs and power MOSFETS depend on both the blocking voltage and current involved in a particular application, as well as the different switching characteristics mentioned above.

* Sean Doolittle ( born 1986 ), baseball standout at the University of Virginia and 1st round draft choice and current minor league first baseman in the Oakland Athletics system.

The small boats without skilled crews, the strong current and poor choice of landing site on the north bank meant that of the 315 men who embarked, only a handful reached the British lines on the other side.

The dependency is such that the choice between the previous and current solution is almost random when T is large, but increasingly selects the better or " downhill " solution ( for a minimization problem ) as T goes to zero.

An evolutionary psychology perspective is that many of the seeming limitations in rational choice can be explained as being rational in the context of maximizing biological fitness in the ancestral environment but not necessarily in the current one.

The current drug of choice for therapy is diethylcarbamazine ( DEC ), though ivermectin use is not unwarranted.

A much simplified way of thinking about this time is in a model where our universe's history repeats itself arbitrarily many times due to properties of statistical mechanics, this is the time scale when it will first be somewhat similar ( for a reasonable choice of " similar ") to its current state again.

This puts China in a dilemma of endangering their foreign affairs with Mongolia for the choice of the next Lama or to forfeit this right that they claim to have control of religious affair, ultimately giving up their authority over the choice of the next dalai lama and putting their current choice of panchen lama in question.
