If a GM tube is exposed to a steady radiation source and the applied voltage increased from zero, at first the count rate increases rapidly ; at a certain voltage the rate of increase flattens out ( only changing a few per cent for every 100 volts increase ).

If we also require that the enclosed mass is equal to the known mass of the Earth ( including atmosphere ) GM = 3986005 × 10 < sup > 8 </ sup > m < sup > 3 </ sup >· s < sup >− 2 </ sup >, we obtain for the potential at the reference ellipsoid:

now wishes GM hadn't killed the plug-in hybrid EV1 prototype his engineers had on the road a decade ago: ' If we could turn back the hands of time ,' says Burns, ' we could have had the Chevy Volt 10 years earlier ,'" referring to the forthcoming plug-in hybrid car which was hailed as the spiritual and technological successor to the EV1.

If the wind blows into the mouth of a tube it causes an increase of pressure on one side of the manometer.

If the collar at the bottom of the tube is adjusted so more air can mix with the gas before combustion, the flame will burn hotter, appearing blue as a result.

If the holes are closed, the gas will only mix with ambient air at the point of combustion, that is, only after it has exited the tube at the top.

If the risk of asphyxiation is deemed to be high, doctors may use various devices ( such as an oropharyngeal airway, nasopharyngeal airway or endotracheal tube ) to safeguard the airway.

If the glass is damaged, atmospheric pressure can collapse the vacuum tube into dangerous fragments which accelerate inward and then spray at high speed in all directions.

If an evacuated glass tube is equipped with two electrodes and a voltage is applied, the glass opposite of the negative electrode is observed to glow, due to electrons emitted from and travelling perpendicular to the cathode ( the electrode connected to the negative terminal of the voltage supply ).

If you are a " perfectionist ", multiply the bore diameter by 0. 82 and subtract this value from the tube length.

If holding the guitar in the normal vertical position, it is more common to use the tube type of slide.

If the woman stands upright, the vaginal tube points in an upward-backward direction and forms an angle of slightly more than 45 degrees with the uterus.

If a visible output was needed, a second tube with a phosphor coating was used as a display device.

If correctly selected, it reaches terminal velocity, which can be measured by the time it takes to pass two marks on the tube.

If one considers the flux of the electric field vector, E, for a tube near a point charge in the field the charge but not containing it with sides formed by lines tangent to the field, the flux for the sides is zero and there is an equal and opposite flux at both ends of the tube.

It occurs because of inter-molecular attractive forces between the liquid and solid surrounding surfaces ; If the diameter of the tube is sufficiently small, then the combination of surface tension and forces of adhesion between the liquid and container act to lift the liquid.

* If the gland retains its shape as a tube throughout it is termed a tubular gland.

If the applied voltage is too high, a continuous glow discharge is formed and the tube cannot detect radiation.

If nothing were done to counteract it, ionisation could even escalate, causing a so-called current " avalanche " which if prolonged could damage the tube.

If a poor diatomic gas quencher were introduced to the tube, the positive argon ions, during their motion toward the cathode, would have multiple collisions with the quencher gas molecules and transfer their charge and some energy to them.

If it is inserted too far into the trachea ( beyond the carina ), the tip of the tracheal tube is likely to be within the right main bronchus — a situation often referred to as a " right mainstem intubation ".

If the left tube rises over the right tube, the raft is said to have flipped left over right and vice versa.

If operated from a simple power supply without current limiting, this reduction in resistance would lead to damage to the power supply and overheating of the tube electrodes.

If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

If his dancers are sometimes made to look as if they might be creatures from Mars, this is consistent with his intention of placing them in the orbit of another world, a world in which they are freed of their pedestrian identities.

If a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

If Wilhelm Reich is the Moses who has led them out of the Egypt of sexual slavery, Dylan Thomas is the poet who offers them the Dionysian dialectic of justification for their indulgence in liquor, marijuana, sex, and jazz.

If he is the child of nothingness, if he is the predestined victim of an age of atomic wars, then he will consult only his own organic needs and go beyond good and evil.

If it is an honest feeling, then why should she not yield to it??

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

If love reflects the nature of man, as Ortega Y Gasset believes, if the person in love betrays decisively what he is by his behavior in love, then the writers of the beat generation are creating a new literary genre.

If he is good, he may not be legal ; ;

If the man on the sidewalk is surprised at this question, it has served as an exclamation.

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If to be innocent is to be helpless, then I had been -- as are we all -- helpless at the start.

If we let them go, they won't stay away, they'll find men to ride with them and they'll be back.

If she, Pamela, were being held responsible for his crimes, then hers must be the final act of expiation.

If you don't leave this country within 3 days, your life will be taken the same as Powell's was.

`` If you will pardon, I think it would be better if not.

If he showed signs of collecting his rifle and going back with his deputy to the ranch he would be shot down instantly.

If communications work, his decision would be instantly known in all command posts that would originate the actual go order.

If the Union conceded this to them, the same right must be conceded to each remaining state whenever it saw fit to secede: This would destroy the federal balance between it and the states, and in the end sacrifice to the sovereignty of the states all the liberty the citizens had gained by their Union.

If an automobile were approaching him, he would know what was required of him, even though he might not be able to act quickly enough.

If life and death did not both present themselves to us, there would be no inscrutability.

If in any one calculation Ptolemy had had to invoke 83 epicycles all at once, while Copernicus never required more than one third this number, then ( in the sense obvious to Margenau ) Ptolemaic astronomy would be simpler than Copernican.

If `` Jack the Courtier '' is really to be taken as Swift, the following remark is obviously Steele's comment on Swift's change of parties and its effect on their friendship: `` I assure you, dear Jack, when I first found out such an Allay in you, as makes you of so malleable a Constitution, that you may be worked into any Form an Artificer pleases, I foresaw I should not enjoy your Favour much longer ''.
