If, in a certain part of the range, it starts life 1 foot longer than do any of the other ( relatively large ) giants, and reaches maturity at, let us guess, 18 inches longer than the others, a quadrupling of the maturity length would result in a maximum of ( nearly ) 40 feet.

If an isomorphism can be found from a relatively unknown part of mathematics into some well studied division of mathematics, where many theorems are already proved, and many methods are already available to find answers, then the function can be used to map whole problems out of unfamiliar territory over to " solid ground " where the problem is easier to understand and work with.

If the cities were treated as relatively autonomous local administrative areas, it would simplify the problems of imperial administration, which as far as Julian was concerned, should be focused on the administration of the law and defense of the empire's vast frontiers.

If proto-bird courtship displays combined displays of forelimb feathers with energetic jumps, then the transition from display to aerodynamic functions could have been relatively smooth.

Consider now the acceleration due to the sphere of mass M experienced by a particle in the vicinity of the body of mass m. With R as the distance from the center of M to the center of m, let ∆ r be the ( relatively small ) distance of the particle from the center of the body of mass m. For simplicity, distances are first considered only in the direction pointing towards or away from the sphere of mass M. If the body of mass m is itself a sphere of radius ∆ r, then the new particle considered may be located on its surface, at a distance ( R ± ∆ r ) from the centre of the sphere of mass M, and ∆ r may be taken as positive where the particle's distance from M is greater than R. Leaving aside whatever gravitational acceleration may be experienced by the particle towards m on account of ms own mass, we have the acceleration on the particle due to gravitational force towards M as:

If each firm's sales consist of a small number of high-value contracts, then it can make a relatively large short-term gain from cheating on the agreement and thereby winning more of these contracts.

If the impact causes the head to move, the injury may be worsened, because the brain may ricochet inside the skull causing additional impacts, or the brain may stay relatively still ( due to inertia ) but be hit by the moving skull ( both are contrecoup injuries ).

If the constraints don't couple the variables too tightly, a relatively simple attack is to change the variables so that constraints are unconditionally satisfied.

If the signal data are not constant, then can be calculated from data where the signal is zero or relatively constant .</ ref > Notice that such an alternative definition is only useful for variables that are always non-negative ( such as photon counts and luminance ).

If the next month the company made 50 coaches, then the unit cost = $ 320 per coach ($ 300 + ($ 1000 / 50 )), a relatively minor difference.

If the wet soil beneath is the major source of vapour, however ( this type of dew formation is called distillation ), wind always seems to be adverse.

If a candidate receives less than a two-thirds majority, the cardinals send up black smoke — created by burning the ballots along with wet straw and chemical additives — it means that no successful election has yet occurred.

If you draw your fingers through them they are lodged and struggle with a shock of wet heads ; the long stalks rub and click and flatten to a fan on one another like your fingers themselves would when you passed the palms hard across one another, making a brittle rub and jostle like the noise of a hurdle strained by leaning against ; then there is the faint honey smell and in the mouth the sweet gum when you bite them.

* If you take your raincoat and umbrella with you, it will be sunny — any attempt you make to control your destiny ( in this case how wet you get ) will be thwarted by fate.

Many cultures have traditional phenological proverbs and sayings which indicate a time for action: " When the sloe tree is white as a sheet, sow your barley whether it be dry or wet " or attempt to forecast future climate: " If oak's before ash, you're in for a splash.
