If anyone thought of the John Harvey, it was to observe that she was straddled by a pair of ships heavily laden with high explosive and if they were hit the John Harvey would likely be blown up with her own ammo and whatever else it was that she carried.

If explosive they are known more specifically as shells or mortar bombs.

If massive exsolution occurs when magma heads upwards during a volcanic eruption, the resulting eruption is usually explosive.

If air near the surface becomes extremely warm and unstable, its upward motion can become quite explosive resulting in towering clouds that can break through the tropopause or cause severe weather.

If the detonation does not occur exactly as planned, such as in the case of a misfire, a nuclear reaction is unlikely to occur-the explosion will be no greater than the amount of conventional explosive ( although radioactive material — the unreacted nuclear fuel — may be dispersed ).

If group reactivity is followed, this element would react violently in air to form an oxide ( UbnO ), in water to form the hydroxide, which would be a strong base and highly explosive in terms of flammability, and with the halogens to form salts ( such as UbnCl < sub > 2 </ sub >).

If the car is left unattended, this can lead to several risks: an explosive device may be attached to the car ; an electronic " bug " may be attached to the car ; the car may be sabotaged ; or city parking officials may simply tow away the vehicle or place a wheel lock on the tire.

If a fire catches, it could spread, taking in adjacent buildings that would have been largely unaffected by a high explosive bomb.

If these 32 lenses could be replaced with only two, the high explosive sphere could become an ellipsoid ( prolate spheroid ) with a much smaller diameter.

If there is a shortage of oxygen ( anaerobic exercise, explosive movements ), carbohydrate is consumed more rapidly because the pyruvate ferments into lactate.

If the use of lethal explosive devices is deemed to be unsuitable, it is easy to emplace trip-flares in and around the wire obstacle in order to make night-time infiltration harder.

If we focus the review on small components of the whole, in this case the elements oxygen and hydrogen, we come to the conclusion that hydrogen is an explosive gas and oxygen is a catalyst in combustion.

If the stationary state is unstable, then any fluctuation will almost surely trigger the virtually explosive departure of the system from the unstable stationary state.

If the player character has drunk Soulstorm Brew, they will be able to possess their own fart, which can then be used as a flying explosive and will detonate either when control is abandoned, or after a period of time.

If the contents of the shipment are discovered at any time, the consequences are explosive.

If water were to enter a volcanic vent that is erupting basaltic lava, it may create a massive explosive eruption.

If early explosive activity happened at Alba Mons, the evidence ( in the form of extensive ash deposits ) is largely buried by younger basaltic lavas.

If an explosive is too sensitive, it may go off unexpectedly, so most commercial explosives are formulated to be stable and safe to handle and will not explode if accidentally dropped, mishandled, or exposed to fire.

If the tool used to crimp the cap is used too close to the explosives, the primary explosive compound can detonate during crimping.

If energy is deposited at a single point, it can radiate away in the explosive in all directions in rarefaction or expansion waves, and only a small volume is efficiently heated or compressed.

If a person has in his possession or control the ingredients to make an explosive device, he can be charged with constructive possession of that device.

If given the opportunity, individual Wraith will self-destruct rather than be captured, using a powerful explosive device built into their armor.

If made of uranium — and it usually is — it can capture neutrons produced by the fusion reaction and undergo fission itself, increasing the overall explosive yield.

If the last fission stage is omitted, by replacing the uranium tamper with one made of lead, for example, the overall explosive force is reduced by approximately half but the amount of fallout is relatively low.

If an antibody is developed to stabilize a molecule that's similar to an unstable intermediate of another ( potentially unrelated ) reaction, the developed antibody will enzymatically bind to and stabilize the intermediate state, thus catalyzing the reaction.

If a diatomic molecule consists of two atoms of the same element, such as H < sub > 2 </ sub > and O < sub > 2 </ sub >, then it is said to be homonuclear, but otherwise it is heteronuclear.

If the ether is part of a more complex molecule, it is described as an alkoxy substituent, so-OCH < sub > 3 </ sub > would be considered a " methoxy -" group.

If the molecule is symmetrical, e. g. N < sub > 2 </ sub >, the band is not observed in the IR spectrum, but only in the Raman spectrum.

If inversion through the center of symmetry in a molecule results in the same phases for the molecular orbital, then the MO is said to have gerade, g, symmetry.

If inversion through the center of symmetry in a molecule results in a phase change for the molecular orbital, then the MO is said to have ungerade, u, symmetry.

* If the molecule has some symmetry, the degenerate atomic orbitals ( with the same atomic energy ) are grouped in linear combinations ( called symmetry-adapted atomic orbitals ( SO )), which belong to the representation of the symmetry group, so the wave functions that describe the group are known as symmetry-adapted linear combinations ( SALC ).

If the carbonyl is at position 1 ( that is, n or m is zero ), the molecule begins with an formyl group H ( C = O )-, and is technically an aldehyde.

If the molecule can be rotated in space so that the directions of those four groups match those of the analog groups in-glyceraldehyde's C2, then the isomer receives the '-' prefix.

If the biologically active molecule chosen for PET is FDG, an analogue of glucose, the concentrations of tracer imaged then give tissue metabolic activity, in terms of regional glucose uptake.

If the struck molecule is DNA it can show a spontaneous mutation.

If the potential energy is set to zero at infinite distance from the atomic nucleus or molecule, the usual convention, then bound electron states have negative potential energy.

If an atom, ion, or molecule is at the lowest possible energy level, it and its electrons are said to be in the ground state.

If the final vibrational state of the molecule is more energetic than the initial state, then the emitted photon will be shifted to a lower frequency in order for the total energy of the system to remain balanced.

If we define the exobase as the height at which upward traveling molecules experience one collision on average, then at this position the mean free path of a molecule is equal to one pressure scale height.

If the adsorbate has a unity sticking coefficient, so that every molecule which reaches the surface sticks to it without re-evaporating, then the monolayer time is very roughly:

If some force is acting on the elastic cantilever ( for example because some molecule is being stretched between the surface and the tip ), this will deflect upward ( repulsive force ) or downward ( attractive force ).

If the union is between atoms or groups of the same molecule, the reaction is termed intramolecular condensation, and in many cases leads to ring formation.

If an inducer molecule is present, it binds to the repressor and changes its conformation so that it is unable to bind to the operator.

If the adsorbate molecule in the precursor state is in close proximity to an adsorbate molecule which has already formed on the surface, it has a sticking probability reflected by the size of the S < sub > E </ sub > constant and will either be adsorbed from the precursor state at a rate of k < sub > EC </ sub > or will desorb into the gaseous phase at a rate of k < sub > ES </ sub >.

If an adsorbate molecule enters the precursor state at a location that is remote from any other previously adsorbed adsorbate molecules, the sticking probability is reflected by the size of the S < sub > D </ sub > constant.

If the TCR is specific for that antigen, it binds to the complex of the Class I MHC molecule and the antigen and the T cell destroys the cell.
