If the slope grew steeper and the groves more dim, she tried not to heed.

If a child watched its progress he whispered, `` Hay, hay, load of hay -- make a wish and turn away '', and then stared rigidly in the opposite direction until the sound of the horses' feet returned no more.

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 you cut down these horrible buildings you'll have no more traffic jams.

If you had screamed right there in the street where we stood, I could not have felt more fear.

If anything, the conservative Democrats were more opposed to Hearst than the Republicans.

If the hardships of the winter at Valley Forge were trying for healthy men, they were, of course, much more so for those not in good health.

If his circumspection in regard to Philip's sensibilities went so far that he even refused to grant a dispensation for the marriage of Amadee's daughter, Agnes, to the son of the dauphin of Vienne -- a truly peacemaking move according to thirteenth-century ideas, for Savoy and Dauphine were as usual fighting on opposite sides -- for fear that he might seem to be favoring the anti-French coalition, he would certainly never take the far more drastic step of ordering the return of Gascony to Edward, even though, as he admitted to the English ambassadors, he had been advised that the original cession was invalid.

If an atom bomb in 1945 could destroy an entire city surely the atomic arsenal we now have is more than adequate to fulfill any military objective required of it.

If only this could be done more often -- with such heartening results -- many of the earth's `` big problems '' would shrink to the insignificances they really are.

If we make it established custom that whenever butchery on the highways grows excessive, say beyond 25,000 per annum, then somebody is going to hang, it follows that the more eminent the victim, the more impressive the lesson.

If he wanted to know anything, he would end up asking about it point-blank, but in this guileless manner he would probably receive more truthful answers than if he tried to get them by indirection.

`` If I catch you one more time down here without stockings '' --

If they feel that we are taking a long-term view of their problems and are prepared to enter into reasonably long-term association with them in their development activities, they will be much more likely to undertake the difficult tasks required.

If the resulting difference for the particular State is less or more than these extremes, the State's allotment percentage must be raised or lowered to the appropriate extreme.

If the resulting difference for the particular State is less or more than these extremes, the State's Federal share must be raised or lowered to the appropriate extreme.

If your child is under 19 or is a student you may also claim an exemption for him if he qualifies as your dependent, even though he earns $600 or more.

If the plants are cared for and protected over the winter, the second year is more prolific than the first.

If our national interest lies in being able to fight and win a war rather than committing national suicide, then we must take a much more penetrating look at ballistic missiles.

If we stop thinking in terms of tremendous multimegaton nuclear weapons and consider employing much smaller nuclear weapons which may be more appropriate for most important military targets, it would seem that the B-52 or B-70 could carry a great many small nuclear weapons.

If we could use all the small airfields we have in this country, we could disperse our strategic aircraft by a factor of 10 or more.

If the superintendents do not receive more cooperation from Handlers, it has been suggested that licensed Judges also be qualified to judge this Class.

If your state has no provisions for the numbering of pleasure boats, you must apply for a number from the U.S. Coast Guard for any kind of boat with mechanical propulsion rated at more than 10 horsepower before it can be used on Federal waterways.

If notched for the battens, they would require more work, be weakened and limber holes would have to be bored so that bilge water could flow through.

If the number of errors within a code word exceeds the error-correcting code's capability, it fails to recover the original code word.

: Example 7: If the SNR is 1 times expressed as a ratio, corresponding to 0 decibel, the link spectral efficiency can not exceed 1 ( bit / s )/ Hz for error-free detection ( assuming an ideal error-correcting code ) according to Shannon-Hartley regardless of the modulation and coding.

If one adopts originalism as an " error-correcting lens which fits over textualism to account for the passage of time ," one cannot adopt an originalist theory which is incoherent with the underlying textualism.

If the program hasn't halted yet, then it never will, since its contribution to the halting probability would affect the first N bits.

If the affected bits are independently chosen at random, the probability of a two-bit error being undetected is 1 / n.

If the palette is only 64 colors ( so color indexes are 6 bits wide ), the symbols can range from 0 to 63, and the symbol width can be taken to be 6 bits, with codes starting at 7 bits.

If each character is stored in 8 bits ( as in ASCII or ISO Latin 1 ), the table has only 2 < sup > 8 </ sup > = 256 entries ; in the case of Unicode characters, the table would have 17 × 2 < sup > 16 </ sup > = 1114112 entries.

If the units b are single bits, then F ( S, b ) could be, for instance

If there are no more-significant bits, then take the value of the current bit position.

If all the non-zero bits were counted, then the intermediate result register now holds the final result.

If these bits are known ahead of transmission ( to be a certain value with absolute probability ), logic dictates that no information has been transmitted.

If, however, each is equally and independently likely to be 0 or 1, 1000 bits ( in the information theoretic sense ) have been transmitted.

If we compress data in a manner that assumes q ( X ) is the distribution underlying some data, when, in reality, p ( X ) is the correct distribution, the Kullback – Leibler divergence is the number of average additional bits per datum necessary for compression.

If the low-order bit is 0, the remaining 7 bits of the DSAP specify an individual address, which refers to a single local service access point ( LSAP ) to which the packet should be delivered.

If the low-order bit is 1, the remaining 7 bits of the DSAP specify a group address, which refers to a group of LSAPs to which the packet should be delivered.

If a compression scheme is lossless — that is, you can always recover the entire original message by uncompressing — then a compressed message has the same quantity of information as the original, but communicated in fewer bits.

If the alphabet consists of alternative symbols, each symbol represents a message consisting of N bits.

Alice could send bits to Bob in the following way: If Alice wishes to transmit a " 0 ", she measures the spin of her electron in the z direction, collapsing Bob's state to either or.

If all those bits are Equal to zero, skip the next instruction ; and in any case, replace those bits by their boolean complement.

If an eavesdropper intercepts the two bits, she may know exactly what Bob needs to do in order to recover the desired state.

If the sender has nothing more to send, the line simply remains in the marking state ( as if a continuing series of stop bits ) until a later space denotes the start of the next character.

If N bits are conveyed per symbol, and the gross bit rate is R, inclusive of channel coding overhead, the symbol rate f < sub > s </ sub > can be calculated as:

If there are no remaining input bits, the encoder continues output until all registers have returned to the zero state.

If an odd number of bits is changed in transmission, the message will change parity and the error can be detected at this point.

If the number of bits changed is even, the check bit will be valid and the error will not be detected.
