If, for some reason such as economy, we are not going to develop aircraft nuclear propulsion with a sense of national urgency, then we should turn our effort to developing jet engines with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 12 or 15 to one.

If you don't own a planer and don't want to buy one, it's well worth renting.

Note: If 1/2-inch panel board is used inside and out, or 5/8-inch one side and 3/8-inch the other, and 1/8-inch glass is used, stock lumber in Af, Af, and Af can be used in making the glass panels.

If the partition is removed, some molecules of A move towards the region occupied by B, their number depends on the number of molecules at the point considered.

If there were two large programs ready to run, one would have to wait until the other finished and vacated the large partition.

If each mode received an equal partition of energy, the short wavelength modes would consume all the energy.

The first stage of boot loaders located on fixed disks and removable drives must fit into the first 446 bytes of the Master Boot Record in order to leave room for the default 64-byte partition table with four partition entries and the two-byte boot signature, which the BIOS requires for a proper boot loader — or even less, when additional features like more than four partition entries ( up to 16 with 16 bytes each ), a disk signature ( 6 bytes ), a disk timestamp ( 6 bytes ), an Advanced Active Partition ( 18 bytes ) or special multi-boot loaders If an active partition is found, the MBR code loads the boot sector code from that partition, known as Volume Boot Record ( VBR ), and executes it.

If there is no active partition, or the active partition's boot sector is invalid, the MBR may load a secondary boot loader which will select a partition ( often via user input ) and load its boot sector, which usually loads the corresponding operating system kernel.

If there is more than one extended partition in a partition table, only the logical drives in the first recognized extended partition type are processed.

If ever an experiment is performed with these gases that yields incorrect results, we will certainly have discovered a method of detecting their difference and recalculating the entropy increase when the partition is removed.

If the partition functions of the sub-systems are ζ < sub > 1 </ sub >, ζ < sub > 2 </ sub >, ..., ζ < sub > N </ sub >, then the partition function of the entire system is the product of the individual partition functions:

If the sub-systems have the same physical properties, then their partition functions are equal, ζ < sub > 1 </ sub >

If the sub-systems are actually identical particles, in the quantum mechanical sense that they are impossible to distinguish even in principle, the total partition function must be divided by a N!

If the first partition is FAT32, and over about one gigabyte, all that will get overwritten is the MBR, the partition table, the boot sector of the first partition and the first copy of the FAT of the first partition.

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 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.
