If they express much more than this, they are usually considered to be a hardware description language such as Verilog, VHDL, or any one of several specific languages designed for input to simulators.

" If he replies with the word " Accepto ", his reign begins at that instant, not at the inauguration ceremony several days afterward.

If any player declared " swing ", then that player must have both the high and low hands to take any part of the pot, though there are several rule variations covering the specifics.

* If leather on the side of a shoe is scored by several parallel cuts, it was caused by someone who scraped around the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud.

If such a marker was run on one lane in the gel parallel to the unknown samples, the bands observed can be compared to those of the unknown in order to determine their size.

If NAA is conducted directly on irradiated samples it is termed Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis ( INAA ).

If a child is not screened during the routine newborn screening test ( typically performed 2-7 days after birth, using samples drawn by neonatal heel prick ), the disease may present clinically with seizures, albinism ( excessively fair hair and skin ), and a " musty odor " to the baby's sweat and urine ( due to phenylacetate, one of the ketones produced ).

If all are unique, then counts the number of unique values, and counts the number of samples.

If these form a straight line then the samples are consistent, and the age probably reliable.

If a signal contains a component at exactly B hertz, then samples spaced at exactly 1 /( 2B ) seconds do not completely determine the signal, Shannon's statement notwithstanding.

If taking the time-series and skipping past n − 1 samples a new ( shorter ) time-series would occur with τ < sub > 0 </ sub > as the time between the adjacent samples, for which the Allan variance could be calculated with the simple estimators.

If there are a number of independent random samples, then the joint log-likelihood will be the sum of individual log-likelihoods, and the derivative of this sum will be a sum of derivatives of each individual log-likelihood:

If a mesh covers more pixels in screen space than it has vertices, interpolating colour values from samples of expensive lighting calculations at vertices is less processor intensive than performing the lighting calculation for each pixel as in Phong shading.

If is too small the chain will mix slowly ( i. e., the acceptance rate will be high but successive samples will move around the space slowly and the chain will converge only slowly to ).

If renal glycosuria ( sugar excreted in the urine despite normal levels in the blood ) is suspected, urine samples may also be collected for testing along with the fasting and 2 hour blood tests.

If a single unit is clicked four or more times in a row, the unit's voice samples become increasingly comical.

If parasitic effects are significant, point-to-point wiring has the disadvantage compared to a PCB of indeterminate parasitic components ; while the inductance and capacitance due to a PCB are the same for all samples, values may vary between point-to-point wired units, changing circuit operation.

According to Dr. Gill who conducted the tests, " If you accept that these samples came from Anna Anderson, then Anna Anderson could not be related to Tsar Nicholas or Tsarina Alexandra.

If a piece of music is sampled at 32000 samples per second ( sps ), any frequency components above 16000 Hz ( the Nyquist frequency ) will cause aliasing when the music is reproduced by a digital to analog converter ( DAC ).

If sampled at a high enough rate, determined by the bandwidth, the original function can in theory be perfectly reconstructed from the infinite set of samples.

If a port house decides that its wine is of quality sufficient for a vintage, samples are sent to the IVDP for approval and the house declares the vintage.

If focusing haplogroup O-P31 in those researches, the patrilines derived from its subclade O-SRY465 are frequently found in both Japanese ( mean 32 %, with frequency in various samples ranging from 26 % to 36 %) and Koreans ( mean 30 %, with frequency in various samples ranging from 19 % to 40 %).

If samples are kept, they should be placed away from minerals that can be damaged by radiation.

If we assume that P < sub > X </ sub >( x ) is Gaussian with variance σ < sup > 2 </ sup >, and if we assume that successive samples of the signal X are stochastically independent ( or, if you like, the source is memoryless, or the signal is uncorrelated ), we find the following analytical expression for the rate – distortion function:

If we assume all 99 test scores are random samples from a normal distribution we predict there is a 1 % chance that the 100th test score will be higher than 123. 65 ( that is the mean plus 2. 365 standard deviations ) assuming that the 100th test score comes from the same distribution as the others.
