If too much is pruned, there is a risk cutting out interesting nodes.

If they conceive of the circle casting as cutting a line in the air with the tool of air, then they may choose to purify the circle with the remaining three elements of fire, water, and earth ; this would involve using a candle to purify the circle, and omitting the incense, since the circle has already been imbued with the element of air.

* If in cutting to the dealer a card be exposed, there must be a fresh cut.

If left too high they will cause very slow cutting, if filed too low the chain will become more prone to kick back.

If eventually this sequence of cutting results in a manifold whose pieces ( or components ) are just 3-balls, we call this sequence a hierarchy.

If you truncate a cuboctahedron by cutting the corners off, you do not get this uniform figure: some of the faces will be rectangles.

If one truncates an icosidodecahedron by cutting the corners off, one does not get this uniform figure: instead of squares the truncation has golden rectangles.

If sawdust is prone to build up under the cutting blade, through friction the spinning blade will quickly ignite the accumulated dust, and the smoke can be mistaken for an overheated blade.

If a flail cutter is used, then the flail must be kept sharp to ensure that the cutting is effective on the hedge.

If any portion of the hob profile is perpendicular to the axis then it will have no cutting clearance generated by the usual backing off process, and it will not cut well.

If the barber is cutting hair, then the customer goes to the waiting room.

If the cutting is done reversibly ( see reversible ), then conservation of energy means that the energy consumed by the cutting process will be equal to the energy inherent in the two new surfaces created.

If this equality did not hold, the consumer could increase his / her utility by cutting spending on the good with lower marginal utility per unit of money and increase spending on the other good.

If the two companies can agree on a price, it is in their long-term interest to keep the agreement: the revenue from cutting prices is less than twice the revenue from keeping the agreement, and lasts only until the other firm cuts its own prices.

* If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?

If it is required to measure the angles of cutting edges, it is achieved by using a blade edge protractor ( or goniometer ) see CATRA Hobbigoni

If there is heavy pressure on everybody, the center can release the pressure by cutting to the high post for a pass by the ball-handling guard.

If they do not need to be re-used, some surface-mount components can be removed by cutting their leads and desoldering the remnants with a soldering iron.

If a hole has an axial split along it, such as a split bush or a clamping hole, each straight tooth will in turn drop into the gap causing the other teeth to retract from their cutting position.

If my body will no longer permit this big weight cutting, I will go up ( to 205 lbs ).

If he condemns the recent or the present, he condemns the past with no less force.

If the Dominican Republic achieves free, democratic government, it will be due in large part to the U.S. show of force that enabled President Balaguer to prevent a threatened restoration of Trujillo dictatorship.

If they also defeat the school bill, the GOP task force won't have much research to do.

If we fail to develop the means to hunt down and destroy the enemy's military force with extreme care and precision, and if war comes in spite of our most ardent desires for peace, our choice of alternatives will be truly frightening.

If the force required to remove the coatings is plotted against film thickness, a graph as illustrated schematically in Fig. 5 may characteristically result.

If under the existing system he could not assemble forces quickly enough to intercept mobile Viking raiders, the obvious answer was to have a standing field force.

If the net force on some body is directed always toward some fixed point, the center, then there is no torque on the body with respect to the center, and so the angular momentum of the body about the center is constant.

" ... To this he said: " If that is so you will one day be a force.

If you cannot change your own life, it must be that some greater force controls the world.

* Overrunning clutch or freewheel: If some external force makes the driven member rotate faster than the driver, the clutch effectively disengages.

If the column load is gradually increased, a condition is reached in which the straight form of equilibrium becomes so-called neutral equilibrium, and a small lateral force will produce a deflection that does not disappear and the column remains in this slightly bent form when the lateral force is removed.

If the missile starts to roll, the gyroscopic force of the disk drives the control surface into the airflow, cancelling the motion.

If objects are seen as moving within a rotating frame, this movement results in another fictitious force, the Coriolis force ; and if the rate of rotation of the frame is changing, a third fictitious force, the Euler force is experienced.

If this acceleration is multiplied by the particle mass, the leading term is the centripetal force and the negative of the second term related to angular acceleration is sometimes called the Euler force.

LINE SIX: RAF, If in the royal Air force.

If a similar ball is charged by the same glass rod, it is found to repel the first: the charge acts to force the two balls apart.

If one asks an expert for the rules he or she is using, one will, in effect, force the expert to regress to the level of a beginner and state the rules learned in school.

If it exists, the graviton is expected to be massless ( because the gravitational force appears to have unlimited range ) and must be a spin 2 boson.

If we live on a brane ( as hypothesized by some theorists ) this " leakage " of gravitons from the brane into higher-dimensional space could explain why gravitation is such a weak force, and gravitons from other branes adjacent to our own could provide a potential explanation for dark matter.
