* Nonlinearity: If the current through a ferromagnetic core coil is high enough that the magnetic core saturates, the inductance will not remain constant but will change with the current through the device.

If an electric field of one particular polarity is applied for a long period of time, this ionic material is attracted to the surfaces and degrades the device performance.

If the confinement is due many distributed Fresnel reflections, the device is termed a photonic crystal.

If in every situation only one transition is available as continuation of the computation, then the result is a deterministic pushdown automaton ( DPDA ), a strictly weaker device.

If we allow a finite automaton access to two stacks instead of just one, we obtain a more powerful device, equivalent in power to a Turing machine.

If the subject cannot, for whatever reason, get access to the device, intense depression can result, often to the point of madness or suicide.

If SMES were to be used for utilities it would be a diurnal storage device, charged from baseload power at night and meeting peak loads during the day.

If a similar set of disks and a housing with an involute shape ( versus circular for the turbine ) are used, the device can be used as a pump.

If ' is positive, the resistance increases with increasing temperature, and the device is called a positive temperature coefficient ( PTC ) thermistor, or posistor.

If ' is negative, the resistance decreases with increasing temperature, and the device is called a negative temperature coefficient ( NTC ) thermistor.

If the current is large enough to generate more heat than the device can lose to its surroundings, the device heats up, causing its resistance to increase, and therefore causing even more heating.

If two devices overwrote the same memory location in a conflict, and the hard disk controller relied on this location ( the HDD controller often being the 2nd conflicting device ) there was the all-too-common possibility of massive data corruption.

If a visible output was needed, a second tube with a phosphor coating was used as a display device.

If there is a fixed voltage source from, for example, a DC adjustable device in the signal path, a comparator is just the equivalent of a cascade of amplifiers.

If we define control characters as non-graphic, or as having a special meaning for an output device ( e. g. printer or text terminal ) then any escape character for this device is a control one.

If the device stops responding, active monitoring will throw an alarm showing the device as unavailable and allows for the proactive correction of the problem.

If the conductive part of the hearing loss is more than 30 – 35 dB, an air conduction device could have problems overcoming this gap.

If that device uses natural binary codes, these two positions would be right next to each other:

If the flash controller does not track the total number of reads across the whole storage device and rewrite the surrounding data periodically as a precaution, a read disturb error will likely occur, with data loss as a result.

If the device has been designed to power a shaft as with an industrial generator or a turboprop, the exit pressure will be as close to the entry pressure as possible.

If the mode 3 device is unplugged, the switch contacts maintain line connection to the other devices.

If the man on the sidewalk is surprised at this question, it has served as an exclamation.

If there be a disinterested patriot in America, 'tis General Washington, and his bravery, none can question ''.

If it proclaims that the best is yet to be, it always arouses, at least in the young, either a suspicious question or perhaps the exclamation of the Negro youth who saw on a tombstone the inscription, `` I am not dead but sleeping ''.

If there were more such cases, it would be easier to answer the question whether the policy-makers favor their own social classes.

( One big question: If Colmer was to be purged, what should the House do about the other three senior Mississippians who supported the maverick electors??

`` If you substitute ' atom ' for ' angel ', the problem is not insoluble, given the metallic content of the pin in question ''.

If the second theory is correct, this raises the further question of why the Persians, having hesitated for several days, then attacked.

If so, the next question is whether the patient can respond in a meaningful way to questions and commands.

If one asks the question, " Why are there any contingent beings at all?

If a system in question has an impulse response of

A more specific question could be: " If someone else can make better out of his / her life than I can, is it then moral to sacrifice myself for them if needed?

If the species concerned were short-lived ( in geological terms, lasting a few hundred thousand years ), then it is certain that the sediments in question were deposited within that narrow time period.

If the governor withholds the Queen's assent, the sovereign may within two years disallow the bill, thereby annulling the law in question.

Islamists have asked the question, " If Islam is a way of life, how can we say that those who want to live by its principles in legal, social, political, economic, and political spheres of life are not Muslims, but Islamists and believe in Islamism, not Islam?

If A attempts to support his position with an argument that shows that the law ought to allow him to do the thing in question, then he is guilty of ignoratio elenchi.

If the suspect responds " no " to the first question, the officer is required to re-read the Miranda warning, while saying " no " to the second question invokes the right at that moment ; in either case the interviewing officer or officers cannot question the suspect until the rights are waived.

If truth is understood according to correspondence theory, the question of the truth or falsity of sentences not contingent upon external phenomena cannot be tested ( see tautologies ).

If the first-countability axiom were imposed on the topological spaces in question, the two above conditions would be equivalent.

If there is, such as in some denominations of Wicca, it is a particular of the denomination in question, and not a universal practice.

If the objects are indeterminate until one of them is measured, then the question becomes, " How can one account for something that was at one point indefinite with regard to its spin ( or whatever is in this case the subject of investigation ) suddenly becoming definite in that regard even though no physical interaction with the second object occurred, and, if the two objects are sufficiently far separated, could not even have had the time needed for such an interaction to proceed from the first to the second object?

If they had any significant level of non-organic parts then something as simple as an x-ray scan would show them not to be human ( unless their creators designed the non-organic parts to have almost exactly the same structure and density as the organic components they were replacing, which would be both infeasible and highly improbable but not completely out of the question ).

This is because each point on the supply curve is the answer to the question " If this firm is faced with this potential price, how much output will it be able to and willing to sell?

" If a firm has market power, so its decision of how much output to provide to the market influences the market price, then the firm is not " faced with " any price, and the question is meaningless.
