If clay is slightly out of shape, square straight sides with guide sticks or rulers pressed against opposite sides, or smooth round pieces with damp fingers.

If you quarter a pumpkin, you are left with a balalaika shape.

If light consisted strictly of ordinary or classical particles, and these particles were fired in a straight line through a slit and allowed to strike a screen on the other side, we would expect to see a pattern corresponding to the size and shape of the slit.

If we choose the shape of the control volume such that all flow in or out occurs perpendicular to its surface, then the flow of matter into the system performs work as if it were a piston of fluid pushing mass into the system, and the system performs work on the flow of matter out as if it were driving a piston of fluid.

If drain-to-source voltage is increased, this creates a significant asymmetrical change in the shape of the channel due to a gradient of voltage potential from source to drain.

If the meteoroid maintains a fixed orientation for some time, without tumbling, it may develop a conical " nose cone " or " heat shield " shape.

If the pressure is steady, there is no more stimulus ; thus, typically these neurons respond with a transient depolarization during the initial deformation and again when the pressure is removed, which causes the corpuscle to change shape again.

If E < sub > i </ sub > is a sine wave, triangular wave, or wave of any other shape that is symmetrical around zero, the zero-crossing detector's output will be square.

If the piece of mantle should slip off the bead, a pearl forms of baroque shape about the mantle piece which is entirely nacre.

If the circle is replaced by an ellipse, and rotated about the major axis, the shape becomes a prolate spheroid, rotated about the minor axis, an oblate spheroid.

If a person ‘ synthesizes ’ a ‘ jet plane landing ’ sound, this is achieved mostly by altering the shape of the mouth to filter the white noise into pink noise by removing the higher frequencies.

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 a traveling wave has a fixed shape that repeats in space or in time, it is a periodic wave.

If a flat ribbon or strip is tightly folded into a flattened overhand knot, it assumes a regular pentagonal shape.

If the wave shape being measured is greatly different from a sine wave, the relationship between RMS and average value changes.

If the error originates from the parts of the micrometer being worn out of shape and size, then adjustment back to accuracy is not possible ; rather, repair ( grinding, lapping, or replacing of parts ) is required in order to return to full accuracy.

If the cross-section of the circular object deviates slightly from its circular shape ( but it still has a sharp edge on a smaller scale ) the shape of the point-source Arago spot changes.

If your attention is drawn to a flower in a field, it may be because the color or shape of the flower are visually salient.

If the amino acids that are in the chain are changed, the shape of the histone sphere might be modified.

If the pulse has just the right shape, the Kerr effect will exactly cancel the dispersion effect, and the pulse's shape won't change over time: a soliton.

* If the gland retains its shape as a tube throughout it is termed a tubular gland.

If the pipes are the same size and shape, the pipe full of sand has higher resistance to flow.

If most of the time the substantial portion of the references aggregate into clusters, and if the shape of this system of clusters can be well predicted, then it can be used for speed optimization.

If you volunteer, you will be told where you're going after the ship leaves.

If this were the case, such an area forming around a ship could cause it to sink very rapidly and without warning.

If the images on the Tullstorp Runestone are correctly identified as depicting Ragnarök, then Fenrir is shown above the ship Naglfar.

If a ship's hull classification symbol begins with " W ", it is a ship of the United States Coast Guard.

If just one plank has been replaced, will we say that the ship is a different ship?

If we say what time the ship has the mast, then we have indexed the property of having the mast to that time.

If deceleration on arrival is desired and cannot be achieved by other means than by engines of the ship, then the required energy at least doubles.

Survivor Jim McLoughlin states in One Common Enemy that Hartenstein asked him if he was in the Royal Navy, which he was, and then asked why a passenger ship was armed, stating, " If it wasn't armed, I would not have attacked.

If and when the airport eventually goes ahead, the Royal Mail ship will cease operations when flights begin.

If a pair of twins are born on the day the ship leaves, and one goes on the journey while the other stays on Earth, they will meet again when the traveler is 6 years old and the stay-at-home twin is 10 years old.

If proven cost-effective in a life cycle cost analysis during the Analysis of Alternatives ( AoA ) phase of preliminary ship design, new ship classes ( e. g. CG ( X )) could proceed with nuclear propulsion.

If the ship as a result of capture and utilization of 4 hydrogen atoms is nor accelerated or slowed down, then the momentum lost during their capture is equal to the momentum gained from the release of the helium atom from the nozzle:

If this is so, conventional relativistic effects such as time dilation would not apply in the way they would in the case of a ship moving at a very great velocity through flat spacetime, relative to other objects.

If the reactor and the ballistic missiles explode while the K-19 is surfaced, the resulting nuclear blast will destroy not only the K-19 but also the nearby US navy ship and, most likely, the NATO base as well.

If the containment fields ever fail, the subsequent interaction of the antimatter fuel with the container walls would result in a catastrophic release of energy, with the resultant explosion capable of utterly destroying the ship.

If the holes bored into the thwarts are indeed meant to accommodate a dummy crew, the crew seating would have been arranged with two men per bench amidships, and one man per bench fore and aft where the ship narrows so that there is only room for one man.

If a generation ship is sent to a star system 20 light years away is expected to reach its destination in 200 years, then a better ship may be later developed that can reach it in 50 years.

After being chosen to be the first teacher in space, McAuliffe was a guest on several television programs, including Good Morning America ; the CBS Morning News ; the Today Show ; and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, where, when asked about the mission, she stated, " If you ’ re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don ’ t ask what seat.

In 1989, Cher's " If I Could Turn Back Time " video ( where the singer performs the song in an extremely revealing body suit surrounded by a ship full of cheering sailors ) was restricted to late-night broadcasts on MTV.

If the receiver was also moving relative to the earth, such as aboard a ship or airplane, this would cause mismatches with the idealized Doppler curves, and degrade position accuracy.

If a hospital ship persists in violating restrictions, a belligerent is legally entitled to capture it or take other means to enforce compliance.

If so, it apparently had not been sufficiently marked as a hospital ship, perhaps owing to the chaos surrounding the collapse of military and civilian authority in Nazi Germany.
