If the palette is only 64 colors ( so color indexes are 6 bits wide ), the symbols can range from 0 to 63, and the symbol width can be taken to be 6 bits, with codes starting at 7 bits.

If the symbol width is n, the codes of width n + 1 fall naturally into two blocks: the lower block of 2 < sup > n </ sup > codes for coding single symbols, and the upper block of 2 < sup > n </ sup > codes that will be used by the decoder for sequences of length greater than one.

If the bulk is not shown ( as is often the case in IC design as they are generally common bulk ) an inversion symbol is sometimes used to indicate PMOS, alternatively an arrow on the source may be used in the same way as for bipolar transistors ( out for nMOS, in for pMOS ).

If N bits are conveyed per symbol, and the gross bit rate is R, inclusive of channel coding overhead, the symbol rate f < sub > s </ sub > can be calculated as:

If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

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.

If your state has no provisions for the numbering of pleasure boats, you must apply for a number from the U.S. Coast Guard for any kind of boat with mechanical propulsion rated at more than 10 horsepower before it can be used on Federal waterways.

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 an ESN / MIN Pair is intercepted, it could then be cloned onto a different phone and used in other areas for making calls without paying.

If we define the function f ( n ) = A ( n, n ), which increases both m and n at the same time, we have a function of one variable that dwarfs every primitive recursive function, including very fast-growing functions such as the exponential function, the factorial function, multi-and superfactorial functions, and even functions defined using Knuth's up-arrow notation ( except when the indexed up-arrow is used ).

If used for drinking, mineral supplements or mineralization is necessary.

If the assets used are not identical ( so a price divergence makes the trade temporarily lose money ), or the margin treatment is not identical, and the trader is accordingly required to post margin ( faces a margin call ), the trader may run out of capital ( if they run out of cash and cannot borrow more ) and go bankrupt even though the trades may be expected to ultimately make money.
