If, for some reason such as economy, we are not going to develop aircraft nuclear propulsion with a sense of national urgency, then we should turn our effort to developing jet engines with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 12 or 15 to one.

If the ratio a '/ a be sufficiently constant, as is often the case, the above relation reduces to the condition of Airy, i. e. tan w '/ tan w = a constant.

If the nominal compression ratio of an engine is given, the pre-ignition cylinder pressure can be estimated using the following relationship:

If we think of the atoms as impenetrable steel discs and the impinging particle as a bullet of negligible diameter, this ratio is the probability that the bullet will strike a steel disc, i. e., that the atomic projectile will be stopped by the foil.

If is much smaller than, the mole ratio is almost identical to the mole fraction.

If is much smaller than, the mass ratio is almost identical to the mass fraction.

If the liquid and vapor are not evenly distributed across the superficial tower area as it enters the packed bed, the liquid to vapor ratio will not be correct in the packed bed and the required separation will not be achieved.

If a petrol engine were to have the same compression ratio, then knocking ( self-ignition ) would occur and this would severely reduce the efficiency, whereas in a Diesel engine, the self ignition is the desired behavior.

If a and b are distances from the fulcrum to points A and B and if force F < sub > A </ sub > applied to A is the input force and F < sub > B </ sub > exerted at B is the output, the ratio of the velocities of points A and B is given by a / b, so the ratio of the output force to the input force, or mechanical advantage, is given by

If the group of atoms is in thermal equilibrium, it can be shown from thermodynamics that the ratio of the number of atoms in each state is given by a Boltzmann distribution:

If the lifetime of this transition, τ < sub > 21 </ sub > is much longer than the lifetime of the radiationless 3 → 2 transition τ < sub > 32 </ sub > ( if τ < sub > 21 </ sub > ≫ τ < sub > 32 </ sub >, known as a favourable lifetime ratio ), the population of the E < sub > 3 </ sub > will be essentially zero ( N < sub > 3 </ sub > ≈ 0 ) and a population of excited state atoms will accumulate in level 2 ( N < sub > 2 </ sub > > 0 ).

If the component is a resistor with time-invariant voltage to current ratio, then:

If the producers chose to reformat the entire show for the 16: 9 ratio, live-action footage would have to be recropped, widening the frame to the full width of the 35 mm negatives while reducing its height.

If the ratio of the two resistances in the known leg is equal to the ratio of the two in the unknown leg, then the voltage between the two midpoints ( B and D ) will be zero and no current will flow through the galvanometer.

If the initial amount of Sr is known or can be extrapolated, the age can be determined by measurement of the Rb and Sr concentrations and the < sup > 87 </ sup > Sr /< sup > 86 </ sup > Sr ratio.

If the net gain is expressed as a ratio, and the ratio is less than unity, a net loss is indicated.

If a signal is present, then this factor represents the decrease in signal to noise ratio incurred using the receiver system with a noise temperature of.

If q is the product of that curvature with the circle's radius, signed positive for epi-and negative for hypo -, then the curve: evolute similitude ratio is 1 + 2q.

If the signal and the noise are measured across the same impedance, then the SNR can be obtained by calculating the square of the amplitude ratio:

If two goods are perfect substitutes then the indifference curves will have a constant slope since the consumer would be willing to switch between at a fixed ratio.

If the accuracy ratio is less than 4: 1, then the calibration tolerance can be reduced to compensate.

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

If his dancers are sometimes made to look as if they might be creatures from Mars, this is consistent with his intention of placing them in the orbit of another world, a world in which they are freed of their pedestrian identities.

If a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

If Wilhelm Reich is the Moses who has led them out of the Egypt of sexual slavery, Dylan Thomas is the poet who offers them the Dionysian dialectic of justification for their indulgence in liquor, marijuana, sex, and jazz.

If he is the child of nothingness, if he is the predestined victim of an age of atomic wars, then he will consult only his own organic needs and go beyond good and evil.

If it is an honest feeling, then why should she not yield to it??

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

If love reflects the nature of man, as Ortega Y Gasset believes, if the person in love betrays decisively what he is by his behavior in love, then the writers of the beat generation are creating a new literary genre.

If he is good, he may not be legal ; ;

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

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

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 he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If to be innocent is to be helpless, then I had been -- as are we all -- helpless at the start.

If we are to believe the list of titles printed in Malraux's latest book, La Metamorphose Des Dieux, Vol. 1 ( ( 1957 ), he is still engaged in writing a large novel under his original title.

If desired, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon drained crushed pineapple.

If the Af bond is linear then there are three reasonable positions for the hydrogen atoms: ( 1 ) The hydrogen atoms are centered and hence all lie on a sheet midway between the oxygen sheets ; ;

If, in a certain part of the range, it starts life 1 foot longer than do any of the other ( relatively large ) giants, and reaches maturity at, let us guess, 18 inches longer than the others, a quadrupling of the maturity length would result in a maximum of ( nearly ) 40 feet.

If, at any time during the assignment pass, the compiler finds that there are no more index words available for assignment, the warning message `` No More Index Words Available '' will be placed in the object program listing, the table will be altered to show that index words 1 through 96 are available, and the assignment will continue as before.

If the compiler finds that there are no more electronic switches available for assignment, the warning message `` No More Electronic Switches Available '' will be placed in the object program listing, the table will be altered to show that electronic switches 1 through 30 are available, and assignment will continue as before.

If the resulting four kilobyte table size is too large for a given target platform, the table lookup operation can be performed with a single 256-entry 32-bit ( i. e. 1 kilobyte ) table by the use of circular rotates.

Theorem: If K < sub > 1 </ sub > and K < sub > 2 </ sub > are the complexity functions relative to description languages L < sub > 1 </ sub > and L < sub > 2 </ sub >, then there is a constant c – which depends only on the languages L < sub > 1 </ sub > and L < sub > 2 </ sub > chosen – such that

If more than one player selects a tile in that row, then the player whose tile is in the leftmost column ( closest to 1 ) goes first.

If the color were fully green, its RGBA would be ( 0, 1, 0, 0. 5 ).

* If the balance factor of R is + 1, two different rotations are needed.

* If the balance factor of L is + 1, a single right rotation ( with P as the root ) is needed ( Left-Left case ).

If there is refraction at a collective spherical surface, or through a thin positive lens, O ' 2 will lie in front of O ' 1 so long as the angle u2 is greater than u1 ( under correction ); and conversely with a dispersive surface or lenses ( over correction ).

If the angle u1 is very small, O ' 1 is the Gaussian image ; and O ' 1 O ' 2 is termed the longitudinal aberration, and O ' 1R the lateral aberration of the pencils with aperture u2.

If the pencil with the angle u2 is that of the maximum aberration of all the pencils transmitted, then in a plane perpendicular to the axis at O ' 1 there is a circular disk of confusion of radius O ' 1R, and in a parallel plane at O ' 2 another one of radius O ' 2R2 ; between these two is situated the disk of least confusion.

If the object point O is infinitely distant, u1 and u2 are to be replaced by h1 and h2, the perpendicular heights of incidence ; the sine condition then becomes sin u ' 1 / h1 = sin u ' 2 / h2.

If the function R is well-defined, its value must lie in the range, with 1 indicating perfect correlation and − 1 indicating perfect anti-correlation.

If there is no number to its left, simply look at the column headed " 1 " in the previous row.
