It was concluded that it would be appropriate to process the two groups of responses as a single sample of all small businesses engaged in, or wishing to sell to, defense programs.

The developmental process involves the individual's progressively experiencing a sense of dignity and achievement resulting from having completed tasks, having kept commitments, and having created something ( however small or simple -- even a doll dress of one's own design rather than in the design `` it ought to be '' ).

However, very small amounts of steel, ( an alloy of iron and around 1 % carbon ), was always a byproduct of the bloomery process.

This corresponds to a speed of around 0. 05 c. There is surprisingly small variation around this energy, due to the heavy dependence of the half-life of this process on the energy produced ( see equations in the Geiger – Nuttall law ).

The fabric of these crucibles is porous, probably designed to prevent a build up of pressure, and many have small holes in the lids which may be designed to release pressure or to add additional zinc minerals near the end of the process.

The crucible lids had small holes which were blocked with clay plugs near the end of the process presumably to maximise zinc absorption in the final stages.

The country's small white minority and other minorities participate freely in the political process.

Even a small improvement in operating policies or procedures could have set back the deciphering process by months, or even permanently.

Generally at the start of a venture, a small amount of money will be set aside for the bootstrap process.

* Burroughs produced the B1700 or " small systems " computers that were designed to be microprogrammed, with each process potentially getting its own virtual machine designed to be the best match to the programming language chosen for the program being run.

This process placed a premium on chamber music for more public performance, giving a further boost to the string quartet and other small ensemble groupings.

Condensation polymerization, a form of step-growth polymerization, is a process by which two molecules join together, resulting loss of small molecules which is often water.

This process usually involves thousands of tadpoles — which are small, black and have short tails — forming into groups.

Cement is made by heating limestone ( calcium carbonate ) with small quantities of other materials ( such as clay ) to 1450 ° C in a kiln, in a process known as calcination, whereby a molecule of carbon dioxide is liberated from the calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide, or quicklime, which is then blended with the other materials that have been included in the mix.

The use of ' very small ' quantities such as is related to the physical requirement for the quantity to be ' rapidly determined ' by and ; such ' rapid determination ' refers to a physical process.

Animals which detect infrared do not use such single molecule processes, but are forced to make use of small packets of water which change temperature, in an essentially thermal process that involves many photons ( see infrared sensing in snakes ).

As in other former East German cities, a small number of GDR-era names commemorating socialist heroes have been preserved, such as Karl-Marx-Allee, Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz and Karl-Liebknecht-Straße ; this followed a long process of review in which many such street names were deemed inappropriate and were changed.

This process was in the hands of a small number of western experts invited to Kabul by the Afghan Amirs.

Subsequently, networks facilitating the process of money transfer and payment settlement between the consumer and the merchant grew from a small number of nationwide systems to the majority of payment processing transactions.

The process may take minutes in small spiders, or some hours in the larger Mygalomorphs.

Because of the specialized and rare circumstances required for a biological structure to fossilize, only a very small percentage of all life-forms that have ever existed can be expected to be represented in discoveries, and each discovery represents only a snapshot of the process of evolution.

This process can occur in very small spaces, such as within the cell wall of a plant cell.

The next small but significant technological step after hecto is the spirit duplicator, essentially the hectography process using a drum instead of the gelatin.

By varying the number of particles added for heterogeneous nucleation and the rate of cooling in a hot-dip process, the spangle can be adjusted from an apparently uniform surface ( crystallites too small to see with the naked eye ) to grains several centimetres wide.

He also found that learning is done a little at a time or in increments, learning is an automatic process and all the principles of learning apply to all mammals.

… this approach, the ultimate capability delivered to the user is divided into two or more blocks, with increasing increments of capability ... software development shall follow an iterative spiral development process in which continually expanding software versions are based on learning from earlier development.

Playwrights were normally paid in increments during the writing process, and if their play was accepted, they would also receive the proceeds from one day's performance.

The Wiener process can be constructed as the scaling limit of a random walk, or other discrete-time stochastic processes with stationary independent increments.

" The relationship between iterations and increments is determined by the overall software development methodology and software development process.

The unified process groups increments / iterations into phases: inception, elaboration, construction, and transition.

… this approach, the ultimate capability delivered to the user is divided into two or more blocks, with increasing increments of capability ... software development shall follow an iterative spiral development process in which continually expanding software versions are based on learning from earlier development.

When another process increments the semaphore by performing a V operation, and there are processes on the queue, one of them is removed from the queue and resumes execution.

Clausius stated the law also in another form, this time referring to the existence of a function of state of the system called the internal energy, and expressing himself in terms of a differential equation for the increments of a thermodynamic process.

An idle computer has a load number of 0 and each process using or waiting for CPU ( the ready queue or run queue ) increments the load number by 1.

The Brownian bridge is a Gaussian process whose increments are not independent.

Since the duration of the H-1B visa hasn't changed, this has meant a lot more H-1B visa holders have to renew their visas in one-year or three-year increments to continue to be in legal status while their green card application is in process.

# REDIRECT Lévy process # Independent increments

This process can be used to create various frames of animation ( for a motion effect ), offsetting the various layers at different increments ( for a 3D effect ), or simply to show a set of alternate images which may appear to transform into each other.

In probability theory, a Lévy process, named after the French mathematician Paul Lévy, is a stochastic process with independent, stationary increments: it represents the motion of a point whose successive displacements are random and independent, and statistically identical over different time intervals of the same length.

This is so because the increments of a Wiener process are independent and normally distributed.

* Each time a process experiences an internal event, it increments its own logical clock in the vector by one.

* Each time a process prepares to send a message, it increments its own logical clock in the vector by one and then sends its entire vector along with the message being sent.

* Each time a process receives a message, it increments its own logical clock in the vector by one and updates each element in its vector by taking the maximum of the value in its own vector clock and the value in the vector in the received message ( for every element ).

* if H > 1 / 2 then the increments of the process are positively correlated ;

* if H < 1 / 2 then the increments of the process are negatively correlated.

In addition to the management of chance scope, increments are also usable in the process modeling scope of implementation phases.

Using increments can align process models of business architectures and product software as adding more detail in every increment of the phase draws both models closer.
