In addition to Salmon's model, others have suggested that explanation is primarily motivated by unifying disparate phenomena or primarily motivated by providing the causal or mechanical histories leading up to the phenomenon ( or phenomena of that type ).

In addition to providing for human visual identification of the orientation of the package, the notch allows automated chip-insertion machinery to confirm correct orientation of the chip by mechanical sensing.

In addition, engineers designing objects having engines must ensure that the mechanical resonant frequencies of the component parts do not match driving vibrational frequencies of the motors or other strongly oscillating parts.

In addition, Foss worked to secure OUP's rights not only to music publication and live performance, but the " mechanical " rights to recording and broadcast.

In addition, Su Song's clock tower featured the world's first endless power-transmitting chain drive, an essential mechanical device found in many practical uses throughout the ages, such as the bicycle.

In addition to his mechanical work Murdoch also experimented in the field of chemistry and made a number of discoveries.

In addition, kinematics applies algebraic geometry to the study of the mechanical advantage of a mechanical system, or mechanism.

While colours and detail specifications were modified in the ensuing 42 years, the biggest mechanical change was the addition of front disc brakes in 1981 ( from the discontinued Citroën Dyane ), for the 1982 model year.

In addition, most electronic speed controllers can use the electric motor as a magnetic brake, offering better control of the model than is possible with a mechanical speed control.

In addition to Dalí paintings from all decades of his career, there are Dalí sculptures, 3-dimensional collages, mechanical devices, a living-room with custom furniture that looks like the face of Mae West when viewed from a certain spot, and other curiosities from Dalí's imagination.

In 1903, the College of Advanced Technology commenced the education of electrical engineers in addition to the construction engineers, production engineers and mechanical engineers already educated at the college.

In addition to mechanical friction, considerable force is required to overcome the valve springs used to close the engine's valves.

concluded, “ Patients receiving a silver-coated endotracheal tube had a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of VAP and delayed time to VAP occurrence compared with those receiving a similar, uncoated tube .” In addition, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has recently approved an endotracheal tube with a fine coat of silver for use in mechanical ventilation, after studies found it reduced the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Both type of licensed vehicles are required to be tested for mechanical defects by the authority twice yearly in addition to the annual MOT test.

In addition to higher initial cost, increased mechanical complexity – and thereby potentially higher repair cost, hardtops have the general disadvantages of:

Worms 2 saw the return and enhancements of its predecessor's arsenal ( e. g., the Banana Bomb -> Super Banana Bomb ), as well as the addition of new weapons and tools.

From the datasheet, the enhancements include " the addition of new dedicated addressing hardware ( consisting of a high speed ALU, a barrel shifter and an address register ), a very efficient increased ( 20 bytes ) instruction prefetch queue, a new system / memory bus interface / protocol, increased efficiency slave processor protocol and finally enhancements of microcode.

In addition to speed enhancements, TallyGenicom was also known for other important innovations, adding unique features to line matrix technology.

In addition, under the Stipulations, MP3. com agreed to institute certain corporate governance enhancements.

In addition to this, many different enhancements were made over the course of the centuries:

In addition to interacting with customer information systems and databases, IVRs will also log call detail information into its own database for auditing, performance report, and future IVR system enhancements.

In addition to the LFS and BLFS books, Cross Linux from Scratch ( CLFS ) describes cross compiling and Hardened Linux From Scratch ( HLFS ) focuses on security enhancements like the use of Stack-smashing protection, PaX and Address space layout randomization using grsecurity.

In addition, the simplicity of CMS made it easier to implement user interface enhancements than in traditional OS.

Later, the Old Town Hall underwent many transformations and enhancements, namely a Renaissance style reconstruction in 1599 following earthquake damage, Baroque restyling to the tower after a fire in the 18th century, and the addition of a neorenaissance / neogothic wing built in 1912.

It is the fourth and final release in the Super Mario Advance series, and was first revealed at Nintendo's conference at the E3 2003 convention, containing several enhancements, including the addition of Mario and Luigi's voices by Charles Martinet, the ability to scan e-Cards into Nintendo's e-Reader to add certain content, and a multiplayer mode based on the original arcade game Mario Bros.

In addition, Kasavin described the graphical enhancements brought about by the High Definition pack as " helpful ", but noted that " they still don't make Half-Life look like a new game — nor are many of the changes themselves very noticeable ".

This is part of the personal history she relates to its protagonist, Case, in addition to the revelation that she worked as a " meat puppet " ( a prostitute ) in a " puppet parlor " ( a brothel where people loan out their bodies while maintained in a blanked-out state ) to pay for her considerable cybernetic enhancements.

These enhancements give her superior strength, speed, eyesight in addition to healing and other advanced attributes.

In addition to cybernetic enhancements and the general abilities that all Harrowed have, some ( usually those who were Harrowed before the Cyborg conversion ) have access to Harrowed powers.

In addition, there are enhancements related to obstruction of justice, including obstructing or impeding the administration of justice, reckless endangerment during flight, commission of an offense while on release, and false registration of a domain name.

Some Blakists are inducted into the ranks of the Manei Domini ( an elite Word of Blake spec-ops division ); in addition to the expected round of enhancements, Manei Domini operatives are usually implanted with explosives, set to detonate as a suicide attack or if an operative is captured or killed.

Numerous suggestions from sysops and users, both local and national, guided the growth of Citadel-86, including the addition of a network capability as well as enhancements to the command set.

Other enhancements for 2012 include a new exterior color, Graphite Shadow ( replaces Platinum Graphite ), a new 20-inch wheel design for the FX35 Deluxe Touring Package, the addition of Adaptive Front lighting System ( AFS ) to the FX50 Sport Package, and a shift of the quilted leather climate-controlled front seats to the FX35 Deluxe Touring Package from the Premium Package.

Some of the enhancements incorporated into Version 3. 0. 3 include the addition of new components that are compatible with previous version 3. 0. 2, new " sequenceID " values for " PersonNameType " sub-elements to assign an alternate ordering independent of the physical XML sequence, and an updated Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs ) () resource that incorporates content from the Global JXDM Version 3. 0 Reference Notes along with added FAQs.
