KGO's signal is received essentially free of static at night in locations such as Vancouver, Washington, Seattle, Washington, and San Diego, but is difficult to receive in Reno, Nevada, and other points east of the Sierra Nevada mountains due to its signal directionality.

Although Spencer and Marx disagreed about many things they were similar in that their systems were static: they both claimed to have divined the immutable stages of development that a society went through and they both taught that mankind was essentially helpless before the force of evolution.

Pribram distinguishes between propagative nerve impulses on the one hand, and slow potentials ( hyperpolarizations, steep polarizations ) that are essentially static.

B was essentially the BCPL system stripped of any component that Thompson felt he could do without, in order to make it fit within the memory capacity of the minicomputers of the time.

Books with a quick and inexpensive printed format of tape binding and printed cardstock covers, the four monographs ( Players Book, Magic Book, Creatures Book, and Gamemaster Book ) were printed in order to assert Chaosium's copyrights in the run-up to the publishing and distribution of Deluxe Basic Roleplaying, a game system that is essentially RuneQuest 3rd Edition but with additions to allow play in other genres.

Greek astronomy essentially adopted the older Babylonian system in the Hellenistic era, first introduced to Greece by Eudoxus of Cnidus in the 4th century BC.

Meinhof's system of classification of the Hamitic languages was based on a belief that " speakers of Hamitic became largely coterminous with cattle herding peoples with essentially Caucasian origins, intrinsically different from and superior to the ' Negroes of Africa '.

Even though each 1541 had its own on board disk controller and disk operating system, it was not possible for a user to command two 1541 drives to copy a disk ( one drive reading and the other writing ) as with older dual drives like the 4040 and 8050 that were often found with the PET computer, and which the 1541 was backward compatible to ( it could read 4040 disks but not write to them since its internal Operating System was essentially the same ).

) depend quite essentially on the system to which they are defined "

However, the falling price of microprocessors is making the actual implementation of a control system essentially trivial.

The thermodynamic definition was developed in the early 1850s by Rudolf Clausius and essentially describes how to measure the entropy of an isolated system in thermodynamic equilibrium.

In 1960, the Air Force proposed a radio-navigation system called MOSAIC ( MObile System for Accurate ICBM Control ) that was essentially a 3-D LORAN.

Though considerably changed in detail and expanded over the years, this system remains essentially the same as when formally implemented in 1920.

This policy essentially attempts to provide a mechanism for rapid, cheap and reasonable resolution of domain name conflicts, avoiding the traditional court system for disputes by allowing cases to be brought to one of a set of bodies that arbitrate domain name disputes.

In contrast to submachine guns and autocannons, machine guns ( like rifles ) tend to share the characteristic of a very high ratio of barrel length to caliber ( a long barrel for a small caliber ); indeed, a true machine gun is essentially a fully automatic rifle, and often the primary criterion for a machine gun as opposed to an automatic rifle is the presence of a quick-change barrel or other cooling system ( see below ).

In a client-server system, most communication is essentially synchronous, even if using asynchronous primitives, as the typical operation is a client invoking a server and then waiting for a reply.

The kernel's job was reduced from essentially being the operating system to maintaining the " utilities " and scheduling their access to hardware.

Normal play Nim ( or more precisely the system of nimbers ) is fundamental to the Sprague-Grundy theorem, which essentially says that in normal play every impartial game is equivalent to a Nim heap that yields the same outcome when played in parallel with other normal play impartial games ( see disjunctive sum ).

QEMU and Bochs also support running OS / 2 as they are full x86 system emulators and not virtualization software, and thus emulates the entire x86 architecture instead of relying on the host CPU, essentially allowing OS / 2 unrestricted access to Ring 2, albeit an emulated one.
