DARPA has been responsible for funding the development of many technologies which have had a major effect on the world, including computer networking, as well as NLS, which was both the first hypertext system, and an important precursor to the contemporary ubiquitous graphical user interface.

The effect can be observed for example by placing insoluble markers at the interface between a pure metal and an alloy containing that metal, and heating to a temperature where diffusion is possible ; the boundary will move relative to the markers.

The piezoelectric and interface effects as well as the depolarization field may lead to a giant electroresistance ( GER ) switching effect.

The Marangoni effect is the convection of fluid along an interface between dissimilar substances because of variations in surface tension.

* MIX 2. 0 Professional Excel addin with Ribbon interface for meta-analysis and effect size conversions in Excel ( free and commercial versions ).

It does not have to be external to the computer on which the program is run ; reduced hard disk access time or an enhanced user interface could also be a technical effect.

Because the change in refractive index between cornea and aqueous humor is relatively small compared to the change at the air – cornea interface, it has a negligible refractive effect, typically-6 diopters.

This is a combined effect from lenticulars having difficult inclination measurements, projection effects in the bulge-disk interface region, and the random motions of stars affecting the true rotational velocities.

The term is not consistently applied ; it is often used as a pejorative by end users to describe undesired user interface changes even if those changes had little or no effect on the hardware requirements.

Steinberg's Virtual Studio Technology ( VST ) is an interface for integrating software audio synthesizer and effect plugins with audio editors and hard-disk recording systems.

The controller modules interface with the system " centerplane " via JTAG and control the partitioning of available CPUs, memory and I / O devices into one or more domains, each of which is in effect a distinct computer.

La Forge begins to have problems with the interface of his VISOR, and realizes that the planet has a deleterious effect on their nervous systems.

For the case of propagation through a duct, wall vibrations and viscous forces at the air / wall interface ( boundary layer ) can also have a significant effect, especially at high frequencies for the latter.

In fluid dynamics, the capillary number represents the relative effect of viscous forces versus surface tension acting across an interface between a liquid and a gas, or between two immiscible liquids.

In Anderson's idealized model these material parameters are unchanged when the materials are brought together to form an interface, so it ignores the quantum size effect, defect states and other perturbations which may or may not be the result of imperfect crystal lattice matches ( more on lattice considerations below ).

A good practice in interface design, often included in Human Interface Guidelines, is to label each option with the precise effect that it will have on the process ( for example, " Save / Don't save " in a dialog triggered while editing a document with unsaved changes ).

These work by increasing the distances over which an electron will retain its spin ( the spin relaxation length ), and by enhancing the polarization effect on electrons by the ferromagnetic layers and the interface.

As a side effect of being able to be called from many programs, these systems also defined a standard way to call them, using an interface definition language, or IDL, to allow any language on the platform to understand the code inside the library.

Suffering from second system effect, it included features intended to make it better than OLE, including support for non-rectangular areas, network notifications and an extensive user interface.

The Marangoni effect ( also called the Gibbs – Marangoni effect ) is the mass transfer along an interface between two fluids due to surface tension gradient.

Under earth conditions, the effect of gravity causing density-driven convection in a system with a temperature gradient along a fluid / fluid interface is usually much stronger than the Marangoni effect.

Even though the surface tension can be greatly reduced by pulmonary surfactant, this effect will depend on the surfactant's concentration on the interface.

Jazz is good not only because it promotes wholeness but because of its decided sexual effect.

The general effect is tragic.

He is a dreamer of the good society with a plan to put into effect, and he is an individual craftsman with something to make for himself and the people of his time.

The interesting thing about Mr. Lyford's approach, and the approach of the contributors to The Agreeable Autocracies ( Oceana Publications, 1961 ) to the situation of American civilization, is that it is concerned with comprehending the psychological relationships which are having a decisive effect on American life.

If `` Jack the Courtier '' is really to be taken as Swift, the following remark is obviously Steele's comment on Swift's change of parties and its effect on their friendship: `` I assure you, dear Jack, when I first found out such an Allay in you, as makes you of so malleable a Constitution, that you may be worked into any Form an Artificer pleases, I foresaw I should not enjoy your Favour much longer ''.

In this domain the simple fact of coexistence in the same local, national, and world community is enough to guarantee that we cannot refrain from having some effect, large or small, upon Gentile-Jewish relations.

In the calm which follows the reading of a poem, for example, is the effect produced by the enforced quiet, by the musical quality of words and rhythm, by the sentiments or sense of the poem, by the associations with earlier readings, if it is familiar, by the boost to the self-esteem for the semi-literate, by the diversion of attention, by the sense of security in a legitimized withdrawal, by a kind license for some variety of fantasy life regarded as forbidden, or by half-conscious ideas about the magical power of words??

He is, rather, concerned with the effect on society and he wants the poets to join his fight for justice.

In Krutch's view, this is one way to show how literature may be moral in effect without employing the explicit methods of a moralist.

If Krutch is correct, tragedy may have quite the opposite effect.

This is not to deny the existence of pogroms and ghettos, but only to assert that these horrors have had an effect on the nerves of people who did not experience them, that among the various side effects is the local hysteria of Jewish writers and intellectuals who cry out from confusion, which they call oppression and pain.

We submit that this is a most desirable effect of the law -- and one of its principal aims.

Since appeals to morality, to humanity, and to sanity have had such small effect, perhaps our last recourse is the deterrent example.

The effect of radiation is cumulative over the years -- and on to succeeding generations.

A recent study on radiation exposure by the AEC's division of biology and medicine stated: `` The question of the biological effect of ( radiation ) doses is not considered '' herein.

A 5-percent royalty is paid on any production during the period the contract is in effect ; ;

A significant effect discovered during the study is the existence of Prandtl numbers reaching values of more than unity in the nitrogen dissociation region.

Another effect discovered is the large coefficient of thermal diffusion tending to separate nitrogen from the oxygen when temperature differences straddling the nitrogen dissociation region are present.

The pre-1960 rate of Federal participation with respect to any State's base allotment, as well as the adjusted rate in effect during the 1960 - 1962 period, is designated by the statute as that State's `` adjusted Federal Share ''.
