# Hedge funds ' low correlation with other assets tends to dissipate during stressful market events, making them much less useful for diversification than they may appear ; and

Modern ICBMs tend to be smaller than their ancestors, due to increased accuracy and smaller and lighter warheads, and use solid fuels, making them less useful as orbital launch vehicles.

He declared simultaneity only a convenient convention which depends on the speed of light, whereby the constancy of the speed of light would be a useful postulate for making the laws of nature as simple as possible.

The free metal burns with a characteristic brilliant white light, making it a useful ingredient in flares.

Some metals and metal alloys possess high structural strength per unit mass, making them useful materials for carrying large loads or resisting impact damage.

In 1961 the American physicist Eugene Kunzler and coworkers at Bell Labs discovered that niobium-tin continues to exhibit superconductivity in the presence of strong electric currents and magnetic fields, making it the first material to support the high currents and fields necessary for useful high-power magnets and electrically powered machinery.

This step is strongly exothermic, making it a useful heat source once initiated:

Persuasive precedent ( also persuasive authority ) is precedent or other legal writing that is not binding precedent but that is useful or relevant and that may guide the judge in making the decision in a current case is known as persuasive precedent ( or persuasive authority or advisory precedent ).

However it can be configured to offer mouse support, auto indentation, regular expression searches and even syntax highlighting making it more useful.

Silver is believed to have purifing effects ; a belief that likely arose from the observation that water kept in a silver pitcher took longer to go scummy ; in real-life, silver has been shown to have antibacterial proporties, making it quite useful in medicine.

This is Urd's favorite way of punishing Skuld whenever she touches or breaks any of Urd's potions and such, by making her create gadgets that do absolutely nothing useful.

Dysprosium is used for its high thermal neutron absorption cross-section in making control rods in nuclear reactors, for its high magnetic susceptibility in data storage applications, and as a component of Terfenol-D. Soluble dysprosium salts are mildly toxic, while the insoluble salts are considered non-toxic.

In addition to optical fiber lasers, a large variety of medical applications ( i. e. dermatology, dentistry ) utilize the erbium ion's 2940 nm emission ( see Er: YAG laser ), which is highly absorbed in water in tissues, making its effect very superficial.

Due to its thinness, the zinc of electroplated coatings is quickly depleted, making them unsuitable for outdoor applications ( except in very dry climates ).

Parts of hydrology concern developing methods for directly measuring these flows or amounts of water, while others concern modelling these processes either for scientific knowledge or for making prediction in practical applications.

Their high yield converts into superior energy resolution ; moreover, the light output is very stable and quite high over a very wide range of temperatures, making it particularly attractive for high temperature applications.

They have to some extent fallen into obsolescence following the advent of mouse-driven user interface and the availability of keyboard and mouse macros in applications such as word processors and spreadsheets, making it possible to create application-sensitive keyboard macros.

This release removed Rosetta, making it incapable of running PowerPC applications.

They will generally have the ability to retain functionality while waiting for an event such as a button press or other interrupt ; power consumption while sleeping ( CPU clock and most peripherals off ) may be just nanowatts, making many of them well suited for long lasting battery applications.

Application areas include system identification and control ( vehicle control, process control, natural resources management ), quantum chemistry, game-playing and decision making ( backgammon, chess, poker ), pattern recognition ( radar systems, face identification, object recognition and more ), sequence recognition ( gesture, speech, handwritten text recognition ), medical diagnosis, financial applications ( automated trading systems ), data mining ( or knowledge discovery in databases, " KDD "), visualization and e-mail spam filtering.

* Netbeans Platform, most commonly known for the Netbeans IDE, which is an application built on the Netbeans Platform, which is a framework that allows making modules, plugins for other NB applications ( usually a group of interacting modules ) and complete applications like the netbeans IDE
