Alma-Tadema's meticulous archaeological research, including research into Roman architecture ( which was so thorough that every building featured in his canvases could have been built using Roman tools and methods ) led to his paintings being used as source material by Hollywood directors in their vision of the ancient world for films such as D.

One of the most studied applications has been the use of mistletoe extracts in cancer therapy.

However, while increases in crop yield are the most obvious applications of modern biotechnology in agriculture, it is also the most difficult one.

However, in higher-end applications, the benefits afforded by the extra range ( most often the additional address space ) are more significant and often affect design choices.

The following technologies are either obsolete, or limited to special applications though most were, at one time, in widespread use.

A breaking stress of at least 20 kN ( 20, 000 newtons = approximately 4, 500 pounds of force which is significantly more than the weight of a small car ) with the gate closed and 7 kN with the gate open is the standard for most climbing applications, although requirements vary depending on the activity.

He conceived and developed many of his user interface ideas back in the mid-1960s, long before the personal computer revolution, at a time when most individuals were kept away from computers, and could only use computers through intermediaries ( see batch processing ), and when software tended to be written for vertical applications in proprietary systems.

They rapidly ceased to be used for most purposes, an exception being some high-voltage high-current applications subject to large transient peaks, where their robustness to abuse made them the best choice.
