Getting the materials for them was more dependent on barter and black markets than it was on normal sources of supply, which had all but ceased to exist.

The Montessori method arose from Dr. Maria Montessori's discovery of what she referred to as " the child's true normal nature " in 1907, which happened in the process of her experimental observation of young children given freedom in an environment prepared with materials designed for their self-directed learning activity.

They can be divided into body waves that travel through the interior of the materials ; surface waves that travel along surfaces or interfaces between materials ; and normal modes, a form of standing wave.

Reported events include teleportation ( a term Fort is generally credited with coining ); poltergeist events ; falls of frogs, fishes, inorganic materials of an amazing range ; unaccountable noises and explosions ; spontaneous fires ; levitation ; ball lightning ( a term explicitly used by Fort ); unidentified flying objects ; unexplained disappearances ; giant wheels of light in the oceans ; and animals found outside their normal ranges ( see phantom cat ).

However, the fundamental origins of diamagnetism in superconductors and normal materials are very different.

As opposed to the response of a vacuum, the response of normal materials to external fields generally depends on the frequency of the field.

They are often made of unusually hard alloys, are longer and heavier than normal for their caliber, and even include exotic materials such as tungsten to increase their sectional density.

The term is usually used, without further qualification, to refer to the standard atomic weights published at regular intervals by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry ( IUPAC ) and which are intended to be applicable to normal laboratory materials.

Ductile materials, which includes structural steel, as well as many alloys of other metals, are characterized by their ability to yield at normal temperatures.

In brittle crystalline materials, fracture can occur by cleavage as the result of tensile stress acting normal to crystallographic planes with low bonding ( cleavage planes ).

The building incorporates many principles of Vedic architecture such as eastern orientation, specific room placement size and proportions, energy efficiency, day lighting, non-toxic and natural building materials and " higher than normal " energy efficiency.

Out of these four theories of failure, the maximum normal stress theory is only applicable for brittle materials, and the remaining three theories are applicable for ductile materials.

In the context of surgically reconstructing the patient ’ s physiognomy, the “ normal nose ” is the three-dimensional ( 3-D ) template for replacing the missing part ( s ) of a nose ( aesthetic nasal subunit, aesthetic nasal segment ), which the plastic surgeon re-creates using firm, malleable, modelling materials — such as bone, cartilage, and flaps of skin and of tissue.

Commonly seen examples of phosphorescent materials are the glow-in-the-dark toys, paint, and clock dials that glow for some time after being charged with a bright light such as in any normal reading or room light.

For ductile materials the maximum wear rate is found when the impingement angle is approximately 30 °, whilst for non ductile materials the maximum wear rate occurs when the impingement angle is normal to the surface.

Hypomania is also a feature of bipolar I disorder as it arises in sequential procession as the mood disorder fluctuates between normal mood and mania.

Social hierarchy is viewed by those affiliated with the Right as either inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, whether it arises through traditional social differences or from competition in market economies.

In Treatise on Money ( 1930, chapter 29 ), economist John Maynard Keynes argued that in commodity markets, backwardation is not an abnormal market situation, but rather arises naturally as " normal backwardation " from the fact that producers of commodities are more prone to hedge their price risk than consumers.

The Student ’ s t-distribution also arises in the Bayesian analysis of data from a normal family.

Hence the need for a BOM arises in the context of text interchange, rather than in normal text processing within a closed environment.

Blanke and colleagues thus propose that the right temporal-parietal junction is important for the sense of spatial location of the self, and that when these normal processes go awry, an OBE arises.

The supply and demand for denatured alcohol arises from the fact that normal alcohol ( which in everyday language refers specifically to ethanol, suitable for human consumption as a drink ) is usually very expensive in comparison with similar chemicals, being highly taxed for revenue and public health policy purposes ( see sin tax ).

Following the boom phase, asset prices collapse and a credit crunch arises, where access to financing opportunities are sharply reduced below levels observed during normal times.

The ability for mammals to tolerate aneuploidies in the sex chromosomes arises from the ability to inactivate them, which is required in normal females to compensate for having two copies of the chromosome.

The Wishart distribution arises as the distribution of the sample covariance matrix for a sample from a multivariate normal distribution.

Electrical activity in the normal human heart is initiated when a cardiac action potential arises in the sinoatrial ( SA ) node, which is located in the right atrium.

Superfluidity in helium arises from the normal liquid by a second-order phase transition (" lambda transition ").

In thin liquid helium films, it arises from the normal liquid

The rational normal curve for higher genus hyperelliptic curves arises in the same way with higher power monomials in X.

RAD arises from a failure to form normal attachments to primary caregivers in early childhood.

He contended that most human genetic damage arises from the oxidation of DNA during normal metabolism, and that the most important environmental carcinogens may include some whose chief effect is to cause the chronic division of stem cells whereby the normal protective mechanisms of a cell become less effective.

The firm's design philosophy arises from an interest in producing work with a meaning that can be understood by absorbing the culture for which it was made, and their goal was to develop an architecture that would eschew the normal bounds of traditional forms.

While on Earth, Prince Planet exists usually as Bobby, a normal boy, but when the need arises he will transform into Prince Planet to fight enemies or protect his friends.

Even small perturbances of proteins, such as the reduction of antithrombin to only 70 – 80 % of the normal level, can increase the thrombosis risk ; this is in contrast with hemophilia, which only arises if levels of coagulation factors are markedly decreased.

Otherwise it arises in previously normal skin.

It is closely related to the chi-squared distribution and its specific importance is that it arises in the application of Bayesian inference to the normal distribution, where it can be used as the prior and posterior distribution for an unknown variance.
