The changes that took place agreed with the changing society of medieval India: the presentation has changed, the techniques of the way to enlightenment have changed, the outward appearance of Buddhism came to be dominated by ritualism and the array of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and gods and goddesses.

Case-bearer cases are usually much smaller, flimsier, and consist mainly of silk, while bagworm " bags " resemble caddisfly cases in their outward appearance – a mass of ( mainly ) plant detritus spun together with silk on the inside.

In reality the mouth-apparatus of the urchin is continuous from one end to the other, but to outward appearance it is not so, but looks like a horn lantern with the panes of horn left out.

Though the outward appearance of the engine is the same as before, new quality control techniques employ better alloying and casting, better engineering tolerances, and better paint and chrome while retaining the advantage of continuity with the inherently balanced design of a horizontally opposed flat twin engine with roller bearings in a solid frame.

They become an ideal couple, at least to all outward appearance.

Relative clauses introduced by the relative pronoun that as in the b-clauses here have an outward appearance that is closely similar to that of content clauses.

Despite its outward appearance, the Man of War is not a jellyfish but a siphonophore, which differs from jellyfish in that it is not actually a single creature, but a colonial organism made up of many minute individuals called zooids.

The Russians were now faced, not with a disciplined British formation, but by something with the outward appearance of a mob.

A strong economic division between later Scandinavian immigrant farmers and the earlier English and Scottish war veterans who retained control of the principal businesses of the city center, the banks, and the increasingly important Otter Tail Power Company persisted for decades until several generations of ethnic intermarriage and continuing inward and outward migration largely erased the initially strong divisions of class and power along ethnic lines.

The eye is all, inward or outward.

This structure can be also seen as a series of concentric circles, where the gospel begins in the center, Jerusalem, and is expanding ever outward to Judea & Samaria, Syria, Asia Minor, Europe, and eventually to Rome.

Some Anglicans accept that anointing of the sick has a sacramental character and is therefore a channel of God's grace, seeing it as an " outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace " which is the definition of a sacrament.

The Big Bang is not an explosion of matter moving outward to fill an empty universe.

An element of water volume on the surface is shown to be subject to three forces: the vertical force due to gravity F < sub > g </ sub >, the horizontal, radially outward centrifugal force F < sub > Cfgl </ sub >, and the force normal to the surface of the water F < sub > n </ sub > due to the rest of the water surrounding the selected element of surface.

Because water is incompressible and must remain within the confines of the bucket, this outward movement increases the depth of water at the larger radius, increasing the height of the surface at larger radius, and lowering it at smaller radius.

If is an outward pointing in-plane normal, whereas is the unit vector perpendicular to the plane ( see caption at right ), then the orientation of C is chosen so that a tangent vector to C is positively oriented if and only if forms a positively oriented basis for R < sup > 3 </ sup > ( right-hand rule ).

However, this mere conformity of “ outward ” behaviour is but a first step.

In ray casting the geometry which has been modeled is parsed pixel by pixel, line by line, from the point of view outward, as if casting rays out from the point of view.

The design of most classical columns incorporates entasis ( the inclusion of a slight outward curve in the sides ) plus a reduction in diameter along the height of the column, so that the top is as little as 83 % of the bottom diameter.

This outward current is carried internally by positive ions moving from the electrolyte to the positive cathode ( chemical energy is responsible for this " uphill " motion ).

" It is not a law of our intellect, that, in comparing things with each other and taking note of their agreement, we merely recognize as realized in the outward world something that we already had in our minds.

Both of these factors favor rebels, as a population dispersed outward toward the borders is harder to control than one concentrated in a central region, while mountains offer terrain where rebels can seek sanctuary.

More particularly, in classical mechanics, the centrifugal force is an outward force which arises when describing the motion of objects in a rotating reference frame.

The centrifugal force is what is usually thought of as the cause for apparent outward movement like that of passengers in a vehicle turning a corner, of the weights in a centrifugal governor, and of particles in a centrifuge.

Unlike the other two fictitious forces, the centrifugal force always points radially outward from the axis of rotation of the rotating frame, with magnitude, and unlike the Coriolis force in particular, it is independent of the motion of the particle in the rotating frame.

This force is the sum of an outward centrifugal force and an inward Coriolis force.

where is the force accelerating the object and the " hat " variables are unit direction vectors ( points in the centrifugal or outward direction, and is orthogonal to it ).
