Also in case of Single Instructions Multiple Data — a case when a lot of data from the same type has to be processed, modern processors can disable parts of the pipeline so that when a single instruction is executed many times, the CPU skips the fetch and decode phases and thus greatly increases performance on certain occasions, especially in highly monotonous program engines such as video creation software and photo processing.

( Additionally, an example of an indirect network effect in this case is the notable similarity in user-interfaces and operability menus of most new software-since that similarity directly translates into less time spent learning new environments, therefore potentially greater acceptance and adoption of those products.

However, in the late 1980s and early 1990s the value premise / value criterion / contentions case model ( developed by Homewood High School coach Patricia Bailey and Vestavia Hills High School coach Marilee Dukes ) achieved national acceptance and use, bringing a degree of standardization to cases and by extension the shape of the round.

Such cases are not considered strong enough to fully establish a new theory, however, and in the case of quantum mechanics, it took the confirmation of the theory through new predictions for the theory to gain full acceptance.

To make his case, the Great Ak tells Claus's life story, from his discovery as a foundling in the magical forest and his raising by Immortals, through his education by the Great Ak in the harsh realities of the human world and his acceptance of his destiny to struggle to bring joy to children.

Contract terms must be available before acceptance, as established in the 1971 case of Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking Ltd where a contract was entered into with a machine before terms were known ( and therefore those terms were not binding ).

In the special case of testing for normality of the distribution, samples are standardized and compared with a standard normal distribution.

The pawnbroker assesses an item for its condition and marketability by testing the item ( in the case of electronics or instruments ) and examining it for flaws, scratches or other damage.

These considerations are part of the business case of the testing.

This is true in the case of functional testing, but even more so with performance testing, due to the end-to-end nature of its scope.

The waveguide can be put in contact with the specimen ( as in a Medical ultrasonography ), in which case the waveguide ensures that the power of the testing wave is conserved, or the specimen may be put inside the waveguide ( as in a dielectric constant measurement ), so that smaller objects can be tested and the accuracy is better.
