James Lind's anemometer of 1775 consisted simply of a glass U tube containing a liquid manometer ( pressure gauge ), with one end bent in a horizontal direction to face the wind and the other vertical end remains parallel to the wind flow.

The wind over the open end of a vertical tube causes little change in pressure on the other side of the manometer.

The highly successful metal pressure tube anemometer of William Henry Dines in 1892 utilized the same pressure difference between the open mouth of a straight tube facing the wind and a ring of small holes in a vertical tube which is closed at the upper end.

The gap, set by the distance between the nut and the end of the tube, regulates the influx of the air in a way similar to the open slots of the Bunsen burner.

Through the construction of a glass tube filled with mercury and plugged at each end with a quartz crystal, delay lines could store bits of information within the quartz and transfer it through sound waves propagating through mercury.

In 1838, Michael Faraday passed a current through a rarefied air filled glass tube and noticed a strange light arc with its beginning at the cathode ( negative electrode ) and its end almost at the anode ( positive electrode ).

But at the anode ( positive ) end of the tube, the glass of the tube itself began to glow.

By the time the tube was dark, most of the electrons could travel in straight lines from the cathode to the anode end of the tube without a collision.

When they reached the anode end of the tube, they were travelling so fast that, although they were attracted to it, they often flew past the anode and struck the back wall of the tube.

* Vent: A thin tube on the near end of the cannon connecting the explosive charge inside with an ignition source outside and often filled with a length of fuse ; always located near the breech.

Like smallarms, cannon are a descendant of the fire lance, a gunpowder-filled tube attached to the end of a spear and used as a flamethrower in China.

Evidence quality can be assessed based on the source type ( from meta-analyses and systematic reviews of triple-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials with concealment of allocation and no attrition at the top end, down to conventional wisdom at the bottom ), as well as other factors including statistical validity, clinical relevance, currency, and peer-review acceptance.

He taught that pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and evil ; death is the end of both body and soul and should therefore not be feared ; the gods do not reward or punish humans ; the universe is infinite and eternal ; and events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms moving in empty space.

The concept of picking players and running a contest based on their year-to-date stats has been around since shortly after World War II, Wilfred Winkenbach devised fantasy golf in the latter part of the 1950s, in which each player selected a team of professional golfers and the person with the lowest combined total of strokes at the end of the tournament would win.

Saddam Hussein's government has maintained consistently since the summer of 1982 that Iraq wants a negotiated end to the war based upon the status quo ante.

Itanium competed at the low-end ( primarily 4-CPU and smaller systems ) with servers based on x86 processors, and at the high end with IBM's POWER architecture and Sun Microsystems ' SPARC architecture.

At the other end of the scale, there were representations from countries and areas where a detailed and sophisticated classification was irrelevant, but which nevertheless needed a classification based on the ICD in order to assess their progress in health care and in the control of disease.
