The fish's hyomandibula bone in the hyoid region behind the gills diminished in size and became the stapes of the amphibian ear, an adaptation necessary for hearing on dry land.

As the P-doped layer supplies holes to the depleted region, negative dopant ions are left behind in the P-doped layer (' P ' for positive charge-carrier ions ).

* Base bleed uses a small pyrotechnic charge at the base of the projectile to introduce sufficient combustion products into the low-pressure region behind the base of the projectile responsible for a large proportion of the drag.

David Alexander argues that any earlier declines were simply part of the global Long Depression, and that the Maritimes first fell behind the rest of Canada when the great boom period of the early twentieth century had little effect on the region.

Those that stayed behind and replanted choose high-yielding varieties like Trebbiano and Sangiovese clones such as the Sangiovese di Romagna from the nearby Romagna region.

If there is a grain of historical truth behind these legends, it may be that Suizei's bare narrative points to one of the chieftains of four clans of the Unebi region who disputed among themselves in the struggle to achieve hegemeony in the Yamato area.

The country is divided into four geographic regions: A lowland belt running north to south behind the coast ( Lower Guinea ), which is part of the Guinean forest-savanna mosaic ecoregion ; the pastoral Fouta Djallon highlands ( Middle Guinea ); the northern savanna ( Upper Guinea ); and a southeastern rain-forest region ( Forest Guinea ).

After Soviet forces remained in Eastern and Central European countries, with the beginnings of communist puppet regimes in those countries, Churchill referred to the region as being behind an " Iron Curtain " of control from Moscow.

It is, however, highly probable that when the bulk of the Lombards migrated, a considerable part remained behind and afterwards became absorbed by the Saxon tribes in the region, while the emigrants alone retained the name of Lombards.

This region, particularly the Red River Valley, is flat and fertile ; there are hilly and rocky areas throughout the province left behind by receding glaciers.

Meanwhile, Athens rallied behind Skopje and allowed Greek Macedonia to be used as a transit corridor for NATO forces moving to the region ahead of a possible invasion of Serbia.

Natural features divide the country into seven distinct areas: Ruus al Jibal, including the northern Musandam Peninsula ; the Al Batinah plain running southeast along the Gulf of Oman coast ; the Oman interior behind the Al Batinah coast comprising the Al Hajar Mountains their foothills, and desert fringes ; the coast from Muscat-Matrah around the Ras al Hadd point and down the Arabian Sea ; the offshore island of Masirah ; and finally the barren coastline south to the Dhofar region in the south.

Syria ranks 12th out of 14 countries in the Middle East region, just behind Jordan ( 26. 8 %) and Lebanon ( 29. 0 %) and ahead of Yemen ( 9. 7 %) and Iraq ( 2. 8 %).

Slaveholders in the region, meanwhile, never knew that " Minty ", the petite, five-foot-tall, disabled slave who had run away years before and never come back, was behind so many slave escapes in their community.

It is the second-largest city in the northern Idaho region, behind Coeur d ' Alene and ninth-largest in the state.

The fishery brought in $ 15. 8 million in 2010, coming second behind Georges Bank haddock among the region ’ s 20 regulated bottom-dwelling groundfish.

As the area turned to desert the water evaporated, leaving behind the abundance of evaporitic salts such as common sodium salts and borax, which were subsequently exploited during the modern history of the region, primarily 1883 to 1907.

With 80, 194 inhabitants, Vichy's urban area is the second largest in the Auvergne region behind Clermont-Ferrand.

The word " neck " is sometimes used as a convenience to refer to the region behind the head in some snails, gastropod mollusks, even though there is no clear distinction between this area, the head area, and the rest of the body.

This intermixing helped produce a uniformity of ritual and language in the region, and united the populace behind the Mwami.

* The Macedonian general Parmenion declares for Alexander III and assists in the murdering of the princes of the Lynkestis region, who are alleged to be behind Philip's murder, along with other possible rivals and members of factions opposed to Alexander.

Vienna was ranked the fifth richest NUTS-2 region within Europe ( see Economy of Europe ) with GDP reaching € 38, 632 per capita, just behind Inner London, Luxembourg, Brussels-Capital Region and Hamburg.

The ice in this region reached some 1, 000 m ( 0. 6 mi ) in depth and flowed out of the region behind Lake Geneva some 100 km ( 60 mi ) to the South.

As the shock wave decays, the shocked region decompresses towards more usual pressures and densities.

An aftershock is in the same region of the main shock but always of a smaller magnitude.

* Heliosheath, the region of the heliosphere beyond the termination shock

The gas falling toward this opaque region creates shock waves that further heat the core.

The region between the termination shock and the heliopause acts as a barrier to cosmic rays, decreasing the flux at lower energies by about 90 %.

In August 2009 Voyager 1 was over 16. 5 terameters ( 16. 5 meters, or 16. 5 km, 110. 7 AU, or 10. 2 billion miles ) from the Sun, and thus had entered the heliosheath region between the solar wind's termination shock and the heliopause ( the limit of the solar wind ).

The fall of Sardis was a major shock to the powers of the region ; the Greek poets Callinus and Archilochus recorded the fear that it inspired in the Greek colonies of Ionia, some of which were attacked by Cimmerian and Treres raiders.

Voyager 1 has entered the heliosheath, the region beyond the termination shock.

At the region where this occurs sound waves traveling against the flow reach a point where they cannot travel any further upstream and the pressure progressively builds in that region, and a high pressure shock wave rapidly forms.

It was a real shock for the southern press because Salvador is in the Northeast, the poorest region of Brazil, and the victory was over Internacional, a team from southern Brazil, the region that has the highest Human Development Index of the country.

Often multiple hotspots are seen, reflecting either continued outflow after the shock or movement of the jet termination point: the overall hotspot region is sometimes called the hotspot complex.

The deforestation is a big problem in this department because of the continuous advance of the human activity, creating a great shock to the natural resources of the region.

Realizing that any strong emotion, such as fear before operation, produced shock, he attempted to allay dread by psychic suggestion, also endeavouring to prevent the subjective shock which affects the patient, even when under general anaesthesia, by first anaesthetizing the operative region with cocaine for several days, if necessary, before operating.

The bump spread as three distinct shock waves, resembling a small earthquake throughout the region, alerting residents on the surface over a wide area to the disaster.

However, data in 2012 from NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer ( IBEX ) and corroborated with results from the Voyagers, has found that due to refinements in the relative speed of the heliosphere and the local interstellar magnetic field strength it is believed the heliosphere is prevented from forming a bow shock in the region of our galaxy our sun is currently passing through.

The economy of the region was slow to recover from this shock.

Then the final shock to subsonic speed is oblique with the subsonic region moving from the outside of the vortex to the inside.

Near an expanding H II region is a dense H I region, separated from the undisturbed H I region by a shock front and from the H II region by an ionization front.
