He deconstructed many of the Greek plays ’ finely constructed plots ; he reduced some, exaggerated others of the nicely drawn characters of Menander and of Menander ’ s contemporaries and followers into caricatures ; he substituted for or superimposed upon the elegant humor of his models his own more vigorous, more simply ridiculous foolery in action, in statement, even in language.

Such a theory of quantum gravity would yield the same experimental results as ordinary quantum mechanics in conditions of weak gravity ( gravitational potentials much less than c < sup > 2 </ sup >) and the same results as Einsteinian general relativity in phenomena at scales much larger than individual molecules ( action much larger than reduced Planck's constant ), but moreover be able to predict the outcome of situations where both quantum effects and strong-field gravity are important ( at the Planck scale, unless large extra dimension conjectures are correct ).

All hormones that act by regulation of gene expression have two consequences in their mechanism of action ; their effects are produced after a characteristically long period of time and their effects persist for another long period of time, even after their concentration has been reduced to zero, due to a relatively slow turnover of most enzymes and proteins that would either deactivate or terminate ligand binding onto the receptor.

In summary, Huxley writes that the ability to think straight is not reduced while under the influence of mescaline, visual impressions are intensified, and the human experimenter will see no reason for action because the experience is so fascinating.

He cut the Queen, reduced the action to two places ( the court and a forest in Wales ).

These cytokine factors are released into general circulation, where they migrate to the circumventricular organs of the brain due to easier absorption caused by the blood – brain barrier's reduced filtration action there.

The Corps had been reduced to approximately 6, 000 – 7, 000 men, 20 – 30 % of its original strength in the course of continuous action since late June including in the Falaise pocket ; losses in officers and NCOs had been especially high.

At daylight on 2 June, Albemarle's strength was reduced to 44 ships, but with these he renewed the battle tacking past the enemy four times in close action.

A general pardon for Bastille Day, plus an individual action by President Jacques Chirac, reduced the sentence to seven months.

For example salbutamol, used to treat problems in the pulmonary system, can have effects on the heart and circulation if taken orally ; these effects are greatly reduced by inhaling smaller doses direct to the required site of action.

After the removal of the scale, the roots are washed again, drained and finally reduced to a pulp by beating them in mortars or subjecting them to the action of the wheel rasp.

In July 2009, action by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation to protect threatened fish reduced irrigation pumping to parts of the California Central Valley causing canals leading into Huron and the surrounding areas and the farms that rely on them to dry up.

Mountbatten commented: " Each island is a veritable fortress, the assault against which cannot be contemplated unless the defences are neutralised, or reduced to a very considerable extent by prior action.

* In continuing legal action against Exxon over the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989, punitive damages against the company have been reduced from USD $ 5 billion to.

At this point, if legislative action is not taken, the benefits would be reduced.

It is similar to artemesinin in mode of action but demonstrates a reduced ability as a hypnozoiticidal compound, instead acting more significantly to decrease gametocyte carriage.

Through the action of free fall ( e. g., Space Shuttle orbiting Earth ), the local effects of gravity are greatly reduced, thus creating a microgravity environment.

Thomas Sutpen returns from the war and begins to repair his home, whose hundred square miles have been reduced by carpetbaggers and punitive northern action to one, and dynasty.

In addition to field geology training, the astronauts also participated in training for the use of the spacesuits, adapting to the reduced lunar gravity, landing and recovery post-mission, sample collecting, maneuvering in the Lunar Roving Vehicle, survival training and preparation for other technical aspects of the mission.

Acceleration effects including gravity are also reduced with SC cut crystals as is frequency change with time due to long term mounting stress variation.

This form of heat transfer can be useful for cases where conventional convection fails to provide adequate heat transfer, e. g., in miniature microscale devices or under reduced gravity conditions.

A's gravity produces a tidal force on B which distorts its gravitational equilibrium shape slightly so that it becomes elongated along the axis oriented toward A, and conversely, is slightly reduced in dimension in directions perpendicular to this axis.

Anyone who has committed the crime of solicitation dealt with in canon 904 is to be suspended from celebrating Mass and hearing sacramental confessions and, if the gravity of the crime calls for it, he is to be declared unfit for hearing them ; he is to be deprived of all benefices and ranks, of the right to vote or be voted for, and is to be declared unfit for all of them, and in more serious cases he is to be reduced to the lay state.

In preparation for a space assignment, Payette obtained her commercial pilot licence and logged 120 hours as a research operator on board reduced gravity aircraft.

Boussinesq approximation ), it is common to use the reduced gravity

way that acceleration due to gravity g should enter into the equations of motion is in the reduced gravity where

This is because the only way density enters the problem is via the reduced gravity which undergoes only a sign change when changing from the warm room flow to the cold room flow.

where is the reduced gravity:

The resulting theories were sometimes referred to as Kaluza-Klein theories, as Kaluza and Klein constructed, nearly a century ago, a five-dimensional gravitational theory, that when dimensionally reduced on circle, its 4-dimensional non-massive modes describe electromagnetism coupled to gravity.

A siphon works because gravity pulling down on the taller column of liquid causes reduced pressure at the top of the siphon ( formally, hydrostatic pressure ).

This reduced pressure means gravity pulling down on the shorter column of liquid is not sufficient to keep the liquid stationary so it flows from the upper reservoir, up and over the top of the siphon.

Weightlessness inside a reduced gravity aircraft.

A reduced gravity aircraft is a type of fixed-wing aircraft that provides brief near-weightless environments in which to train astronauts, conduct research and film motion pictures.

Inventors of reduced gravity aircraft were the German brothers Fritz & Heinz Haber in 1950.

This form of heat transfer can be useful when conventional convection heat transfer is inadequate ; e. g., in miniature microscale devices or under reduced gravity conditions.

Hergé accurately represented the methods of movement on the Moon: the reduced gravity makes Tintin and friends hop in huge jumps.
