* Like quicksort, merge sort on arrays has considerably better data cache performance, often outperforming heapsort on modern desktop computers because merge sort frequently accesses contiguous memory locations ( good locality of reference ); heapsort references are spread throughout the heap.

Like much of modern and contemporary art, noise music takes characteristics of the perceived negative traits of noise mentioned below and uses them in aesthetic and imaginative ways.

Like the Lee-Enfield bolt system, the Mosin-Nagant system can be suitable for use with modern " Magnum " calibre centrefire rifle cartridges ( the BOHICA Arms. 50 BMG being one ), although it is worth noting that its standard Russian 180-grain 7. 62x54R ammunition is comparable to some loadings of the 7 mm Remington Magnum.

Like many of its neighbors, modern Duarte is a bedroom community.

Like the original 750 Sabre and VF 750, this 750 Magna engine uses a 360-degree crankshaft and chain-driven double-overhead camshafts.

Like most V8 engine designs of the 1950s, the block features a deep skirt where the casting extends below the crankshaft centerline, forming a very rigid crankcase gallery.

Like the 390, the 401's crankshaft and connecting rods are forged steel.

Like the earlier Ferranti steam generating plants, these placed half of the engine each side of a centrally-mounted alternator, thus reducing the maximum load on the crankshaft.

Like the 7. 4-litre engine the 600 was a six-cylinder direct-injection pushrod overhead valve unit, but the cylinder head was split into two, with each head and gasket unit covering three-cylinder bores, other important features designed to enhance reliability were a gear driven, rather than chain drive, camshaft, mounted lower in the block ; a nitrided crankshaft running in strip-bearings and chromium-plated piston-rings.

Like other consonants, clicks can be described using four parameters: place of articulation, manner of articulation, phonation ( including glottalization ), and airstream mechanism.

Like other succulent plants, most cacti employ a special mechanism called " Crassulacean acid metabolism " ( CAM ) as part of photosynthesis.

Like newspapers, the broadcast media ( radio and television ) have been used as a mechanism for propaganda from their earliest days, a tendency made more pronounced by the initial ownership of broadcast spectrum by national governments.

Like the other common Russian army pistol of this era, the Makarov, the Stechkin uses a simple unlocked blow-back mechanism and the double-action trigger.

Like its predecessor, Accent, Mach used a single shared-memory mechanism for physically passing the message from one program to another.

Like the console typewriter, these were built around a typing mechanism that was mechanically the same as an IBM Electric typewriter.

Like Mario Kart DS, it includes on-line play ; it also allows racers to play as user-created Miis ( after unlocking the Mii character ) as well as Mario series characters and comes packaged with the Wii Wheel peripheral, which can act as the game's primary control mechanism when coupled with a Wii Remote.

Like most temperate-latitude trees, cherry seeds require exposure to cold in order to germinate ( a mechanism the tree evolved to prevent germination during the autumn which would then result in the seedling being killed by winter temperatures ).

Like NDRIs, amphetamine increases the levels of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain via reuptake inhibition ; however, the more important mechanism by which amphetamines cause stimulation is through the direct release of these catecholamines from storage vesicles in cells.

Like the Seeburg M100C, it played up to fifty 45 rpm records, but featured a horizontal playback mechanism unlike the M100C.

Like TLR 4 much work is currently being done to elucidate the mechanism of the response to these organisms.

Like a regular stationary exercise bike, these stay in one place and the user pedals against some kind of resistance mechanism such as a fan or alternator but in a recumbent position.

Like the Voodoo Graphics, there was no interrupt mechanism, so the driver had to poll the Rush in order to determine whether a command had completed or not ; the indirection through the 2D component added significant overhead here and tended to back up traffic on the PCI interface.

Like the Mini, the 128 has a transverse-mounted engine, however, the significant breakthrough with the 128 was the use of unequal length drive shafts and an ingenious clutch release mechanism originally developed for the Autobianchi Primula which allowed the engine and gearbox to be located side by side, a layout which has since become ubiquitous for small cars.

Like other DNA cytosine-5 methyltransferases the human enzyme recognizes flipped out cytosines in double stranded DNA and operates by the nucleophilic attack mechanism.

Like its predecessor the ImageWriter, the ImageWriter II utilized a 9-pin C. Itoh mechanism, however was significantly faster in draft-mode where it could print 250 characters per second.
