In Belgium, the title of Duke of Brabant ( historically the most prestigious in the Low Countries, and containing the federal capital Brussels ), if still vacant, has been awarded preferentially to the eldest son and heir presumptive of the king, other male dynasts receiving various lower historical titles ( much older than Belgium, and in principle never fallen to the Belgian crown ), such as Count of Flanders ( King Leopold III's so-titled brother held the title when he became the realm's temporary head of state as prince-regent ) and Prince of Liège ( a secularised version of the historical prince-bishopric ; e. g., the present King Albert II until he succeeded his older brother Baudouin I ).

Low ceruloplasmin is also found in Menkes disease and aceruloplasminemia, which are related to, but much rarer than Wilson's disease.

Low scrub covers much of the surface area.

In 1566, unlike the situation after the Eighty Years War and today, Protestantism in the Low Countries was mainly concentrated in the south ( roughly modern Belgium ), and much weaker in the north ( roughly now the Netherlands ), and iconoclasm in the north began later, after news of the events in Antwerp was received, and was more successfully resisted by local authorities in some towns, although still succeeding in most.

By the early 80s, the Kinks revived their commercial fortunes considerably by adopting a much more mainstream arena rock style ; and the band's four remaining studio albums for Arista — Low Budget ( 1979 ), Give the People What They Want ( 1981 ), State of Confusion ( 1983 ) and Word of Mouth ( 1984 )— showcased a decidedly canny and opportunistic approach.

Low ash, sulfur, and carbonate coals are prized for power generation because they do not produce much boiler slag and they do not require as much effort to scrub the flue gases to remove particulate matter.

His father, Clovis Lowe, had been part owner in 1832 of nearby Low and Burbank's Grant, which contains much of Mount Adams and Mount Madison.

It is not that high inflation causes low unemployment ( as in Milton Friedman's theory ) as much as vice-versa: Low unemployment raises worker bargaining power, allowing them to successfully push for higher nominal wages.

In late 2008, the faculty decided that the school should move to an Honors / Pass / Low Pass ( H / P / LP ) grading system, much like those in place at Yale and Stanford Law Schools.

It is classified as the original East Low German dialect of the Brandenburg margraviate, but it has been much influenced by the East Central German dialects and by Standard German.

According to L. A. producer Take, Low End Theory " literally picked up where Sketchbook left off — with much better promotion, much better sound ".

Low End Theory has garnered much attention after multiple performances by Thom Yorke, who played for the normal price of ten dollars.

In some ways it is similar to George Orwell's much earlier Down and Out in Paris and London, German investigative reporter Günter Wallraff's Ganz Unten ( The Lowest of the Low ), and John Howard Griffin's Black Like Me.

In 1566, the Beeldenstorm or Iconoclast Fury swept across much of the Low Countries, justified by the Calvinist belief that statues in a house of God were idolatrous images which must be destroyed.

Do we ourselves offer Mr. Low less of a crusade??

Barge and canal systems were nonetheless of great, perhaps even primary, economic importance until after World War I in Europe, particularly in the more developed nations of the Low Countries, France, Germany, Poland, and especially Great Britain which more or less made the system characteristically its own.

Low explosives are compounds where the rate of decomposition proceeds through the material at less than the speed of sound.

Austrian rulers were more or less ready to exchange Luxembourg and other territories in the Low Countries.

Low speed modes would ostensibly dominate the distribution, since low speed modes would require ever less energy, and prima facie a zero-speed mode would require zero energy and its energy partition would contain an infinite number of atoms.

Low viscosity leads to gentler, less explosive eruptions.

The 40 megajoules per kilogram or less kinetic energy of projectiles launched at up to 9000 m / s velocity ( if including extra for drag losses ) towards Low Earth Orbit is a few kilowatt-hours per kilogram if efficiencies are relatively high, which accordingly has been hypothesized to be under $ 1 of electrical energy cost per kilogram shipped to LEO, though total costs would be far more than electricity alone.

SEALs and Danish Jægerkorpset commandos boarded Air Force Pave Low helicopters and seized Khairkhwa on the road less than two hours later.

Low earth orbiting satellites are less expensive to launch into orbit than geostationary satellites and, due to proximity to the ground, do not require as high signal strength ( Recall that signal strength falls off as the square of the distance from the source, so the effect is dramatic ).

Low birthweight is a risk factor for CP — and premature infants usually have low birth weights, less than 2. 0 kg, but full-term infants can also have low birth weights.

*# Low glomerular filtration rate ( GFR ) ( RRT often recommended to commence at a GFR of less than 10-15 mls / min / 1. 73m < sup > 2 </ sup >).

Low self-discharge NiMH batteries typically have significantly less internal resistance than traditional NiMH batteries.

* Low income countries had GNI per capita of US $ 1, 005 or less.

Nevertheless, major setbacks in Spain at Almanza and along the Rhine in Southern Germany, had caused Marlborough great anxiety and made the Dutch even less cooperative, vetoing the Duke's plans for any major action in the Low Countries.

Low solidity rotors, on the other hand, are best used with centrifugal pumps, waterladder pumps and chain and washer pumps, where the torque needed by the pump for starting is less than that needed for running at design speed.

Low insertion force ( LIF ) sockets reduce the issues of insertion and extraction but the lower the insertion force of a conventional socket, the less reliable the connection is likely to be.

Low voltage also required less insulation for safe distribution within buildings.

Though West Francia ( the future France ) was far less menaced by the Vikings than the Low Countries, it was heavily hit nonetheless.

Its remains have been found in what is now Portugal, Spain, France ( excluding the central massif ), Great Britain and Ireland, the Low Countries, and Germany between the Elbe and Rhine, with an extension along the upper Danube into the Vienna basin ( Austria ), Hungary and Czech Republic, with Mediterranean outposts on Sardinia and Sicily ; there is less certain evidence for direct penetration in the east.

While the speed was not nearly enough to reach orbit ( less than half of the 9, 000 m / s delta-v required to reach Low Earth Orbit ), it was a major achievement at much lower cost than most ballistic missile programs.

Like Toyooka in Hyōgo Prefecture, Maizuru has a climate resembling the Hokuriku region rather than the rest of Kansai, though it is less wet than other Hokuriku towns during the late autumn and winter because its location on a deep inlet means the northerly winds driven by the Siberian High and Aleutian Low do not produce as much rain and / or snow.

Low Bradfield is less historic, having been largely destroyed in the Great Sheffield flood of 1864.

High Bradfield has a sister village, Low Bradfield which lies less than to the south west but at a considerably lower altitude down in the upper Loxley valley.

Between these two escarpments the anticline has been subject to differential erosion so that geologically distinct areas of hills and vales lie in roughly concentric circles towards the centre ; these comprise the Greensand Ridge, most prominent on the north side of the Weald, where it includes Leith Hill, the highest hill in south-east England, the low-lying clay vales of the Low Weald, formed of less resistant Weald Clay, and finally the more highly resistant sandstones of the High Weald at the centre of the anticline, whose elevated forest ridge includes most notably Ashdown Forest.

* Low cycle fatigue ( typically less than 10 < sup > 3 </ sup > cycles ) is associated with widespread plasticity in metals ; thus, a strain-based parameter should be used for fatigue life prediction in metals and alloys.
