Behind him lay the Low Countries, where men were still completing the cathedrals that a later Florentine would describe as `` a malediction of little tabernacles, one on top of the other, with so many pyramids and spires and leaves that it is a wonder they stand up at all, for they look as though they were made of paper instead of stone or marble '' ; ;

( c ) Ligeantia localis, by operation of law, when a friendly alien enters the country, because so long as they are in the country they are within the Sovereign's protection, therefore they owe the Sovereign a local obedience or allegiance ( R v Cowle ( 1759 ) 2 Burr 834 ; Low v Routledge ( 1865 ) 1 Ch App 42 ; Re Johnson, Roberts v Attorney-General 1 Ch 821 ; Tingley v Muller 2 Ch 144 ; Rodriguez v Speyer AC 59 ; Johnstone v Pedlar 2 AC 262 ; R v Tucker ( 1694 ) Show Parl Cas 186 ; R v Keyn ( 1876 ) 2 Ex D 63 ; Re Stepney Election Petn, Isaacson v Durant ( 1886 ) 17 QBD 54 );

An alien, coming into a colony also became, temporarily a subject of the Crown, and acquired rights both within and beyond the colony, and these latter rights could not be affected by the laws of that colony ( Routledge v Low ( 1868 ) LR 3 HL 100 ; 37 LJ Ch 454 ; 18 LT 874 ; 16 WR 1081, HL ; Reid v Maxwell ( 1886 ) 2 TLR 790 ; Falcon v Famous Players Film Co 2 KB 474 ).

* Low brass is a copper-zinc alloy containing 20 % zinc with a light golden color and excellent ductility ; it is used for flexible metal hoses and metal bellows.

Low periods of the Nile during the 11th century continued to add to the landscape of Cairo ; a new island, known as Geziret al-Fil, first appeared in 1174, but eventually became connected to the mainland.

: Low coral atolls in north ; volcanic, hilly islands in south

Low numbers ( below 31 and especially below 12 ) are popular because people play birthdays as their so-called lucky numbers ; hence a win in which these numbers are over-represented is more likely to result in a shared payout.

Hamburg (;, local pronunciation ; Low German / Low Saxon: Hamborg ), officially Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, is the second largest city in Germany, the fifteenth largest German state, and the sixth largest city in the European Union.

The English term has cognates in the other Germanic languages: Old Saxon heƀan " sky, heaven ", Middle Low German heven " sky ", Old Icelandic himinn " sky, heaven ", Gothic himins ; and those with a variant final-l: Old Frisian himel, himul " sky, heaven ", Old Saxon / Old High German himil, Dutch hemel, and modern German Himmel.

He had no amorous feelings toward Mary and sought the marriage for its political and strategic gains ; Philip's aide Ruy Gómez de Silva wrote to a correspondent in Brussels, " the marriage was concluded for no fleshly consideration, but in order to remedy the disorders of this kingdom and to preserve the Low Countries.

His family lived briefly in Savannah, GA in a carriage house owned by Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA ; he wrote a poem about Mrs. Low's House.

* Several pre-1950 talkies were sold to other studios for remakes, among them Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ( 1931 ) and Make Me a Star ( 1932 ) to MGM ; The Letter ( 1929 ), A Farewell to Arms ( 1932 ) and One Sunday Afternoon ( 1933 ) to Warner Brothers ; and " The Dance of Life ( 1929 ), The Story of Temple Drake ( 1933 ) and " Swing High, Swing Low ( 1937 ) to 20th Century Fox.

Digital ammeter designs use an analog to digital converter ( ADC ) to measure the voltage across the shunt resistor ; the digital display is calibrated to read the current through the shunt.

They must not be connected to a source of voltage ; they are designed for minimal burden, which refers to the voltage drop across the ammeter, which is typically a small fraction of a volt.

A simple electric circuit, where current is represented by the letter i. The relationship between the voltage ( V ), resistance ( R ), and current ( I ) is V = IR ; this is known as Ohm's Law.

Its name comes from the information path in the system: process inputs ( e. g., voltage applied to an electric motor ) have an effect on the process outputs ( e. g., speed or torque of the motor ), which is measured with sensors and processed by the controller ; the result ( the control signal ) is " fed back " as input to the process, closing the loop.

The voltage drop across a forward-biased diode varies only a little with the current, and is a function of temperature ; this effect can be used as a temperature sensor or voltage reference.

Before the development of silicon power rectifier diodes, cuprous oxide and later selenium was used ; its low efficiency gave it a much higher forward voltage drop ( typically 1. 4 to 1. 7 V per " cell ", with multiple cells stacked to increase the peak inverse voltage rating in high voltage rectifiers ), and required a large heat sink ( often an extension of the diode ’ s metal substrate ), much larger than a silicon diode of the same current ratings would require.

A capacitor connected to a voltage supply initially causes a current as it accumulates charge ; this current will however decay in time as the capacitor fills, eventually falling to zero.

The power gain of an amplifier depends on the source and load impedances used as well as its voltage gain ; while an RF amplifier may have its impedances optimized for power transfer, audio and instrumentation amplifiers are normally employed with amplifier input and output impedances optimized for least loading and highest quality.

But first, enough electrons must be attracted near the gate to counter the dopant ions added to the body of the FET ; this forms a region free of mobile carriers called a depletion region, and the phenomenon is referred to as the threshold voltage of the FET.

Further gate-to-source voltage increase will attract even more electrons towards the gate which are able to create a conductive channel from source to drain ; this process is called inversion.

LB is relatively new and is ineffective in resolving fragments larger than 5 kbp ; However, with its low conductivity, a much higher voltage could be used ( up to 35 V / cm ), which means a shorter analysis time for routine electrophoresis.

Some wires have a mechanical covering which has no voltage rating ; e. g.: service-drop, welding, doorbell, thermostat.

However, this phenomenon is a special effect caused by the high voltage on the Leyden jar. In the dissectible Leyden jar, charge is transferred to the surface of the glass cup by corona discharge when the jar is disassembled ; this is the source of the residual charge after the jar is reassembled.

Several other experiments followed, with André-Marie Ampère, who in 1820 discovered that the magnetic field circulating in a closed-path was related to the current flowing through the perimeter of the path ; Carl Friedrich Gauss ; Jean-Baptiste Biot and Félix Savart, both of which in 1820 came up with the Biot-Savart Law giving an equation for the magnetic field from a current-carrying wire ; Michael Faraday, who in 1831 found that a time-varying magnetic flux through a loop of wire induced a voltage, and others finding further links between magnetism and electricity.

A well-defined threshold anode voltage must be applied before oscillation will build up ; this voltage is a function of the dimensions of the resonant cavity, and the applied magnetic field.

Two output terminals can be defined at the active devices, which will have complementary states ; one will have high voltage while the other has low voltage, ( except during the brief transitions from one state to the other ).

Q2 collector voltage begins falling ; this change transfers through the fully charged C2 to Q1 base and Q1 begins cutting off.

The epithet Iatromantis ( ; Ἰατρομάντις, Iātromantis, from ὶατρός, " physician ", and μάντις, " prophet ") refers to both his role as a god of healing and of prophecy.

Terms used to describe the motor neuron diseases can be confusing ; in the UK " motor neuron disease " ( with " neuron " sometimes spelt " neurone ") refers to both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( the most common form of disease ) and to the broader spectrum of motor neuron diseases including progressive muscular atrophy, primary lateral sclerosis, and progressive bulbar palsy.

Although MND refers to a specific subset of pathologically similar diseases ; there are numerous other afflictions of motor neurons that are pathologically distinct from MND and have a different clinical course.

In some places, Camus makes the allegory explicit, as when he refers to the plague in terms that describe an enemy in war: " the epidemic was in retreat all along the line ; victory was won and the enemy was abandoning his positions.

The term analog signal usually refers to electrical signals ; however, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and other systems may also convey analog signals.

Abatement refers generally to a lessening, diminution, reduction, or moderation ; specifically, it may refer to:

The phrase " branched-chain amino acids " or BCAA refers to the amino acids having aliphatic side-chains that are non-linear ; these are leucine, isoleucine, and valine.

( 16th century BC ) refers to it is improbable ; but we seem to be justified in holding Anah to be the town " in the middle of the Euphrates " opposite ( ina put ) to which

Scholars have often believed that Ammianus ' work was intended for public recitation for two reasons: the overwhelming presence of accentual clausulae, which implies that it was intended to be read aloud ; and epistle 1063 of Libanius to a Marcellinus of Rome which refers to public recitations.

* MLK refers to a major Canaanite deity probably named Moloch, in which case Abimelech means my father is Moloch-a reference to belief in semi-divine kings ; or

The literal translation of " Im Westen nichts Neues " is " Nothing New in the West ," with " West " being the Western Front ; the phrase refers to the content of an official communiqué at the end of the novel.

There was no John XX ; for example, Gibbon refers to the antipope John as John XXII.

: Science of the mind, or cultural or spiritual science ), a term generally used in German to refer to the humanities and social sciences ; in fact, the term " science " is used more broadly in Europe as a general term that refers to any exact knowledge.

Since the development of cannon, the word " artillery " in practice has largely meant cannon ; in contemporary usage it usually refers to shell-firing guns, howitzers, mortars, and rockets.

; Operational Acceptance Testing ( OAT ): Also known as operational readiness testing, this refers to the checking done to a system to ensure that processes and procedures are in place to allow the system to be used and maintained.

So, according to Obadiah there will not remain even a remnant after Edom ’ s judgment ; This is in contrast to Amos 9: 12, where Amos refers to such a remnant, however, it is stated that their possession will be given to Israel.

In the most common usage, β strand refers to a single continuous stretch of amino acids adopting an extended conformation and involved in backbone hydrogen bonds to at least one other strand ; by contrast, a β sheet refers to an assembly of at least two such β strands that are hydrogen-bonded ( or H-bonded ) to each other.

In this case, " over centre " refers to the ratchet being stable and " locked " in a given position until clicked forward again ; it has nothing to do with the ratchet being unable to turn in the reverse direction.

Trinity refers to the teaching that the one God comprises three distinct, eternally co-existing persons ; the Father, the Son ( incarnate in Jesus Christ ), and the Holy Spirit.

Similarly, one declarative sentence can refer to many propositions ; for instance, " I am hungry " changes meaning ( i. e. refers to different propositions ) depending on the person uttering it.

; Angina pectoris: Angina pectoris literally means " breast pain " that refers to chest pain caused by ischemia of the heart.

; Asystole (" flatline "): Asystole refers to the absence of electrical activity of the heart and is sometimes referred to as a " flatline " because the electrocardiogram shows a solid line due to the absence of electrical activity.

Cryptozoology ( from Greek κρυπτός, kryptos, " hidden " + zoology ; literally, " study of hidden animals ") refers to the search for animals whose existence has not been proven.
