Offshores typically congregate in groups of 20 – 75, with occasional sightings of larger groups of up to 200.

While there may still be many Faulknerian Lucas Beauchamps scattered through the rural South, such men appear to be a vanishing breed.

Thus the cocktail party would appear to be the ideal system, but there is one weakness.

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

It does not appear that we will be delivered from our situation by articles on The National Purpose.

`` We were requested by the Secretary General, as I understand it, to discuss with you such matters as appear to us to be relevant, and we are not of course either a formal group or a committee in the sense of being guided by any rules or regulations of the Secretariat.

But because of the peculiar nature of the military situation in Laos, the Soviet leader must be tempted to let things ride -- a course that would appear to cost him little on the spot, but would bog Washington in a tactical mess.

The odds thus appear favorable that the secretary's neck may be spared.

if a receiver or trustee for any such partnership or corporation, duly appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, makes an assignment of the claim, or any part thereof, with respect to which an award is made, or makes an assignment of such award, or any part thereof, payment shall be made to the assignee, as his interest may appear ; ;

in the case of any assignment of an award, or any part thereof, which is made in writing and duly acknowledged and filed, after such award is certified to the Secretary of the Treasury, payment may, in the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury, be made to the assignee, as his interest may appear.

Until this hunter-killer operation can be performed by spacecraft, manned aircraft appear to be the only means available to us.

Multiplication, subtraction, and addition can then be accomplished as they appear in the equation by starting at the left end of the equation and working toward the right.

From the wealth of material and the wide variety of different electronic techniques perfected in the past few years we have selected a few examples which appear to be headed for use in the immediate future and which offer completely new tools in medical research.

These droplets appear to be ellipsoids, and it is mathematically convenient to assume that they are.

Therefore, the only unknown structural feature would appear to be whether the hydrogen atoms are located symmetrically ( 1 ) or asymmetrically ( 3 ).

( 3 ) For anionics, these micelles appear to be roughly spherical assemblages in which the hydrocarbon tails come together so that the polar groups ( the ionized ends ) face outward towards the aqueous continuous phase.

It would appear that it should be possible to determine unique mechanisms for the thermal and photochemical reactions in both the liquid and gas phases and to determine values for activation energies of some of the intermediate reactions of atoms and free radicals, as well as information on the heat of dissociation of the carbon-halogen bond.

The broods of workers that appear later tend to be bigger than the first ones, probably because they are better fed.

Well developed respiratory bronchioles, on the other hand, appear to be the only form taken by the distal airways in type 2.

Thus, a child's Skeletal Age `` dots '' may be classified as `` advanced '' when they appear above the middle curve, `` moderate '' when they appear immediately above or below the middle curve, and `` delayed '' when they appear below the lower curve.

Onsets, Completions, and Skeletal Ages ( Hand ) of boy 34 and girl 2 may be directly compared and classified, using only those Skeletal Ages which appear immediately below the Onset Profile and the Completion Profile.

At the same time, turboprop propulsion began to appear for smaller commuter planes, making it possible to serve small-volume routes in a much wider range of weather conditions.

In general, the smaller the dot pitch, the sharper the picture will appear.

Objects of similar size should appear ever smaller the further they are from the viewer.

Thus the back wheel of a cart will appear slightly smaller than the front wheel.

David depicts the father with his back to the women, shutting them out of the oath making ritual ; they also appear to be smaller in scale than the male figures.

Some relatively lightweight exoplanets, only a few times more massive than Earth ( now known by the term Super-Earth ), are known as well ; statistical studies now indicate that they actually outnumber giant planets while recent discoveries have included Earth-sized and smaller planets and a handful that appear to exhibit other Earth-like properties.

Airports may also appear under this subcategory, including air traffic control and refuelling operations for international airports through to smaller domestic exposures.

Note that from the perspective of the smaller-mass object — from the moon, in the preceding example — a spacecraft might appear to orbit in an irregular path about the or point, but from the perspective above the orbital plane, it becomes clear that both the smaller mass and the spacecraft are orbiting the larger mass ( or more precisely, all of the objects are in orbit around the barycenter of the system ); they simply have overlapping orbital paths.

Since the large ribosomal subunit is 28S ( approximately 5kb ) and the small ribosomal subunit is 18S ( approximately 2kb ) two prominent bands will appear on the gel, the larger at close to twice the intensity of the smaller.

Vast hotels and department stores, hundreds of smaller shops, theatres, dance-halls, cafés, restaurants, bars, beer palaces, wine-houses and clubs, all started to appear.

The general conditions of sexual discrimination appear to be ( 1 ) the acceptance of one mate precludes the effective acceptance of alternative mates, and ( 2 ) the rejection of an offer will be followed by other offers, either certainly, or at such high chance that the risk of non-occurrence will be smaller than the chance advantage to be gained by selecting a mate.

In " The Robots of Death " ( 1977 ), the Fourth Doctor tried to explain this to his companion Leela, using the analogy of how a larger cube can appear to be able to fit inside a smaller one if the larger cube is farther away, yet immediately accessible at the same time ( see Tesseract ).

* Many were worried that ozone holes might start to appear over other areas of the globe but to date the only other large-scale depletion is a smaller ozone " dimple " observed during the Arctic spring over the North Pole.

However, since many of these distinct populations show no significant genetic differences, what may appear to be a large number of species is considered a much smaller number of distinct species by most ichthyologists.

* Ramming smaller enemies with the orbital cannons that appear above and below the ZIG.

At the same time, turboprop propulsion began to appear for smaller commuter planes, making it possible to serve small-volume routes in a much wider range of weather conditions.

In the light of modern historical research and ecumenical discussions, the miaphysite and Chalcedonian positions appear to differ mainly in their usage of the key term " nature " ( Greek: φύσις, phýsis, as used in the original texts of the relevant Ecumenical Councils ) rather than in the underlying Christology, but other smaller differences of interpretation or emphasis may also exist.

They appear to have occupied these islands as far east as the main islands in the Solomon Islands, including Makira and possibly the smaller islands farther to the east.

For observing smaller star clusters, nebulae and galaxies binocular magnification is an important factors for visibility because these objects appear tiny at typical binocular magnifications.

Because of length contraction the galaxies further away, which are travelling away from the observer the fastest, will appear smaller.

alt = An electron micrograph of many rotavirus particles, two of which have several smaller, black spheres which appear to be attached to them

Other even smaller groups had their own rulers, but their size means that they do not often appear in the histories.

Since the animals did not have mineralized armor nor even tough organic exoskeletons like those of insects, their bodies were flattened as they were buried and fossilized, and smaller or internal features appear as markings within the outlines of the fossils.

Cirrocumulus generally occur at higher altitudes than altocumulus, and thus the " cloudlets " appear smaller as they are more distant from observation at ground level.
