Since the early 1980s, an elegant solution has been the near-frictionless air bearing linear arm which requires no tracking drive mechanism other than the record groove itself.

Since September 2008, the " one-ticket " solution has been introduced also as regards a rail connection with Włocławek, as a " regional ticket ".

Since the IP address itself does not necessarily provide location information presently, today a " best efforts " approach is to use an available database to find that user and the physical address the user chose to associate with that telephone number — clearly an imperfect solution.

Since the late 1980s, the federal United States Environmental Protection Agency and the state DEP have worked to clean up contamination in adjacent areas, but a final remedy for the site itself has remained on hold in recent years, as local officials and citizens fight with the government agencies and Gould over the best solution.

Since the late 1990s, the use of free and open source software ( FOSS ) has arisen as a stronger solution.

Since the search space is large, this process will produce a “ sufficient ” rather than “ globally optimal ” solution.

Since the first nontrivial normal subgroup of the symmetric group on n letters is always the alternating group on n letters, and since the alternating groups on n letters for are always simple and non-abelian, and hence not solvable, it also says that the general polynomials of all degrees higher than the fifth also have no solution in radicals.

Since 1845, Fowler's solution was a leukemia treatment.

The point where the red line tangentially touches a blue contour is our solution. Since, the solution is a maximization of

Since there are only 4 nodes in the puzzle, the solution is simple.

The set of ( p < sub > i </ sub >, n < sub > i </ sub >) is thus a sampling of a continuous vector field V. The implicit function f is found by integrating the vector field V. Since not every vector field is the gradient of a function, the problem may or may not have a solution: the necessary and sufficient condition for a smooth vector field V to be the gradient of a function f is that the curl of V must be identically zero.
