Cleveland went without major league baseball for two seasons until gaining a team in the American Association ( AA ) in 1887.

The tradeoff comes in terms of power and accuracy ; AA # 2 is designed for small cases, and will burn inconsistently in the large 44 Magnum case.

AA # 9, however, will fill the case much better, and the slow burn rate of AA # 9 is ideal for magnum handgun rounds, producing 20 % higher velocities ( at maximum levels ) while still producing less pressure than the fast burning AA # 2.

Since its completion in 1995, the AA Highway has allowed Greenup residents to more easily travel to Maysville, Kentucky as well as Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio.

While AA has pamphlets that suggest meeting formats, groups have the autonomy to hold and conduct meetings as they wish " except in matters affecting other groups or A. A. as a whole ".

In an August 2011 video documentary on the relative battery life of the 3DS and Game Gear, GigaBoots. com documents that their Game Gear, Model 2110g ( 2nd Revision ), lasted 7 hours and 26 minutes on 6 regular Duracell AA batteries ; this unexpectedly long battery life led them to speculate that battery technology must have improved since the Game Gear was launched.

" Consequently, drug addicts who do not suffer from the specifics of alcoholism involved in AA hoping for recovery technically are not welcome in " closed " meetings unless they have a desire to stop drinking alcohol.

Thus the principles of AA have been used to form many numbers of other fellowships for those recovering from various pathologies, each of which in turn emphasizes recovery from the specific malady which brought the sufferer into the fellowship.

In some cases, where other twelve-step groups have adapted the AA steps as guiding principles, they have been altered to emphasize principles important to those particular fellowships, and to remove gender-biased language .< ref name =" NABULLETIN13 ">

A child of a parent with NF-1 or NF-2 and an unaffected parent will have a 50 %- 100 % chance of inheriting the disorder, depending on whether the affected parent is heterozygous ( Aa ) or homozygous ( AA ) for the trait (" A " depicts the affected dominant allele, while " a " depics the recessive allele ).

NiMH batteries are very common for AA ( penlight-size ) batteries, which have nominal charge capacities ( C ) ranging from 1100 mA · h to 2800 mA · h at 1. 2 V, measured at the rate that discharges the cell in five hours.

The highest capacity low-self-discharge cells have 2000 – 2500 mA · h and 1000 mA · h capacities for AA and AAA cells respectively, compared to 2800 mA · h and 1300 mA · h for standard AA and AAA cells.

They have won sectional finals in 1977 ( AA ), 1995 ( A ), 1996 ( A ), and 2002 ( A ).

In January 1990, Vaughan gave a speech at an AA meeting ; a recording and transcript of the speech have been widely circulated on the internet.

Most NiMH AA and AAA cells are rated at 1. 2 V, but have a flatter discharge curve than alkalines and can usually be used in equipment designed to use alkaline batteries.

If the genotype frequencies are in Hardy-Weinberg proportions resulting from random mating, then we will have freq ( AA ) = p < sup > 2 </ sup > for the AA homozygotes in the population, freq ( aa ) = q < sup > 2 </ sup > for the aa homozygotes, and freq ( Aa ) = 2pq for the heterozygotes.

If mating is random, then new individuals will have freq ( AA ) = p < sup > 2 </ sup > for the AA homozygotes in the population, freq ( aa ) = q < sup > 2 </ sup > for the aa homozygotes, and freq ( Aa ) = 2pq for the heterozygotes.
