Nevertheless it remains the case that, although spoken American and British English are generally mutually intelligible, there are enough differences to cause occasional misunderstandings or at times embarrassment — for example some words that are quite innocent in one dialect may be considered vulgar in the other.

* Despite its heritage, Applesoft lacked commands common to most other Microsoft BASIC interpreters, such as INSTR ( which searched for a substring in a given string ; this had to be done manually with loops and the MID $ function ), PRINT USING ( which formatted numbers with commas and currency signs according to a format string ), and INKEY $ ( which checked for a keypress without stopping the program as Applesoft's GET command — analogous to the INPUT $ function — did, although a PEEK location did provide this functionality ).

This last great work, the Four Apostles, was given by Dürer to the City of Nuremberg — although he was given 100 guilders in return.

( Aside from its historic role as a total-computable-but-not-primitive-recursive function, Ackermann's original function is seen to extend the basic arithmetic operations beyond exponentiation, although not as seamlessly as do variants of Ackermann's function that are specifically designed for that purpose — such as Goodstein's hyperoperation sequence.

However, although this approach — the " shift ... from the quasi-historical or legendary materials ... to the folktale line of inquiry ," was seen as a step in the right direction, " The Bear's Son " tale was seen as too universal.

Much of biochemistry deals with the structures, functions and interactions of cellular components such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and other biomolecules — although increasingly processes rather than individual molecules are the main focus.

One is an amino group, — NH < sub > 2 </ sub >, and one is a carboxylic acid group, — COOH ( although these exist as — NH < sub > 3 </ sub >< sup >+</ sup > and — COO < sup >−</ sup > under physiologic conditions ).

Toe-clips and toestraps and clipless pedals help keep the foot locked in the proper position on the pedals, and enable the cyclist to pull as well as push the pedals — although not without their hazards, e. g. may lock foot in when needed to prevent a fall.

During the early 1920s, he and his father-in-law developed the Stockade Building System for producing light-weight, weatherproof, and fireproof housing — although the company would ultimately fail.

During the January 1969 sessions for the Let It Be album, the Beatles played a slow impromptu version of " Mailman, Bring Me No More Blues " — although not written by Holly, it was popularized by him — with Lennon mimicking Holly's vocal style ; the recording was eventually released in the mid-1990s on Anthology 3.

The Fundamentals of Engineering exam-the first ( and more general ) of two licensure examinations for most U. S. jurisdictions — does now cover biology ( although technically not BME ).

Three railway stations — those of the German, French and Swiss networks — lie within the city ( although the Swiss ( Basel SBB ) and French ( Bâle SNCF ) stations are actually in the same complex, separated by Customs and Immigration facilities ).

While Zhuyin is not used as a mainstream writing system, it is still often used in ways similar to a romanization system — that is, for aiding in pronunciation and as an input method for Chinese characters on computers and cellphones.

Apollonius in the Conics further developed a method that is so similar to analytic geometry that his work is sometimes thought to have anticipated the work of Descartes — by some 1800 years.

Yet our state is similar to a cancer cell — with its messianism and expansionism, its totalitarian suppression of dissent, the authoritarian structure of power, with a total absence of public control in the most important decisions in domestic and foreign policy, a closed society that does not inform its citizens of anything substantial, closed to the outside world, without freedom of travel or the exchange of information.

Submarine channels are similar to land rivers, but they are formed by density currents — underwater flow mixtures of sand, mud and water that are denser than sea water and so sink and flow along the bottom.

A search in the genomes of vertebrates turned up a set of analogous genes, which were found to play similar roles in the mouse biological clock — and therefore almost certainly in the human biological clock as well.

Confucius never stated whether man was born good or evil, noting that ' By nature men are similar ; by practice men are wide apart ' — implying that whether good or bad, Confucius must have perceived all men to be born with intrinsic similarities, but that man is conditioned and influenced by study and practise.
