Mimivirus possesses many characteristics which place it at the boundary of living and non-living.

The PMIP experiments are limited to studying the equilibrium response of the atmosphere ( and such surface characteristics as snow cover ) to changes in boundary conditions ( e. g., insolation, ice-sheet distribution, CO < sub > 2 </ sub > concentration, etc.

The deepest probably originate from the boundary between the lower mantle and the core ; roughly 15-20 % have characteristics such as presence of a linear chain of sea mounts with increasing ages, LIPs at the point of origin of the track, low shear wave velocity indicating high temperatures below the current location of the track, and ratios of He < sup > 3 </ sup > to He < sup > 4 </ sup > which are judged consistent with a deep origin.

The C-isotope chemostratigraphic characteristics obtained for contemporaneous cap carbonates in different parts of the world may be variable in a wide range owing to different degrees of secondary alteration of carbonates, dissimilar criteria used for selection of the least altered samples, and, as far as the C-isotope data are concerned, due to primary lateral variations of δ < sup > l3 </ sup > C < sub > carb </ sub > in the upper layer of the ocean.

* In 1962, Richard Williams of RCA found that liquid crystals had some interesting electro-optic characteristics and he realized an electro-optical effect by generating stripe-patterns in a thin layer of liquid crystal material by the application of a voltage.

* Stratum, a layer of rock or soil with internally consistent characteristics

* Physical layer: This layer specifies the physical, electrical, functional and procedural characteristics to control the physical link between a DTE and a DCE.

For example, a descriptive system widely adopted in Australia is based on structural characteristics based on life-form, plus the height and amount of foliage cover of the tallest layer or dominant species.

Eventually the propagating thrust tip may reach another effective decollement layer and a composite fold structure will develop with characteristics of both fault-bend and fault-propagation folds.

Due to the plethora of available hardware technologies with widely varying characteristics, this is perhaps the most complex layer in the OSI architecture.

The characteristics of a silicon based TFT depend on the crystalline state ; that is, the semiconductor layer can be either amorphous silicon, microcrystalline silicon, or it can be annealed into polysilicon.

In order for the cells to move from the epithelium of the epiblast through the primitive streak to form a new layer, the cells must undergo an epithelial to mesenchymal transition ( EMT ) to lose their epithelial characteristics, such as cell-cell adhesion.

The adhesive contained impurities that were able to penetrate the lacquer seal layer and chemically attack the metalized reflective aluminium layer, causing it to oxidize and lose its reflective characteristics.

The core provides about 80 % of the tensile strength, while the sheath is a durable layer that protects the core and gives the rope desirable handling characteristics.

In geology and related fields, a stratum ( plural: strata ) is a layer of sedimentary rock or soil with internally consistent characteristics that distinguish it from other layers.

The shape of the conductor, the crystallographic orientation of the grains in the metal, procedures for the layer deposition, heat treatment or annealing, characteristics of the passivation and the interface to other materials also affect the durability of the interconnects.

The surface layer is the layer of a turbulent fluid most affected by interaction with a solid surface or the surface separating a gas and a liquid where the characteristics of the turbulence depend on distance from the interface.

Over the next seven years, both parties waged an intense legal war over several of the dessert's specific characteristics, including the change of the name, the second layer of jam in the middle of the cake, and the substitution of margarine for butter in the baking of the cake.

This layered anatomy of the rotator cuff tendons provides a glimpse into the various types of tears that could form given the different fiber characteristics of each layer.

It was revealed that he had been mutagenically altered by his uncle with walrus DNA, which would presumably add certain walrus characteristics to his physiology, such as a layer of blubber to keep him warm in freezing water and the ability to hold his breath for a much longer time than a human.

The thickness of such a layer is several Debye lengths thick, a value whose size depends on various characteristics of plasma ( e. g. temperature, density, etc.

Similar physics is involved between two plasma regions that have different characteristics ; the transition between these regions is known as a double layer, and features one positive, and one negative layer.

Haeckel did not support natural selection, rather believing in a Lamarckian inheritance of acquired characteristics ( Lamarckism ).

Another theory that had some support at that time was the inheritance of acquired characteristics: the belief that individuals inherit traits strengthened by their parents.

In keeping with this social function, various characteristics of the games tend to support that aspect well, and these have become quite common across the genre.

Compilers for general purpose languages will typically have some restrictions as well as enhancements to better support the unique characteristics of microcontrollers.

* Neurodiversity, a movement in support of civil rights of people with atypical neurological characteristics

This view of the animal origins of distinctive human characteristics later received support from Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

From this point of view, several common characteristics still support the Articulata concept — segmented body ; paired appendages on each segment ; pairwise arrangement of waste-elimination organs in each segment ; and above all, a rope-ladder-like nervous system based on a double nerve strand lying along the belly.

* Patrol combatant-combatants whose mission may extend beyond coastal duties and whose characteristics include adequate endurance and sea keeping providing a capability for operations exceeding 48 hours on the high seas without support.

Testing analyzes characteristics such as flammability, maximum operating temperature, electrical tracking, heat deflection, and direct support of live electrical parts.

This argument has become less relevant given that most ladder logic programmers have a software background in more conventional programming languages, and in practice implementations of ladder logic have characteristics, such as sequential execution and support for control flow features, that make the analogy to hardware somewhat inaccurate.

One of the defining characteristics of natural Everglades ecology is its ability to support itself in a nutrient-poor environment, and the introduction of fertilizers began to alter the plant life in the region.

Both of these notable works lent great initial support for the notion that leadership is rooted in characteristics of the leader.

The findings provide support for a 200-year-old theory of evolution that has been largely dismissed: Lamarckian evolution, which states that acquired characteristics can be passed on to offspring.

Mainstream psychological and sociological research identifies characteristics of human groups including groupthink, peer pressure and mass hysteria that support this view, but fall short of identifying all group-entities as malignant.
