One collector noted that before in the ecosystems natural condition, “ one could find a specimen under almost every suitable rock ,” but that after years of collecting, the population had declined significantly.

Because the two parts of the crystal were in contact with each other, the electrons could be pushed out of the conductive side which had extra electrons ( soon to be known as the emitter ) and replaced by new ones being provided ( from a battery, for instance ) where they would flow into the insulating portion and be collected by the whisker filament ( named the collector ).

It was realized that if there were some way to control the flow of the electrons from the emitter to the collector of this newly discovered diode, an amplifier could be built.

After entertaining their guest, the Allisons were informed by the tax collector that if they could afford silver spoons, then they could certainly afford to pay more taxes.

Although the collector could count the number of holes using a ruler, the usual practice is to use a perforation gauge, which has preprinted patterns of holes in a selection of common perforations, requiring one merely to line up the stamp's perforations with the closest match.

A saltwater thermal sink in the collector could ' flatten ' the diurnal variation in energy output, while airflow humidification in the collector and condensation in the updraft could increase the energy flux of the system.

As an alternate to a solar collector, industrial and urban waste-heat could be used to initiate and sustain the updraft in the vortex.

* This solar cyclonic water distiller with a solar collector pond could adapt the solar collector-chimney system for large-scale desalination of collected brine, brackish-or waste-water pooled in the collector base.

* Energy production and water desalination could be used to support carbon-fixing or food-producing local agriculture, and for intensive aquaculture and horticulture under the solar collector as a greenhouse.

John A. O ' Keefe, long-time tektite researcher Hal Povenmire, and meteorite and tektite collector Darryl Futrell claimed on the basis of behavior of glass melts that the homogenization, which is called " fining ," of silica melts that characterize tektites could not be explained by the terrestrial-impact theory.

The solution was the sharecropping system focused on cotton, which was the only crop that could generate cash for the croppers, landowners, merchants and the tax collector.

This would still be ambiguous if a serial comma were added, as Mandela could then be mistaken for a demigod, although he would be precluded from being a dildo collector.

* De Lima v. Bidwell,: the Supreme Court ruled that a customs collector could not, under a statute providing for taxes on imported goods, collect taxes on goods coming from Puerto Rico after it had been ceded to the United States from Spain, reasoning that although it was not a State, it was under the jurisdiction of U. S. sovereignty, and thus the goods were not being imported from a foreign country.

If the collector identifies himself and his company, a third party could hear the message, thus resulting in a third party disclosure violation.

Other historians claim that ‘ balzan ’ refers to a Sicilian tax collector that could have come to Malta to collect taxes for his Sicilian feudal master.

This tax collector could have resided in Balzan thus giving the village its present name.

Units on a path could be assigned to patrol it, loop, or travel it once, and units would automatically carry out behaviours at each point-for example, a resource collector could be given a path to take it around an enemy base to a water deposit and it would treat this route as its standard resource gathering path.

CMUCL strictly separated type-tagged and immediate data types and the garbage collector would rely on knowing that one half of the CPU registers could only hold tagged types and the other half only untagged types.

sometimes he would be up before dawn, clad as a garbage collector and hurling pails into areaways to exasperate us, and thereafter would hurry to the Bronx Zoo to grimace at the lions and press cigar butts against their paws.

Both are primarily concerned with the uses that can be made of the material that the collector has found.

It helps to be able to route cold air from a sky-facing radiator ( perhaps an air heating solar collector with an alternate purpose ) or evaporative cooler directly through the thermal mass.

A numismatist may or may not be a coin collector and vice versa.

While the original Sterling semi-auto would be classed a " short barrel rifle " under the U. S. National Firearms Act, fully legal long-barrel versions of the Sterling have been made for the U. S. collector market.

) The garbage collector will almost always be closely integrated with the memory allocator.

In this passage Jesus says that an offended Christian should draw the offender's fault to his attention at first privately ; then, if the offender refuses to listen, to bring one or two others, that there may be more than a single witness to the charge ; next, if the offender still refuses to listen, to bring the matter before the church, and if the offender refuses to listen to the church, to treat him as " a Gentile and a tax collector ".

Modern bullion coins for investment or collector purposes do not require good mechanical wear properties ; they are typically fine gold at 24k, although the American Gold Eagle and the British gold sovereign continue to be minted in 22k metal in historical tradition.

To approach the needed square waveform, the collector resistors have to be low resistance.

Since cycles typically constitute a relatively small amount of reclaimed space, the collection cycles can be spaced much farther apart than with an ordinary tracing garbage collector.

* The overhead in code size required for reference counting is very small ( typically a single LOCK INC or LOCK DEC instruction, which ensures atomicity in any environment ), and no separate thread of control is needed for collection as would be needed for a tracing garbage collector.

It is not uncommon for the term philatelist, correctly or incorrectly, to be used to mean a stamp collector.

If a traffic accident occurs on a collector road, or if road construction inhibits the flow, then the entire road system may be rendered useless until the blockage is cleared.

If the collector voltage were zero, the collector current would be limited only by the light bulb resistance and the supply voltage.

The transistor is then said to be saturated-it will have a very small voltage from collector to emitter.

The transistor provides current gain, allowing a relatively large current in the collector to be switched by a much smaller current into the base terminal.

Because the base is narrow, most of these electrons will diffuse into the reverse-biased ( electrons and holes are formed at, and move away from the junction ) base-collector junction and be swept into the collector ; perhaps one-hundredth of the electrons will recombine in the base, which is the dominant mechanism in the base current.

By controlling the number of electrons that can leave the base, the number of electrons entering the collector can be controlled.

Also, as the base – emitter voltage ( V < sub > be </ sub >) is increased the base – emitter current and hence the collector – emitter current ( I < sub > ce </ sub >) increase exponentially according to the Shockley diode model and the Ebers-Moll model.

Bipolar transistors can be made to conduct by exposure to light, since absorption of photons in the base region generates a photocurrent that acts as a base current ; the collector current is approximately β times the photocurrent.

Such devices can be very useful for they can be used without the application of watermark fluid and also allow the collector to look at the watermark for a longer period of time to more easily detect the watermark.

" For example, a collector may be willing to pay more than $ 2. 00 for a United States two-dollar bill, given their low circulation.

Often a fossil would be found by a quarryman, construction worker, or road worker who would sell it to a wealthy collector, and it was the latter who was credited if the find was of scientific interest.
