This result suggests a very high temperature at the solid surface of the planet, although there is the possibility that the observed radiation may be a combination of both thermal and non-thermal components and that the observed spectrum is that of a black body merely by coincidence.

However, in general, the books only feature mental battles when there is some reason for mind-to-mind contact ( for example, Trump contact ) and magic or Trump is involved in all three of the above conflicts, so it is not clear whether Zelazny intended his characters to have such a power ; the combination of Brand's " living trump " powers and his high Psyche ( as presented in the roleplaying game ) would have guaranteed him victory over Corwin.

Due to the combination of high life expectancy and low fertility rate, there is a serious aging problem among Shanghai's registered residents: as of 2009 only 8. 3 % of the total were under the age of 14, while 22. 54 % were over 60.

Often, this initial crack is caused by an increase in blood pressure within the body ( in combination with movement ), forcing an expansion across its exoskeleton, leading to an eventual crack that allows for certain organisms such as spiders to extricate themselves.

The initial single cell combination is already dividing and by the time of entry into the uterus, the egg might have already reached the blastocyst stage.

Some organizations use them extensively in combination with a software development methodology to progress from initial specification to an implementation plan and to communicate that plan to an entire team of developers and stakeholders.

From an initial design point of view, engineers often use a quantity termed the specific speed to identify the most suitable pump type for a particular combination of flow rate and head.

A combination of lunar gravity, solar gravity, and the flattening of the Earth at its poles causes a precession motion of the orbital plane of any geostationary object, with a period of about 53 years and an initial inclination gradient of about 0. 85 degrees per year, achieving a maximum inclination of 15 degrees after 26. 5 years.

However, due to a combination of relatively poor sensitivity, slower than normal scan rates ( typically 2-3 °/ min-due to much heavier crucible ) and unknonwn activation energy, it is necessary to deduct about 75-100 ° C from the initial start of the observed exotherm to suggest a maximum temperature for the material.

Whether the initial forcing mechanism is internal or external, the response of the climate system might be fast ( e. g., a sudden cooling due to airborne volcanic ash reflecting sunlight ), slow ( e. g. thermal expansion of warming ocean water ), or a combination ( e. g., sudden loss of albedo in the arctic ocean as sea ice melts, followed by more gradual thermal expansion of the water ).

During the early stages, a combination of perceived pleasure acting as positive reinforcement and desire to respond to social peer pressure may offset the unpleasant symptoms of initial use, which typically include nausea and interrupted sleep patterns.

However, due to a combination of relatively poor sensitivity, slower than normal scan rates ( typically 2-3 °/ min-due to much heavier crucible ) and unknown activation energy, it is necessary to deduct about 75-100 ° C from the initial start of the observed exotherm to suggest a maximum temperature for the material.

In the 1992 budget his proposal to advance to a 20 % basic rate of income tax through a combination of a narrow initial band, a cut in tax on deposit interest and curtailment of tax allowances was hailed as an elegant way of combining populism with progressivism, though events were later to lend support to Nigel Lawson's view that this approach was strategically inept.

In sharp contrast to this population genetic phenomenon of regression to the mean, which is best thought of as a combination of a binomially distributed process of inheritance ( plus normally distributed environmental influences ), the term " regression to the mean " is now often used to describe completely different phenomena in which an initial sampling bias may disappear as new, repeated, or larger samples display sample means that are closer to the true underlying population mean.

Indeed, it is usually necessary to see several moves ahead in exact detail before launching a combination, or else the initial sacrifice would not be undertaken.

Thus a combination must be at least three moves long, but the longer it takes to recoup the initial sacrifice, the more impressive the combination.
