Strictly speaking, the bulk modulus is a thermodynamic quantity, and in order to specify a bulk modulus it is necessary to specify how the temperature varies during compression: constant-temperature ( isothermal ), constant-entropy ( adiabatic ), and other variations are possible.

They move at up to and push a stream of constant-temperature air into the station.

Temperature is the thermodynamic conjugate variable to entropy, thus the conjugate process would be an isothermal process in which the system is thermally " connected " to a constant-temperature heat bath.

Its massive contours are rooted in the simple need of man, since he is always incomplete, to complete himself.

The class 1, stations on these clear channels are protected to their 0.1-mv./m. groundwave contours against daytime cochannel interference.

class 1, -- B stations are protected at night to their 0.5-mv./m. 50-percent time skywave contours against cochannel interference.

and independent silhouettes are apt to coincide with the recognizable contours of the subject from which a picture starts ( if it does start from a subject ).

Southeast of Lake Chad, the regular contours of the terrain are broken by the Guéra Massif, which divides the basin into its northern and southern parts.

However, recent work has shown that for languages which make this distinction, all clicks have a uvular, or even pharyngeal, rear closure, and that the clicks explicitly described as uvular are in fact clusters / contours of a click plus a pulmonic or ejective component, in which the cluster / contour has two release bursts, the forward ( click ) and then the rearward ( uvular ) component.

In statistics, a bivariate random vector ( X, Y ) is jointly elliptically distributed if its iso-density contours — loci of equal values of the density function — are ellipses.

The concept extends to an arbitrary number of elements of the random vector, in which case in general the iso-density contours are ellipsoids.

Sensuality and passion are suggested rather by the rhythm and music that shape the vague contours of the lady.

# The contours and plane sections of the sphere are circles.

That is, affricates are stop – fricative contours.

The flat planes and the contours also are indicative of Fauvist influence.

Etching prints are generally linear and often contain fine detail and contours.

British Shorthairs have dense, plush coats that are often described as crisp or cracking, referring to the way the coat breaks over the contours of the cat's body.

The equidensity contours of a non-singular multivariate normal distribution are ellipsoids ( i. e. linear transformations of hyperspheres ) centered at the mean.

* The starting point of planning is the individuality of man and closeness to nature, and the aesthetic value of nature and use of natural contours of the landscape are retained wherever possible.

The quarter-sawn maple action parts are mounted on a Steinway Metallic Action Frame, which consists of seamless brass tubes with rosette-shaped contours, force-fitted with maple dowels and brass hangers to ensure the stability of the regulation.

Esthetic responses are greatly heightened: colors seem more intense, textures richer, contours sharpened, music more emotionally profound, the spatial arrangements of objects more meaningful.

Having garnered inspiration from the monochromatic prints of Edgar Degas featured in a 1994 exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the motifs of his Landscapes in the Chinese Style series are formed with simulated Benday dots and block contours, rendered in hard, vivid color, with all traces of the hand removed.

This means that as the number of contours increases, Euler diagrams are typically less visually complex than the equivalent Venn diagram, particularly if the number of non-empty intersections is small.

Reification can be explained by progress in the study of illusory contours, which are treated by the visual system as " real " contours.

However, in the vernacular and day to day world, the representation of relief ( contours ) is popularly held to define the genre, such that even small-scale maps showing relief are commonly ( and erroneously, in the technical sense ) called " topographic ".

Contrast sensitivity is also lost, so contours, shadows and color vision are less vivid.

On the other hand, when a law is " directed to legitimate local concerns, with effects upon interstate commerce that are only incidental " ( United Haulers Association, Inc .), that is, where other legislative objectives are credibly advanced and there is no patent discrimination against interstate trade, the Court has adopted a much more flexible approach, the general contours of which were outlined in Pike v. Bruce Church, Inc., 397 U. S. 137, 142 ( 1970 ) and City of Philadelphia v. New Jersey, 437 U. S. at 624.

Although the Royal Iris also has a large front-angled wheelhouse, it greatly matches the contours of the ship as does much of the steelwork replacement by Cammell Laird.

He often enlargened the eyes, better defined the contours of the face, and gave a much stronger jaw than the subject may have possessed in life.

To achieve this continuous grade ( about 1 in 80 for much of the way ), the line followed natural contours and employed cuttings and embankments built of stone and slate blocks without mortar.

The report comments on the surprisingly large differences, and the fact that the original Fletcher-Munson contours are in better agreement with recent results than the Robinson-Dadson, which appear to differ by as much as 10 – 15 dB especially in the low-frequency region, for reasons that are not explained.

Like most of Brindley's canals, it was a contour canal, following the contours as much as possible, to reduce the number of embankments and cuttings required, although there was an awkward bend near Salwarpe church, as the obvious route to the north of the building was specifically excluded by the Act.

His class-and race-conscious radicalism, though neglected at some periods, laid out the contours of much subsequent debate and discussion of African-American social activists.

Soon you will experience the alternate switching of the reference system from that of the ship, where this is still and the windows show moving pictures, to that of the outside world, in which the horizon is perfectly still and the contours of the ship, out of focus, move much like if you were standing on a huge surfboard.

A distinctive feature of Chesapecten is that the radial ribs on its shell are crossed by much smaller, rough, concentric ribs, which follow the contours of the edges of the shell ( are " conmarginal ").

Called internally “ the Nikon for women ”, the EM was designed to provide style ( exterior contours sculpted by Italian automobile stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro ), convenience ( a system of dedicated accessories ), ease of use ( as much automation as possible in 1979 ), low cost ( simplified manufacturing process ) and the prestige of the Nikon name ( prominently displayed on the pentaprism housing ) for initiates to SLR-dom.

One thing is certain, however, and that is that he is far more slavish to the detailed accents, phrasings and contours of the music he deals with than a confident dance creator need be.

He believed colour to be no more than an accessory to drawing, explaining: " Drawing is not just reproducing contours, it is not just the line ; drawing is also the expression, the inner form, the composition, the modelling.

The canal was a typical Brindley contour canal, following the contours to avoid costly cuttings and embankments, which resulted in a less than direct route in places.

At frequencies other than 1 kHz, the loudness level in phons is calibrated according to the frequency response of human hearing, via a set of equal-loudness contours, and then the loudness level in phons is mapped to loudness in sones via the same power law.

It is well established that human hearing is more sensitive to some frequencies than others, as demonstrated by equal-loudness contours, but it is not well appreciated that these contours vary depending on the type of sound.

Stippling has traditionally been favoured over hatching in biological and medical illustration, since it is less likely than hatching to interfere visually with the structures being illustrated ( the lines used in hatching can be mistaken for actual contours ), and also since it allows the artist to vary the density of shading more subtly to depict curved or irregular surfaces.

It was less rectilinear than the Valiant, with coke-bottle side contours and heavily revised front and rear end styling.

Having no intermediate locks on the tub boat sections, the canal had to follow the contours exactly between the inclined planes, and this made its route even more circuitous than most canals.

Their large size and soft appearance together with their rich color and gentle contours make them very attractive, and as such its popularity has grown as a show bird rather than a utility breed.

The 1963 LeSabre received a major facelift with even boxier body contours than 1961-62 models and revised rooflines on four-door hardtop sedans.

In examples where a white shape appears to occlude black objects on a white background, the white shape appears to be brighter than the background, and the edges of this shape produce the illusory contours.

Combined with the rather low tunings most of these guitarists use, and the fact that they are usually played by both rhythm guitarists ( if there are two ), the pinch harmonic notes leap out, creating more complex and twisted melodic contours than otherwise possible.

Six residence hall sections, A through F, existed on nine numbered levels, but with no single section boasting more than five floors, as the structure followed the contours of the site in an irregular horseshoe open on the north side.

This portion of the route is very serpentine, as it was constructed to follow the contours of the land by moving laterally, rather than up-and-down or via cuts.

A guard may however be tailored for an even tighter fit to the body interior contours than a roll-away net.
