Paleontologist Peter Mackovicky commented on the Manning team's study, stating that small, primitive dromaeosaurids ( such as Microraptor ) were likely to have been tree-climbers, but that climbing did not explain why later, gigantic dromaeosaurids such as Achillobator retained highly curved claws when they were too large to have climbed trees.

This innovation had two advantages: firstly, the rounded wall absorbed the damage from siege engines much better as it did not provide a perfect angle to aim at ; secondly, the arrowslits in the curved wall allowed arrows to be fired at all angles.

Though curved blades are as old as the sword itself, they did not become widespread in Asia and the Middle East until after the dominance of the Mongol Empire.

Aesthetic experience was not just a rational decision-one did not look at a pleasing curved form and decide it was beautiful-rather it was a matter of basic human instinct and came naturally.

It did not incorporate the curved wishbone booms of the modern windsurfer, but rather a " straight boom " that became curved in use.

It strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane, over 400 miles from the coast of Georgia, on May 20th. It reached a maximum wind speed of 80mph / 130kph that evening then curved away from the mainland and dissipated on May 21st. This hurricane did not affect land, but was the first May hurricane on record in the Atlantic basin, and remains one of only four such systems known today.

The probe has also detected the so-called geodetic effect, a much larger effect caused by space-time being ' curved ' by the mass of the Earth.

Most of the loss, however, is caused by the curved and angled turbine blades, which do not absorb kinetic energy from the fluid mass as well as radially straight blades.

Cylindrical perspective is a form of distortion caused by fisheye and panoramic lenses which reproduce straight horizontal lines above and below the lens axis level as curved while reproducing straight horizontal lines on lens axis level as straight.

Campylobacteriosis is caused by Campylobacter bacteria ( curved or spiral, motile, non – spore-forming, Gram-negative rods ).

This caused the shot to rise above the natural line of sight very soon after leaving the muzzle, and later dropping below the line of sight due to the curved trajectory of the shot.

This treats gravitation as a geometric phenomenon (' curved spacetime ') caused by masses and represents the gravitational field mathematically by a tensor field called the metric tensor.

Newtonian gravitation is now superseded by Einstein's theory of general relativity, in which gravitation is thought of as being due to a curved spacetime, caused by masses.
