I asked the same questions inside the launch-control rooms of an Atlas missile base in Wyoming, where officers who wear sidearms are manning the `` commit buttons '' that could start a war -- accidentally or by design -- and in the command centers where other pistol-packing men could give orders to push such buttons.

When these groups were first formed many prominent and accomplished decorators could not have had the advantage of school training since interior design courses were rare and undeveloped during their youth.

These two, Heritage and Drexel, chose too not to produce the exactly matching design for every piece, but a collection of correlated designs, each of which could stand alone.

The Analytical Engine incorporated an arithmetic logic unit, control flow in the form of conditional branching and loops, and integrated memory, making it the first design for a general-purpose computer that could be described in modern terms as Turing-complete.

The novelty of the design lay in the means by which it could be broken down into three pieces for stowage.

A review of the methods used in trials of antipsychotics, despite stating that the overall quality is " rather good ," reported issues with the selection of participants ( including that in schizophrenia trials up to 90 % of people who are generally suitable do not meet the elaborate inclusion and exclusion criteria, and that negative symptoms have not been properly assessed despite companies marketing the newer antipsychotics for these ); issues with the design of trials ( including pharmaceutical company funding of most of them, and inadequate experimental " blinding " so that trial participants could sometimes tell whether they were on placebo or not ); and issues with the assessment of outcomes ( including the use of a minimal reduction in scores to show " response ," lack of assessment of quality of life or recovery, a high rate of discontinuation, selective highlighting of favorable results in the abstracts of publications, and poor reporting of side-effects ).

Development of this type of database involved not only design issues but the development of complex interfaces whereby researchers could access existing data as well as submit new or revised data.

Theoretically, novel approaches in biotechnology, such as synthetic biology could be used in the future to design novel types of biological warfare agents.

The idea of a stored-program computer was already present in the design of J. Presper Eckert and John William Mauchly's ENIAC, but was initially omitted so that it could be finished sooner.

With von Neumann's design, the program, or software, that EDVAC ran could be changed simply by changing the contents of the memory.

Natural selection would favor the zombies, since their design is ( we could suppose ) a bit simpler.

Factors affecting a design decision could be:

The design goal of CDPD included location independence and independence fro, service provider, so that coverage could be maximized ; application transparency and multiprotocol support, interoperability between products from multiple vendors.

Reasoning that users know more about the buildings they need than any architect could, he produced and validated ( in collaboration with Sarah Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein ) a " pattern language " designed to empower anyone to design and build at any scale.

Internal microcode execution in CISC processors, on the other hand, could be more or less pipelined depending on the particular design, and therefore more or less akin to the basic structure of RISC processors.

A single name worldwide would increase the possibility that advertising campaigns, brochures, and promotional materials could be used across countries and simplify product design and manufacturing.

The design has the same precision on all columns, but when calculating polynomials, the precision on the higher-order columns could be lower.

IBM kept some secrets, as Coppersmith explains: " After discussions with NSA, it was decided that disclosure of the design considerations would reveal the technique of differential cryptanalysis, a powerful technique that could be used against many ciphers.

The design was laid out so it could be connected together with no manual wiring at all, allowing the boards to be built in a completely automated fashion.

Headrick soon redesigned the Pluto Platter by reworking the rim thickness and top design, creating a more controllable disc that could be thrown accurately.

A pair of these expensive and bulky machines could only be afforded by companies with a serious need to communicate drawings, design sketches or signed documents between distant locations, such as an office and factory.

While light, highly maneuverable aircraft did have some advantages in fighter-versus-fighter combat, those could usually be overcome by sound tactical doctrine, and the design approach of the Italians and Japanese made their planes ill-suited as interceptors or attack aircraft.

The answers derived by these means may determine not only the temporal organization of the dance but also its spatial design, special slips designating the location on the stage where the movement is to be performed.

The work is executed in England ( by hand ) and can be worked in any desired design and color.

Moreover, on complex projects, design work must be completed and orders for machinery and equipment placed months or even years before construction can commence.

In this case also the design of the thermometer can be modified to reduce the helium film flow.

The design of a mechanical interlocking frame is much like a mechanical puzzle, but once understood, the principles can be applied to any track and signal arrangement.

If the background of design is too smooth, or you wish to create a wood-grained effect, it may be added at this time with a dull tool such as the handle of a fine paintbrush.

If design head has a deep cavity, clay lid will be quite thick at this point ; ;

Good service starts with product design and planning: Many products seem to be designed for a production economy, not for a service one.

Certainly every educator involved in interior design should be a member and active in the work of one of these organizations.

At the end of its letter was the information that applicants for this position `` must also be prepared to teach costume design and advertising art ''.

It is only fair to demand that teachers of courses in English, history, psychology and so on be as well informed in matters of art, especially interior design, as are the art teachers educated in the academic subjects.

Since there are almost no schools in the country offering graduate work in interior design this rule cannot at present be observed.

Perhaps the best way to indicate the versatility of design that characterizes the use of plastics in signs and displays would be to look at what is happening in only one of the areas in this complex field -- changeable signs.

In fact, they went so far as to caution the writer that if he attempted to design a section exclusively for married students there should be, at the beginning, some `` hindsight '' study ; ;

We need many more studies of this sort if the design of written languages is to be put on a sound basis.

The tube design which forms the basis of the theoretical discussion shall be described now.

As it will be shown later, the field-flattening properties of the interstage and output fiber coupler comprise indeed the main advantage of such a design.

The developmental process involves the individual's progressively experiencing a sense of dignity and achievement resulting from having completed tasks, having kept commitments, and having created something ( however small or simple -- even a doll dress of one's own design rather than in the design `` it ought to be '' ).

Power analysis can assist in study design by determining what sample size would be required in order to have a reasonable chance of rejecting the null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis is true.

Its wide use can be attributed to its simplicity of design and manufacture, and the economy of creating it.

Forty years later, the state appointed Elisabet Ney to design a monument and sculpture of him to be erected at his gravesite.

Architects in the UK who have made contributions to the profession through design excellence or architectural education, or have in some other way advanced the profession, might until 1971 be elected Fellows of the Royal Institute of British Architects and can write FRIBA after their name if they feel so inclined.
