After World War II, Bulgaria followed the Soviet model of economic development more closely than any other East Bloc country with becoming one of the first members of Comecon ; the new regime shifted the economy from mainly agrarian type towards industrial economy and much of the labour force from the countryside to the city, providing workers for new large-scale industrial complexes.

This primitive type of mask went through several stages of development before being superseded in 1916 by the canister gas mask of 1916.

He pioneered the development of more sophisticated computational methods, called ab initio quantum chemistry methods, that use basis sets of either Slater type orbitals or Gaussian orbitals to model the wave function.

When PNG development started in early 1995, developers decided not to incorporate support for animation, because the majority of the PNG developers felt that overloading a single file type with both still and animation features is a bad design, both for users ( who have no simple way of determining to which class a given image file belongs ) and for web servers ( which should use the image / foo MIME type for stills and video / foo for animations -- GIF notwithstanding ).

A phenotype ( from Greek phainein, ' to show ' + typos, ' type ') is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, phenology, behavior, and products of behavior ( such as a bird's nest ).

This was important in the early development of this type when high frequency signal generation was difficult or expensive.

Damage to endothelium is an early abnormality in the development of scleroderma, and this too seems to be due to collagen accumulation by fibroblasts, although direct alterations by cytokines, platelet adhesion and a type II hypersensitivity reaction have similarly been implicated.

Similarly, mezzo-soprano as a distinct voice type was a 19th century development.

It is colloquially used in reference to a type of non-owned third-party developer that specializes in development for a particular platform.

One of the best examples of this type of architecture is Centrul Civic, a development that replaced a major part of Bucharest's historic city centre with giant utilitarian buildings, mainly with marble or travertine façades, inspired by North Korean architecture.

On the west side of Hawkcraig Point there is a short concrete jetty that was used as part of the development of radio controlled torpedoes during World War One.

During the development of radio, many scientists and inventors contributed to radio technology and electronics.

The discovery and development of the technology made radio receivers, then the primary communications devices of the time, more sensitive and selective.

Armstrong was of the opinion that anyone who had actual contact with the development of radio understood that the radio art was the product of experiment and work based on physical reasoning, rather than on the mathematicians ' calculations and formulae ( known today as part of " mathematical physics ").

EBU Members and the EBU Technical Department have long played an important role in the development of many systems used in radio and television broadcasting, such as:

Hoover's radio conferences played a key role in the early organization, development and regulation of radio broadcasting.

Hezbollah, which started with only a small militia, has grown to an organization with seats in the Lebanese government, a radio and a satellite television-station, and programs for social development.

Recent projects and notable inputs by the EU have included telecommunications ( improvement of telephone exchanges and provision of radio and navigation equipment ), the development of seaweed as an export crop, solar energy systems for the outer islands, the upgrading of the Control Tower and fire fighting services at Tarawa's Bonriki International Airport, outer island social development, health services and extensive support for the Kiribati Vocational Training Programme.

Braun contributed significantly to the development of the radio and television technology: he shared with Guglielmo Marconi the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics.

During the development of radio, he also worked on wireless telegraphy.

LORAN was an American development, advancing the technology of the British GEE radio navigation system that was used early in World War II.

A later development was freeform radio, later commercially developed as progressive rock radio, and still later even more commercially developed as AOR ( Album-Oriented Rock ), in which selections from an album would be played together, with an appropriate introduction.

For whatever reason, there seem to have been no attempts for 30 years, until Jansky's development of radio astronomy in 1932.

The political position of Prime Minister was enhanced by the development of modern political parties, the introduction of mass communication ( inexpensive newspapers, radio, television and the internet ), and photography.
