Western Union failed in its attempts to engineer a replacement ( AUTODIN II ), leading to the development of an acceptable packet-switched network by BBN ( the developer of the ARPANET ) which became the foundation of today's Internet.

Though they might seem boring and rudimentary by today's standards, Bosko's films were quite popular in their day and he rivaled Mickey Mouse in popularity in the early 1930s, although the Disney cartoons would eventually surge ahead in popularity on the basis of stronger plot and character development.

Loomis also made a significant contribution to the development of ground-controlled approach technology, a precursor of today's instrument-landing systems that used radar to enable ground controllers to " talk down " aircraft pilots and help them to land safely when poor visibility made visual landings difficult or impossible.

The hardback edition saw the Internet as one of the " important precursors of the information highway ... suggestive of future " ( p. 89 ); he noted that the " popularity of the Internet is the most important single development in the world of computing since the IBM PC was introduced in 1981 " ( p. 91 ) but " today's Internet is not the information highway I imagine, although you can think of it as the beginning of the highway ", the information highway he envisioned would be as different from the Internet as the Oregon Trail was to Interstate 84.

In addition to its role as the predecessor of the VM family, CP / CMS played an important role in the development of operating system ( OS ) theory, the design of IBM's System / 370, the time-sharing industry, and the creation of a self-supporting user community that anticipated today's free software movement.

Especially in today's global and multicultural world, students of Intercultural Relations can use their training in many fields both internationally and domestically, and ofter pursue careers in social work, law, community development, religious work, and urban development.

A major part of Bethlehem Steel's success was the development of the H-beam, a precursor of today's ubiquitous I-beam.

The two main objectives are to find new ways and sources of financing in development cooperation, predominantly pursuing the Millennium Development Goals of the UN and the worldwide propagation of the eco-social market economy, which is considered to be one of today's key strategies of initiative.

Over time, the area south of Front Street to today's water's edge south of ' Queen's Quay ' was filled in with landfill, creating piers and area for industrial development.

" There are far more openings for new Shakespeares in today's world ," he said, " for never before in its development has mankind achieved such unanimity of spirit: so when another such artist appears, he will be able to express the whole world in himself, like a musician.

Since then, however, tyre development has progressed greatly, so that today's hot rod street cars typically use wide, grooved tyres which perform better than the slicks of the past ; while the cheater slicks available today, both for nostalgic appearance of street cars and for competition use in classes where DOT approved street tyres are required, have followed their own line of development, diverging from true slick tyre construction to become a distinct tyre design in themselves.

Lomborg campaigned against the Kyoto Protocol and other measures to cut carbon emissions in the short-term, and argued for adaptation to short-term temperature rises as they are inevitable, and for spending money on research and development for longer-term environmental solutions, and on other important world problems such as AIDS, malaria and malnutrition.

The rate at which an egg evolves into a tadpole is dependent on the temperature ; the pace of development increases with temperature.

File: Faraday. png | Michael Faraday ( 1791-1867 ): showed how a changing magnetic field can be used to generate an electric current ( Faraday's law of induction ), applied this knowledge to the development of several electrical machines, described principles of electrolysis, early pioneer in the field of low temperature study

Keeping the eggs at a constant temperature is essential for healthy embryo development.

After the development of quantum mechanics, it was discovered that tunneling of the wavefunctions of the protons through the repulsive barrier allows for fusion at a lower temperature than the classical prediction.

Aside from the effect on temperature, UHIs can produce secondary effects on local meteorology, including the altering of local wind patterns, the development of clouds and fog, the humidity, and the rates of precipitation.

The development of oxide-coated filaments in the mid-1920s reduced filament operating temperature to a dull red heat ( around 700 ° C ), which in turn reduced thermal distortion of the tube structure and allowed closer spacing of tube elements.

There were still a number of technical challenges to overcome, including the development of a case that would be able to contain the corrosive C-3 explosive, and be tough enough to withstand months of field handling in wide temperature ranges.

The period of development from egg to adult varies among species and is strongly influenced by ambient temperature.

Another development was in cryogenics: Heike Kamerlingh Onnes ( 1913 Nobel prize winner in physics ) liquefied helium for the first time ( 1908 ) and later managed to reach a temperature of less than one degree above the absolute minimum.

This rule has been challenged, however, by military development of thermobaric weapons, which employ a combination of negative shock wave effects and extreme temperature to incinerate objects within the blast radius.

Main drivers are computer design ( specifically CFD and finite element analysis ) and development of advanced materials: Base materials with superior high temperature strength ( e. g., single-crystal superalloys that exhibt yield strength anomaly ) or thermal barrier coatings that protect the structural material underneath from ever higher temperatures.

In most species, large amounts of rain will indirectly cause slower development due to drop in temperature.

Light rain or a very humid environment, by acting as an insulator, will permit a greater core temperature within the maggot mass, resulting in faster development.

" Because insects are cold-blooded animals, their rate of development is more or less dependent on ambient temperature.

The time required for development in the mosquito ( the extrinsic incubation period ) ranges from 10 to 21 days, depending on the parasite species and the temperature.

Facial thermographs are in development, which allow machines to identify certain emotions in people such as fear or stress, by measuring the temperature generated by blood flow to different parts of their face.

The development of noble metal high temperature electrodes ( using metals such as yttrium, iridium, tungsten, or palladium, as well as the relatively high value platinum, silver or gold ) allows the use of a smaller center wire, which has sharper edges but will not melt or corrode away.

* Like nylon underwear and other synthetic materials, pantyhose trap bacteria and increase the temperature in the genital area, and so they can be the proximate cause or a contributing factor in the development of yeast infections ( candidiasis ) in wearers.

By controlling the temperature and varying the duration in which the film is soaked in the development chemicals and by skipping certain chemical processes ( or partially skipping all of them ), cinematographers can achieve very different looks from a single film stock in the laboratory.

This means crocodilians do not have genetic sex determination, but instead have a form of environmental sex determination which is based upon the temperature embryos are subjected to early in their development.

Relative humidity in these caves is typically 90 % and the temperature is a cool, conditions favoring the development of penicillium moulds that produce blue-green veins throughout the cheese.

Development rate depends on temperature, and to speed development some northern and high altitude species sunbathe.
