Therefore, since sound is in fact an infinitesimal pressure difference propagating through a fluid, the speed of sound in that fluid can be considered the fastest speed that " information " can travel in the flow.

Since the pressure difference determines the vertical position of the float this is a measured of the wind speed.

Any resulting difference in speed between the engine and gearbox is evened out as the clutch slips slightly during re-engagement.

The mundane speed difference between charged particles and field quanta is on the order of one to a million, more or less.

As browsers have gained support for native hardware accelerated graphics in the form of Canvas and WebGL, as well as Just in Time compiled JavaScript, the speed difference has become less noticeable.

Bernoulli's principle states that this pressure difference must be accompanied by a speed difference.

* A phase difference is analogous to two athletes running around a race track at the same speed and direction but starting at different positions on the track.

But the time difference ( phase difference ) between them is a constant-same for every pass since they are at the same speed and in the same direction.

From this analysis, it is clear that the transmission speed is a characteristic of the teleprinter while the shift ( the difference between the tones representing mark and space ) is a characteristic of the modem.

The energy that drives a sailboat is harnessed by manipulating the relative movement of wind and water speed: if there is no difference in movement, such as on a calm day or when the wind and water current are moving in the same direction at the same speed, there is no energy to be extracted and the sailboat will not be able to do anything but drift.

Aside from the high-definition transfer, the 2008 BFI releases are identical-the apparent five-minute difference in running time is explained by the Blu-ray running at the theatrical speed of 24 frames per second, while the DVD has been transferred at the slightly faster PAL video rate of 25 frames per second.

When the transmission detects a speed difference of greater than 20 % between the front and rear axle sets, the transmission progressively sends power to the rear wheels.

The speed that the boat is motored at also affects this-a lower speed can make a big difference to the energy required to move a hull.

The magnitude of the velocity difference at impact is called the closing speed.

If this wave interacts with a material at which the horizontal component ( green sinusoid ) travels at a different speed than the vertical component ( blue sinusoid ), the two components will fall out of the 90 degree phase difference ( required for circular polarization ) changing the Kerr Ellipticity.

The anisotropy of the Magneto Optic material permittivity causes a difference in the speed of LCP and RCP light, which will cause a change in the angle of polarized light.

* Slip ( motors ), in an induction motor, the difference in speed between the frequency supplied to an induction motor and rotor shaft speed

The wind speed difference between the surface and vertical height at which the pressure reads should be no greater than so as to prevent the upper portions of the band from shearing off.

Now we can argue that the irresistible fate of Oedipus Rex was nothing more than the irresistible unconscious longings of Oedipus projected outward, but this externalization of unconscious conflict makes all the difference between a story and a clinical case history.

You may therefore convert the gun into a small-game and plinking arm, although the difference in the point of impact ( Jet vs. rim-fire ) can be somewhat disconcerting.

These factors can make the difference between waste and efficiency in any benefit program.

If it is assumed that the formula given by Lodge of cosec Af applies, the pressure difference along the major axes can be calculated from the angle of inclination of the major axis, and from this the interfacial tension can be calculated.

The length of the arrow indicates amount of slowing or acceleration at Completion over that at Onset, and the difference in months can be read roughly by referring the arrow to the age scale along the base of each figure, or more precisely by referring to the original data in the appropriate tables.

Furthermore, one can find a neighborhood of Q in which the difference function is monotone, for since it is analytic it can have only a finite number of extrema in any interval.

Thus if E is sufficiently small, there can be only one intersection of C and Af near Q, for if there were more than one intersection for every E then the difference between C and Af near Q would not be a monotone function.

The fact that there can not be any limit points of the set except in closed intervals follows from the argument used in Lemma 1, namely, that near any tangent point in the C-plane the curves C and Af are analytic, and therefore the difference between them must be a monotone function in some neighborhood on either side of the tangent point.

Soil type, drainage, or degree of slope can make the difference between good crops and poor ones.

It can mean the difference between participation and inaction, spiritual growth and decay.

Anyone can draw his own conclusions from this difference.

Motivation usually makes the difference between " good " and " bad ," but motivation also includes the aspect of ignorance ; so a well-intended action from an ignorant mind can easily be " bad " in that it creates unpleasant results for the " actor.

Even if the resolution of an analog signal is higher than a comparable digital signal, the difference can be overshadowed by the noise in the signal.

The sum, difference, product and quotient of two algebraic numbers is again algebraic ( this fact can be demonstrated using the resultant ), and the algebraic numbers therefore form a field, sometimes denoted by A ( which may also denote the adele ring ) or < span style =" text-decoration: overline ;"> Q </ span >.

If there is a substantial difference between characters ' ranks, the conflict is generally over before the weaker character can react.

It can be defined as a difference, when measured along different axes, in a material's physical or mechanical properties ( absorbance, refractive index, conductivity, tensile strength, etc.

The difference can also be felt by holding the hand in front of the lips.

In LS AAS background absorption can only be corrected using instrumental techniques, and all of them are based on two sequential measurements, firstly, total absorption ( atomic plus background ), secondly, background absorption only, and the difference of the two measurements gives the net atomic absorption.

To feel or see the difference between aspirated and unaspirated sounds, one can put a hand or a lit candle in front of one's mouth, and say pin and then bin.

Therefore bandwidth can be defined as the difference between the lower and upper half power points.

) or " plus or minus 1dB " ( roughly the sound level difference people usually can detect ).

Such payments shall be made to small domestic producers of lead as long as the market price for common lead at New York, New York, as determined by the Secretary, is below 14-1/2 cents per pound, and such payments shall be 75 per centum of the difference between 14-1/2 cents per pound and the average market price for the month in which the sale occurred as determined by the Secretary.

Such payments shall be made to small domestic producers of zinc as long as the market price for prime western zinc at East Saint Louis, Illinois, as determined by the Secretary, is below 14-1/2 cents per pound, and such payments shall be 55 per centum of the difference between 14-1/2 cents per pound and the average market price for the month in which the sale occurred as determined by the Secretary.

If the resulting difference for the particular State is less or more than these extremes, the State's allotment percentage must be raised or lowered to the appropriate extreme.

If the resulting difference for the particular State is less or more than these extremes, the State's Federal share must be raised or lowered to the appropriate extreme.

Regardless of how much of a slob you knew yourself to be, you could be certain they would never find out -- and even if they did it would make no difference.

There appeared to be no difference in the distribution of anti-A and anti-B activity in group O serum, though in two group O donors ( J. F. and E. M. ) only one type of agglutinin was found in the regions of low anionic binding capacity ( Figs. 1 and 2 ).

The psychological incompatibility of these emotional states seems to be reflected in, or based on, this marked difference.

If anyone asked us, after we made the remark that the suffering was a bad thing, whether we should think it relevant to what we said to learn that the incident had never occurred and no pain had been suffered at all, we should say that it made all the difference in the world, that what we were asserting to be bad was precisely the suffering we thought had occurred back there, that if this had not occurred, there was nothing left to be bad, and that our assertion was in that case mistaken.

This is one difference between Bird and Dylan which should be pointed out.

Tooth deformity may be the result of excessive thumb- or finger-sucking, tongue-thrusting, or lip-sucking -- but it's important to remember that there's a difference between normal and excessive sucking habits.

The `` moving '' picture of the train or the wave coming at the audience is, to be sure, more intense than a still picture of the same subject, but the difference is really one of degree ; ;

consequently, the vulnerability to social difference should not be attributed to the stress on personal community in Protestant congregations ; ;

But there seemed to be some difference of opinion as to how far the board should go, and whose advice it should follow.
