Most mathematical problems considered in the Śulba Sūtras spring from " a single theological requirement ," that of constructing fire altars which have different shapes but occupy the same area.

The newer Ibanez models began incorporating more modern elements into their design such as radical body shapes, slimmer necks, 2-octave fingerboards, slim pointed headstocks, higher-output electronics, humbucker / single-coil / humbucker ( H / S / H ) pickup configurations, locking tremolo bridges and different finishes.

Neurons exist in a number of different shapes and sizes and can be classified by their morphology and function.

Baroque pearls have a different appeal ; they are often highly irregular with unique and interesting shapes.

A wide range of shapes for different uses developed early and remained essentially unchanged during the Greek history.

Because of the great diversity of forms found in this group, the Proteobacteria are named after Proteus, a Greek god of the sea, capable of assuming many different shapes, and it is therefore not named after the genus Proteus.

As an informal shorthand, economists sometimes refer to different recession shapes, such as V-shaped, U-shaped, L-shaped and W-shaped recessions.

Many experimental designs used different shapes and degrees of spiraling ; one widely produced example was the Metford rifling in the Pattern 1888 Lee-Metford service rifle.

A steel instrument that produces sound using shapes of the mouth and attempting to pronounce different vowels with ones mouth.

He was studied by Bajoran scientist Dr. Mora Pol, whom Odo disliked due to Mora's questionable ( but effective ) practice of inducing pain as a motivator in encouraging Odo to assume different shapes before, and even after, Odo was recognized as sentient.

More advanced questions involve the topology of the curve and relations between the curves given by different equations.

Two different hypothetical types of goods with upward-sloping demand curves are Giffen goods ( an inferior but staple good ) and Veblen goods ( goods made more fashionable by a higher price ).

Practical uses of supply and demand analysis often center on the different variables that change equilibrium price and quantity, represented as shifts in the respective curves.

The use of different fuels in nuclear reactors results in different SNF composition, with varying activity curves.

A graph of indifference curves for an individual consumer associated with different utility levels is called an indifference map.

Points yielding different utility levels are each associated with distinct indifference curves and is like a contour line on a topographical map.

There is a curve slightly different from the Archimedean spiral, the involute of a circle, whose turns have constant separation distance in the latter sense of parallel curves.

Since photosynthesis is also limited by ambient carbon dioxide levels, light curves are often repeated at several different constant carbon dioxide concentrations.

Periods lie in the range from 20 to more than 2000 days, while the shapes of the light curves may be rather different and variable with each cycle.

Suppose that X and Y are two plane projective curves defined over a field F that do not have a common component ( this condition is true if both X and Y are defined by different irreducible polynomials, in particular, it holds for a pair of " generic " curves ).

It includes functionality for spot heights, polar coordinates, coordinate joins, transition curves, height interpolation, helmert transformations, as well as full GPS integration using multiple different coordinate systems.

This was found to be unnecessary and curves connect directly to straights ( or curves of a different radius ) on later motorways.

The type Ic hypernovae are thought to be produced by jets from fallback to a black hole, but type IIn hypernovae have significantly different light curves and are not associated with gamma-ray bursts.

The equal-loudness contours on which the phon is based apply only to the perception of pure steady tones: tests using octave or third-octave bands of noise reveal a different set of curves, owing to the way in which the critical bands of our hearing integrate power over varying bandwidths and our brain sums the various critical bands.

Compasses can measure not just azimuth ( i. e. degrees to magnetic north ), but also altitude ( degrees above the horizon ), since the magnetic field curves into the Earth at different angles at different latitudes.

Stress-strain curves of various materials vary widely, and different tensile tests conducted on the same material yield different results, depending upon the temperature of the specimen and the speed of the loading.
