But during nighttime hours the skywave radiations are reflected from the ionosphere, thereby creating the possibility of one station's rendering service, via skywave, at a much greater distance than it can through its groundwave signal, and at the same time vastly complicating the interference problem because of the still greater distance over which these skywave signals may cause interference to the signals of stations on the same and closely adjacent frequencies.

My unscientific friend does not believe that human stature is measurable in terms of speed, momentum, weightlessness, or distance from earth, but is a matter of the development of the human mind.

Changes of intensity on the cell were achieved by use of a wire screen and by varying the distance of the light source from the cell.

In series 1, the relative light intensity was varied by varying the distance of the lamp from the reaction cell over the range from 14.7 to 29.2 cm..

The last column shows the rate of exchange that would have been observed at a relative intensity of 4 ( 14.7 cm. distance ) calculated on the assumptions that the incident light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the lamp from the cell and that the rate is directly proportional to the incident light intensity.

At one astronomical unit from the sun ( the Earth's distance ) the dust orbits are probably nearly circular.

Pioneer 1, recorded a decrease in flux with distance from the Earth on the basis of 11 counts in 9 hours.

The maximum distance sampled was 23 miles from the source.

These must have been for local calls strictly, as in May 1900 the `` only long distance telephone '' in town was transferred from C. B. Carleton's to Young's shoe store.

Just as the suburban factory may be more convenient than the downtown plant to the worker with a car, the trip to the shopping center may seem far easier than to the downtown department store, though both are the same distance from home.

This theme comes to represent the outer world, the realm of battles and banquets -- seen from a distance, quite distinct from the quieter spiritual life in the monastery.

We replace r, the number of the stage from the end of the process, by t, a continuous variable which measures the `` distance '' of the point considered from the end of the process.

* Chord ( aircraft ), the distance between the front and back of a wing, measured in the direction of the normal airflow.

It has been suggested that this is at least partially due to Berlin's proximity to the front, and that for an opposite effect, New York's geographic distance from the war spawned its more theoretically-driven, less political nature.

By around 1774, he had concluded that the same effects could be created by passing the hands, at a distance, in front of the subject's body, referred to as making " Mesmeric passes.

It has been suggested that long-shot ranges usually correspond to approximately what would be the distance between the front row of the audience and the stage in live theatre.

At close range such large weapons were of little use, but an intact phalanx could easily keep its enemies at a distance ; the weapons of the first five rows of men all projected beyond the front of the formation, so that there were more spearpoints than available targets at any given time.

On 27 July 1981, he was shot 5 times from a distance of around two meters in a Warsaw Victoria ( now Sofitel ) hotel coffee shop, but survived the attack, chasing his would-be assassin down to the coffee shop's front entrance before collapsing ;

At the same time, the initial wave front propagates away from the source through the space to the distance x to fit the same amount of oscillations, kx = ωt.

It was derived from a previous, unsuccessful Curtiss-Wright design, which failed because of a well-known problem with all internal combustion engines: the fixed speed at which the flame front travels limits the distance combustion can travel from the point of ignition in a given time, and thereby limiting the maximum size of the cylinder or rotor chamber which can be used.

Some modern anti-tank rockets ( RPG-27, RPG-29 ) and missiles ( TOW 2B, ERYX, HOT, MILAN ) use a tandem warhead shaped charge, consisting of two separate shaped charges, one in front of the other, typically with some distance between them.
