We quickly ran into the same trouble that plagued Bill Ruger in his first experiments: Three or four bullets would be placed well in a six-inch bull at 100 yards and then, unaccountably, one could stray far out of the group.

In the United States, where anthropology was first defined as a discipline, the field is traditionally divided into four sub-fields: cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and biological anthropology.

In the left part there were four beads, which in the first row have unitary values ( 1, 2, 3, and 4 ), and in the right side there are three beads with values of 5, 10, and 15 respectively.

The axioms are referred to as " 4 + 1 " because for nearly two millennia the fifth ( parallel ) postulate (" through a point outside a line there is exactly one parallel ") was suspected of being derivable from the first four.

Ultimately, the fifth postulate was found to be independent of the first four.

Remarkably, Alfred, undoubtedly with the advice and aid of his court scholars, translated four works himself: Gregory the Great's Pastoral Care, Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy, St. Augustine's Soliloquies, and the first fifty psalms of the Psalter.

Alfonso spent his first four years in near-constant war with the Muslims.

The desire to contrast the first parts of words which are alike in their last components produces an exceptional disregard of the normal patterns of stress of Chinese and Japanese.

But others view functions as simply sets of ordered pairs with unique first components.

One of the first plastics made from synthetic components, Bakelite was used for its electrical nonconductivity and heat-resistant properties in electrical insulators, radio and telephone casings, and such diverse products as kitchenware, jewelry, pipe stems, and children's toys.

For example, when an ordinary RGB digital image is compressed via the JPEG standard, the RGB colorspace is first converted ( by a rotation matrix ) to a YCbCr colorspace, because the three components in that space have less correlation redundancy and because the chrominance components can then be subsampled by a factor of 2 or 4 to further compress the image.

The first of these two methods is more commonly encountered in practice because many industrial systems have many continuous systems components, including mechanical, fluid, biological and analog electrical components, with a few digital controllers.

The three finds push back the date of the invention of the crank and connecting rod back by a full millennium ; for the first time, all essential components of the much later steam engine were assembled by one technological culture:

Audibility of spectral components is determined by first calculating a masking threshold, below which it is estimated that sounds will be beyond the limits of human perception.

An implication of one boiling point is that lighter components never cleanly " boil first ".

The first proposal that the membranes within cells form a single system that exchanges material between its components was by Morré and Mollenhauer in 1974.

Honeycomb structures began to replace milled structures, and the first composite components began to appear on components subjected to little stress.

The components, some already riveted together into sub-assemblies, were first bolted together, the bolts being replaced by rivets as construction progressed.

He created CP / M the same year to enable the 8080 to control a floppy drive, combining for the first time all the essential components of a computer at the microcomputer scale.

Another advantage of modularity is the ability to spend one's money on only a few core components at first and then later add additional components to one's system.

At first electromechanical components such as relays were employed.

These were all metal and were the first machines for mass production and making components with a degree of interchangeability.

In his patent application of 6 February 1959, Kilby described his new device as “ a body of semiconductor material ... wherein all the components of the electronic circuit are completely integrated .” The first customer for the new invention was the US Air Force.

" Behe specifically explained that the " current definition puts the focus on removing a part from an already functioning system ", but the " difficult task facing Darwinian evolution, however, would not be to remove parts from sophisticated pre-existing systems ; it would be to bring together components to make a new system in the first place ".

* 1969 – Apollo program: Apollo 10 returns to Earth after a successful eight-day test of all the components needed for the forthcoming first manned moon landing.

The company contracted out for all major components such as mainboards and cases and had the finished components shipped to the first floor for assembly.
