They advanced in a line across the entrance hall to the stairway and up, with gingerly steps, towards the first landing.

Field shifts were derived from the mean value of the resonance line, defined as the field about which the first moment is zero.

We observe first that no line, l, can meet its image except at one of its intersections with Q.

To do this we must first show that every line which meets **zg in a point P meets its image at P.

The first possibility requires that there be a line through P which meets **zg in Af points ; ;

In the first case the fixed elements within each pencil are the multiple secant and the line joining the vertex, P, to the intersection of **zg and the plane of the pencil which does not lie on the multiple secant.

This reduces to the relationship: Af, where Af is the intercept at zero thickness of the extrapolation of the slope indicated in eqn. ( 1 ), Af is the thickness of the coating equivalent to the rounding off of the knife tip, Af is a straight line first approximation of this roundness, and the other symbols are equivalent to those of eqn. ( 1 ).

The first line of defence in salamanders and frogs is the mucous secretion that they produce.

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.

The ostensible reason was a report by XI Corps commander Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard that Doubleday's corps broke first, causing the entire Union line to collapse, but Meade also had a long history of disdain for Doubleday's combat effectiveness, dating back to South Mountain.

Henry Ford was the first to master the moving assembly line and was able to improve other aspects of industry by doing so ( such as reducing labor hours required to produce a single vehicle, and increased production numbers and parts ).

Ford was the first company to build large factories around the assembly line concept.

Assuming no loss of time when moving a car from one station to another, the longest stage on the assembly line determines the throughput ( 20 minutes for the engine installation ) so a car can be produced every 20 minutes, once the first car taking 35 minutes has been produced.

Then, taking in on the first cable as the boat is motored into the wind and letting slack while drifting back, a second anchor is set approximately a half-scope away from the first on a line perpendicular to the wind.

Moody and Sankey began publishing their compositions in 1875, and " Amazing Grace " appeared three times with three different melodies, but they were the first to give it its title ; hymns were typically published using the first line of the lyrics, or the name of the tune such as " New Britain ".

The language of the poem is typically direct and concise and comprises short sentences-the first line is in fact a model of condensed meaning, comprising an exhortation (" Let's drink!

Exactly at the head of the gulf the great peak of the Cameroon, on a line of volcanic action continued by the islands to the south-west, has a height of, while Clarence Peak, in Fernando Po, the first of the line of islands, rises to over.

The complexity of executing an algorithm with a human-assisted Turing machine is given by a pair, where the first element represents the complexity of the human's part and the second element is the complexity of the machine's part.
