A call to the police had been placed from here a couple of minutes after nine P.M., and the first police car had arrived two or three minutes after that -- 10 minutes ago now.

The first two or three days they went home early.

After he had spent the first three years in New York as associate conductor, at Toscanini's invitation, of the NBC Orchestra, he made numerous guest appearances throughout the United States and Latin America.

If we examine the three types of change from the point of view of their internal structure we find an additional profound difference between the third and the first two, one that accounts for the notable difference between the responses they evoke.

And to do this requires first of all the kind of information about people which is provided by the scientists in industrial anthropology and consumer research, who, for example, tell Courtenay that three days is the `` optimum priming period for a closed social circuit to be triggered with a catalytic cue-phrase '' -- which means that an effective propaganda technique is to send an idea into circulation and then three days later reinforce or undermine it.

When this second dilemma first became obvious -- during the mid to late '50's -- the United States appeared to have three choices.

He himself was once convicted of painting erotica and jailed for 24 days -- the first three of which he spent desperately trying to make paintings on the wall with his own spittle.

Erected on the site of pagan temples and three previous St. Sophias, the first of which was begun by Constantine, this fourth church was started by Justinian in 532 and completed twenty years later.

Salaries compare favorably with those paid to the first two or three levels of management.

You can save all that shimming time if you set your windows in one, two, three order -- first the stud on one side, then the window, then the stud on the other side.

He concluded that in the southern species, which are rapidly growing types, females mate at the age of two and a half and bear the first young when they are three.

We first define a function b{t} as follows: given the set of squares such that each has three corners on C and vertex at t, b{t} is the corresponding set of positive parametric differences between T and the backward corner points.

The second productive period, the decade from 1910 to 1920, can be related to three events: the completion of The Dynasts in 1909, which left Hardy free of pressure for the first time in forty years ; ;

It would be made in three waves -- the first to lay down a smokescreen, the second to drop the gas bombs, the third to shower incendiaries which would burn everything below.

`` After your child's baby teeth are all in -- usually at the age of two and one half to three -- it's time for that first dental appointment '', Dr. Brodie advises.

For the first three weeks, the ship skirted up the east coast of Great Britain, then turned westward.

O'Banion's first conflict with the police came in 1909, at seventeen, when he was committed to Bridewell Prison for three months for burglary ; ;

Your first impression of this elongated square with its three elegant fountains, its two churches that almost face each other, and its russet-colored buildings, is a sense of restful spaciousness -- particularly welcome after wandering around the narrow and dark streets that you have followed since starting this walk.

I used the alias of Robert C. Richards, gave the first three letters and the first and last figure of the license number on the agency heap, but a couple of phony numbers in between.

Over the first five frames, Jack Fisher, the big righthander who figures to be in the middle of Oriole plans for a drive on the 1961 American League pennant, held the A's scoreless while yielding three scattered hits.

In their first three games, the Longhorns have had the ball 41 times and scored 16 times, or 40 per cent ; ;

In August while stopping in Greenock, Scotland, three members of the crew on liberty rendered first aid to a girl who fell from a train.

This year-to-year decline for Dallas County closely follows the national trend -- estimated sales of domestic cars in the U.S. for first three months of 1961 were about 1,212,000 or 80 per cent of the total in the first quarter a year earlier.

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.

Captain Robert April, the Enterprise's first commanding officer, was present at the San Francisco Navy Yards when the vessel's major components were built and prepared for assembly in Starfleet's orbital drydock facilities.
