This is particularly important for light, modern anchors designed to bury in the bottom, where ratios of 5 – 7 to 1 are common, whereas heavy anchors and moorings can use 3 to 1 or less.

Specially-equipped IFVs have taken on some of the roles of light tanks ; they are used by reconnaissance organizations, and light IFVs are used by airborne units which must be able to fight without the heavy firepower of tanks.

Antibodies are typically made of basic structural units — each with two large heavy chains and two small light chains.

Some heavy metro infrastructures were built in Brussels, Antwerp and the Charleroi area, but these are currently used by light rail vehicles, and their conversion to full metro is not envisaged at present due to lack of funds.

Most of the other light aircraft acquired by the FABF in the 1970s and 1980s have also now been retired along with the Mi-4 helicopters, but some recent acquisitions have been made, including a Beechcraft King Air, a Piper PA-34 Seneca, a CEAPR Robin light training aircraft, and a single Air Tractor AT-802 aerial sprayer aircraft for spraying insecticides, purchased after the northern part of the country suffered heavy crop damage from a 2004 invasion of swarming locusts.

Three types of cavalry became common: light cavalry, whose riders, armed with javelins, could harass and skirmish ; heavy cavalry, whose troopers, using lances, had the ability to close with their opponents ; and finally those whose equipment allowed them to fight either on horseback or foot.

In addition to these heavy cavalry, the Macedonian army also employed lighter horsemen called prodromoi for scouting and screening, as well as the Macedonian pike phalanx and various kinds of light infantry.

Ironically, the rise of infantry in the early 16th century coincided with the " golden age " of heavy cavalry ; a French or Spanish army at the beginning of the century could have up to half its numbers made up of various kinds of light and heavy cavalry, whereas in earlier medieval and later 17th century armies the proportion of cavalry was seldom more than a quarter.

Moreover, the Polish cavalry brigade order of battle of 1939 included, apart from the mounted soldiers themselves, light and heavy machine guns ( wheeled ), Anti-tank rifle, model 35, anti-aircraft weapon, artillery like Bofors 37 mm anti tank gun or light and scout tanks, etc.

Anchoring with sufficient scope and / or heavy chain rode brings the direction of strain close to parallel with the seabed.

Lowering a concentrated, heavy weight down the anchor line – rope or chain – directly in front of the bow to the seabed, behaves like a heavy chain rode and lowers the angle of pull on the anchor.

There are several different types of antibody heavy chains, and several different kinds of antibodies, which are grouped into different isotypes based on which heavy chain they possess.

Antibody genes also re-organize in a process called class switching that changes the base of the heavy chain to another, creating a different isotype of the antibody that retains the antigen specific variable region.

Coccolithophorids and molluscs, including ammonites, rudists, freshwater snails and mussels, as well as organisms whose food chain included these shell builders, became extinct or suffered heavy losses.

Coccolithophorids and molluscs ( including ammonites, rudists, freshwater snails and mussels, and those organisms whose food chain included these shell builders ) became extinct or suffered heavy losses.

A sufficiently heavy anchor chain will form a catenary curve.

A heavy anchor chain forms a catenary, with a low angle of pull on the anchor.

To maintain the catenary shape in the presence of wind, a heavy chain is needed, so that only larger ships in deeper water can rely on this effect.

The main scaffold component of clathrin coat is the 190 kD protein called clathrin heavy chain ( CHC ) and the 25 kD protein called clathrin light chain ( CLC ), which form three-legged trimers, called triskelions.

At the same time, the three different types of heavy infantry were replaced by a single, standard type based on the Principes: armed with two heavy javelins called pila ( singular pilum ), the short sword called gladius, chain mail ( lorica hamata ), helmet and rectangular shield ( scutum ).

From that date on, he wore a heavy iron chain cilice around his waist, next to the skin, each Lent as penance, adding every year extra ounces.

* martingale, a heavy stay directly below the bowsprit, often the strongest on a ship, frequently made of chain.

It is attached to a lectern in the shape of an unpleasant winged creature by a very heavy chain fastened by eight padlocks ( one for each Head of each Order of Magic ).

Local businesses and numerous large chain stores are located along Route 125, which has become known for problems with heavy traffic during weekday commuting and weekend shopping hours.

Chain harrowing may be used on pasture land to spread out dung, and to break up dead material ( thatch ) in the sward, and similarly in sports-ground maintenance a light chain harrowing is often used to level off the ground after heavy use, to remove and smooth out boot marks and indentations.

The light chains remain intact and attached to the heavy chain.

Papain cleaves IgG above the hinge region containing the disulfide bonds that join the heavy chains, but below the site of the disulfide bond between the light chain and heavy chain.

Owing to this highly variable heating, however, a heavy atmospheric or ionospheric outflow of plasma flows during disturbed periods from the auroral zones into the magnetosphere, extending the region dominated by terrestrial material, known as the fourth or plasma geosphere, at times out to the magnetopause.

The Verdun forts were variable in quality and size, and thus provided unequal potential to resist heavy artillery shelling.

Madison, along with the rest of the state, has a humid continental climate ( Köppen: Dfb / Dfa ), characterized by variable weather patterns and a large seasonal temperature variance: winter temperatures can be well below freezing, with moderate to occasionally heavy snowfall ; high temperatures in summer average in the lower 80s ° F ( 27 – 28 ° C ), reaching on an average 12 days per year, often accompanied by high humidity levels.

The variable portions of an immunoglobulin heavy and light chain are fused by a flexible linker to form a scFv.

A single-chain variable fragment ( scFv ) is a fusion protein of the variable regions of the heavy ( V < sub > H </ sub >) and light chains ( V < sub > L </ sub >) of immunoglobulins, connected with a short linker peptide of ten to about 25 amino acids.

The downside is however, variable rate fares need heavy investment in ticketing technologies and are far more complicated to implement for the transit operator and to decipher the fare for the transit rider.

To counteract these tendencies it was necessary to build a very heavy press, frequently with an expensive variable speed drive.

With a molecular weight of only 12 – 15 kDa, single-domain antibodies are much smaller than common antibodies ( 150 – 160 kDa ) which are composed of two heavy protein chains and two light chains, and even smaller than Fab fragments (~ 50 kDa, one light chain and half a heavy chain ) and single-chain variable fragments (~ 25 kDa, two variable domains, one from a light and one from a heavy chain ).

Although most research into single-domain antibodies is currently based on heavy chain variable domains, nanobodies derived from light chains have also been shown to bind specifically to target epitopes.
