Non-hereditary causes of cerebellar degeneration include chronic ethanol abuse, paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration, high altitude cerebral oedema, coeliac disease, normal pressure hydrocephalus and cerebellitis.

Phoenix uses its high altitude to gain gravitational potential energy, which is later converted into kinetic energy as the missile dives at high velocity towards its target.

High speed and high altitude flying became a means of evading detection and attack.

When surface to air missiles became capable of hitting high flying aircraft bombers, bombers used flight at low altitude to evade radar detection.

Once " stand off " nuclear weapon designs were developed, bombers did not need to pass over the target at high altitude to make an attack ; they could fire and turn away to escape the blast.

However, the relatively high altitude of the country and its continental situation gives it a subtropical climate.

This new design was licensed by the British, who produced ball point pens for RAF aircrew as the Biro ; they found they worked much better than fountain pens at high altitude, the latter being prone to ink-leakage in the decreased atmospheric pressure.

Modern cruise missiles can travel at supersonic or high subsonic speeds, are self-navigating, and can fly on a non-ballistic, extremely low altitude trajectory.

Ebor is at fairly high altitude, about 1, 300 metres and by Australian standards, has cold winters with overnight frost and occasional light snow falls.

Temperate needleleaf forests mostly occupy the higher latitude regions of the northern hemisphere, as well as high altitude zones and some warm temperate areas, especially on nutrient-poor or otherwise unfavourable soils.

A total of 8 had been launched ; one missile hit a MiG-19 jet fighter sent to intercept the U-2, but which was unable to reach a high enough altitude.

Generalized hypoxia occurs in healthy people when they ascend to high altitude, where it causes altitude sickness leading to potentially fatal complications: high altitude pulmonary edema ( HAPE ) and high altitude cerebral edema ( HACE ).

This is a direct effect of quantum mechanics: specifically, the zero point energy of the system is too high to allow freezing.

Hail forms in strong thunderstorm clouds, particularly those with intense updrafts, high liquid water content, great vertical extent, large water droplets, and where a good portion of the cloud layer is below freezing.

Average temperatures normally range from a summer high of to a winter low of in January, although temperatures of over or below freezing can sometimes be encountered.

On the 5, 000 m high plateau, air temperature hovers around in the winter and reaches near freezing in summer with the median temperature for the year around.

Snow is infrequent in winter except for the higher elevations, but the islands are subject to high winds at times — those from the northeast sometimes bring brief periods of freezing and Arctic-like wind chills.

They are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, desiccation, high temperature, extreme freezing and chemical disinfectants.

Ever since an impromptu procession formed around Jefferson's second inauguration, every United States president except Ronald Reagan has paraded down the Avenue after taking the oath of office ( Reagan paraded up the avenue for his first inauguration, in 1981, but not for the second in 1985 because of freezing temperatures which high winds made dangerous ).

While there are an average of 127 days that drop to or below freezing, and 26 days with high temperatures that fail to rise above freezing, the city only averages 2. 3 days at or below.

Prior to the integration of Newfoundland's public ( government-funded ) school system in the late 1990s, those public schools administered by the Catholic Church mandated strict, uniform-like dress codes ( shirts and ties for boys, dresses or skirts for girls ), though many girls were outraged at this due to the freezing weather, at the elementary and junior high school levels, lifting most restrictions for high school students.

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.

If the muskeg is not completely cleared to bedrock, its high water content will cause buckling and distortion from winter freezing, much like permafrost.

* T. nativa, which has a high resistance to freezing, is found in the Arctic and subarctic regions ; reservoir hosts include polar bears, arctic foxes, walruses and other wild game.

Later research by Robin Bell and Michael Studinger from the Lamont – Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University suggested that the water of the lake is continually freezing and being carried away by the motion of the Antarctic ice sheet, while being replaced by water melting from other parts of the ice sheet in these high pressure conditions.

The average water temperature is calculated to be around ; it remains liquid below the normal freezing point because of high pressure from the weight of the ice above it.

The high temperature reaches or exceeds an average of 41 days a year, and the minimum temperature falls below the freezing point an average of 108 days a year.

The city averages about 60 rainy days per year, 59 days with high temperatures of or higher, and 124 days with low temperatures below freezing.

Firefighting efforts were hampered by not only the primitive fire fighting equipment of the period, but also high winds and freezing temperatures.

Fall starts warm, but November ends with high temperatures barely above freezing.

It should also be noted that while sub − freezing temperatures are very common at high elevation, valley sites in the Rockies during the winter, maximum temperatures that remain sub − freezing are quite rare, while at International Falls and much of the upper ( Northern ) Midwest they are of relatively frequent occurrence.

The final leg of the journey from STL, St. Louis Lambert, to TBN, Fort Leonard Wood, will lack comforts assumed in modern travel such as air conditioning in the summer ( Temperatures in cabin reported as high as 120f during take off, landing and on runway delays with actual travel temperatures comfortable ) and many travelers complain of freezing temperatures in the winter ( during travel with runway operations comfortable ).

Heart conditions and high blood pressure escape the stresses brought on by oppressive heat.

This is why a high compression engine requires fuels specially formulated to not self-ignite ( which would cause engine knocking when operated under these conditions of temperature and pressure ), or that a supercharger and intercooler to provide a lower temperature at the same pressure would be advantageous.

A diesel engine operates under even more extreme conditions, with compression ratios of 20: 1 or more being typical, in order to provide a very high gas temperature which ensures immediate ignition of injected fuel.

The lesser-known stressors generally occur on a smaller scale and so are less noticeable, but they include: poor edaphic conditions like rock content and pH, high radiation, compaction, contamination, and other, highly specific conditions like rapid rehydration during seed germination.

Whilst the magnification of both the field ion and atom probe microscopes is extremely high, the exact magnification is dependant upon conditions specific to the examined specimen, so unlike for conventional electron microscopes, there is often little direct control on magnification, and furthermore, obtained images may have strongly variable magnifications due to fluctuations in the shape of the electric field at the surface.

In plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, reactive oxygen species are also produced during photosynthesis, particularly under conditions of high light intensity.

On the supply side, Brazil's arms exports were designed for developing world markets and were noted for their high quality, easy maintenance, good performance in adverse conditions, and low cost.

The buses to be found in countries around the world often reflect the quality of the local road network, with high floor resilient truck based designs prevalent in several less developed countries where buses are subject to tough operating conditions.

The second article, published in 1938, states that launching a swift strategic knockout has great attractions for Germany but appears to accept that such a knockout will be very difficult to achieve by land attack under modern conditions ( especially in view of the existence of systems of fortification like the Maginot Line ) unless an exceptionally high degree of surprise is achieved.

The parameters of each show must be tailored in accordance with local weather conditions at showtime: in clear weather the high show is performed ; in overcast conditions a low show is performed, and in limited visibility ( weather permitting ) the flat show is presented. The high show requires at least an ceiling and visibility of at least from the show's centerpoint.

Storing a dispersion at high temperatures enables to simulate real life conditions for a product ( e. g. tube of sunscreen cream in a car in the summer ), but also to accelerate destabilisation processes up to 200 times.

Leaf litter and humus are rapidly oxidized and poorly retained in sub-tropical and tropical climate conditions due to high temperatures and extensive leaching by rainfall.

This means that they were at first fragmental rocks like limestone, shale and sandstone and have never been in a molten condition nor entirely in solution, but the high temperature and pressure conditions of metamorphism have acted on them by erasing their original structures and inducing recrystallization in the solid state.

Consequently, Halobacterium thrives only under conditions with high salinity.

Until police determined this was an isolated incident unrelated to the presence of the national guard, military bases statewide were put on high alert and government buildings were briefly placed under lock-down conditions.

As a new type of nuclear reaction, it was proposed to explain reports by experimenters of anomalously high energy generation under certain specific laboratory conditions.

The formation of natural diamond requires very specific conditions — exposure of carbon-bearing materials to high pressure, ranging approximately between 45 and 60 kilobars ( 4. 5 and 6 GPa ), but at a comparatively low temperature range between approximately.
