Rather, such assignments are made, as they must be, on the basis of certain overall rules and standards, representing to some extent a statistical approach to the problem, taking into account for each situation some of the variables ( e.g., power and station separations ) and averaging out others in order to achieve the balance which must be struck between protection against destructive interference and the assignment of a number of stations large enough to afford optimum radio service to the Nation.

During nighttime hours, because of the intense skywave propagation then prevailing, no large number of stations can be permitted to operate on one of these channels, if the wide area service for which these frequencies are assigned is to be rendered satisfactorily by the dominant stations which must be relied upon to render it.

Additional class 2, assignments for daytime operation can be made without causing destructive interference to the class 1, stations or to each other, and by their operation provide additional service on these channels and additional local outlets for a large number of communities.

Such additional daytime class 2, assignments are appropriate if optimum use is to be made of these frequencies, and the Commission has over the years made a large number of them.

Each male willow catkin is composed of a large number of small flowers.

It lacks pollen baskets and possesses only a large number of long, branched hairs on its legs, on which the pollen grains will collect.

There were two methods that could have been used for conducting the study within the resources available: ( 1 ) interviews in depth with a few selected companies, and ( 2 ) the more limited interrogation of a large number of companies by means of a mail questionnaire.

As a result, it was decided that a mail questionnaire sent to a large number of companies would be more effective in determining the general practices and opinions of small firms and in highlighting some of the fundamental and recurring problems of defense procurement that concern both industry and government.

If we thus spent our very first day in the midst of a large number of your people honoring a new hero and a great national achievement, our last day, to us at least, was equally impressive and very moving, even though the crowds were absent and there was almost complete silence.

Although a large number of coatings systems, particularly at low thicknesses fail cohesively by the cutting mechanism, frequently a second type of cohesive failure may also take place.

The Royal Navy began experiments with the " torpedo boat catcher ", a class of 17 large torpedo boats.

Both wave and particle characteristics have been confirmed in a large number of experiments.

In addition, they perform analog and numerical experiments of rock deformation in large and small settings.

Jahangir maintained a huge aviary and a large zoo, kept a record of every specimen and organised experiments.

During the 1920s, the experiments pioneered by Michelson were repeated by Dayton Miller, who publicly proclaimed positive results on several occasions, although not large enough to be consistent with any known aether theory.

From his experiments, he concluded that the Earth was itself magnetic and that this was the reason compasses pointed north ( previously, some believed that it was the pole star ( Polaris ) or a large magnetic island on the north pole that attracted the compass ).

In other words, IRTF and independent RFCs are supposed to contain relevant info or experiments for the Internet at large not in conflict with IETF work, compare RFC 4846, RFC 5742, and RFC 5744.

Sea urchins such as Arbacia punctulata — are ideal organisms to use in sperm research, they spawn large numbers of sperm into the sea, making them well-suited as model organisms for experiments.

However, successful experiments involving similar principles, e. g. superpositions of relatively large ( by the standards of quantum physics ) objects have been performed.

Large particle physics experiments require large collaborations.

Watt consulted with Black in order to conduct experiments on his steam engine, but it was Watt who conceived the idea of the external condenser which resulted in a large increase in steam engine efficiency.

Most particle physicists state that the outcome of the ongoing experiments – the search for new particles at the large particle accelerators and for dark matter – are needed in order to provide theoretical physicists with further input for a ToE.

While most WIMP models indicate that a large enough number of WIMPs would be captured in large celestial bodies for these experiments to succeed, it remains possible that these models are either incorrect or only explain part of the dark matter phenomenon.

To circumvent the latter issue, experiments has shown that fullerenes could be a good candidate for use instead of sulfur because of the large conjugated π-system that can electrically contact many more atoms at once than a single atom of sulfur.

New types of Design of experiments methods have also been developed to efficiently address the large experimental spaces that can be tackled using combinatorial methods.

The site was already home to several University of California Radiation Laboratory projects that were too large for its location in the hills above the Berkeley campus, including one of the first experiments in the magnetic approach to confined thermonuclear reactions ( i. e. fusion ).

Typical parameters would be 300-400 mV for < 1 ms across the membrane ( note-the voltages used in cell experiments are typically much larger because they are being applied across large distances to the bulk solution so the resulting field across the actual membrane is only a small fraction of the applied bias ).

It was too difficult to analyze the effect in early experiments because of the complex environment of a large number of short-lived bubbles.

Place responses in rats and mice have been studied in hundreds of experiments over four decades, yielding a large quantity of information.

First experiments were held in 1937 on an Heinkel He 111, piloted by test-pilot Erich Warsitz at Neuhardenberg, a large field about 70 kilometres east of Berlin, listed as a reserve airfield in the event of war.

Successful experiments involving superpositions of relatively large ( by the standards of quantum physics ) objects have been performed.
