Convex angles have somewhat convex sides and open to the lateral ( outer ) area of the tusk.

The term lateral thinking was coined by Edward De Bono to denote a creative problem-solving style that involves looking at the given situation from unexpected angles, and is typically necessary to the solution of situation puzzles.

The superior borders extend from the superior to the lateral angles: they are deeply serrated for articulation with the occipital borders of the parietals, and form by this union the lambdoidal suture.

The inferior borders extend from the lateral angles to the inferior angle ; the upper half of each articulates with the mastoid portion of the corresponding temporal, the lower half with the petrous part of the same bone.

As you load a steel-sprung car, its bump absorption capability becomes totally asymmetrical ( too small a compression margin and too much of an extension course available, and the suspension moves far from its ideal operating angles, reducing lateral / longitudinal grip, etc.

The failure of ground in this manner is called ' lateral spreading ', and may occur on very shallow slopes of angles of only 1 or 2 degrees from the horizontal.

They are approximately orthogonal ( right angles ) to each other, and are called the horizontal ( or lateral ), the anterior semicircular canal ( or superior ) and the posterior ( or inferior ) semicircular canal.

A principal means of adjusting developed slip angles is to alter the relative roll couple ( the rate at which weight transfers from the inside to the outside wheel in a turn ) front to rear by varying the relative amount of front and rear lateral load transfer.

The third and most elegant mechanism to resist the lateral thrust was to create an intersection of two barrel vaults at right angles, thus forming a groin vault.

Like all scanning techniques, the embedding of spatial information into a time sequence opens the door to uncertainties in metrology, say of lateral spacings and angles, which arise due to time-domain effects like specimen drift, feedback loop oscillation, and mechanical vibration.

* Appendiculopsis-slightly elongated, short creeping rhizomes ; distichous, crowded, oblong leaves, at right angles with axis of stem, abruptly truncated at base, with a small petiole ; terminal or lateral inflorescence ; used to belong to the genus Appendicula.

In Scottish hatchments it is not unusual to place the arms of the father and mother of the deceased in the two lateral angles of the lozenge, and sometimes there are 4, 8 or 16 genealogical escutcheons ranged along the margin.

More specifically, the medial and lateral canthi would be described as the medial and lateral ends / angles of the palpebral fissure.

The three sepals are generally colourful and bright ( which is why they are sometimes called outer tepals ), with one on each side (" lateral sepals ") and one usually at the top of the flower (" dorsal sepal "), sometimes forming a hood.

By opening the stop wider, similar deviations arise for lateral points as have been already discussed for axial points ; but in this case they are much more complicated.

While all prokaryotes reproduce asexually ( without the formation and fusion of gametes ), mechanisms for lateral gene transfer such as conjugation, transformation and transduction are sometimes likened to sexual reproduction.

These fish can still, however, find their way around by means of their lateral lines, which are highly sensitive to fluctuating water pressure.

When reconstructing the data, owing to the evaporation of successive layers of material from the sample, the lateral and in-depth reconstruction values are highly anisotropic.

High levels of lateral support are useful for activities where lateral motion is undesirable and unexpected.

A highly built-up lateral support will not be able to protect the foot in badminton ; instead, it will encourage catastrophic collapse at the point where the shoe's support fails, and the player's ankles are not ready for the sudden loading, which can cause sprains.

The IPA symbols are used in writing most Khoisan languages, but Bantu languages such as Zulu typically use Latin c, x and q for dental, lateral, and alveolar clicks respectively.

* Next most familiar to English speakers are the lateral clicks written with a double pipe,.

Clicks appear more stop-like ( sharp / abrupt ) or affricate-like ( noisy ) depending on their place of articulation: In southern Africa, clicks involving an apical alveolar or laminal postalveolar closure are acoustically abrupt and sharp, like stops, while labial, dental, and lateral clicks typically have longer and acoustically noisier releases that are superficially more like affricates.

The five click releases with dedicated symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet ( IPA ) are labial, dental, palato-alveolar or " palatal ", ( post ) alveolar or " retroflex ", and alveolar lateral.

The labial, dental, and lateral releases, on the other hand, are typically " noisy ": they are longer, lip-or tooth-sucking sounds with turbulent airflow, and are sometimes called affricates.

The lateral clicks are pronounced by sucking on the molars of one or both sides.

The C-isotope chemostratigraphic characteristics obtained for contemporaneous cap carbonates in different parts of the world may be variable in a wide range owing to different degrees of secondary alteration of carbonates, dissimilar criteria used for selection of the least altered samples, and, as far as the C-isotope data are concerned, due to primary lateral variations of δ < sup > l3 </ sup > C < sub > carb </ sub > in the upper layer of the ocean.

Neurons in the lateral entorhinal cortex exhibit little spatial selectivity, whereas neurons of the medial entorhinal cortex ( MEA ), exhibit multiple " place fields " that are arranged in an hexagonal pattern, and are, therefore, called " grid cells ".

The cars are capable of lateral acceleration in excess of 5 g in corners.

Efficient foil-type kites such as power kites can also be used to sail upwind under the same principles as used by other sailing craft, provided that lateral forces on the ground or in the water are redirected as with the keels, center boards, wheels and ice blades of traditional sailing craft.

Both heads are inserted into the lateral sesamoid bone of the first digit.

Tie-backs are steel tendons drilled into the face of the wall which extend beyond the soil which is applying pressure to the wall, to provide additional lateral resistance to the wall.

It is situated at an altitude of 482 meters above sea level by the river Amper, with a boundary demarcated by lateral moraines formed during the last ice age and the Amper glacial valley.

It is situated at the upper and lateral part of the face and forms the prominence of the cheek, part of the lateral wall and floor of the orbit, and parts of the temporal and infratemporal fossa.

The temporal bones are situated at the sides and base of the skull, and lateral to the temporal lobes of the cerebrum.

It is situated between the hand and forearm on the thumb-side of the wrist ( also called the lateral or radial side ).

In standard medical posture, the lunate carpal bone is situated between the lateral Scaphoid bone and medial Triquetral bone.

It then ascends upon the forehead, and ends in two branches, a medial and a lateral, which supply the integument of the scalp, reaching nearly as far back as the lambdoidal suture ; they are at first situated beneath the Frontalis:

The body is large and situated centrally between the lateral wings.

The coccygeus, situated behind the levator ani and frequently tendinous as much as muscular, extends from the ischial spine to the lateral margin of the sacrum and coccyx.

The nucleus ruber ( red nucleus ) is situated lateral and oculomotor fibers are situated ventromedial to the VTA.

It is situated on the lateral side of the tibia ; it is thick and fleshy above, tendinous below.

It is situated in the lateral angle between the cerebellum and the pons.

Briare, the Brivodorum of the Romans, is situated at the extremity of the Briare Canal, which unites the Loire and its lateral canal with the Loing and so with the Seine.
