Bassists who stand and bow sometimes set the endpin by aligning the first finger in either first or half position with eye level, although there is little standardization in this regard.

The exact choice of quiescent current, the standing current through both devices when there is no signal, makes a large difference to the level of distortion ( and to the risk of thermal runaway, that may damage the devices ); often the bias voltage applied to set this quiescent current has to be adjusted with the temperature of the output transistors ( for example in the circuit at the beginning of the article the diodes would be mounted physically close to the output transistors, and chosen to have a matched temperature coefficient ).

It has been suggested it was the mortar ( Petrie's " cement ") that made this seemingly impossible task possible, providing a level bed which enabled the masons to set the stones exactly.

The usual method is putting the IP address of the subject host into the sub-domain of a higher level domain name, and resolve that name to different records to indicate a positive or a negative.

To that extent the solid propellant is considered to have reached the end of its tether, although it will remain the principal propulsion method for at least the next decade until newer technologies mature to a level where they can be successfully implemented.

The precise level of glucose considered low enough to define hypoglycemia is dependent on ( 1 ) the measurement method, ( 2 ) the age of the person, ( 3 ) presence or absence of effects, and ( 4 ) the purpose of the definition.

To achieve the best balance of blood sugar with either intensive / flexible method, a patient must check his or her glucose level with a meter monitoring of blood glucose several times a day.

Forms of monarchy differ widely based on the level of legal autonomy the monarch holds in governance, the method of selection of the monarch, and any predetermined limits on the length of their tenure.

While all scholars acknowledge that there is a large mythological part of the narrative some maintain that by using a critical comparative method some level of historicity can be salvaged from the sources, whereas others maintain that continued analysis of the narratives as sources of actual history is futile and hinders access to actual knowledge of the culture of Tula, Hidalgo.

The reason for this is that such languages have at most one implementation of any method at any level in the inheritance chain regardless of the repetition or placement of methods.

Hence, at any given level in the inheritance chain, there can be at most one implementation of any method.

Eberstadt and Banister suggest, however, that authorities at the local level make contraceptive information readily available to parents and that intrauterine devices are the most commonly adopted birth control method.

The method chosen will depend upon the physical nature of the nerve agent ( s ) used, the nature of the target, and the achievable level of sophistication.

SOAP may also be used over HTTPS ( which is the same protocol as HTTP at the application level, but uses an encrypted transport protocol underneath ) with either simple or mutual authentication ; this is the advocated WS-I method to provide web service security as stated in the WS-I Basic Profile 1. 1.

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis ( FMEA ) is a bottom-up, inductive analytical method which may be performed at either the functional or piece-part level.

These societies can be subdivided according to their level of technology and their method of producing food.

The Losing-Trick Count ( LTC ) is an alternative, or supplement, in the card game contract bridge, to the high card point ( HCP ) method of hand evaluation to be used in situations where shape and fit are of more significance than HCP in determining the optimum level of a suit contract-it should only be used after a fit has been found.

This is often seen in terraced rice fields ( rice paddies ), where the method is used to flood or control the level of water in each distinct field.
