The older large SMES concepts usually featured a low aspect ratio solenoid approximately 100 m in diameter buried in earth.

The inferior zone of the river, as far up as the first fall, the Porteira, has but little broken water and is low and swampy ; but above the long series of cataracts and rapids the character and aspect of the valley completely change, and the climate is much better.

test predictions that a low aspect ratio yields improved stability to tearing modes, including

In general, planes with higher aspect ratios — long, skinny wings — will have less induced drag, which dominates at low airspeeds.

Despite its relatively high precipitation due to favourable aspect, Superior is too low for significant snow even in winter.

Despite the relative low number of Polynesian languages, and the relative abundance of data already available on many of them, the comparative method was often reduced to comparisons of vocabulary, its shared sporadic sound changes and, as Wilson did in 1985, comparison of pronominal systems which is perhaps the second most commonly described aspect of " minor " languages often available for comparison after the lexicostatistical lists.

The program usually includes both a symposium on a topical subject and a session of free communications on any aspect of low temperature biology.

Articles concern any aspect of low temperature biology and medicine ( e. g. freezing, freeze-drying, hibernation, cold tolerance and adaptation, cryoprotective compounds, medical applications of reduced temperature, cryosurgery, hypothermia, and perfusion of organs ).

A high aspect ratio indicates long, narrow wings, whereas a low aspect ratio indicates short, stubby wings.

Very low aspect ratio wing ( AR = 1. 8 ) of the Concorde

Another tale is associated with the temple dedicated to Kauri-bai — an aspect of Matangi — who appeared in low caste area of Varanasi.

Diversity of HLAs in the human population is one aspect of disease defense, and, as a result, the chance of two unrelated individuals with identical HLA molecules on all loci is very low.

Similarly, a high aspect ratio wing will produce less induced drag than a wing of low aspect ratio because the size of the wing vortices will be much reduced on a longer, thinner wing.

Fruit is easy to cultivate in the area because of a southerly aspect and low rainfall.

Due to federal structure of operational administration in German healthcare, the standardization aspect is much behind the possibilities of the public economy and due to competitive interests in industry of low normative impact to healthcare information systems development.

The general aspect of the relief is that of a low plateau with a limestone structure, covered with thick deposits of loess.

Gravity currents are typically of very low aspect ratio ( that is, height over typical horizontal lengthscale ).

Their meaning remains the most controversial aspect of rime table phonology, but is believed to indicate palatalization ( transcribed as the presence or absence of-j-or-i -), retroflex features, vowel quality ( high vs. low or front vs. back ) or some combination of these.

The low aspect of the Island resulted in many ship-wrecks off the Island in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Another notable aspect of Star sailing is the extreme hiking position adopted by the crew and at times the helmsman, who normally use a harness to help hang low off the windward side of the boat with only their lower legs inside.

As with the earlier Vought V-173, the Flapjack's contra-rotating propellers were located at the ends of the wings to help counteract the drag-inducing vortices that would normally result from a wing of such a low aspect ratio.

Except against simple or low frequency radar systems, the implementation of active cancellation techniques is extremely difficult due to the complex processing requirements and the difficulty of predicting the exact nature of the reflected radar signal over a broad aspect of an aircraft, missile or other target.

The Night Riviera included the UK's last Motorail service, until that aspect of the service was withdrawn at the end of the 2005 summer season due to low usage.

They offer a fairly low holding-power-to-weight ratio and generally have to be oversized to compete with other types.

The fox has a low surface area to volume ratio, as evidenced by its generally rounded body shape, short muzzle and legs, and short, thick ears.

Being homeothermic ( warm-blooded ) marine mammals, pinnipeds need a low surface area to body mass ratio.

* High contrast ratio ( over 15, 000: 1 ), excellent color, fairly wide color range ( gamut ) and low black level.

Conversely, a column with a low reflux ratio must have a large number of stages, thus requiring a taller column.

Conversely, factors that favor plate columns are: presence of solids in feed, high liquid rates, large column diameters, complex columns, columns with wide feed composition variation, columns with a chemical reaction, absorption columns, columns limited by foundation weight tolerance, low liquid rate, large turn-down ratio and those processes subject to process surges.

Low surface brightness dwarf galaxies are important sources of information for studying dark matter, as they have an uncommonly low ratio of visible matter to dark matter, and have few bright stars at the center which would otherwise impair observations of the rotation curve of outlying stars.

Macedonia today maintains a low debt-to-GDP ratio and is experiencing a revitalized investment interest by companies from Germany, France, Austria, and others.

Engine tuning emphasized high torque at low engine speeds so the extra ratio wasn't too sorely missed.

Everything else being equal, a high mass ratio is desirable for good performance, since it indicates that the rocket is lightweight and hence performs better, for essentially the same reasons that low weight is desirable in sports cars.

In 2012, public debt increased to 62 % of GDP, however, the average public debt to GDP ratio remains low compared to other European countries.

Additionally, coating may increase signal / noise ratio for samples of low atomic number ( Z ).

The College of Fine Arts was predominantly female, and a low ratio of women enrolled as students in the College of Medicine and the College of Law.

Open-core transformers with a ratio near 1: 1 were connected with their primaries in series to allow use of a high voltage for transmission while presenting a low voltage to the lamps.

The exhaust is, however, relatively low in NOx emissions, as combustion temperatures are lower than in other engines, and also because of some inherent Exhaust Gas Recirculation-EGR-in early engines ; the higher the combustion temperature is, the higher the NOx emissions are ( sir Harry Ricardo proved in the 20's that for every 1 % increase of the proportion of exhaust gas in the admission mix, there's a 45º F reduction in flame temperature ); this allowed Mazda to meet the United States Clean Air Act of 1970 in 1973 with a simple and inexpensive ' thermal reactor ' ( an enlarged open chamber in the exhaust manifold ) by paradoxically enriching the air-fuel ratio to the point where the unburned hydrocarbons ( HC ) in the exhaust would support complete combustion in the thermal reactor ; while piston-engine cars required expensive catalytic converters to deal with both unburned hydrocarbons and NOx emissions.

In addition, miniature engines suffer from an adverse surface to volume ratio ; the relatively large surface area transfers away what little heat is generated in the small combustion volume resulting in quenching and low efficiency.

In comparison the British airship, R101, introduced diesel engines with the Beardmore Tornado to avoid using highly flammable petrol in hot climates ; although these had a low power to weight ratio, limiting the payload of the weight conscious airships, as well as proving unreliable due to lack of development.

It had a comparatively low compression ratio, so that the temperature of the air compressed in the combustion chamber at the end of the compression stroke was not high enough to initiate combustion.

5-ARD is biochemically characterized by low to low-normal levels of testosterone and decreased levels of DHT, creating a higher testosterone / DHT ratio.

To control for errors in the reception of the grayscale image data send by Mariner 9 ( caused by low signal-to-noise ratio ), the data had to be encoded before transmission using a so called error-correcting code ( ECC ).

Although the specific impulse of an electric thruster itself optionally could range up to where mass drivers merge into particle accelerators with fractional-lightspeed exhaust velocity for tiny particles, trying to use extreme exhaust velocity to accelerate a far slower spacecraft could be suboptimally low thrust when the energy available from a spacecraft's reactor or power source is limited ( a lesser analogue of feeding onboard power to a row of spotlights, photons being an example of an extremely low momentum to energy ratio ).

This leads to a strong selection for a low cost-benefit ratio, which can barely be achieved with a herbivorous diet.
