Continental fragments correspond to land masses that have separated from a continental mass due to tectonic displacement.

:" Birka is the main Geatish town ( oppidum Gothorum ), situated in the middle of Sweden ( Suevoniae ), not far ( non longe ) from the temple called Uppsala ( Ubsola ) which the Swedes ( Sueones ) held in the highest esteem when it comes to the worship of the gods ; here forms an inlet of the Baltic or the Barbaric Sea a port facing north which welcomes all the wild peoples all around this sea but which is risky for those who are careless or ignorant of such places ... they have therefore blocked this inlet of the troubled sea with hidden masses of rocks along more than 100 stadions ( 18 km ).

In this way, astronomers have identified numerous stellar black hole candidates in binary systems, and established that the core of our Milky Way galaxy contains a supermassive black hole of about 4. 3 million solar masses.

Since the observation of the Champagne Supernova in 2003, more very bright type Ia supernovae are thought to have originated by white dwarfs whose masses exceeded the Chandrasekhar limit.

The super-Chandrasekhar mass white dwarfs that have originated these supernovae are believed to have had masses up to 2. 4-2. 8 solar masses.

It is widely believed that giant planets form through core accretion, and that process may sometimes produce planets with masses above the deuterium fusion threshold ; massive planets of that sort may have already been observed.

This viewpoint also admits the possibility of sub-brown dwarfs, which have planetary masses but form like stars from the direct collapse of clouds of gas.

In the words of Nobel Prize winner Robert E. Lucas, Jr., " For the first time in history, the living standards of the masses of ordinary people have begun to undergo sustained growth ...

Clusters have two important properties: their masses are large enough to retain any energetic gas ejected from member galaxies and the thermal energy of the gas within the cluster is observable within the X-Ray bandpass.

Not all his scientific romances ended in a happy Utopia, and in fact, Wells also wrote a dystopian novel, When the Sleeper Wakes ( 1899, rewritten as The Sleeper Awakes, 1910 ), which pictures a future society where the classes have become more and more separated, leading to a revolt of the masses against the rulers.

For example, the metals cobalt and nickel had been assigned the atomic numbers 27 and 28, respectively, based on their known chemical and physical properties, even though they have nearly the same atomic masses.

In the words of Nobel Prize winner Robert E. Lucas, Jr., " For the first time in history, the living standards of the masses of ordinary people have begun to undergo sustained growth ...

Because the ions have masses comparable to those of the target atoms, they knock the target atoms out of place more than electron beams do.

But the real importance, to my mind, lay in the effect they had on our own people, and especially the village masses .... Non-cooperation dragged them out of the mire and gave them self-respect and self-reliance .... They acted courageously and did not submit so easily to unjust oppression ; their outlook widened and they began to think a little in terms of India as a whole .... It was a remarkable transformation and the Congress, under Gandhi's leadership, must have the credit for it.

Studies show that lesbians have a higher body mass and are generally less concerned about weight issues than heterosexual women, and lesbians consider women with higher body masses to be more attractive than heterosexual women do.

Some words have even leaked into common, everyday use by the masses ; an example is the word louf or loufoque, meaning unsound of mind.

" For these socialists, “ The intuition of the masses in action can have more genius in it than the work of the greatest individual genius ”.

Hence, if they have similar masses then their weights will also be similar.

Zeolites often have distinctive crystal habits, occurring in needles, plates, or blocky masses.

If two particles have masses and, and velocities and, the total momentum is

The sweep of space, the delicate counterbalance of the white masses, the over-all completeness and unity, the originality and imagination, all entitle it to be called an authentic masterpiece.

As long as his material is Americana, can in some way be ascribed to the masses and appears `` democratic '' to his audience, he remains satisfied.

Just when it seems baseball might be losing its grip on the masses up pops heroics to start millions of tongues to wagging.

There will be masses of flowers, reproductions of the handsome old buildings with their grillwork and other things that are typical of New Orleans.

The eggs may be deposited singly or in small groups, or may take the form of spherical egg masses, rafts or long strings.

The mass of the star is calculated to be 15 to 18 solar masses.

A recent study suggests Alioth's 5. 1-day variation may be due to a substellar object of about 14. 7 Jupiter masses in an eccentric orbit ( e = 0. 5 ) with an average separation of 0. 055 astronomical units.

Lavoisier also worked to translate the archaic and technical language of chemistry into something that could be easily understood by the largely uneducated masses, leading to an increased public interest in chemistry.

* Second, masses floating freely in a fluid substratum, like icebergs in the ocean, should be in isostatic equilibrium ( where the forces of gravity and buoyancy are in balance ).

Traits may be physical, such as roads or land masses, or may be abstract, such as toponyms or political boundaries.

The PDFLP's original political orientation was based on the view that Palestinian national goals could be achieved only through revolution of the masses and " people's war ".

Whereas Sergei Eisenstein viewed his montage of attractions as a propaganda tool through which the film-viewing masses could be subjected to “ emotional and psychological influence ” and therefore able to perceive “ the ideological aspect ” of the films they were being shown, Vertov believed the Kino-Eye would influence the actual evolution of man, “ from a bumbling citizen through the poetry of the machine to the perfect electric man .”

The Gaia mission, to be launched in March 2013, will use astrometry to determine the true masses of 1000 nearby exoplanets.

Alternatively entropy can be defined from a classical thermodynamics viewpoint, in which the molecular interactions are not considered and instead the system is viewed from perspective of the gross motion of very large masses of molecules and the behavior of individual molecules is averaged and obscured.

From the outset, this new republic held that film would be the most ideal propaganda tool for the Soviet Union because of its widespread popularity among the established citizenry of the new land ; Vladimir Lenin, in fact, declared it the most important medium for educating the masses in the ways, means and successes of Communism, a position which was later echoed by Joseph Stalin.

To get rid of the books from the past ( and their copies ), the government implemented a program using the firemen to burn the books ( now that houses were being rebuilt to be fire-resistant ) and placate the masses.

The feast day masses on the third of December will be held at 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 10. 30 AM, 12 noon, 3 PM ( Spanish ), 4 PM, 5 PM and 6 PM.

The new particles predicted by models of grand unification cannot be observed directly at particle colliders because their masses are expected to be of the order of the so-called GUT scale, which is predicted to be just a few orders of magnitude below the Planck scale and thus far beyond the reach of currently foreseen collision experiments.

Since Majorana masses of the right-handed neutrino are forbidden by SO ( 10 ) symmetry, SO ( 10 ) GUTs predict the Majorana masses of right-handed neutrinos to be close to the GUT scale where the symmetry is spontaneously broken in those models.

In supersymmetric GUTs, this scale tends to be larger than would be desirable to obtain realistic masses of the light, mostly left-handed neutrinos ( see neutrino oscillation ) via the seesaw mechanism.
