The footing and stem wall are commonly 24 and 14 inches, much larger than a frame house because of the weight of the walls.

In 1909, Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden, under the direction of physicist Ernest Rutherford, bombarded a sheet of gold foil with alpha rays — by then known to be positively charged helium atoms — and discovered that a small percentage of these particles were deflected through much larger angles than was predicted using Thomson's proposal.

Not only did this mean that Ford enjoyed much larger demand, but the resulting larger demand also allowed further economies of scale to be exploited, further depressing unit price, which tapped yet another portion of the demand curve.

It is not hard to see that the minimal description of a string cannot be too much larger than the string itself-the program GenerateFixedString above that outputs s is a fixed amount larger than s.

Leonhart Rauwolff, in AD 1574, found it " divided ... into two towns ," the one " Turkish ," " so surrounded by the river, that you cannot go into it but by boats ," the other, much larger, on the Arabian side of the river.

For galaxies ( which are of course themselves much larger than 10 parsecs, and whose overall brightness cannot be directly observed from relatively short distances ) the absolute magnitude is defined by reference to the apparent brightness of a point-like or star-like source of the same total luminosity as the galaxy, as it would appear if observed at the standard 10 parsecs distance.

Soon the little shop became much too small and they moved to a much larger factory building nearby ( formerly a window glass factory ), and started mass producing the Aster for a period of a few years, in which time its staff grew twentyfold.

Plate armour became cheaper than mail by the 15th century as it required much less labour and labour had become much more expensive after the Black Death, though it did require larger furnaces to produce larger blooms.

Both ships were soon fighting enemies much more powerful than themselves and began to take severe damage: Captain Henry Darby on Bellerophon missed his intended anchor near Franklin and instead found his ship underneath the main battery of the French flagship, while Captain George Blagdon Westcott on Majestic also missed his station and almost collided with Heureux, coming under heavy fire from Tonnant.

The concussion of the blast alone was sufficient to rip open the seams of the nearest ships, and flaming wreckage landed in a huge circle, much of it flying directly over the surrounding ships into the sea beyond.

Antony's ships were often furnished with grappling irons, which were effective if hurled successfully ; but, if they failed, were apt to damage the ship, or to cause so much delay as to expose the men on board to the darts from the smaller vessel.

Apart from a visit by the French Parmentier brothers in 1529, for much of the 16th century the only Europeans to visit the islands were Portuguese ; British and Dutch ships began arriving at the turn of the century and the island of Ndzwani became a major supply point on the route to the East.

A well-developed coral reef that encircles much of the island ensures protection for ships and a habitat for fish.

The Royal Navy could much more readily replace its losses with ships already under construction, while the engagement ended with the German fleet retreating as fast as possible from the British.

Rather than expensive galleys, wind powered ships that were much faster and had more room for cargo became popular for coastal trade.

Although it was never able to match the number of ships of the Royal Navy, it had technological advantages, such as better shells and propellant for much of the Great War, meaning that it never lost a ship to a catastrophic magazine explosion from an above-water attack, although the elderly pre-dreadnought Pommern sank rapidly at Jutland after a magazine explosion caused by an underwater attack.

The objectives of coastal defence remained largely unchanged, but there was a new emphasis on development of the torpedo, which offered the possibility of relatively small ships successfully attacking much larger ones.

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, he spent much of his time at sea on his personal fleet of ships as " Commodore " of the Sea Organization, an elite inner group of Scientologists.

The stories that constitute the Known Space series were originally conceived as two separate series: the Belter stories, featuring solar-system colonization and slower-than-light travel with fusion-powered and Bussard ramjet ships, and the Neutron Star / Ringworld series of stories, set much further into the future, which feature faster-than-light ships using " hyperdrive ".

In 1615, the shipwreck and death of governor Pieter Both, who was coming back from India with four richly laden ships in the bay, caused the route to be considered as cursed by Dutch sailors, and they tried to avoid it as much as possible.

Comparative evidence shows that all iron and steel ships, especially those in a highly oxygenated environment, continue to degrade and will continue to do so until only their engines and other machinery project much above the sea-floor.

These are much smaller than power reactors or those propelling ships, and many are on university campuses.

This new method of propulsion allowed steam ships to travel at a much greater speed without using sails thereby making ocean travel faster.

By 2008, more than 815, 000 vessels had passed through the canal, many of them much larger than the original planners could have envisioned ; the largest ships that can transit the canal today are called Panamax.

At this time, ships were developing in Asia in much the same way as Europe.

During the Dominion War the class was present in several major conflicts, they operate in large groups and swarm enemy ships, this allows them to overpower much heavier vessels.

St Helena was much less frequently visited by Asia-bound ships, the northern trade winds taking ships towards the South American continent rather than the island.

It concentrates on the 22nd and 23rd centuries, much earlier than the usual Traveller setting, at the time when Earth first started to send out interstellar ships and had just encountered the Vilani Imperium.

Exciting new technologies such as steam ships, railroads, photography, and telegraphs appeared, making the world much faster-paced.

The ships left England in May 1846 and were never heard from again, although since then much has been discovered about the fate of the 129 officers and crew.
