But the only answer that reached him was the screeching of the porch rail from her leg moving against it.

The only operational rail link into Armenia is from Georgia.

However, the rail link between Abkhazia and Georgia proper has been closed for a number of years, forcing Armenia to receive rail cars laden with cargo only through the relatively expensive rail-ferry services operating between Georgian and other Black Sea ports.

Notably, Barcelonnette is the only subprefecture of France not be served by rail transport ; the Ubaye line which would have linked Chorges to Barcelonnette was never completed as a result of the First World War and the construction of the Serre-Ponçon Dam between 1955 and 1961.

Portability was managed only by rail and with the use of thirty boxcars.

This locomotive could haul 30 tons of coal up a hill at, and was the first successful flanged-wheel adhesion locomotive: its traction depended only on the contact between its flanged wheels and the rail.

The false inner case begins to the right of the keyboard, and continues backward only far enough to provide a slot to support the jack rail.

The first option is the most common, with the foot stretcher and flywheel both fixed, with only the seat sliding on a rail.

When Zahir Shah took power in 1933 Kabul had the only 6 miles of rail in the country, few internal telegraph or phone lines and few roads.

The Korean State Railway is the only rail operator in North Korea.

Wellington was for a long time the only city of New Zealand that retained a well-patronised commuter rail system.

Although a few manufacturers make rolling stock that can adjust to different rail gauges, most manufacturers make rolling stock that only works with one of the standard rail gauges.

The only high speed rail line ( though by most definitions, real high speed rail only includes speeds over 200 km / h ) in central-eastern Europe is the Centralna Magistrala Kolejowa ( CMK ), the Central Railway Route.

The line only operated for a few months, closing after Beach was unsuccessful in getting permission to extend it – Boss Tweed, an immensely powerful local politician, did not want it to go ahead as he was intending to personally invest into competing schemes for an elevated rail line.

Bucharest is known to be the only city in Romania which as of 2009 has an underground railway system, comprising both the Bucharest Metro and the light rail system Regia Autonomă de Transport Bucureşti.

In particular, the country is a leader in the field of high-speed rail, having developped the secong longest network in the world ( only behind China ) and leading high-speed projects with Spanish technology around the world.

This potential role reflected defense planner expectations that the rail guns of the future would be capable of not only rapid fire, but also of multiple firings ( on the order of tens to hundreds of shots ).

The only reliable surface connection from the east of the country towards Lake Tanganyika-is by rail, during rainy season.

The endemic Inaccessible Island rail, the smallest extant flightless bird in the world, is only found on Inaccessible Island.

If the carrier is only partially suppressed, a double-sideband reduced-carrier ( DSBRC ) signal results.

In 2006 Coastel was the only carrier in the US whose entire customer base was still 100 % analog based.

The function of the nucleus as carrier of genetic information became clear only later, after mitosis was discovered and the Mendelian rules were rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century ; the chromosome theory of heredity was therefore developed.

First, the only player on the field who may be legally tackled is the player currently in possession of the football ( the ball carrier ).

The diode ( originally a crystal diode ) rectifies the AM radio frequency signal, leaving only the positive peaks of the carrier wave.

For example, narrowband FM is used for two way radio systems such as Family Radio Service, in which the carrier is allowed to deviate only 2. 5 kHz above and below the center frequency with speech signals of no more than 3. 5 kHz bandwidth.

For a simple metal where there is only one type of charge carrier ( electrons ) the Hall voltage V < sub > H </ sub > is given by

In the latter case, the disease may only be defined as a " disease " ( which by definition means an illness ) in hosts who secondarily become ill after contact with an asymptomatic carrier.

** Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, the only completed ship of this class

Orange Moldova launched its network in October 1998 under the brand of Voxtel and was the first and only carrier at the time.

As such the only major carrier on its territory is Interdnestrcom or IDC who began its operation in 1998.

* 1971 – Britain launches the satellite Prospero into low Earth orbit atop a Black Arrow carrier rocket, the only British satellite to date launched by a British rocket.

Though the developing fetus may only be a carrier of the PKU gene, the intrauterine environment can have very high levels of phenylalanine, which can cross the placenta.

The total length of common-used railway tracks exceeds 85, 500 km, second only to the U. S. Over 44, 000 km of tracks are electrified, which is the largest number in the world, and additionally there are more than 30, 000 km of industrial non-common carrier lines.

This can be accomplished by only reducing the carrier by a small amount ( or not at all ) this is known as compatible ( or full carrier ) SSB.

Unlike simple radio communication, which only needs to make transmitted signals audible, direction-finders measure the received signal strength, which necessitates linear amplification of the actual carrier wave.

There are kilometers of rail tracks out of which only kilometers are in common carrier service and kilometers are industrial lines.

In FM demodulation the receiver tracks the modulated frequency shift of the desired carrier while discriminating against any other signal since it can only follow the deviation of one signal at a time.

If the signals are close but not exactly on the same frequency the mix will not only include the audio from both carriers but depending on the carrier separation a whistle might be heard as well representing the difference in the carrier frequencies.

Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance ( CSMA / CA ) in computer networking, is a network multiple access method in which carrier sensing is used, but nodes attempt to avoid collisions by transmitting only when the channel is sensed to be " idle ".

It is a useful approximation, but setting the arbitrary definition of occupied bandwidth at 98 % of the power still means that the power outside the band is only about 17 dB less than the carrier inside, therefore Carson's Rule is of little use in spectrum planning.

A common carrier is distinguished from a contract carrier ( also called a public carrier in UK English ), which is a carrier that transports goods for only a certain number of clients and that can refuse to transport goods for anyone else, and from a private carrier.
