These are used for frozen or rocky terrain, and are normally issued only where needed, such as extremely cold areas.

When freestyle skiing began in the late 1990s only a select few resorts were home to a terrain park.

The claws of the feet are only used on hard, rough terrain where a firm grip is needed ; on soft substrates such as moss, the velvet worm walks on the foot cushions at the base of the claws.

Cantaloupe terrain, which is mostly dirty water ice, is known to exist only on Triton.

The return of the British force to Boston following the search operations at Concord was subject to constant skirmishing, using partisan forces gathered from communities all along the route, making maximum use of the terrain ( particularly trees and stone field walls ) to overcome the limitations of their weapons-muskets with an effective range of only about 50 – 70 metres.

With good knowledge of the terrain they had little problem in defending themselves against the Schutztruppe ( initially numbering only 766 ).

Approximately only 0. 7 % of Iceland's surface area is arable, since the island's terrain is mostly mountainous and volcanic.

These views showed mountainous terrain, very different from the near side, and only two dark, low-lying regions which were named Mare Moscoviense ( Sea of Moscow ) and Mare Desiderii ( Sea of Desire ).

The terrain is mostly flat near the coast, with low hills defining the rest of the area, rising significantly only in the north of the county.

The terrain of the county is mostly level, becoming more elevated only in its northern extreme.

Although the Sauratown Mountains occupy only 5 % of Stokes County, they dominate the scenery from almost any direction, abruptly rising from 800 to above the surrounding terrain.

It had an overshot waterwheel, which seems quite remarkable when considering the surrounding terrain and the fact that the mill was only supplied by the small Beeston Beck.

Most of the park is accessible for hikers, but due to its remoteness and rugged terrain only experienced bushwalkers should undertake extensive hikes.

Virtually the only possible variation is using a different reference date, in particular one less distant in the past to make the numbers smaller.

One of these, Itō's lemma, expresses the composite of an Itō process ( or more generally a semimartingale ) dX < sub > t </ sub > with a twice-differentiable function f. In Itō's lemma, the derivative of the composite function depends not only on dX < sub > t </ sub > and the derivative of f but also on the second derivative of f. The dependence on the second derivative is a consequence of the non-zero quadratic variation of the stochastic process, which broadly speaking means that the process can move up and down in a very rough way.

The structure and branching of a neuron's dendrites, as well as the availability and variation in voltage-gated ion conductances, strongly influences how it integrates the input from other neurons, particularly those that input only weakly.

This expression is correct in the full theory of general relativity, to lowest order in the gravitational field, and ignoring the variation of the space-space and space-time components of the metric tensor, which only affect fast moving objects.

Cecil Sharp had an influential idea about the process of folk variation: he felt that the competing variants of a traditional song would undergo a process akin to biological natural selection: only those new variants that were the most appealing to ordinary singers would be picked up by others and transmitted onward in time.

Blending inheritance would lead to uniformity across populations in only a few generations and thus would remove variation from a population on which natural selection could act.

* The most important variation to the simple variant is an improvement by R. W. Floyd that, in practice, gives about a 25 % speed improvement by using only one comparison in each siftup run, which must be followed by a siftdown for the original child.

One variation that states that all three goddesses remained fully clothed, but it is mostly agreed that either only Aphrodite undressed, or else all three goddesses did.

( This is a relatively new variation of letterbox, and has only just recently begun to take off.

The first variation consists of three distinct steps ( the Bosch Process as used in the Plasma-Therm tool ) while the second variation only consists of two steps ( ASE used in the STS tool ).

Squad automatic weapons ( SAW ) are a variation of light machine gun and require only one operator ( sometimes with an assistant to carry ammunition ).

giving an error of only about half an hour in 687 years ( 2. 5 seconds a year ), although this is subject to secular variation in the length of the tropical year and the lunation.

There is also a variation of the " Fully Wild " rule in which the wild card ( in this instance they are usually jokers as there are traditionally only two and there is only one black and one red ) can be any card of the suits matching the cards colour or current suit.

This study focuses not only on pathogenic conditions observable in bones or mummified soft tissue, but also on nutritional disorders, variation in stature or the morphology of bones over time, evidence of physical trauma, or evidence of occupationally derived biomechanic stress.

It is a variation on the traditional hoagie, with no lettuce and only one meat.

There is much variation in severity between patients, with some having scleroderma of only a limited area of the skin ( such as the fingers ) and little involvement of the underlying tissue ; while others have progressive skin involvement.

In science, researchers commonly report the standard deviation of experimental data, and only effects that fall far outside the range of standard deviation are considered statistically significant – normal random error or variation in the measurements is in this way distinguished from causal variation.

On linear rules, the scales and their labeling are highly standardized, with variation usually occurring only in terms of which scales are included and in what order:

The customary salute in the Polish Armed Forces is the two-fingers salute, a variation of the British military salute with only two fingers extended.

Another variation, the Weaver modulator, uses only lowpass filters and quadrature mixers, and is a favored method in digital implementations.
