The obelisk marked a center, and a granite fountain by Carlo Maderno stood to one side: Bernini made the fountain appear to be one of the foci of the ovato tondo embraced by his colonnades and eventually matched it on the other side, in 1675, just five years before his death.

At the center of the ovato tondo stands an Egyptian obelisk of red granite, 25. 5 meters tall, supported on bronze lions and surmounted by the Chigi arms in bronze, in all 41 meters to the cross on its top.

Once on course towards the Moon, the crew put the spacecraft into a rotisserie " barbecue " mode in which the craft rotated along its long axis three times per hour to ensure even heat distribution about the spacecraft from the Sun.

The Gaussian theory, however, is only true so long as the angles made by all rays with the optical axis ( the symmetrical axis of the system ) are infinitely small, i. e. with infinitesimal objects, images and lenses ; in practice these conditions are not realized, and the images projected by uncorrected systems are, in general, ill defined and often completely blurred, if the aperture or field of view exceeds certain limits.

For the case of an object that is small compared with the radial distance to its axis of rotation, such as a tin can swinging from a long string or a planet orbiting in a circle around the Sun, the angular momentum can be expressed as its linear momentum,, crossed by its position from the origin, r. Thus, the angular momentum L of a particle with respect to some point of origin is

The mother centriole has radiating appendages at the distal end of its long axis and is attached to the daughter centriole at the other proximal end.

* Director, the spatial and temporal average of the orientation of the long molecular axis within a small volume element of liquid crystal

For twisting rotation to exist, it is necessary to tilt the body sideways after takeoff, so that there is now a small component of this horizontal angular momentum vector along the body's long axis.

If we draw an ellipse twice as long as it is wide, and draw the circle centered at the ellipse's center with diameter equal to the ellipse's longer axis, then on any line parallel to the shorter axis the length within the circle is twice the length within the ellipse.

The lakes are long and narrow ( resembling fingers ), and are oriented roughly on a north-south axis.

The ball begins on the ground with its long axis parallel to the sidelines of the field, its ends marking each team's line of scrimmage in American football ; in Canadian football line of scrimmage of the team without the ball is 1 yard past their side of the ball.

However, some liquid crystals are biaxial nematics, meaning that in addition to orienting their long axis, they also orient along a secondary axis.

The local nematic director, which is also the local optical axis, is given by the spatial and temporal average of the long molecular axes

Higher topsides were supported with knees with the long axis fastened to the top of the crossbeams.

They generally have one long axis and concave or convex edges, and it is possible for them to have a gibbosity ( hump ) or indentations.

The magnet producing a field parallel to the long axis of the device is not shown. A similar magnetron with a different section removed.

Together they form the upper branch of an ellipse of long semimajor axis that approximately orientates from west to east.

In monoskiing, the user stands with feet inline with direction of travel ( facing tip of monoski / downhill ) ( parallel to long axis of board ), whereas in snowboarding, users stand with feet transverse ( more or less ) to the longitude of the board.

However, in this case the plasma would see no force along the long axis, and would rapidly flow out the ends of the solenoid and escape.

# A line painted along the long axis of the table to create doubles courts bisects the table.

* Ailerons ( usually near the wingtips ) to roll the aircraft clockwise or counterclockwise about its long axis

A drumlin's long axis is parallel with the movement of the ice ; it is roughly symmetrical around the long axis.

There should be 10'' '' between the two parallel members and each should be 1'' '' from an end of the long piece.

Tadpoles do not have true teeth but, in most species, the jaws have long, parallel rows of small keratinized structures called keradonts surrounded by a horny beak.

NGC 1502 is also associated with Kemble's Cascade, an small chain of stars 2. 5 ° long that is parallel to the Milky Way and is pointed towards Cassiopeia.

Buddy is furious, and Ben, startled by the parallel between present and past, tells Sally it was over long ago.

For some events they can be made in extended forms without a frame at all, but only a long parallel rank of laser beams yet are still called laser harps.

The virginal is a smaller and simpler rectangular form of the harpsichord having only one string per note ; the strings run parallel to the keyboard, which is on the long side of the case.

In a nematic phase, the calamitic or rod-shaped organic molecules have no positional order, but they self-align to have long-range directional order with their long axes roughly parallel.

When an electric field is applied to the LC layer, the long molecular axes tend to align parallel to the electric field thus gradually untwisting in the center of the liquid crystal layer.

The Atharva Veda, representing an independent tradition markedly different from the other three Vedas, is a rich source parallel to the Vedic traditions of the Rig, Sam and Yajur Vedas, containing detailed descriptions of various kinds of magical rituals for different results ranging from punishing enemies, to acquisition of wealth health, long life, or a good harvest.

To form the long strip scrolls required, a number of such sheets were united, placed so all the horizontal fibres parallel with the roll's length were on one side and all the vertical fibres on the other.

Normally, texts were first written on the recto, the lines following the fibres, parallel to the long edges of the scroll.

A juniper or incense-cedar plank with several long parallel grooves is cut to fashion a " slat ," and the graphite / clay strings are inserted into the grooves.

The common contemporary Latin legal term used in documents of the Holy Roman Empire was for a long time regnum (" rule, domain, empire ", such as in Regnum Francorum for the Frankish Kingdom ) before imperium was in fact adopted, the latter first attested in 1157, whereas the parallel use of regnum never fell out of use during the Middle Ages.

* In parallel computing, it takes a long time to manually load a new program on every node of a large computer cluster or distributed computing system.

In other words, the setting also provided a context for Barker's constructed languages which were developed in parallel from the mid-to-late 1940s, long before the mass-market publication of his works in roleplaying game and book form.
