Another of Leonardo's compositional inventions, the pyramidal Holy Family, was repeated in a series of works that remain among his most famous easel paintings.

Leonardo's canopy was held open by a square wooden frame, which alters the shape of the parachute from conical to pyramidal.

The feasibility of Leonardo's pyramidal design was successfully tested in 2000 by the British Adrian Nicholas and again in 2008 by another skydiver.

This was the first building which gave the square its present-day characteristic silhouette ( pyramidal roofs had not yet been built on the Kremlin towers ).

The roof, which comprised most of the final third of the height, was pyramidal.

There was a pyramidal superstructure receding in twenty four steps to the summit.

The tower was probably topped with a Norman pyramidal roof ; the current roof is flat.

Built in receding tiers upon a rectangular, oval, or square platform, the ziggurat was a pyramidal structure.

Built in receding tiers upon a rectangular, oval, or square platform, the ziggurat was a pyramidal structure with a flat top.

It was generally about two metres long overall, consisting of an iron shank about 7 mm in diameter and 60 cm long with pyramidal head.

The weapon had a hard pyramidal tip but the shank itself was not hardened.

Built in the 14th century, it was modified in the mid-18th century with the addition of a pyramidal roof tiled with Welsh slate and capped with an open-sided timber cupola.

Etchmiadzin Cathedral ( c. 483 ) originally had a wooden dome covered by a wooden pyramidal roof before this was replaced with stone construction in 618.

The eight-sided Florence Baptistery, with its large octagonal cloister vault beneath a pyramidal roof, was likely built between 1059 and 1128, with the dome and attic built between 1090 and 1128.

This concept first occurred to Nietzsche while he was walking in Switzerland through the woods along the lake of Silvaplana ( close to Surlej ); he was inspired by the sight of a gigantic, towering, pyramidal rock.

This was a metal clip with a pyramidal top that fit into a slot cut into the sole of the ski boot.

The Matterhorn acquired its characteristic pyramidal shape in much more recent times as it was caused by natural erosion over the past million years.

Another design, a gigantic pyramidal earthwork entitled Monument to the American Plow, was similarly rejected, and his " sculptural landscape " of a playground, Play Mountain, was personally rejected by Parks Commissioner Robert Moses.

It is designed as a Tibetan style chorten, also called as the Jangchup Chorten, patterned on the design of a classical stupa, with a pyramidal pillar crowned by a crescent of Moon and Sun.

This type has a smaller effective frequency range than the pyramidal RAM and is designed to be fixed to good conductive surfaces.

He had designed a pyramidal grey stone tomb for Lady Blessington at Chambourcy, and he too was buried in it, with Napoleon III among the mourners at the funeral.

The Shard was designed with an irregular pyramidal shape from the base to the top, and is clad entirely in glass.

It featured a striking, pyramidal design and was designed by Trevor Fiore.

As a pyramidal bond geometry is forced upon the nitrogen atom by the ring strain, the resonance of the amid bond is reduced, and the carbonyl becomes more ketone-like.

Beginning in the first millennium AD, groups of Amerindians developed a political system, the cacicazgo, a pyramidal power structure headed by a cacique.

They came to the conclusion that modafinil's effect is mediated, at least in part, by a CaMKII-dependent exocytosis of gap junctions between GABAergicinterneurons and possibly even glutamatergic pyramidal cells.

The Cu atom forms an octahedral coordination with respect to oxygen atoms in the 2201 phase, whereas in 2212, the Cu atom is surrounded by five oxygen atoms in a pyramidal arrangement.

All team members in the pyramid are either killed or taken into the pyramidal craft by means of transport-rings made of the power-mineral.

Topaz crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, and its crystals are mostly prismatic terminated by pyramidal and other faces.

It is covered by seven cupolas, two of them pyramidal.

Place cell responses are shown by pyramidal cells in the hippocampus proper, and granule cells in the dentate gyrus.

Inhibitory interneurons, which make up most of the remaining cell population, frequently show significant place-related variations in firing rate, but much weaker than that shown by pyramidal or granule cells.

The main output pathway ( perforant path, first described by Ramon y Cajal ) of EC axons comes from the large stellate pyramidal cells in layer II that " perforate " the subiculum and project densely to the granule cells in the dentate gyrus, apical dendrites of CA3 get a less dense projection, and the apical dendrites of CA1 get a sparse projection.

In the theta mode, the EEG is dominated by large regular waves with a frequency range of 6 – 9 Hz, and the main groups of hippocampal neurons ( pyramidal cells and granule cells ) show sparse population activity, which means that in any short time interval, the great majority of cells are silent, while the small remaining fraction fire at relatively high rates, up to 50 spikes in one second for the most active of them.

Stress-related steroids affect the hippocampus in at least three ways: first, by reducing the excitability of some hippocampal neurons ; second, by inhibiting the genesis of new neurons in the dentate gyrus ; third, by causing atrophy of dendrites in pyramidal cells of the CA3 region.

( The angle formed by the edges at the pyramidal apex, known as the tetrahedral angle, is approximately 109 ° 28 ' 16 " ().

In 1965, László Fejes Tóth discovered that the trihedral pyramidal shape ( which is composed of three rhombi ) used by the honeybee is not the theoretically optimal three-dimensional geometry.

Reelin also plays an important role in the adult brain by modulating cortical pyramidal neuron dendritic spine expression density, the branching of dendrites, and the expression of long-term potentiation as its secretion is continued diffusely by the GABAegric cortical interneurons those origin is traced to the medial ganglionic eminence.

The imaginary number, or imaginary unit, is also noted to have been first observed by Hero while calculating the volume of a pyramidal frustum.

* A notable example of a pyramidal frustum appears on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States on the back of the United States one-dollar bill, the " unfinished pyramid " being surmounted by the Eye of Providence.
