For a D whistle, this includes notes from the second D above middle C to the fourth D above middle C. It is possible to make sounds above this range, by blowing with sufficient force, but, in most musical contexts, the result will be loud and out of tune due to a cylindrical bore.

For most bands and most small-to mid-size venues ( e. g., nightclubs and bars ), standard bass guitar speaker enclosures or keyboard amplifiers will provide sufficient sound pressure levels for onstage monitoring. Since a regular electric bass has a low " E " ( 41 Hz ) as its lowest note, most standard bass guitar cabinets are only designed with a range that goes down to about 40 Hz.

The Stern Review notes that the prediction that " under business as usual, global emissions will be sufficient to propel greenhouse gas concentrations to over 550ppm e by 2050 and over 650 – 700ppm by the end of this century is robust to a wide range of changes in model assumptions ".

One reason is the US strategy of daylight precision bombing and the corresponding high loss rate it causes to the American bombers to enemy antiaircraft fire and enemy fighters, the latter being aggravated by the fact that there are not yet any US or Allied fighters with sufficient range to escort the bombers to and from their targets.

Four anatomic features must be present for orotracheal intubation to be straightforward: adequate mouth opening ( full range of motion of the temporomandibular joint ), sufficient pharyngeal space ( determined by examining the back of the mouth ), sufficient submandibular space ( distance between the thyroid cartilage and the chin, the space into which the tongue must be displaced in order for the larygoscopist to view the glottis ), and adequate extension of the cervical spine at the atlanto-occipital joint.

Thus, for the human wave attack to succeed on the modern battlefield, it is imperative for the attackers to charge into the enemy line in the shortest time and in the greatest numbers possible, so that a sufficient mass can be preserved when the attackers reach melee range.

An important prospective carrier, Singapore Airlines ( SIA ), required a fully laden aircraft that could fly from Singapore to Paris, against strong headwinds during mid-winter ; the MD-11 did not have sufficient range for this at the time.
