However, if clusters are selected with probability proportionate to size, the same number of interviews should be carried out in each sampled cluster so that each unit sampled has the same probability of selection.

According to Charles Darwin's 1859 theory of natural selection, features such as camouflage evolved by providing individual animals with a reproductive advantage, enabling them to leave more offspring, on average, than other members of the same species.

A story similar in character, and obviously older in date, is the one alluded to in 2 Maccabees 1: 18 et seq according to which the relighting of the altar fire by Nehemiah was due to a miracle which occurred on the 25th of Kislev, and which appears to be given as the reason for the selection of the same date for the rededication of the altar by Judah Maccabee.

* Fixed profits – the stakes vary based on the odds to ensure the same profit from each winning selection.

* Fixed stakes – a traditional system of staking the same amount on each selection.

At the same time, there are probably more people building now than ever, and there is a large selection of supportive magazines such as Fine Scale Modeller, Military Miniatures in Review ( MMiR ) and Tamiya Magazine from every imaginable era.

This list includes only those countries where the national selection contest allows the same participant to go multiple times to the IOI.

Finally, via this same selection process, a protective layer of transparent cells over the aperture was differentiated into a crude lens, and the interior of the eye was filled with humours to assist in focusing images.

All Australian states allow for peremptory challenges in jury selection, however, the number of challenges granted to the counsels in each state are not all the same.

Kohlrabi has been created by artificial selection for lateral meristem growth ( a swollen, nearly spherical shape ); its origin in nature is the same as that of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, and Brussels sprouts: they are all bred from, and are the same species as the wild cabbage plant ( Brassica oleracea ).

Soviet newspapers carried stories about Chernenko's death and Gorbachev's selection on the same day.

There seems no reason to think that the same balance will exist in the selection pressures on memes.

MIDI allows selection of an instrument's sounds through program change messages, but there is no guarantee that any two instruments have the same sound at a given program location.

Natural selection can act on any heritable phenotypic trait, and selective pressure can be produced by any aspect of the environment, including sexual selection and competition with members of the same or other species.

Sexual selection can be intrasexual, as in cases of competition among individuals of the same sex in a population, or intersexual, as in cases where one sex controls reproductive access by choosing among a population of available mates.

If the selection forces remain the same for many generations, beneficial alleles become more and more abundant, until they dominate the population, while alleles with a lesser fitness disappear.

traded the team's first overall selection in the 2001 NFL Draft to the Atlanta Falcons for the first round selection ( fifth overall ) and third-round selection in the same draft.

He remarks that the artificial selection practised by animal breeders frequently produced sharp divergence in character between breeds, and suggests that natural selection might do the same, saying:

Also in case of Single Instructions Multiple Data — a case when a lot of data from the same type has to be processed, modern processors can disable parts of the pipeline so that when a single instruction is executed many times, the CPU skips the fetch and decode phases and thus greatly increases performance on certain occasions, especially in highly monotonous program engines such as video creation software and photo processing.

This occurs because internal combustion engines are heat engines, and higher efficiency is created because higher compression ratios permit the same combustion temperature to be reached with less fuel, while giving a longer expansion cycle, creating more mechanical power output and lowering the exhaust temperature.

Cities are traditionally engines of social modernization and economic growth and at the same time the theatres in which globalization stages its actions.

Similar changes have been applied to smaller diesel engines giving them almost the same power characteristics as petrol engines.

A second class of internal combustion engines use continuous combustion: gas turbines, jet engines and most rocket engines, each of which are internal combustion engines on the same principle as previously described.

All internal combustion engines depend on combustion of a chemical fuel, typically with oxygen from the air ( though it is possible to inject nitrous oxide to do more of the same thing and gain a power boost ).

Two brothers, Jabez Carter Hornblower and Jonathan Hornblower Jnr also started to build engines about the same time.

In 1974, the original VAZ-2101 was updated with new engines and interiors ; VAZ-2102 underwent the same improvements in 1976.

The rotary models quickly became popular for their combination of good power and light weight when compared to piston-engined competitors that required heavier V6 or V8 engines to produce the same power.

The syntax is the same for all search engines who support the tag.

At about the same time, James Watt proposed using screws to propel boats, although he did not use them for his steam engines.

** Engine number is same M28 / 21 and M28 / 22 on the high-compression 2-valve engines.

Engine number is same M28 / 21 and M28 / 22 on the high compression 2-valve engines.

Opposed-piston engines put two pistons working at opposite ends of the same cylinder and this has been extended into triangular arrangements such as the Napier Deltic.

Most rotary engines were arranged with the cylinders pointing outwards from a single crankshaft, in the same general form as a radial, but there were also rotary boxer engines and even one-cylinder rotaries.

They used the same graphics subsystem and Ethernet as the 2000s, but could also use up to 12 " geometry engines ", the first widespread use of hardware graphics accelerators.

Some SSTO vehicles use the same engine for all altitudes, which is a problem for traditional engines with a bell-shaped nozzle.

It is becoming more common as the space allowed for engines in modern cars is reduced at the same time as power requirements increase, and has largely replaced the inline-6, which is too long to fit in many modern engine compartments.

90 ° V6 engines are also produced, usually so they can use the same production-line tooling set up to produce V8 engines ( which normally have a 90 ° V angle ).

And he was fleeing, running -- fleeing his death and his life at the same time.

At the same moment Wheeler Fiske fired the rifle Mike had given him and another guerrilla was hit.

At one and the same time, she was within it but still searching for the drawbridge that would give her entry.
