He had accordingly cultivated eccentricity to the point of second nature.

But during the second half of the century its fortunes reached a low point and when in 1897 Cyrus H. K. Curtis purchased it -- `` paper, type, and all '' -- for $1,000 it was a 16-page weekly filled with unsigned fiction and initialed miscellany, and with only some 2,000 subscribers.

Clearly, any line, l, of any bundle having one of these points of tangency, T, as vertex will be transformed into the entire pencil having the image of the second intersection of L and Q as vertex and lying in the plane determined by the image point and the generator of Af which is tangent to **zg at T.

A second major point of this essay is to examine the formal arrangements for the elections.

We should say that we made our point with feeling the first time and little or no feeling the second time, but that it was the same point we were making.

A second point requires more extended comment.

In practical terms, the ampere is a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point in an electric circuit per unit time with 6. 241 × 10 < sup > 18 </ sup > electrons, or one coulomb per second constituting one ampere.

Conversely, a current of one ampere is one coulomb of charge going past a given point per second:

From an economic point of view, the order Asparagales is second in importance within the monocots to the order Poales ( which includes grasses and cereals ).

If one also removes the second postulate (" a line can be extended indefinitely ") then elliptic geometry arises, where there is no parallel through a point outside a line, and in which the interior angles of a triangle add up to more than 180 degrees.

Following transposition and docking, the crew noticed the exterior surface of the Lunar Module was giving off particles from a spot where the LM's skin appeared torn or shredded ; at one point, Charlie Duke estimated they were seeing about five to ten particles per second.

Naming the central ray passing through the entrance pupil the axis of the pencil or principal ray, it can be said: the rays of the pencil intersect, not in one point, but in two focal lines, which can be assumed to be at right angles to the principal ray ; of these, one lies in the plane containing the principal ray and the axis of the system, i. e. in the first principal section or meridional section, and the other at right angles to it, i. e. in the second principal section or sagittal section.

Two astigmatic image surfaces correspond to one object plane ; and these are in contact at the axis point ; on the one lie the focal lines of the first kind, on the other those of the second.

At that point three launches in combat resulted in three kills, resulting in the AMRAAM being informally named " slammer " in the second half of the 1990s.

After rallying his troops near Schwennenbach – well beyond their starting point – Eugene prepared to launch a second attack, led by the second-line squadrons under the Duke of Württemberg-Teck.

The World Financial Center's ground floor and portions of the second floor are occupied by a mall ; its center point is a steel-and-glass atrium known as the Winter Garden.

Since the second half of the 20th century, computers have been programmed to play chess with increasing success, to the point where home computers can play chess at a very high level.

When a body is acted upon by external contact forces, internal contact forces are then transmitted from point to point inside the body to balance their action, according to Newton's second law of motion of conservation of linear momentum and angular momentum ( for continuous bodies these laws are called the Euler's equations of motion ).

The dealer flips a button to the " On " side and moves it to the point number signifying the second phase of the round.

The second round wins if the shooter rolls the come bet point again before a seven.

The second round wins if the shooter rolls a seven before the don't come point.

In flood-time it is said to have a second connection with the Rio Negro by a branch, which it throws off to the westward, called the Itinivini, which leaves it at a point about above its mouth.

During flood stage, the Casiquiare's main outflow point into the Rio Negro is supplemented by an overflow that is a second, and more minor, entry river bifurcation into the Rio Negro and upstream from its major, common low-water entry confluence with the Rio Negro.

It was evident that a second transfer had to be effected, and that it had to take place between the time the fille finished the doctor's room and the time she began Alex's.

Conjugative replication may require a second nick before successful transfer can occur.

State constitutions may grant certain rights above and beyond what are granted under the United States Constitution and may impose their own obligations including the sovereign right of taxation and military service ; each state maintains at least one military force subject to national militia transfer service, the state's national guard, and some states maintain a second military force not subject to nationalization.

All these proteins share a catalytic mechanism of di-metal-ion-mediated nucleotide transfer, whereby two acidic residues located at the end of the first strand and between the second and third strands of the RRM-like unit respectively, chelate two divalent cations.

However, when energy is transferred by means other than matter-transfer, the transfer produces changes in the second system, as a result of work done on it.

Molecules that are excited through light absorption or via a different process ( e. g. as the product of a reaction ) can transfer energy to a second ' sensitized ' molecule, which is converted to its excited state and can then fluoresce.

The second arm of government policy, driven mainly by Mahathir first as Education Minister and then as Prime Minister, was the transfer of economic power to the Malays.

In Roman law, the " contractor himself was considered the party to the contract and it took a second contract between the person who acted on behalf of a principal and the latter in order to transfer the rights and the obligations deriving from the contract to him ".

Some 26 months after the Earth Return Vehicle is originally launched from Earth, a second vehicle, the " Mars Habitat Unit ", would be launched on a 6-month long low energy transfer trajectory to Mars, and would carry a crew of four astronauts ( the minimum number required so that the team can be split in two without leaving anyone alone ).

The initial burn put the spacecraft into an Earth parking orbit and the second burn from 15: 02: 53 to 15: 04: 28 injected the craft into a Mars transfer orbit.

In astrophysics, mass transfer is the process by which matter gravitationally bound to a body, usually a star, fills its Roche lobe and becomes gravitationally bound to a second body, usually a compact object ( white dwarf, neutron star or black hole ), and is eventually accreted onto it.

Then repeatedly take the top card from the left hand and transfer it to the right, putting the second card at the top of the new deck, the third at the bottom, the fourth at the top, the fifth at the bottom, etc.

* The initial event is fetomaternal cell transfer causing microchimerism, with a second summative cause ( e. g. environmental ) leading to the actual development of the disease.

Aside from the high-definition transfer, the 2008 BFI releases are identical-the apparent five-minute difference in running time is explained by the Blu-ray running at the theatrical speed of 24 frames per second, while the DVD has been transferred at the slightly faster PAL video rate of 25 frames per second.

The BFI re-issue does indeed contain the missing 25 second poem intact, but according to Criterion's website this sequence is not an official part of the film, because the footage is not present in the interpositive that the camera negative was struck from ( which formed the basis of their transfer ).

Together the colleges form the second largest institution of higher education in the state, behind the University of Washington, to which many of their graduates transfer.

However, the latter hand can also be bid by first using a transfer and then showing the second suit naturally.

In classical thermodynamics, the second law is a basic postulate applicable to any system involving heat energy transfer ; in statistical thermodynamics, the second law is a consequence of the assumed randomness of molecular chaos.

Newton's second law describes the transfer of energy for impulse turbines.

Newton's second law describes the transfer of energy for impulse turbines.

The channels were 16 bits wide, and included 3 control bits and 4 for error correction, so the maximum transfer speed was 1 word per 100 ns, or 500 thousand words per second for the entire machine.

The maximum user signaling rate, synonymous to gross bitrate or data signaling rate, is the maximum rate, in bits per second, at which binary information can be transferred in a given direction between users over the telecommunications system facilities dedicated to a particular information transfer transaction, under conditions of continuous transmission and no overhead information.
