By the end of the third act, the artist is dead but the body lingers on, a shell among other shells.

The number of electrons in each element's electron shells, particularly the outermost valence shell, is the primary factor in determining its chemical bonding behavior.

Within the genus Prunus, it is classified with the peach in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated shell ( endocarp ) surrounding the seed.

The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed or " nut " ( which is not a true nut ) inside.

In Hinduism, the belief is that the body is but a shell, the soul inside is immutable and indestructible and takes on different lives in a cycle of birth and death.

The energy necessary to remove an electron from its shell ( taking it to infinity ) is called the binding energy.

However, if the excited atom has been previously ionized, in particular if one of its inner shell electrons has been removed, a phenomenon known as the Auger effect may take place where the quantity of energy is transferred to one of the bound electrons causing it to go into the continuum.

Within a shell where n is some integer n < sub > 0 </ sub >, ranges across all ( integer ) values satisfying the relation.

The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of nacre or mother-of-pearl, which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong and changeable colors, which make the shells attractive to humans as decorative objects, and as a source of colorful mother-of-pearl.

The shell is generally ear shaped, presenting two to three whorls.

The last whorl ( known as the body whorl ) is auriform, meaning that the shell resembles an ear, giving rise to the common name " ear shell ".

These holes collectively make up what is known as the selenizone which form as the shell grows.

The color of the shell is very variable from species to species, and may reflect the animal's diet.

By weight, approximately 1 / 3 of the animal is edible meat, 1 / 3 is offal, and 1 / 3 is shell.

The shell of the abalone is exceptionally strong and is made of microscopic calcium carbonate tiles stacked like bricks.

When the abalone shell is struck, the tiles slide instead of shattering and the protein stretches to absorb the energy of the blow.

The dust created through the grinding and cutting of abalone shell is dangerous ; appropriate safeguards must be taken to protect people from inhaling these particles.

The team to lay out the body shell design was led by Ferry Porsche's eldest son, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche ( F.

As first mentioned in regard to earliest ZBD closed-core transformers, transformers are generally considered to be either core form or shell form in design depending on the type of magnetic circuit used in winding construction ( see image ).

That is, when winding coils are wound around the core, transformers are termed as being of core form design ; when winding coils are surrounded by the core, transformers are termed as being of shell form design.

Core form design tends to, as a general rule, be more economical, and therefore more prevalent, than shell form design for high voltage power transformer applications at the lower end of their voltage and power rating ranges ( less than or equal to, nominally, 230 kV or 75 MVA ).

Shell form design tends to be preferred for extra high voltage and higher MVA applications because, though more labor intensive to manufacture, shell form transformers are characterized as having inherently better kVA-to-weight ratio, better short-circuit strength characteristics and higher immunity to transit damage.

Shrapnel is named after Major-General Henry Shrapnel ( 1761 – 1842 ), an English artillery officer, whose experiments, initially conducted in his own time and at his own expense, culminated in the design and development of a new type of artillery shell.

Lieutenant-Colonel Boxer adapted his design in 1864 to produce shrapnel shells for the new rifled muzzle-loader ( RML ) guns: the walls were of thick cast iron, but the gunpowder charge was now in the shell base with a tube running through the centre of the shell to convey the ignition flash from the time fuze in the nose to the gunpowder charge in the base.

In the 1870s William Armstrong provided a design with the bursting charge in the head and the shell wall made of steel and hence much thinner than previous cast-iron shrapnel shell walls.

The final shrapnel shell design, adopted in the 1880s, bore little similarity to Henry Shrapnel's original design other than its spherical bullets and time fuze.

During the 1880s, when both the old cast-iron and modern forged-steel shrapnel shell designs were in British service, British ordnance manuals referred to the older cast-iron design as " Boxer shrapnel ", apparently to differentiate it from the modern steel design.

The ideal shrapnel design would have had a timer fuze in the shell base to avoid the need for a central tube, but this was not technically feasible due to the need to manually adjust the fuze before firing, and was in any case rejected from an early date by the British due to risk of premature ignition and irregular action.

* The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore's dome construction is started after Filippo Brunelleschi wins the commission for his " double shell " design.

As with his previous four novels, Fleming himself came up with the concept of the front cover design ; as he had considered Honeychile Rider to have a Venus-like quality when introduced in the book, he wanted this echoed in the cover, which he commissioned to show her on a Venus elegans shell ; the final artwork was undertaken by Pat Marriott.

In this design, most instruments are contained in a spherical pressure vessel with an outer shell of titanium and an inner shell of stainless steel.

Mario in combat with Koopas and Paratroopas in Super Mario World, having knocked the wings off one of the latter. In 1990's Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Koopa Troopa's design was changed slightly, as it was given shoes according to the colour of its shell and made bipedal, and although quadrupedal Koopas would be seen in Super Mario Land ( albeit as " Bombshell Koopas "-which were similar to Koopa Troopas except their shells exploded ) and its sequel, they would not be seen again until 2007's Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel, with bipedal Koopas remaining the most common design throughout the series.

The main design objectives for the C shell were that it should look more like the C programming language and that it should be better for interactive use.

The primary benefits over rifled barrels is reduced barrel wear, longer ranges that can be achieved ( due to the reduced loss of energy to friction and gas escaping around the projectile via the rifling ) and larger explosive cores for a given caliber artillery due to less metal needing to be used to form the case of the projectile because of less force applied to the shell from the non-rifled sides of the barrel of smooth bore guns.

The shell is accelerated to a high velocity in a very short time by the rapid generation of gas from the burning propellant.

We see this as diminishing of pressure on the outer shell ( which is used in the ideal gas law ), so we write ( something ) instead of.

The properties of the noble gases can be well explained by modern theories of atomic structure: their outer shell of valence electrons is considered to be " full ", giving them little tendency to participate in chemical reactions, and it has been possible to prepare only a few hundred noble gas compounds.

During the AGB phase, the star undergoes mass loss, emitting a circumstellar shell of hydrogen gas.

The expanding shell of gas forms a supernova remnant, a special diffuse nebula.

Rigel is surrounded by a shell of expelled gas.

This shock wave sweeps up an expanding shell of gas and dust called a supernova remnant.

The gas builds up in an expanding shell called a circumstellar envelope and cools as it moves away from the star, allowing dust particles and molecules to form.

Chandra X-ray spectra show that the hot gas shell on the upper left contains a high abundance of iron.

A planetary nebula is an emission nebula consisting of an expanding glowing shell of ionized gas ejected during the asymptotic giant branch phase of certain types of stars late in their life.

This filament may be part of a shell of neutral gas that surrounds the hot bubble.

* if the wavelengths of spectral lines are shifted this points to movements ( for example, a periodical swelling and shrinking of the star, or its rotation, or an expanding gas shell ) ( Doppler effect )

The detonated shell released only a small amount of sarin gas, either because the explosion failed to mix the binary agents properly or because the chemicals inside the shell had degraded significantly with age.

This is a shell of ionized gas expelled into the surrounding interstellar medium by a red giant star, which was passing through the last stage in its evolution before becoming a white dwarf.

This produces a hysterical outburst from his younger grandson, George Fentiman, a veteran of World War I still suffering from the effects of poison gas and shell shock.

The device, operated by special SS units, apparently resembled a tortoise shell in shape, and flew by means of gas jets that spun like a Catherine wheel around the fuselage.

Some freshwater species, when exposed to the air, can gape the shell slightly and gas exchange can take place.

The lower resolution image on the left image was taken with the UK's MERLIN array and shows the shell of maser emission produced by an expanding shell of gas with a diameter about 200 times that of our own Solar System.

The shell of gas was ejected from a supergiant star ( 10 times the mass of our sun ) at the centre of the emission about 900 years ago.

The high temperatures and radiation cause gas to move outward radially in a thin, dense shell called " the hydrodynamic front.
