Following the inflationary period, the universe continued to expand, but at a slower rate.

The disadvantage is the greater weight and clumsiness compared to a bow, as well as the slower rate of fire and the lower efficiency of the acceleration system, but there would be reduced elastic hysteresis, making the crossbow a more accurate weapon.

An " abnormal " liver with conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, gall bladder disease, and cancer will have a slower rate of metabolism.

Conservation of angular momentum in the Earth-Moon system requires that the angular momentum lost by the Earth due to tidal friction be transferred to the Moon, increasing its angular momentum, which means that its moment arm ( its distance from the Earth ) is increased ( for the time being about + 3. 8 cm / year ), which via Kepler's laws of planetary motion causes the Moon to revolve around the Earth at a slower rate.

In dry soils, decomposition slows as well, but bacteria continue to grow ( albeit at a slower rate ) even after soils become too dry to support plant growth.

The term high explosive is in contrast to the term low explosive, which explodes ( deflagrates ) at a slower rate.

He considered an accelerating box, and noted that according to the special theory of relativity, the clock rate at the bottom of the box was slower than the clock rate at the top.

Cannons could bring down even heavy bombers with just a few hits, but their slower rate of fire made it difficult to hit fast moving fighters in a dogfight.

This form of loading has several disadvantages such as having to expose one's self to enemy fire to reload and a slower rate of fire.

Powder used for rocketry can use a slower burn rate since it will accelerate the projectile for a much longer period of time, whereas powders for use in weapons such as flintlocks, caplocks or matchlocks need a higher burn rate since they must accelerate the projectile in a much shorter distance.

The scripting and 3D animation is slower, enemies have only their front sprites and lack gory deaths when attacked by strong hits or weapons, and the frame rate is slower.

When the modulation rate is on time scales much slower than the cavity lifetime and the time period over which energy can be stored in the lasing medium or pumping mechanism, then it is still classified as a " modulated " or " pulsed " continuous wave laser.

Children with reduced abilities to repeat nonwords ( a marker of speech repetition abilities ) show a slower rate of vocabulary expansion than children for whom this is easy.

This decay process is at a much slower rate than the initial de-excitation and is dependent on unique half-life of the radioactive nucleus.

Though both reactors and nuclear weapons rely on nuclear chain reactions, the rate of reactions in a reactor is much slower than in a bomb.

This is not a paradox: time passes at a slower rate when measured from a frame moving with respect to the object.

Monatomic oxygen is electrically neutral and although it does recombine during the channeling, it does so at a slower rate than the positively or negatively charged free radicals, which attract one another.

Key realizations made during World War II, notably the fact that most small-arms engagements occurred within 100 yards ( 90 meters ), and that a high rate of fire was generally more effective than the slower but more accurate fire, ( such as provided by bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles ) were some of the key causes for the development of the assault rifle.

If they factor out of the calculation the fact that the light-time delay of the transmission is increasing at a rate of 0. 8 seconds per second, both can work out that the other twin is aging slower, at 60 % rate.

They reduce their tissue density through high fat content, reduction of skeletal weight – accomplished through reductions of size, thickness, and mineral content – and water accumulation makes them slower and less agile than surface fish.

SheerVideo was initially developed by Andreas Wittenstein at BitJazz Inc. in July 2002 by trimming all the fat from BitJazz's slower but more powerful codec, PhotoJazz.

While poppyseed oil does not cause as much yellowish tinting of paints as linseed oil, it dries slower and is less durable than linseed oil because the fat responsible for the yellowing also provides durability.

The physical removal mechanisms affecting the timescale of smoke particle removal are how quickly the particles in the smoke coagulate and fall out of the atmosphere via dry deposition, and to a slower degree, the time it takes for solar radiation pressure to move the particles to a lower level in the atmosphere.

After this has become easy, use slower and slower rhythms, kicking higher and higher.

The privatization of industry has been at a slower pace, but has been given renewed emphasis by the current administration.

Only slower trains stop at these, but Aachen-West has developed enormous importance due to the expanding RWTH Aachen university.

It features a full Atari SALLY 6502 processor whereas the 2600 VCS has a stripped down 6507 processor running at a slower speed.

Since the stagflation of the 1970s, the U. S. economy has been characterized by slower GDP growth.

Otherwise ( cache miss ), the data has to be recomputed or fetched from its original storage location, which is comparatively slower.

It has been seen in receptive aphasia that larger lesions correlate to slower recovery.

But this solution has a defect: expert system runs slower than a traditional program because he consistently " thinks " when in fact a classic software just follows paths traced by the programmer.

For example, if gravitational waves were observed to propagate slower than c ( the speed of light in a vacuum ), that would imply that the graviton has mass.

Although somewhat slower in practice on most machines than a well-implemented quicksort, it has the advantage of a more favorable worst-case O ( n log n ) runtime.

However, due to the economic crisis Britain has faced over the past year, the development has taken a much slower pace.

Electron beam lithography has the disadvantage of being much slower than photolithography.

Testing has shown MIDI over USB to perform slightly slower than MIDI over a standard connection, and with higher latency.

The Economist noted, " Laurie Williams of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City has shown that paired programmers are only 15 % slower than two independent individual programmers, but produce 15 % fewer bugs.

For example, a wrestler may get whipped into a referee at a slower speed, knocking the ref down for short amount of time ; during that interim period, one wrestler may pin his opponent for a three-count and would have won the match but for the referee being down ( sometimes, another referee will sprint to the ring from backstage to attempt to make the count, but by then, the other wrestler has had enough time to kick out on his own accord ).

The sweep oared boat has to be stiffer to handle these unmatched forces, so consequently requires more bracing and is usually heavier – a pair ( 2 -) is usually a more robust boat than a double scull ( 2x ) for example, and being heavier is also slower when used as a double scull.

Each chamber has to be reloaded manually, which makes reloading a revolver a much slower procedure than reloading a semi-automatic pistol.

As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.

However, this created some controversy as the Chinese National Team argued that this was merely to give non-Chinese players a better chance of winning since the new type of balls has a slower speed, while at that time most Chinese players were playing with fast attack and smashes.

This method of barbecue has a varying duration ( depending on whether a slow cooker or pressure cooker is used ), and is generally slower than regular grilling or baking, but faster than pit-smoking.
