Many handicappers believed the predicted speed duel with Cormorant would jeopardize the Derby winner's chances ; Andrew Beyer picked Cormorant to win in his Washington Post column.

However, he was drawn into a three-horse speed duel with the good stakes horses Siphon and Dramatic Gold, going the first ¾ of a mile in a very fast 1: 09 1 / 5.

The introduction of the rear window caused in most models a loss of cruise speed due to the extra drag, while not adding any useful visibility.

According to Jim Butterfield, this caused a speed reduction by a factor of five.

This was thought to be due to synchrotron radiation, caused by the injection of relativistic electronselectrons with velocities near the speed of lightinto the Jovian magnetosphere by the impacts.

In the book The Neyer / James Guide to Pitchers, sports journalist Rob Neyer wrote that the speed with which pitchers like Cy Young, Amos Rusie, and Jouett Meekin threw was the impetus that caused the move.

This caused many issues with incompatibility, where a true IBM-compatible third-party card ( designed for an 8 MHz or 4. 77 MHz bus ) might not work in a higher speed system ( or even worse, would work unreliably ).

A particularly dangerous form of slow earthquake is the tsunami earthquake, observed where the relatively low felt intensities, caused by the slow propagation speed of some great earthquakes, fail to alert the population of the neighbouring coast, as in the 1896 Meiji-Sanriku earthquake.

The speed with which the coils are applied is impressive and the force they exert may be significant, but death is caused by suffocation, with the victim not being able to move its ribs to breathe while it is being constricted.

Most of these employed some type of flywheel-friction disc to control the speed of the rotating cylinder or turntable ; as the speed increased, centrifugal force caused a brake — often a felt pad — to rub against a smooth metal surface, slowing rotation.

It also absorbs small, fast speed variations, caused by " cogging ", which in other designs are heard as " flutter.

The supersonic wind tunnel at Peenemünde's " Aerodynamic Institute " eventually had nozzles for speeds up to the record speed of Mach 4. 4 ( in 1942 or 1943 ), as well as an innovative dessiccant system to reduce the condensation clouding caused by the use of liquid oxygen, in 1940.

The luminance signal is recorded in its original form ( albeit with some reduction of bandwidth ) but the PAL chrominance signal of about 4. 4 MHz is too sensitive to small changes in frequency caused by inevitable small variations in tape speed to be recorded directly ( NTSC suffers from the same problem ).

A joint Japanese-Vietnamese evaluation team found that the poor state of railway infrastructure was the fundamental cause for most railway accidents, of which the most common types are train crashes against vehicles and persons, especially at illegal level crossings ; derailments caused by failure to decrease speed was also noted as a common cause of accidents.

Librations are primarily caused by the Moon's varying orbital speed due to the eccentricity of its orbit: this allows earthlings to see up to about 6 ° more along its perimeter.

and Ho, A. T. K., ( 2002 ) " Effects of navigation speed on the level of cybersickness caused by an immersive virtual environment ".

Gamma Cassiopeiae ( γ Cas ) variables are BIII-IVe type stars that fluctuate irregularly by up to 1. 5 magnitudes ( fourfold change in luminosity ) due to the ejection of matter at their equatorial regions caused by a fast rotational speed.

Its much greater speed caused it to spread very quickly throughout the BBS community.

In addition the tailplane helps adjust for changes in the center of lift, and center of gravity caused by changes in speed and attitude, or when fuel is burned off, or when cargo or payload is dropped from the aircraft.

The speed with which the coils are applied is impressive and the force they exert may be significant, but death is caused by suffocation, with the victim not being able to move its ribs in order to breathe while it is being constricted.

Archaeologists are also concerned that an increase in humidity caused by the lake will speed Pasargadae's gradual destruction, however, experts from the Ministry of Energy believe this would be negated by controlling the water level of the dam reservoir.

Current research is primarily aimed at reducing operational noise, particularly the tunnel boom phenomenon caused when trains enter tunnels at high speed.

That is, it would take more energy to gauge the speed of the molecules and allow them to selectively pass through the opening between A and B than the amount of energy saved by the difference of temperature caused by this.

Investigations later showed that a particular combination of draughts, caused by an eastbound train arriving at the station while a westbound train was leaving, created a 12 mph wind through the station and up the escalator ( known as the piston effect ; this helps ventilate the tube ), adding to the speed of the fire spreading.

At approximately 2: 53 AM, Amtrak's Sunset Limited train, powered by three locomotives, and en route from Los Angeles, California to Miami, Florida with 220 passengers and crew aboard, crossed the Bayou Canot bridge at high speed and derailed at a kink in the track caused by a barge captain who rammed the bridge by making a wrong turn in the waterway, and failed to report the accident.

It was found that it caused their menstrual cycles to speed up or slow down depending on the time in the month the sweat was collected: before, during, or after ovulation.

A substantial increase is estimated in the cost of operating additional communications systems in the air defense program, as well as in all programs where speed and security of communications are essential.

Designers and manufacturers have produced models for purchasers who run the gamut from a nautical version of the elderly Pasadena lady who never drove more than five miles an hour on her once-a-month ride around the block, to the sportiest boatman who insists on all the dash, color, flair and speed possible to encompass in a single boat.

As the meter is defined in terms of the second, and the speed of light is constant for all observers, the terrestrial meter appears to change in length compared to the " planetary meter " on a periodic basis.

These variations included barrel wear, propellant temperature, different projectiles weights that all affected the muzzle velocity, and air temperature, density, wind speed & direction and rotation of the earth that affect the shell in flight.

A problem is called subsonic if all the speeds in the problem are less than the speed of sound, transonic if speeds both below and above the speed of sound are present ( normally when the characteristic speed is approximately the speed of sound ), supersonic when the characteristic flow speed is greater than the speed of sound, and hypersonic when the flow speed is much greater than the speed of sound.

It is defined as the range of speeds between the critical Mach number, when some parts of the airflow over an aircraft become supersonic, and a higher speed, typically near Mach 1. 2, when all of the airflow is supersonic.

However, it should be noted that is a somewhat spurious argument, in that speed of light limitations applies to all information, not to what can or can not be subsequently done with the information.

If the glass is damaged, atmospheric pressure can collapse the vacuum tube into dangerous fragments which accelerate inward and then spray at high speed in all directions.

The final form of the solid is determined by the conditions under which the fluid is being solidified, such as the chemistry of the fluid, the ambient pressure, the temperature, and the speed with which all these parameters are changing.

The original System / 360 models of IBM mainframe had read-only control store, but later System / 360, System / 370 and successor models loaded part or all of their microprograms from floppy disks or other DASD into a writable control store consisting of ultra-high speed random-access read-write memory.

Columba then saves a swimmer from the monster with the sign of the Cross and the imprecation, " Thou shalt go no further, nor touch the man ; go back with all speed.

Communication was controlled by the CPU, which had read and written data from the devices as if they are blocks of memory, using the same instructions, all timed by a central clock controlling the speed of the CPU.

The features that make the diffusion pump attractive for high and ultra-high vacuum use are its high pumping speed for all gases and low cost per unit pumping speed when compared with other types of pump used in the same vacuum range.

Manufacturing variances means that not all Dragons are able to function at this higher speed, and use of this POKE can cause some units to crash or run highly unstable, though with no permanent damage.

* 1965 – In the United Kingdom, a 70 mph speed limit is applied to all rural roads including motorways for the first time.

If all layers of an image change regularly but a large number of layer still need to be composited ( such as in distributed rendering ), the commutativity of a compositing operator can still be exploited to speed up computation through parallelism even when there is no gain from pre-computation.

The new design used most of the basic PRISM concepts, but was re-tuned to allow VMS and VMS programs to run at reasonable speed with no conversion at all.
