I was having lunch not long ago ( apologies to N. V. Peale ) with three distinguished historians ( one specializing in the European Middle Ages, one in American history, and one in the Far East ), and I asked them if they could name instances where the general mores had been radically changed with `` deliberate speed, majestic instancy '' ( Francis Thompson's words for the Hound Of Heaven's Pursuit ) by judicial fiat.

Typically, the tallest members of a team will play " center ", " power forward " or " small forward " positions, while shorter players or those who possess the best ball handling skills and speed play " point guard " or " shooting guard ".

On the other hand, battery ignition systems have almost always had a timing advance system which can set the timing to the best setting for the speed the engine is turning, improving power output and fuel efficiency.

Since all atoms vibrate proportionally to their absolute temperature, a thermal neutron has the best opportunity to fission U-235 when it is moving at this same vibrational speed.

Other algorithms can speed up a task less dramatically — for example, Grover's search algorithm which gives a quadratic speed-up over the best possible classical algorithm.

This makes ray tracing best suited for applications where the image can be rendered slowly ahead of time, such as in still images and film and television visual effects, and more poorly suited for real-time applications like video games where speed is critical.

Thus jet engines, with a better match between speed and jet exhaust speed ( such as turbofans )— in spite of their worse )— dominate for subsonic and supersonic atmospheric use, while rockets work best at hypersonic speeds.

Unprecedented in its speed of construction, the castle was mostly complete in just two years, when most construction on such a scale would have taken the best part of a decade.

The direction of the wind is ideal when reaching because it can maximize the lift generated on the sails in the forward direction of the boat, giving the best boat speed.

In day-to-day athletics, it is proper to say that a teenager can achieve at least 20 km / h ( or 12. 43 mph ) of speed while a best runner can achieve 30 km / h ( or 18. 64 mph ) which is similar to running 100 metres in about 12 seconds.

Air is not always the best test medium to study small-scale aerodynamic principles, due to the speed of the air flow and airfoil movement.

This permitted the operator to prepare the message " off-line " at the operator's best typing speed, and permitted the operator to correct any error prior to transmission.

On the other hand, the implementation of schemes which involve the removal of sidewalks, such as shared space schemes, are reported to deliver a dramatic drop in crashes and congestion too, which indicates that a number of other factors, such as the local speed environment, also play an important role in whether sidewalks are necessarily the best local solution for pedestrian safety.

The Elco boats made the best showing with Elco edging the Huckins in light and heavy loaded speed tests ( versus ), however the Huckins had a tighter turning circle ( Huckins 336-P / 368-S yards in diameter compared to Elco 432-P / 382-S yards in diameter ) and pounding factor ( Elco pounded 61 % more than Huckins ).
