A serving of İskender kebap contains thin and wide strips of meat, on the other hand döner kebap has smaller pieces of meat.

Non-centralism has been of particular importance to ethical naturalists in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as part of their argument that normativity is a non-excisable aspect of language and that there is no way of analyzing thick moral concepts into a purely descriptive element attached to a thin moral evaluation, thus undermining any fundamental division between facts and norms.

It has superior electrical properties as an insulator and as a dielectric, and can support an electrostatic field while dissipating minimal energy in the form of heat ; it can be split very thin ( 0. 025 to 0. 125 millimeters or thinner ) while maintaining its electrical properties, has a high dielectric breakdown, is thermally stable to 500 ° C, and is resistant to corona discharge.

Its major isotope < sup > 231 </ sup > Pa has a specific activity of 0. 048 Ci / gram and primarily emits alpha-particles of the energy 5 MeV, which can be stopped by a thin layer of any material.

This manifests itself almost like an " atmosphere of dust ", visible as a thin haze and blurring of distant features, and visible as a dim glow after the sun has set.

By studying the limit of the manifold for large time, Perelman proved Thurston's geometrization conjecture for any fundamental group: at large times the manifold has a thick-thin decomposition, whose thick piece has a hyperbolic structure, and whose thin piece is a graph manifold, but this extra complication is not necessary for proving just the Poincaré conjecture.

It has a thin, crisp base quite different from the thicker and softer Neapolitan style base.

Lilienthal believed that thin, curved airfoils would produce high lift and low drag.

In Kerry in the southwest of Ireland, her keen is experienced as a " low, pleasant singing "; in Tyrone in the north, as " the sound of two boards being struck together "; and on Rathlin Island as " a thin, screeching sound somewhere between the wail of a woman and the moan of an owl ".

Mysticeti have exceptionally thin, wide basilar membranes in their cochleae without stiffening agents, making their ears adapted for processing low to infrasonic frequencies.

This design gives additional gas volume, and thereby increased chance of particle interaction, but allows low energy photons to enter the gas through the thin wall.

With a blade, he would then scrape over the entire surface a thin layer of tinted white lead to act as a ground and to fill the low areas of the panel.

Combined with thin or damaged soils this causes low fertility.

* Wood stain is a type of paint that is very " thin ," that is, low in viscosity, and formulated so that the pigment penetrates the surface rather than remaining in a film on the surface.

Alpha particles are the same as a helium-4 nucleus ( two protons and two neutrons ) and travel at speeds in excess of 5 % of the speed of light, but they interact with matter very heavily, and thus at their usual velocities only penetrate a few centimeters of air, or a few millimeters of low density material ( such as the thin mica material which is specially placed in some Geiger counter tubes to allow alpha particles in ).

Drag can be minimised by an aerodynamic nose cone and by using a shape with a high ballistic coefficient ( the " classic " rocket shape — long and thin ), and by keeping the rocket's angle of attack as low as possible.

Electrostatics are inherently dipole radiators and due to the thin flexible membrane are less suited for use in enclosures to reduce low frequency cancellation as with common cone drivers.

Because humidity is low at such high altitudes, these clouds tend to be very thin.

Low, thick clouds ( such as stratocumulus ) primarily reflect incoming solar radiation, causing it to have a high albedo, whereas high, thin clouds ( such as Cirrus ) tend to transmit it to the surface but then trap outgoing infrared radiation, causing it to have low albedo.

Of the two main cloud types in this family, the prefixed genus is stratocumulus ( Sc ), a low altitude cloud of limited convection, and the non-prefixed genus is non-convective stratus ( St ) that usually forms into a comparatively thin layer.
