It was developed by Tony Brooker and Derrick Morris as a variant of the ALGOL programming language, removing some Algol features such as " passing parameters by name " ( which in Algol 60 means passing the address of a short subroutine to recalculate the parameter each time it was mentioned ).

In the parameterized post-Newtonian formalism ( PPN ), measurements of both the deflection of light and the gravitational time delay determine a parameter called γ, which encodes the influence of gravity on the geometry of space.

The framework presented so far singles out time as the parameter that everything depends on.

At the classical level, it is possible to arbitrarily parameterize the trajectories of particles in terms of an unphysical parameter s, and in that case the time t becomes an additional generalized coordinate of the physical system.

Another major experimental parameter is whether nuclear decay products ( gamma rays or particles ) are measured during neutron irradiation ( prompt gamma ), or at some time after irradiation ( delayed gamma ).

The term " polynomial " can also be used as an adjective, for quantities that can be expressed as a polynomial of some parameter, as in polynomial time, which is used in computational complexity theory.

While the moment in time at which a particular nucleus decays is unpredictable, a collection of atoms of a radioactive nuclide decays exponentially at a rate described by a parameter known as the half-life, usually given in units of years when discussing dating techniques.

We said that God exists eternally, and that " eternal " has two different interpretations, meaning either existing timelessly or existing endlessly along the extensively proportioned parameter of infinite time.

In cosmology, solving for the history of the universe is done by calculating R as a function of time, given k and the value of the cosmological constant Λ, which is a ( small ) parameter in Einstein's field equations.

In telecommunication, an artificial transmission line ( art line ) is a four-terminal electrical network that has the characteristic impedance, transmission time delay, phase shift, or other parameter ( s ) of a real transmission line.

Very often, just one parameter is used to denote the severity of multipath conditions: it is called the multipath time,, and it is defined as the time delay existing between the first and the last received impulses

In this approach, a voltage or current waveform takes the form, where t is time, s is a complex parameter, and A is a complex scalar.

There are 3 fundamental physical units in this equation: time t, mass m, and length l, and 4 dimensional variables, T, M, L, and g. Thus we need only 4 − 3 = 1 dimensionless parameter, denoted π, and the model can be re-expressed as

It may not always be clear whether a particular interpretation is deterministic or not, as there may not be a clear choice of a time parameter.

As expected, as the time constant increases, the discrete-time smoothing parameter decreases, and the output samples respond more slowly to a change in the input samples ; the system will have more inertia.

The expression for parameter yields the equivalent time constant in terms of the sampling period and:

By the relationship between parameter α and time constant above, a large α corresponds to a large and therefore a low corner frequency of the filter.

By the relationship between parameter α and time constant above, a small α corresponds to a small and therefore a high corner frequency of the filter.

Taking the time s as the parameter for C, this provides a natural parametrization for the curve.

; Quality: Speex encoding is controlled most of the time by a quality parameter that ranges from 0 to 10.

By using time as a parameter in geometry, mathematicians have developed a science of kinematic geometry.

For this, a phosphor coating is applied to a surface of interest and, usually, the decay time is the emission parameter that indicates temperature.

* storing the instances in a map, so you get the same instance the next time you ask for an instance with same parameter ( Multiton pattern, similar to the singleton pattern )

I seized the rack and made a western-style flying-mount just in time, one of my knees mercifully landing on my duffel bag -- and merely wrecking my camera, I was to discover later -- my other knee landing on the slivery truck floor boards and -- but this is no medical report.

And all the time, she had the heat of hatred in her, like charcoal that is burning on its under side, but not visibly.

`` I realize that this is hardly the time to say it, Penny '', said Keith.

But there is no use causing him to worry at this time ''.

It is almost time for and calinda to begin ''.

It is one of the ironic quirks of history that the viability and usefulness of nationalism and the territorial state are rapidly dissipating at precisely the time that the nation-state attained its highest number ( approximately 100 ).

There is little time for the men in the command centers to reflect about the implications of these clocks.

The other variables include the dancer who is to perform the movement and the length of time he is to take in its performance.

At the same time, he is plainly sympathetic, clearly friendly.

The consciousness it mirrors may have come earlier to Europe than to America, but it is the consciousness that most `` mature '' societies arrive at when their successes in technological and economic systematization propel them into a time of examining the not-strictly-practical ends of culture.

As Lipton puts it: `` The Eros is felt in the magic circle of marijuana with far greater force, as a unifying principle in human relationships, than at any other time except, perhaps, in the mutual metaphysical orgasms.

How is the beat poet to achieve unity of form when he is at the same time engaged in a systematic derangement of senses.

But he plunges into yet another, this time with Norway, and is killed in an assault on the fortress of Fredrikshall, being only thirty-six years of age when he died.

At the same time, because the personal code of the detective coincides with the legal dictates of his society, because he likes to catch criminals, he is in middle class eyes a virtuous man.

For example, suppose a man wearing a $200 watch, driving a 1959 Rolls Royce, stops to ask a man on the sidewalk, `` What time is it ''??

That is to say Gabriel's fundamental law had been so much modified by this time that it was neither fundamental nor law any more.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

His sailing vessel is guided by fate to the shores of his own country at a time when Sibylla's domain is overrun by the armies of one of her rejected suitors.

It is notable that at this time he was writing with admiration of Cimabue's and Poussin's way of filling space.

His denials of extensive reading notwithstanding, it is no doubt safe to assume that he has spent time schooling himself in Southern history and that he has gained some acquaintance with the chief literary authors who have lived in the South or have written about the South.

He is a dreamer of the good society with a plan to put into effect, and he is an individual craftsman with something to make for himself and the people of his time.
