Table 1,, p. 394, shows a comparison of K factor ratings of a number of commercial insulating materials in common use, including two different types of rigid urethane foam.

More significant still is the change in the use of sacrificial language: for Paul the Eucharist is a receiving of gifts from God, the Christian sacrifice is the offering of our bodies ( Romans 12 ).< Barrett, C. K.

This style was used by other computer vendors, the CDC 7600 System Description ( 1968 ) made extensive use of K as 1024.

Instead of the banning of all vestments save the rochet ( for bishops ) and the surplice for parish clergy, it permitted ' such ornaments ... as were in use ... in the second year of K. Edward VI '.

However, the use of data from coral fossils to support K – Pg extinction and subsequent Paleocene recovery must be weighed against the changes that occurred in coral ecosystems through the K – T boundary.

Due to the wholesale destruction of plants at the K – T boundary there was a proliferation of saprotrophic organisms such as fungi that do not require photosynthesis and use nutrients from decaying vegetation.

Carabiners are marked on the side with single letters showing their intended area of use, for example, K ( via ferrata ), B ( base ), and H ( for belaying with an Italian or Munter hitch ).

So-called high-temperature superconducting compounds can be made to superconduct with the use of liquid nitrogen which boils at around 77 K.

" Cold " reactive dyes, such as Procion MX, Cibacron F, and Drimarene K, are very easy to use because the dye can be applied at room temperature.

Absolute temperature refers to use of the Kelvin ( K ) or Rankine (° R ) temperature scales, with zero being absolute zero.

Before the widespread use of non-linear editing systems, the initial editing of all films was done with a positive copy of the film negative called a film workprint ( cutting copy in UK ) by physically cutting and pasting together pieces of film, using a splicer and threading the film on a machine with a viewer such as a Moviola, or " flatbed " machine such as a K .- E .- M. or Steenbeck.

The Rankine temperature scale was created to use degree intervals the same size as those of the Fahrenheit scale, such that a temperature difference of one degree Rankine ( 1 R ) is equal to a difference of 1 ° F, except that absolute zero is 0 R – the same way that the Kelvin temperature scale matches the Celsius scale, except that absolute zero is 0 K. The Fahrenheit scale uses ( in the same manner as the later Celsius scale ) the symbol ° to denote a point on the temperature scale and the letter F to indicate the use of the Fahrenheit scale ( e. g. " Gallium melts at 85. 5763 ° F "), as well as to denote a difference between temperatures or an uncertainty in temperature ( e. g. " The output of the heat exchanger experiences an increase of 72 ° F " and " Our standard uncertainty is ± 5 ° F ").

* The incoming radiation from the Sun is mostly in the form of visible light and nearby wavelengths, largely in the range 0. 2 – 4 μm, corresponding to the Sun's radiative temperature of 6, 000 K. Almost half the radiation is in the form of " visible " light, which our eyes are adapted to use.

Some firearms manufacturers, such as those using polygonal rifling like Glock and H & K, advise against the use of cast bullets.

Some drummers even use completely mismatched hi-hats from different cymbal ranges ( Zildjian's K / Z hats ), of different manufacturers, and even of different sizes ( similar to the K Custom Session Hats where the top hat is a sixteenth of an inch smaller than the bottom ).

Higher purity levels are less common with alloys at 22 K ( 91. 6 % pure gold ), and 24 K ( 99. 9 % pure gold ) being considered too soft for jewellery use in America and Europe.

: Some writers use the tilde (~), or N, instead of ; and some use the ampersand (&), the prefixed K, or instead of.

* In J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the mandrake root is cultivated by Professor Sprout to cure the petrification of several characters who had looked indirectly into the eyes of the Basilisk ; the author makes use of the legend of the mandrake's scream ( see above ), and anyone tending mandrakes wears earmuffs to dull the sound of the scream, if the plant must be transplanted.

Author Philip K. Dick claimed to have coined this spelling in 1973, but its first recorded use appeared in a 1965 student publication at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

The software and computer industries often use binary approximations of the SI-prefixed quantities, while producers of computer storage devices prefer the SI values.

A binary clock might use Light-emitting diode | LEDs to express binary values.

* The Intel versions of Mac OS X from versions 10. 4 ( Tiger ) to 10. 6 ( Snow Leopard ) have Rosetta, a binary translation program that allows applications meant for use on PowerPC Macs to run on Apple systems that use Intel processors.

A simple way to enforce prefix-free-ness is to use machines whose means of input is a binary stream from which bits can be read one at a time.

In this work, Doppler postulated his principle ( later coined the Doppler effect ) that the observed frequency of a wave depends on the relative speed of the source and the observer, and he tried to use this concept for explaining the colour of binary stars.

This all makes it a more convenient number system for computing fractions than most other number systems in common use, such as the decimal, vigesimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal systems, although the sexagesimal system ( where the reciprocals of all 5-smooth numbers terminate ) does better in this respect ( but at the cost of an unwieldy multiplication table ).

The DirectX software development kit ( SDK ) consists of runtime libraries in redistributable binary form, along with accompanying documentation and headers for use in coding.

Some software providers also produced compilers for BASIC, and other languages, to produce binary ( or " machine ") code which would run many times faster and make better use of the small system RAM.

Most digital circuits use a binary system with two voltage levels labeled " 0 " and " 1 ".

In the following discussion, we will use a binary operation on the subsets of G: if two subsets S and T of G are given, we define their product as

File systems and software often list file sizes or free space in some mixture of SI units and binary units ; they sometimes use SI prefixes to refer to binary interpretation – that is using a label of gigabyte or GB for a number computed in terms of gibibytes ( GiB ), continuing the confusion.

In order to address this the International Electrotechnical Commission has been promoting the use of the term gibibyte for the binary definition.

Each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits ( bits ), and the primary use of hexadecimal notation is a human-friendly representation of binary-coded values in computing and digital electronics.

If the datum to be hashed is small enough, one can use the datum itself ( reinterpreted as an integer in binary notation ) as the hashed value.

For example, when mapping character strings between upper and lower case, one can use the binary encoding of each character, interpreted as an integer, to index a table that gives the alternative form of that character (" A " for " a ", " 8 " for " 8 ", etc .).

* A binary symmetric channel ( BSC ) with crossover probability p is a binary input, binary output channel that flips the input bit with probability p. The BSC has a capacity of bits per channel use, where is the binary entropy function to the base 2 logarithm:

For example, one may sort the list and use binary search, or build any efficient search data structure from it.

As a result, even though in theory other search algorithms may be faster than linear search ( for instance binary search ), in practice even on medium sized arrays ( around 100 items or less ) it might be infeasible to use anything else.

We must use common sense in applying conditions

In a sense almost all high school and college courses could be considered as vocational to the extent that later in life the student in his vocation ( which may be a profession ) will be called upon to use some of the skills developed and the competence obtained.

Housewives are finding literally hundreds of ways of getting the maximum use out of traditional designs, says Mr. Alden and they are doing it largely because Colonial craftsmen had `` an innate sense of the practical ''.

* If it is required to use a single number X as an estimate for the value of numbers, then the arithmetic mean does this best, in the sense of minimizing the sum of squares ( x < sub > i </ sub > − X )< sup > 2 </ sup > of the residuals.

The word amphibian became restricted in the taxonomical sense to what we now use around 1600, with the taxon " Amphibia " first published in scientific classification circa 1819.

The sense was extended to fossil resin circa 1400, and this became the main sense, as the use of ambergris waned.

The word autobiography was first used deprecatingly by William Taylor in 1797 in the English periodical the Monthly Review, when he suggested the word as a hybrid but condemned it as ' pedantic '; but its next recorded use was in its present sense by Robert Southey in 1809.

His last group of operas, composed for Rome, exhibit a deeper poetic feeling, a broad and dignified style of melody, a strong dramatic sense, especially in accompanied recitatives, a device which he himself had been the first to use as early as 1686 ( Olimpia vendicata ) and a much more modern style of orchestration, the horns appearing for the first time, and being treated with striking effect.

On slower or congested links ( 622 Mbit / s and below ), ATM does make sense, and for this reason most asymmetric digital subscriber line ( ADSL ) systems use ATM as an intermediate layer between the physical link layer and a Layer 2 protocol like PPP or Ethernet.

When the Roman Empire turned Christian during the following century, this imagery came to be used in a more metaphysical sense, and removed legal impediments to the development and public use of the Anno Domini dating system, which came into general use during the reign of Charlemagne.

Jonathan Swift and Henry Fielding use Abigail in this generic sense, as does Charlotte Brontë.

The Chāndogya Upaniṣad, dated to the 8th or 7th century BCE, one of the oldest Upanishads, has the earliest evidence for the use of the word ahimsa in the sense familiar in Hinduism ( a code of conduct ).

The first known use of the word ball in English in the sense of a globular body that is played with was in 1205 in in the phrase, "" The word came from the Middle English bal ( inflected as ball-e ,-es, in turn from Old Norse böllr ( pronounced ; compare Old Swedish baller, and Swedish boll ) from Proto-Germanic ballu-z, ( whence probably Middle High German bal, ball-es, Middle Dutch bal ), a cognate with Old High German ballo, pallo, Middle High German balle from Proto-Germanic * ballon ( weak masculine ), and Old High German ballâ, pallâ, Middle High German balle, Proto-Germanic * ballôn ( weak feminine ).

Adam of Bremen was the first writer to use the term Baltic in its modern sense to mean the sea of that name.

Guitarists often use dissonance — along with specific scales, intervals and chord progressions — to create a sense of dread.

The use of the definite article before the word " Christ " and its gradual development into a proper name show the Christians identified the bearer with the promised Messiah of the Jews who fulfilled all the Messianic predictions in a fuller and a higher sense than had been given them by the Rabbis.

Advocates such as Jane Jacobs argue that this enables an economically depressed region to pull itself up, by giving the people living there a medium of exchange that they can use to exchange services and locally produced goods ( In a broader sense, this is the original purpose of all money.

" It is apparent that many animals can taste, or develop a taste, for calcium, and use this sense to detect the mineral in salt licks or other sources.

Although originally designed to assess sense of community in neighborhoods, the index has been adapted for use in schools, the workplace, and a variety of types of communities.

The use of the chamada can result in a highly developed sense of awareness and helps practitioners learn the subtleties of anticipating another person's hidden intentions.

In particular, the other minds reply argues that we can't use our experience of consciousness to answer questions about other minds ( even the mind of a computer ), and the epiphenomena reply argues that Searle's consciousness does not " exist " in the sense that Searle thinks it does.

But telegraph operators were already using typewriters with QWERTY keyboards to " copy " received messages, and at the time it made more sense to build a typewriter that could generate the codes automatically, rather than making them learn to use a new input device.
