A mushroom anchor will normally sink in the silt to the point where it has displaced its own weight in bottom material, thus greatly increasing its holding power.

The disadvantage of using deadweight anchors in conditions where a mushroom anchor could be used is that it needs to be around ten times the weight of the equivalent mushroom anchor.

The concentrations of psilocin and psilocybin, determined by high-performance liquid chromatography, were determined to be in the range of 0. 14 – 0. 42 %/ 0. 37 – 1. 30 % ( dry weight ) in the whole mushroom, 0. 17 – 0. 78 %/ 0. 44 – 1. 35 % in the cap and 0. 09 – 0. 30 %/ 0. 05 – 1. 27 % in the stem.

A copper-plated hollowpoint loaded in a. 44 Magnum, for example, with an original weight of 240 grains ( 15. 55 g ) and a diameter of 0. 43 inch ( 11 mm ) might mushroom on impact to form a rough circle with a diameter of 0. 70 inch ( 18 mm ) and a final weight of 239 grains ( 15. 48 g ).

Dosage of mushrooms containing psilocybin depends on the potency of the mushroom ( the total psilocybin and psilocin content of the mushrooms ), which varies significantly both between species and within the same species, but is typically around 0. 5 – 2 % of the dried weight of the mushroom.

In 1993, Gartz reported an average of 1 % psilocybin ( expressed as a percentage of the dry weight of the fruit bodies ), ranging from a minimum of 0. 2 % to a maximum of 2. 37 %, which is the highest psilocybin concentration reported for a mushroom.

The concentration of the compound was highly variable in the samples tested, but in one case was as high as 146 micrograms per gram of mushroom ( wet weight ).

Its light weight and compact flat design make it easy to retrieve and relatively easy to store ; some anchor rollers and hawsepipes can accommodate a fluke-style anchor.

* The German-designed bow anchor, Bügelanker ( or Wasi ), has a sharp tip for penetrating weed, and features a roll-bar which allows the correct setting attitude to be achieved without the need for extra weight to be inserted into the tip.

The holding power of this anchor is at best about twice its weight until it becomes buried, when it can be as much as ten times its weight.

This is an anchor which relies solely on being a heavy weight.

Lowering a concentrated, heavy weight down the anchor line – rope or chain – directly in front of the bow to the seabed, behaves like a heavy chain rode and lowers the angle of pull on the anchor.

If the weight is suspended off the seabed it acts as a spring or shock absorber to dampen the sudden actions that are normally transmitted to the anchor and can cause it to dislodge and drag.

Known as a " anchor chum weight " or " angel " in the UK.

The main losses are in weight and installation cost, but on the bigger cruising boats that may sit at anchor running large diesels for hours every day, these are not too big an issue, compared to the savings that can be made at other times.

Even a dinghy should have a length of chain attached to the anchor-the same length as the dinghy. The warp then attaches to the short chain with awired shackle. This gives added weight and help in setting an anchor. It also stops the warp fraying on sharp rocks when the dinghy swings to and fro with the tide.

The bridge has only one pier on the northern bank but two piers on the lower southern bank, one to bear the weight ( the main pier ) and, further to the south, one to prevent the bridge from twisting ( the anchor pier ).

* Multiple anchor mooring systems use two or more ( often three ) light weight temporary-style anchors set in an equilateral arrangement and all chained to a common center from which a conventional rode extends to a mooring buoy.

; < span id =" anchor "> Anchor </ span >: An arrangement of one or ( usually ) more pieces of gear set up to support the weight of a belay or top rope.

The weight of guys and insulators used to anchor the mast was 80 metric tons.

Its purpose is to support the weight of the anchor and keep the anchor secure and outboard of the hull to avoid damaging the hull planking.

Heavy bookends have been used for centuries ; the simple sheetmetal bookend was originally patented in the 1870s, and uses the weight of the books themselves to make an anchor.

A temporary arm, holding the fifth anchor span, was deemed too light to bear the weight .< ref >

Linings also provide an immediate aesthetic purpose by adding to the drapeability of the fabric ; added weight helps to anchor the drape and creates a more full and luxurious window treatment.

Considering the relative weight given to causes of the Civil War by contemporary actors, historians such as Chandra Manning argue that both Union and Confederate fighting soldiers believed slavery to be the cause of the Civil War.

A number of harmful and undesired ( adverse ) effects have been observed, including lowered life expectancy, extrapyramidal effects on motor control – including akathisia ( an inability to sit still ), trembling, and muscle weakness – weight gain, decrease in brain volume ( although this is being debated, since schizophrenia, which is often treated with antipsychotics, also causes a shrinkage of brain volume ), enlarged breasts ( gynecomastia ) in men and milk discharge in men and women ( galactorrhea due to hyperprolactinaemia ), lowered white blood cell count ( agranulocytosis ), involuntary repetitive body movements ( tardive dyskinesia ), diabetes, sexual dysfunction, a return of psychosis requiring increasing the dosage due to cells producing more neurochemicals to compensate for the drugs ( tardive psychosis ), and a potential for permanent chemical dependence leading to psychosis worse than before treatment began, if the drug dosage is ever lowered or stopped ( tardive dysphrenia ).

The Earth ’ s gravitational field causes items near the Earth to have weight.

Extra weight in pail pulls cord ( I ), which opens and lights automatic lighter ( J ), setting off skyrocket ( K ), which causes sickle ( L ) to cut string ( M ) and allow the pendulum with the attached napkin to swing back and forth, thereby wiping chin.

Gravitation is most familiar as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped.

This causes the mallet to start vibrating with the bar, adding its weight to the system and slowing the vibration.

The main causes included such aspects as " touch " and " braking " with the lesser causes including highly granular factors such as " 50 / 50 weight distribution " and " able to rest elbow on top of driver's door ".

Research has so far failed to determine what causes it, but the weight of evidence is tentatively leaning towards CCD being a syndrome rather than a disease as it seems to be caused by a combination of various contributing factors rather than a single pathogen or poison.

For instance, Seiko's Kinetic powered quartz watches make use of the motion of the wearer's arm turning a rotating weight which causes a tiny generator to supply power to charge a rechargeable battery that runs the watch.

" By the end of that episode, Fit Tony's weight gain causes a change of nickname to " Fat Tony ", essentially restoring the original character.

Among the multiple causes, however, are the mechanical causes which include: poison, improper heavy weight lifting, hard coughing bouts, sharp blows to the abdomen, tight clothing and incorrect posture.

Slugs are stabilized in flight by rifling in the barrel, which causes the slug to spin, or are stabilized as a dart is by the weight center of balance being forward of the aerodynamic center of balance, sometimes with assistance from fins.

The erect posture causes the weight of the abdominal contents to thrust on the pelvic floor, a complex structure which must not only support this weight but allow three channels to pass through it: the urethra, the vagina and the rectum.

" Other symptoms include hyperhidrosis ( excess sweating ), telangiectasia ( dilation of capillaries ), thinning of the skin ( which causes easy bruising and dryness, particularly the hands ) and other mucous membranes, purple or red striae ( the weight gain in Cushing's syndrome stretches the skin, which is thin and weakened, causing it to hemorrhage ) on the trunk, buttocks, arms, legs or breasts, proximal muscle weakness ( hips, shoulders ), and hirsutism ( facial male-pattern hair growth ), baldness and / or extremely dry and brittle hair.

In most games, no amount of armor causes any reduced mobility — i. e. is never experienced as a weight issue by the player.

In 2006, the Countess also lent her support to the Born in Bradford research project, which is investigating causes of low birth weight and infant mortality.

Suspension, like the short drop, causes death by using the weight of the body to tighten the trachea with the noose.
