These and other works raised his reputation so high that the most flattering offers were sent to him from the Russian court to induce him to remove to St Petersburg, but these were declined, although many of his finest works made their way to the Hermitage Museum.

These spectrometers use a compact double monochromator with a prism pre-monochromator and an echelle grating monochromator for high resolution.

These persons are then made up, and in some cases altered to look like the target, with the body double then taking the place of the person in high risk situations.

These were due to an enormous amount of exceedingly fine dust blown to a great height by the volcano's explosion, and then globally diffused by the high atmospheric currents.

These bicycles were difficult to ride due to their high seat and poor weight distribution.

These are processes which create compound nuclei at high excitation energy (~ 40-50 MeV, hence " hot "), leading to a reduced probability of survival from fission and quasi-fission.

These high-priority agents pose a risk to national security, can be easily transmitted and disseminated, result in high mortality, have potential major public health impact, may cause public panic, or require special action for public health preparedness.

These pressure oscillations can be as high as 180 dB, and long term exposure to these cyclic pressure and thermal loads reduces the life of engine components.

These are incandescent regions of the electrode surface that are created by a localized high current flow.

These small electron-emitting regions can form quite rapidly, even explosively, on a metal surface subjected to a high electrical field.

These and other policies made socialism seem less desirable to the average German family, and propelled Bismarck to high renown during his lifetime.

These large litters act as compensatory measures against the high juvenile mortality rate – about 50 – 70 % of pups do not survive to adulthood.

These vehicles have greater high speed mobility than traditional heavy equipment and are protected against the effects of blast and fragmentation.

These notes are far apart for most of the instrument's range, making diatonic and chromatic playing impossible except in the extreme high register.

These crankshafts tend to be very expensive due to the large amount of material that must be removed with lathes and milling machines, the high material cost, and the additional heat treatment required.

These ideas were adopted and adapted in western Europe to the high risks and rewards associated with colonial ventures.

These companies offer both English-and Spanish-language television, plus a range of channels in other languages, high definition channels, pay-per-view movies and events, sports packages and premium movie channels such as HBO, Playboy TV, Cinecanal, etc.

These versions allowed 25 modules be to inserted into a single 5-1 / 4 inch section of racking, and allowed the high densities needed to build a computer.

These theories are criticized by those who fear an evolution of liberal democracies to post-democracy, and others who point out the high number of illiberal democracies.

These are small lagoons off of the main lagoon, filled with seawater at high tide and dry at low tide.

These frequencies are amplified and detected by the FM receiver after each burst of transmitted energy and, after the `` pill '' has been calibrated, precise internal pressure indications can be obtained.

These devices convert a sound pressure wave to or from an electric signal.

These return waves create the dicrotic notch displayed in the aortic pressure curve during the cardiac cycle as these reflected waves push on the aortic semilunar valve.

These fish can still, however, find their way around by means of their lateral lines, which are highly sensitive to fluctuating water pressure.

These may involve a combination of chemical processes, erosion from water, tectonic forces, microorganisms, pressure, atmospheric influences, and even digging.

These tubes didn't need gas in them to work, so they were evacuated to a lower pressure, around 10 < sup >− 9 </ sup > atm ( 10 < sup >− 4 </ sup > P ).

These barrels are proof marked and meant to be used with light pressure loads.

These are usually an infrared curtain or beam, but can be a pressure mat fitted on the swing side of the door.

These included strikes against leading Jordanian politicians, as a means of exacting vengeance and raising the price for attacking the Palestinian movement ; and also, most controversially, for " international operations " ( e. g. the Munich Olympics attack ), intended both to put pressure on the US, European countries and Israel, and to raise the visibility of the Palestinian cause, and to upstage radical rivals such as the PFLP.

These studies can also give useful information about pathways for metamorphism through pressure, temperature, space, and time.

These structures are somewhat analogous to high-and low-pressure cells in Earth's atmosphere, but they have a very different structure — latitudinal bands that circle the entire planet, as opposed to small confined cells of pressure.

These " golden " exports were supported by more than US $ 40 million of specialized banana company investment in the Honduran infrastructure and were safeguarded by United States pressure on the national government when the companies felt threatened.

These common tactics include: rational persuasion, inspirational appeal, consultation, ingratiation, exchange, personal appeal, coalition, legitimating, and pressure.

These include sphingosine-1-phosphate, a sphingolipid derived from ceramide that is a potent messenger molecule involved in regulating calcium mobilization, cell growth, and apoptosis ; diacylglycerol ( DAG ) and the phosphatidylinositol phosphates ( PIPs ), involved in calcium-mediated activation of protein kinase C ; the prostaglandins, which are one type of fatty-acid derived eicosanoid involved in inflammation and immunity ; the steroid hormones such as estrogen, testosterone and cortisol, which modulate a host of functions such as reproduction, metabolism and blood pressure ; and the oxysterols such as 25-hydroxy-cholesterol that are liver X receptor agonists.

These various impurities have been mobilized and recrystallized by the intense pressure and heat of the metamorphism.

These devices use the sealed chamber as a reference pressure and are driven by the external pressure.

These disturbances propagate from their source as longitudinal pressure variations along the path of propagation.

:: These reactors use a pressure vessel to contain the nuclear fuel, control rods, moderator, and coolant.

These reactors can function much like a PWR in terms of efficiency, and do not require much high pressure containment, as the liquid metal does not need to be kept at high pressure, even at very high temperatures.

These features are the features typical of a shotgun shell, namely a relatively short, wide cartridge, with straight walls, and operating at a relatively low pressure.

These turbines exhaust steam in a partially condensed state, typically of a quality near 90 %, at a pressure well below atmospheric to a condenser.
