This is an unsolved problem which probably has never been seriously investigated, although one frequently hears the comment that we have insufficient specialists of the kind who can compete with the Germans or Swiss, for example, in precision machinery and mathematics, or the Finns in geochemistry.

And this, of course, is exactly what Madison Avenue has been accused of doing albeit in a primitive way, with its `` hidden persuaders '' and what the space merchants accomplish with much greater sophistication and precision.

The Deerstalker points with the ease, speed and precision of a fine imported double shotgun, and its trigger pull is light and sharp.

My aim in mentioning this factor obviously is not to give license to `` wild therapy '' but rather to encourage us to use the time-honored clinical casework skills we already possess, and to use them with greater confidence, precision, and professional pride.

if it is somber, it is also precise, and the precision lends authority to the vision.

A precision transit is set up so that it is aligned with respect to true north.

It is worth mentioning that the Nepōhualtzintzin amounted to the rank from 10 to the 18 in floating point, which calculated stellar as well as infinitesimal amounts with absolute precision, meant that no round off was allowed, when translated into modern computer arithmetic.

This algorithm is much less prone to loss of precision due to massive cancellation, but might not be as efficient because of the division operation inside the loop.

While this loss of precision may be tolerable and viewed as a minor flaw of Algorithm I, it is easy to find data that reveal a major flaw in the naive algorithm: Take the sample to be ( 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 4, 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 7, 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 13, 10 < sup > 9 </ sup > + 16 ).

One benefit is that the statistical moment calculations can be carried out to arbitrary accuracy such that the computations can be tuned to the precision of, e. g., the data storage format or the original measurement hardware.

Antigen ( ic ) specificity is the ability of the host cells to recognize an antigen specifically as a unique molecular entity and distinguish it from another with exquisite precision.

Today automated flight control is common to reduce pilot error and workload at key times like landing or takeoff. Autopilot was first invented by Lawrence Sperry during World War II to fly bomber planes steady enough to hit precision targets from 25, 000 feet.

Premultiplied alpha has some practical advantages over normal alpha blending because premultiplied alpha blending is associative and linear interpolation gives better results, although premultiplication can cause a loss of precision and, in extreme cases, a noticeable loss of quality.

Therefore, due to impossibility for precision, there is confusion about what interpretations can be culturally negotiated.

Abbe numbers are only a useful measure of dispersion for visible light, and for other wavelengths, or for higher precision work, the group velocity dispersion is used.

Each tip of the " Y " of an antibody contains a paratope ( a structure analogous to a lock ) that is specific for one particular epitope ( similarly analogous to a key ) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision.

Analytical chemistry research is largely driven by performance ( sensitivity, selectivity, robustness, linear range, accuracy, precision, and speed ), and cost ( purchase, operation, training, time, and space ).

This precision is not built-in, but learned by trial and error.

The evolution of baseball from older bat-and-ball games is difficult to trace with precision.

The exact splitting algorithm is implementation dependent, only the flatness criteria must be respected to reach the necessary precision and to avoid non-monotonic local changes of curvature.

This is inefficient as there exists also approximations of all Bézier curves using arcs of circles or ellipses, which can be rendered incrementally with arbitrary precision.

Related to number representation is the size and precision of numbers that a CPU can represent.

The number of bits ( or numeral places ) a CPU uses to represent numbers is often called " word size ", " bit width ", " data path width ", or " integer precision " when dealing with strictly integer numbers ( as opposed to floating point ).

) The concept of nationalism is the political principle that epitomizes and glorifies the territorial state as the characteristic type of socal structure.

It only means that there will be new form, and that this form will be of such a type that it admits the chaos and does not try to say that the chaos is really something else.

His name is Praisegod Piepsam, and he is rather fully described as to his clothing and physiognomy in a way which relates him to a sinister type in the author's repertory -- he is a forerunner of those enigmatic strangers in `` Death In Venice '', for example, who represent some combination of cadaver, exotic, and psychopomp.

The hero, who is himself, is represented as a pilgrim in the storied lands of the East, a sort of Faustus type, who, to quote from Professor Book again, `` even in the pleasure gardens of Sardanapalus can not cease from his painful search after the meaning of life.

But because it is the function of the mind to turn the one into the other by means of the capacities with which words endow it, we do not unwisely examine the type of distinction, in the sphere of politics, on which decisions hang.

Accordingly we may speak of the Platonism peculiar to Shelley's poems or the type of Stoicism present in Henley's `` Invictus '', and we may find that describing such Platonism or such Stoicism and contrasting each with other expressions of the same attitude or mode of thought is a difficult and challenging enterprise.

In the main stream of historical thinking is a group of scholars, H.M. Chadwick, R.H. Hodgkin, Sir Frank Stenton et al. who are in varying degrees sceptical of the native traditions of the conquest but who defend the catastrophic type of invasion suggested by them.

It is not as convenient as the old type toothbrush and the paste tends to shimmy off the bristles.

The rural land use study is being carried out under contract by the University of Rhode Island and identifies all agricultural land uses in the state by type of use.

This type of borrowing can be reduced to a minimum if quarterly installment payment of taxes is instituted and the first payment placed near the opening of the fiscal year.

It indicates the same thing but it is meant to pertain more specifically to establishments designed to cater to smaller type boats such as outboards.

Actually, the engine displacement formula is the standard formula for computing the volume of a cylinder of any type with an added factor that represents the number of cylinders in the engine.

Laguerre Hanover is outstanding in type and conformation -- good body, plenty of heart girth, stands straight on his legs on excellent feet -- and has the smoothest gait.

Fury is upstanding and on the rangy side, and Caper is more the compact type.

Torrid Adios ( Torrid-Adios Molly ) is not so masculine as most of the colts, but I like his type and he certainly is one of the best-gaited pacers on the grounds.

After notching it for the keelson, chines and battens, the half-inch plywood transom is secured to it with glue and the same type nails.

It is one of the very few, if not the only surviving bridge of its type to serve a main artery of the U.S. highway system, thus it is far more than a relic of the horse and buggy days.

New to the field is a duplex type butyrate laminate in which the two sheets of the laminate are of different color.

Still another approach to the changeable letter type of sign is a modular unit introduced by Merritt Products, Azusa, Calif..
