" San sagari ," which means " lowered three " or " lowered third " refers to tuning the shamisen to honchoshi and lowering the 3rd string ( the string with the highest pitch ) down a whole step, so that now the instrument is tuned in fourths, e. g. D, G, C.

The latter means basic or radical change ; whereas reform may be no more than fine tuning, or at most redressing serious wrongs without altering the fundamentals of the system.

" Char siu " literally means " fork burn / roast " ( Char being fork ( both noun and verb ) and siu being burn / roast ) after the traditional cooking method for the dish: long strips of seasoned boneless pork are skewered with long forks and placed in a covered oven or over a fire.

Basically, this means that if you track the crystal orientation around the line defect, you get a rotation.

The Prize was awarded to Sir William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg " for their services in the analysis of crystal structure by means of X-rays ".

Crystals below 30 MHz are generally operated between series and parallel resonance, which means that the crystal appears as an inductive reactance in operation.

Crystal-gazing ( also known as crystal-seeing, crystalism, crystallomancy, gastromancy, and spheromancy ) is a form of divination or scrying achieved through trance induction by means of gazing at a crystal.

The stereotypical image of a gypsy woman wearing a headscarf and telling fortunes for her clients by means of a very large crystal ball is widely depicted in the media and can be found in hundreds of popular books, advertising pages, and films of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

This means that chemical weathering transforms the crystals of pyrite into limonite by hydrating the molecules, but the external shape of the pyrite crystal remains.

LDPE has a high degree of short and long chain branching, which means that the chains do not pack into the crystal structure as well.

Austenitization means to heat the iron, iron-based metal, or steel to a temperature at which it changes crystal structure from ferrite to austenite.

This means that many graphics cards cannot express the native resolutions of the most common wide screen flat panel displays and liquid crystal display televisions.

The greater scattering power of protons and deuterons means that the position of hydrogen in a crystal and its thermal motions can be determined with greater precision by neutron diffraction.

Sugar bleached white by this means is called mill white, plantation white, and crystal sugar.

In fact, the Bloch theorem is a direct consequence of the translational symmetry of crystals, which means that the crystal is invariant under a translational movement of the form, where are integers and are the primitive lattice vectors.

It is also possible to measure the delay between the envelopes of two short optical pulses by means of cross correlation in a nonlinear crystal.

A large number can be anywhere from 3 to infinity ( in the case of a practically infinite, homogeneous or periodic system, such as a crystal ), although three-and four-body systems can be treated by specific means ( respectively the Faddeev and Faddeev-Yakubovsky equations ) and are thus sometimes separately classified as few-body systems.

This diode grid can be imaged onto the crystal by means of a lens.

Rumours among his associates ( somewhat confirmed in the GURPS Discworld RPG sourcebook co-written by Pratchett ) imply that the glass eye is in fact a scrying crystal, which might go some way towards explaining his abilities but also means that he implanted notoriously erratic Discworld magic into his own eye-socket.

This can be done by means of lenses, which also refocus the beams to have the beam waist in the crystal.
