One growth center in a short bone -- distal phalanx of the second finger -- was chosen as an example for discussion here, primarily because epiphyseal-diaphyseal fusion, the maturity indicator for Completion in long and short bones, occurs in this center for girls near the menarche and for boys near their comparable pubescent stage.

This case is also used for nouns in several other senses, e. g., where the action occurs " because of " or " without " a certain noun ; nouns indicating distance or direction.

Often deposition occurs a considerable distance downwind of the emissions, with mountainous regions tending to receive the greatest deposition ( simply because of their higher rainfall ).

Fractional bandwidth is used for wideband antennas because of the compression of the percent bandwidth that occurs mathematically with percent bandwidths above 100 %, which corresponds to a fractional bandwidth of 3: 1.

In men, the mammary glands are also present in the body, but normally remain undeveloped because of the hormone testosterone, however, when male lactation occurs, it is considered a pathological symptom of a disorder of the pituitary gland.

The voice is produced by castration of the singer before puberty, or it occurs in one who, because of an endocrinological condition, never reaches sexual maturity.

This occurs because some surface orientations are more stable than others ( lower surface energy ).

In contrast to the E1 eliminations, different stereochemical configurations are possible for the reaction product in the E2 mechanism, because the attack of the base preferentially occurs in the anti-position with respect to the leaving group.

With a rigid mechanical linkage, smooth engagement would be near-impossible because engine movement inevitably occurs as the drive is " taken up.

This occurs because internal combustion engines are heat engines, and higher efficiency is created because higher compression ratios permit the same combustion temperature to be reached with less fuel, while giving a longer expansion cycle, creating more mechanical power output and lowering the exhaust temperature.

It usually occurs unnoticed because it is symptom-free or exhibits only mild symptoms that are not unique to Chagas disease.

The authors said that this occurs because they were built to local regulations that required specific features, but freed the architect to adapt them to particular situations.

Diamagnetism is believed to be due to quantum mechanics ( and is understood in terms of Landau levels ) and occurs because the external field alters the orbital velocity of electrons around their nuclei, thus changing the magnetic dipole moment.

Overlap occurs between these usages because deities or godlike entities are often identical with and / or identified by the powers and forces that are credited to them — in many cases a deity is merely a power or force personified — and these powers and forces may then be extended or granted to mortal individuals.

A bubble occurs when speculators note the fast increase in value and decide to buy in anticipation of further rises, rather than because the shares are undervalued.

In different Indo-European languages, each of these words has a difficult etymology because of taboo deformations — a euphemism was substituted for the original, which no longer occurs in the language.

Low atmospheric pressure tends to occur over warm water and high pressure occurs over cold water, in part because of deep convection over the warm water.

An early recorded mention of the term " El Niño " to refer to climate occurs in 1892, when Captain Camilo Carrillo told the Geographical society congress in Lima that Peruvian sailors named the warm northerly current " El Niño " because it was most noticeable around Christmas.

This occurs because excited molecules usually decay to the lowest vibrational level of the excited state before fluorescence emission takes place.

This phenomenon occurs because voiced fricatives have developed from lenition of plosives or fortition of approximants.

Movement along faults can result in folding, either because the faults are not planar, or because the rock layers are dragged along, forming drag folds, as slip occurs are along the fault.

This happens due to inert pair effect, which occurs because of stabilization of 5s-orbital due to relativistic effects, which are stronger closer to the bottom of the periodic table.

This occurs because the " valence " band containing the highest energy electrons is full, and a large energy gap separates this band from the next band above it.

The concept occurs when a unit of meaning can vary in sound without changing meaning.

Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as visible light, X-rays and radio waves.

Consonance occurs where a consonant sound is repeated throughout a sentence without putting the sound only at the front of a word.

Redshifts are attributable to the Doppler effect, familiar in the changes in the apparent pitches of sirens and frequency of the sound waves emitted by speeding vehicles ; an observed redshift due to the Doppler effect occurs whenever a light source moves away from an observer.

Some dialogue occurs between Hermóðr and Móðguðr, including that Móðguðr notes that recently there had ridden five battalions of dead men across the bridge that made less sound than he.

* Repetition occurs when a unit of speech, such as a sound, syllable, word, or phrase is repeated and are typical in children who are beginning to stutter.

Sound changes can be environmentally conditioned, meaning that the change in question only occurs in a defined sound environment, whereas in other environments the same speech sound is not affected by the change.

Technically speaking, no amplification occurs, because all of the energy to produce sound comes from the vibrating string.

A " toilet flushing " sound is heard, and the first YCDTOTV sliming occurs.

The name first occurs in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae ( c. 1136, in Latin ) as Tintagol, implying pronunciation with a hard sound as in modern English girl.

Second sound is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which heat transfer occurs by wave-like motion, rather than by the more usual mechanism of diffusion.

Also, even though digital effects such as digital reverb may be a more accurate recreation of the reverb that occurs in a cathedral or large space, analog reverb has a distinctive sound that is associated with 1970s and 1980s recordings.

In most varieties of English, schwa mostly occurs in unstressed syllables ( exceptions include BrE concerted ), but in New Zealand English and South African English the high front lax vowel ( as in the word bit ) has shifted open and back to sound like schwa, and these dialects include both stressed and unstressed schwas.

At the region where this occurs sound waves traveling against the flow reach a point where they cannot travel any further upstream and the pressure progressively builds in that region, and a high pressure shock wave rapidly forms.

This downwind refraction effect occurs because there is a wind gradient ; the sound is not being carried along by the wind.

The same root occurs in a number of other Slavic toponyms ; it is probably onomatopeic, imitating the sound of running water-murmur ( Šepot ).

' Lah ' also occurs frequently with " Yah " and " No " ( hence " Yah lah " and " No lah "), resulting in a less brusque sound, thus facilitating the flow of conversation.

Sampi occurs in positions where other dialects, including written Ionic, normally have double sigma (), i. e. a long / ss / sound.

Audio feedback or acoustic feedback, often referred to simply as " feedback ", ( also known as the Larsen effect after the Danish scientist, Søren Absalon Larsen, who first discovered its principles ) is a special kind of positive feedback which occurs when a sound loop exists between an audio input ( for example, a microphone or guitar pickup ) and an audio output ( for example, a loudspeaker ).

The sound engineer can increase the level of a microphone or guitar pickup until feedback occurs.

" after-sound ") is a sound that occurs as an allophone of / m / – at a morpheme boundary, or / n / – morpheme-internally, if they are preceded by a vowel and followed by a fricative ().

This is a natural sound phenomenon of up to 105 decibels, lasting as long as several minutes, that occurs in about 35 desert locations around the world.
