A tangent point Q in the C-plane occurs when C and Af are tangent to one another.

Neoteny occurs when the animal's growth rate is very low.

; Lack-of-fit error: Error that occurs when the analysis omits one or more important terms or factors from the process model.

This occurs when the various factor levels are sampled from a larger population.

When scratched with a sharp implement, an exothermic reaction occurs and white fumes are given off as metallic antimony is formed ; when rubbed with a pestle in a mortar, a strong detonation occurs.

In The Plague, a key description of Oran occurs early, when it is explained that the town is built in such a way that it " turns its back on the bay, with the result that it's impossible to see the sea, you always have to go to look for it.

A significant episode occurs near the end of part IV, when Tarrou and Rieux sit on the terrace of a house, from which they can see far into the horizon.

In analog systems, it is difficult to detect when such degradation occurs.

Adiabatic heating occurs when the pressure of a gas is increased from work done on it by its surroundings, e. g. a piston.

Adiabatic heating also occurs in the Earth's atmosphere when an air mass descends, for example, in a katabatic wind or Foehn or chinook wind flowing downhill over a mountain range.

Adiabatic cooling occurs when the pressure of a substance is decreased as it does work on its surroundings.

Generally, an assault occurs when a person directly or indirectly applies force intentionally to another person without their consent.

The second fight between Ajax and Hector occurs when the latter breaks into the Mycenaean camp, and fights with the Greeks among the ships.

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

It occurs in several allomorphs depending on its phonological environment, assimilating voicing of the previous segment or inserting a schwa when following an alveolar stop:

In Hindu astrology the equinox occurs when the Sun is 6 degrees in Pisces.

* prevent overmodulation, and minimize it when it occurs

If, conversely, tin is used to coat steel, when a breach of the coating occurs it actually accelerates oxidation of the iron.

The fracture is adhesive or interfacial when debonding occurs between the adhesive and the adherent.

Shot noise is a type of electronic noise that occurs when the finite number of particles ( such as electrons in an electronic circuit or photons in an optical device ) is small enough to give rise to statistical fluctuations in a signal.

Viral induction of apoptosis occurs when one or several cells of a living organism is infected with a virus leading to cell death.

One of the most significant differences between the adversarial system and the inquisitorial system occurs when a criminal defendant admits to the crime.

** Spherical aberration, which occurs when light rays strike a lens or mirror near its edge

** Defocus aberration, which occurs when a system is out of focus

In most amplifiers a reduction in gain takes place before hard clipping occurs ; the result is a compression effect, which ( if the amplifier is an audio amplifier ) sounds much less unpleasant to the ear.

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.

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.

The compression level that occurs is usually twice or more than a gasoline engine.

The leg compression occurs relatively slowly ( compared with the rest of the stroke ) which affords the rower a moment to " recover " ( hence the recovery nomenclature ), and allows the boat to glide through the water.

Run-length encoding ( RLE ) is a very simple form of data compression in which runs of data ( that is, sequences in which the same data value occurs in many consecutive data elements ) are stored as a single data value and count, rather than as the original run.

Since 1 dB = 20 log < sub > 10 </ sub > 1. 122, we may say, in a voltage sense, that the 1dB compression point occurs when

In a power sense ( V < sup > 2 </ sup > is a power quantity ), a factor of 0. 10875 corresponds to − 9. 636 dB, so by this approximate analysis, the 1 dB compression point occurs roughly 9. 6 dB below the TOI.

In bending, the maximum stress occurs in the outermost layers, one in tension, the other in compression.

In other words, the actual compression occurs in the latter 70 % to 80 % of the compression stroke.

The compression can take place in one or two stages ( main compression, and, sometimes, pre-compression or tamping ) and for commercial production occurs very fast ( 500 – 50 ms per tablet ).

( iii ) Liquid-surface film theory – binding occurs as a result of a thin liquid film, produced by fusion or solution, at the surface of the particles induced by the energy of compression.

Self-ignition leads to inefficiencies ( or even engine damage ) if it occurs during compression prior to the desired position of the piston in the cylinder as appropriate for valve and ignition timing.

Processes 1-2 and 3-4 do work on the system but no heat transfer occurs during adiabatic expansion and compression.

This removes the heat of compression ( i. e., the temperature rise ) that occurs in any gas when its pressure is raised or its unit mass per unit volume ( density ) is increased.

This sometimes requires a lower compression ratio be used, to allow a wider mapping of ignition timing advance before detonation occurs ( for a given fuel's octane rating ).

Despite low pressure, lymph movement occurs due to peristalsis ( propulsion of the lymph due to alternate contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle ), valves, and compression during contraction of adjacent skeletal muscle and arterial pulsation.

The compression of gas occurs by the movement of a flexible membrane, instead of an intake element.

The exhaust release point occurs earlier in the power stroke and compression earlier in the exhaust stroke.

Significant compression of hydrogen gas occurs that leads to the development of starbirth regions.

Additional maneuvers that may be abnormal in TOS include the " stick em up hand raise " for up to 3 – 5 minutes, which involves holding both hands at right angles over the head bent at the elbows, with or without opening and closing of the fingers ( a positive test occurs when the affected hand quickly becomes paler than the unaffected because of compromised blood supply ), and the " compression test ", when exerting pressure between the clavicle and medial humeral head causes radiation of pain and / or numbness into the affected arm.

By adjusting the valve timing, engine start and stop occurs almost unnoticeably at minimum compression.
