Carlson's theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for a Newton series to be unique, if it exists.

However, the choice of dimensionless parameters is not unique: Buckingham's theorem only provides a way of generating sets of dimensionless parameters, and will not choose the most ' physically meaningful '.

However, the choice of dimensionless parameters is not unique: Buckingham's theorem only provides a way of generating sets of dimensionless parameters, and will not choose the most ' physically meaningful '.

The development of submarines, for example, can be traced via underwater archaeological research, via the Hunley which was the first submarine to sink an enemy ship ( Hunley also had unique construction details not found in previous vessels and was one of the only historic warships ever raised intact ), the Resurgam II, the first powered submarine, and Holland 5, which provides insight into the development of submarines in the British Navy.

The front side of the medal provides the same profile of Alfred Nobel as depicted on the medals for Physics, Chemistry, and Literature ; its reverse side is unique to this medal.

Capitalizing on this coincidence, the town has built a Star Trek-themed tourist station ( the Tourism and Trek Station ), which provides tourist information, displays Star Trek memorabilia, provides unique photo opportunities, and allows visitors to participate in The Vulcan Space Adventure virtual reality game.

Many of these species are unique to the area, which provides highly productive foraging habitat, particularly along the shelf edge and in other nutrient-rich upwelling regions, such as the Pribilof, Zhemchug, and Pervenets canyons.

This is simply a matter of the pragmatics of naming, and of whether a naming convention provides identifiers that are unique ; and this depends on the scope given by context.

Located in the centre of Brighton, the Faculty provides a unique environment in which to study.

Despite these problems, however, the novella's length provides unique advantages ; in the introduction to a novella anthology titled Sailing to Byzantium, Robert Silverberg writes:

The inherent imprecision in attempting to restrike on exactly the same spot after a carriage return provides the same effect as the more expensive servo-based printers, with the unique side effect that as the printer ages and wears, bold text becomes bolder.

The Sequatchie Valley, which runs from northeast Alabama to east central Tennessee, provides unique and favorable flying conditions for these unpowered aircraft which are often able to fly well into northwestern Georgia and northeastern Alabama after launch.

It provides the widest access to unique audiovisual programs in French and contributes to the development of the language and the French-speaking cultures.

Paleobiogeography also helps constrain hypotheses on the timing of biogeographic events such as vicariance and geodispersal, and provides unique information on the formation of regional biotas.

The park protects a wide range of biomes, including semi-arid woodland, subalpine heath, and eucalypt forests, and provides a habitat for a range of animals, including bats, birds, wallabies, quolls, and the unique red triangle slug ( Triboniophorus graeffei ), which is known to appear after rainfall.

The Mitchell River is the largest unregulated river in Victoria and provides a unique example of riparian ecology.

Also, many audiophiles believe that class A gives the best sound quality ( for their absence of crossover distortion and reduced odd-harmonic and high-order harmonic distortion ) which provides a good market for expensive high fidelity class-A amps.

De Rerum Natura provides mechanistic explanations for phenomena such as erosion, evaporation, wind, and sound.

This unit provides a variety of real-time controllers, which can manipulate various sound design parameters of computer-based or standalone hardware instruments, effects, mixers and recording devices.

The General MIDI ( GM ) standard was established in 1991, and provides a standardized sound bank that allows a Standard MIDI File created on one device to sound similar when played back on another.

Edison's early patents show that he also considered the idea that sound could be recorded as a spiral onto a disc, but Edison concentrated his efforts on cylinders, since the groove on the outside of a rotating cylinder provides a constant velocity to the stylus in the groove, which Edison considered more " scientifically correct ".

In response to Ali G's perceived ignorance, Boutros-Ghali provides a detailed explanation about why Disneyland is not represented in the United Nations, and reveals which foreign languages sound comical to his ear.

What really happens is that the sounding board of the instrument provides a larger surface area to create sound waves than that of the string.

An alternative, which provides good quality sound without inductors ( which are prone to parasitic coupling, are expensive, and may have significant internal resistance ) is to employ bi-amplification with active RC filters or active digital filters with separate power amplifiers for each loudspeaker.

* the sound changes are often intricate, and a large number of consonants and sibilant contrasts provides further complexity ;

During the summer, the running water provides natural cooling of the air, and offers a pleasant gurgling sound.

Guitarists in the rock, blues, jazz and bluegrass genres tend to use a plectrum, partly because the use of steel strings tends to wear out the fingernails quickly, and also because a plectrum provides a more ' focused ' and ' aggressive ' sound.

However, his mysterious death in circumstances not totally explainable, provides sound elements to question if he was not murdered instead.

Some audiophiles believe that the technology of the highest quality cassette decks, due to their analog nature, provides sound recordings superior to current digital technology, such as Minidisc, CD-R and DAT.

The awareness signal it provides is a sound which comes on quietly and gradually gets louder until the clenching incident stops, or until a maximum volume level ( set by the user ) is reached.

It is provides usually an ongoing pulse, damping the tone on the first second and fourth while opening the hand on the third beat to let most frequencies sound.

For example, many modern soundcards or built-in sound chips don't have a " master volume " control ; for these devices, the user space library instead provides a software volume control using the " softvol " plugin, and ordinary application software need not care whether such a control is implemented by actual underlying hardware or software emulation of such underlying hardware.

The term also sometimes refers to the software in a Unix kernel that provides the OSS interface ; it can be thought of as a device driver, or a collection of device drivers for sound controller hardware.

On the other hand, some claim that OSS is better documented than ALSA and its API is simpler and easier to use, and suggest OSS provides better sound quality.

Often when filming on video, the sound recordist may record audio directly onto the camera rather than use a separate medium, although a separate copy is often made, as it both provides an extra copy which may have more tracks and also may include other sound captured without the camera.

Benefits from virtual world technology such as photo realistic avatars and positional sound create an atmosphere for participants that provides a less fatiguing sense of presence.

Behind the living wall is a running water supply that provides humidity during the winter months and a soothing sound for employees and visitors to enjoy all year round.

These more advanced installations often include sophisticated acoustic design elements, including " room-in-a-room " construction that isolates sound and provides the potential for a nearly ideal listening environment.
