One of Greg's bombs hung up, and he was miles from the target before he could get rid of it.

The bobbing head was a poor target, so Matsuo shot him in the upper trunk.

An aggressor would use an agent against which there was a minimal naturally acquired or artificially induced immunity in a target population.

The target was Allied shipping -- a desperate effort to stave off the Allied invasion of Europe.

George Wittkowsky argued that Swift ’ s main target in A Modest Proposal was not the conditions in Ireland, but rather the can-do spirit of the times that led people to devise a number of illogical schemes that would purportedly solve social and economic ills.

In response to a neighbor's complaint that his target shooting endangered her children, he replied, " If that should ever happen, ma-da-me, we should ourselves be happy to get new ones with you " ( though he was not at all inclined to engage with females in the manner implied ).

The decision to target the Apollo 16 lunar landing for the highlands region of the Moon was made to obtain samples of the Descartes Formation and the Cayley Formation.

It was ultimately decided to target the Apollo 16 mission to the Descartes site.

It was announced early in 1983 with a fall introduction at the target price of $ 500 for plug-in AppleNet cards for the Lisa and the Apple II.

The intended target was not Ethernet, and it did not have 48-bit addresses to route.

In predicted fire the basic geospatial data of range, angle of sight and azimuth between a fire unit and its target was produced and corrected for variations from the ' standard conditions '.

Another target was Senator Ted Kennedy, parodied as " Senator O. Noble McGesture ," resident of " Hyideelsport.

The limitations of beam-riding guidance ( which was slaved to an optical sight on single seater fighters and a radar with night fighters ) restricted the missile to attacks against targets flying a straight course and made it essentially useless against a maneuvering target.

) The F-4 pilot launched the missile and then saw that the target was the B-52, which was hit.

One characteristic of the Missileer ancestry was that the radar sent it mid-course corrections, which allowed the fire control system to " loft " the missile up over the target into thinner air where it had better range.

Regulatory Arbitrage was used for the first time in 2005 when it was applied by Scott V. Simpson, a partner at law firm Skadden, Arps, to refer to a new defence tactic in hostile mergers and acquisitions where differing takeover regimes in deals involving multi-jurisdictions are exploited to the advantage of a target company under threat.

But it was not a secret that Bulgaria's target was the fulfilment of the never materialized Treaty of San Stefano signed after the Russo-Turkish War, 1877 – 78.

The Herald American was printed in broadsheet format, and failed to target a particular readership ; where the Record American had been a typical city tabloid, the Herald Traveler was a Republican paper.

Strutt ( Sports and Pastimes ) suggests that the first player's bowl may have been regarded by the second player as a species of jack ; but in that case it is not clear what was the first player's target.

It has been shown, using scaled implosions on the OMEGA laser and computer simulations, that NIF should also be capable of igniting a capsule using the so-called polar direct drive ( PDD ) configuration where the target is irradiated directly by the laser, but only from the top and bottom, with no changes to the NIF beamline layout.

The target is irradiated with neutrons to form < sup > 99 </ sup > Mo as a fission product.

If irradiated with select projectile nuclei at kinetic energies E < sub > kin </ sub > these target elements can undergo a nuclear reaction under resonance conditions for a sharply defined resonance energy.

Unless we keep our eyes on the horizon ahead, we shall fail to bring ourselves on target with the present.

Placing missiles in submarines, on barges, railroads, highways, surface vessels and in the air provides them with passive protection by taking advantage of the gravest weakness of long-range ballistic missiles today -- the extreme difficulty of destroying a mobile or moving target with such weapons.

It would be even more valuable because that same aircraft could immediately destroy any targets it discovered -- no need to wait for a missile to come all the way from the United States with the chance that the target, if it were mobile, would be gone.

In the marksmanship example, a trial consists of `` one round shot at a target '' with outcome either one bull's-eye ( success ) or none ( failure ).

Communist target areas can be assumed, but there is no certainty that such assumptions coincide with Soviet intentions.

The ocean presently co-operates with the target.

The opinion continues here that with a 162-game schedule, pitching spread thin through a 10-team league and a most inviting target in Los Angeles' Wrigley Field Jr., Mantle just might break the most glamorous record on the books, Babe Ruth's 60 homers of 1927.

Synthesis of new elements is accomplished by bombarding target atoms of heavy elements with ions, such that the sum of the atomic numbers of the target and ion elements equals the atomic number of the element being created.

If the resulting four kilobyte table size is too large for a given target platform, the table lookup operation can be performed with a single 256-entry 32-bit ( i. e. 1 kilobyte ) table by the use of circular rotates.

Those that target the bacterial cell wall ( penicillins and cephalosporins ) or the cell membrane ( polymixins ), or interfere with essential bacterial enzymes ( quinolones and sulfonamides ) have bactericidal activities.

For example a target acquisition element can send a message with target details which is automatically routed through the tactical and technical fire control elements to deliver firing data to the gun's laying system and the gun automatically laid.

As tactical data networks become pervasive they will provide any connected soldier with a means for reporting target information and requesting artillery fire.

* In the mid-1970s several armies started equipping their artillery observation teams with laser rangefinders, ground surveillance radars and night vision devices, these were soon followed by inertial orienting and navigating devices to improve the accuracy of target locations.

* Laser guided shells require laser target designators, usually with observation teams on the ground but UAV installations are possible.

Targeting is concerned with selecting the right weapons in the right quantities to achieve the required effects on the target.

In either case the observation element usually controls fire in detail against the target, such as adjusting it onto the target, moving it and co-ordinating it with the supported arm as necessary to achieve the required effects.

However, the need to engage targets at night, in depth or hit the target with the first rounds quickly led to predicted fire being developed in World War I.

These persons are then made up, and in some cases altered to look like the target, with the body double then taking the place of the person in high risk situations.
