This results in a characteristic type of irregular, uncoordinated movement that can manifest itself in many possible ways, such as asthenia, asynergy, delayed reaction time, and dyschronometria.

In a flat d-dimensional space M, at any given time, the configuration of two identical particles can be specified as an element of M × M. If there is no overlap between the particles, so that they do not interact ( at the same time, we are not referring to time delayed interactions here, which are mediated at the speed of light or slower ), then we are dealing with the space

Another major experimental parameter is whether nuclear decay products ( gamma rays or particles ) are measured during neutron irradiation ( prompt gamma ), or at some time after irradiation ( delayed gamma ).

For example, in uranium-235 this delayed energy is divided into about 6. 5 MeV in betas, 8. 8 MeV in antineutrinos ( released at the same time as the betas ), and finally, an additional 6. 3 MeV in delayed gamma emission from the excited beta-decay products ( for a mean total of ~ 10 gamma ray emissions per fission, in all ).

On the other hand, so-called delayed neutrons emitted as radioactive decay products with half-lives up to several minutes, from fission-daughters, are very important to reactor control, because they give a characteristic " reaction " time for the total nuclear reaction to double in size, if the reaction is run in a " delayed-critical " zone which deliberately relies on these neutrons for a supercritical chain-reaction ( one in which each fission cycle yields more neutrons than it absorbs ).

Theoretically such materials can show both instantaneous deformation as elastic material and a delayed time dependent deformation as in fluids.

If the central node is passive, the originating node must be able to tolerate the reception of an echo of its own transmission, delayed by the two-way transmission time ( i. e. to and from the central node ) plus any delay generated in the central node.

In a prevocalic aspirated stop ( a stop followed by a vowel or sonorant ), the time when the vocal cords begin to vibrate will be delayed until the vocal folds come together enough for voicing to begin, and will usually start with breathy voicing.

A more recent study by science historian John van Wyhe has determined that the idea that Darwin delayed publication only dates back to the 1940s, and Darwin's contemporaries thought the time he took was reasonable.

* Digital terrestrial television project by Radio Televisyen Malaysia is described as a " white elephant " because it has been delayed and recently deferred because technology rapidly evolved over time.

Those who are able to read the history in the light of what occurred later may perhaps be convinced that no policy whatever initiated, after 1766 could have prevented or even materially delayed the United States Declaration of Independence ; but to the politicians of that time the coming event had not yet cast so dark a shadow before as to paralyse all action, and if any man could have allayed the growing discontent of the colonists and prevented the ultimate dismemberment of the empire, it would have been Lord Chatham.

The cost of developing a major weapon system is now so enormous that the greatest care must be exercised in selecting new systems for development, in determining the most satisfactory rate of development, and in deciding the proper time at which either to place a system into production or to abandon it.
