When he said it, they thought it exceedingly profound, though none of them understood it, since it was simply the amount of time that Mercer had been on Shayol:

When analyzing the efficiency of algorithms that use stacks, one may also specify that all operations take the same time no matter how many items have been pushed into the stack, and that the stack uses a constant amount of storage for each element.

When the amount of RAM is not sufficient to run all the current programs, it can result in a situation where the computer spends more time moving memory from RAM to disk and back than it does accomplishing tasks ; this is known as thrashing.

When numbers are used to represent months, a significant amount of confusion can arise from the ambiguity of a date order ; especially when the numbers representing the day, month or year are low, it can be impossible to tell which order is being used.

When the trajectory r ( t ) rotates an amount dθ, u < sub > ρ </ sub >, which points in the same direction as r ( t ), also rotates by dθ.

Though attractive in many cases, a general-purpose DBMS is not always the optimal solution: When certain applications are pervasive with many operating instances, each with many users, a general-purpose DBMS may introduce unnecessary overhead and too large " footprint " ( too large amount of unnecessary, unutilized software code ).

When the upcurrent amount of sediment is less than the amount being carried away, erosion occurs.

When the upcurrent amount of sediment is greater, sand or gravel banks will tend to form as a result of deposition.

When the US Marines landed on the island, they discovered a large amount of documents, which included agreements between the Soviet Government, and the New Jewel Movement, recorded minutes of the Committee meetings, and reports from the Grenadian embassy in Moscow.

When light strikes a material, most of the light is absorbed while a smaller amount of a particular frequency or wavelength is reflected.

When severe hypoglycemia has persisted in a hospitalized patient, the amount of glucose required to maintain satisfactory blood glucose levels becomes an important clue to the underlying etiology.

When a request for change is received, it may undergo a preliminary review to determine if the requested change is compatible with the organizations business model and practices, and to determine the amount of resources needed to implement the change.

When insured parties experience a loss for a specified peril, the coverage entitles the policyholder to make a claim against the insurer for the covered amount of loss as specified by the policy.

When the number of particles in one excited state exceeds the number of particles in some lower-energy state, population inversion is achieved and the amount of stimulated emission due to light that passes through is larger than the amount of absorption.

When speaking in terms of a labor theory of value, value, without any qualifying adjective should theoretically refer to the amount of labor necessary to the production of a marketable commodity, including the labor necessary to the development of any real capital employed in the production.

When voltage is applied, the liquid crystals shift to a tilted position allowing light to pass through and create a gray-scale display depending on the amount of tilt generated by the electric field.

When EMR interacts with single atoms and molecules, its behaviour depends on the amount of energy per quantum it carries.

When an individual is leaving the UK with an amount of Methadone that exceeds 500mg, a Home Office Export Licence is required which should be arranged by the prescriber.

When Rome and Carthage made peace in 241 BC, Rome secured the release of all 8, 000 prisoners of war without ransom and, furthermore, received a considerable amount of silver as a war indemnity.

When Mickey Charles Mantle, the New York Yankees' man of muscle, drives a home run 450 feet into the bleachers, his feat touches upon the sublime.

When the axon is damaged, on the other hand, this results in a reduced compound muscle action potential ( CMAP ).

) When the orthodromic stimulus reaches the muscle fiber, it elicits a strong M-response indicative of muscle contraction.

When the antidromic stimulus reaches the motor neuron cell bodies, a small portion of the motor neurons backfire and orthodromic wave travels back down the nerve towards the muscle.

When this insulation is insufficient to maintain body temperature, they may resort to shivering -- rapid muscle contractions that quickly use up ATP, thus stimulating cellular metabolism to replace it and consequently produce more heat.

When sIBM was originally described, the major feature noted was muscle inflammation.

When he passed the same current through the hamstring, the opposing muscle to the quadriceps, he saw an inhibitory postsynaptic potential ( IPSP ) in the quadriceps motor neuron.

When a normally functioning motor nerve is stimulated it releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which transmits the impulse to a muscle or organ.

When these are used, effects may include anxiolysis, analgesia, sedation, somnolence, cognitive / memory impairment, dissociation, muscle relaxation, lowered blood pressure / heart rate, respiratory depression, anesthesia, and anticonvulsant effects.

When the bladder is stretched, this signals the parasympathetic nervous system to contract the detrusor muscle.

When the exercise becomes difficult towards the end of a set, there is a temptation to cheat, i. e., to use poor form to recruit other muscle groups to assist the effort.

When properly warmed up the lifter will then have more strength and stamina since the blood has begun to flow to the muscle groups.

When this muscle contracts, the cord is shortened and the testicle is moved closer up toward the body, which provides slightly more warmth to maintain optimal testicular temperature.

When cooling is required, the cremasteric muscle relaxes and the testicle is lowered away from the warm body and is able to cool.

When bright light is shone on the eye light sensitive cells in the retina, including rod and cone photoreceptors and melanopsin ganglion cells, will send signals to the oculomotor nerve, specifically the parasympathetic part coming from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, which terminates on the circular iris sphincter muscle.

When this muscle contracts, it reduces the size of the pupil.

When he expresses his frustration, Miyagi reveals that Daniel has been learning defensive blocks through muscle memory learned by performing the chores.

" When a person accepts himself as loved by God, he is liberated from conceptions of " the blood line, the nation, the church, money, ego, entitlement, sexual muscle, security, violence, and the paltry gods of modern life.

When the muscle no longer needs to contract, the calcium ions are pumped from the sarcomere and back into storage in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

When Swammerdam caused the muscle to contract by irritating the nerve, the water level did not rise but rather was lowered by a minute amount ; this showed that no air or fluid could be flowing into the muscle.

When examining muscle regeneration, a significant reduction was found in the amount of myonuclei.

When it is used on specific nerve pathways ( nerve block ), effects such as analgesia ( loss of pain sensation ) and paralysis ( loss of muscle power ) can be achieved.
