While the dividing line between machine pistols and compact submachine guns is hard to draw, the term " submachine gun " usually refers to larger automatic firearms scaled down from a full-sized machine gun to fire handgun rounds, while the term " machine pistol " usually refers to a weapon built up from a semi-automatic pistol design.

While the term submachine gun usually refers to an automatic firearm larger than a pistol, several weapons are classed in both categories.

While East Malaysia is less populated and less developed than West Malaysia, its land mass is larger and it has notably more natural resources, chiefly oil and gas reserves.

While our earliest Hominid ancestors were probably frugivores or omnivores, there is evidence that earlier Homo species, and possibly also australopithecine species utilised larger animals for subsistence.

While in government work, he helped develop the metric system to secure uniformity of weights and measures throughout France.

While all these conditions are equivalent for metric spaces, in general we have the following implications:

While the CIA Factbook in 2006 stated that the " US is the only industrialized nation that does not mainly use the metric system ", ( in addition to non-industrialised Burma / Myanmar, Liberia ), the actual situation, however, is more complicated than the CIA Factbook would suggest-in the United Kingdom, for example, although metric is the official system for most regulated trading by weight or measure purposes, the pint is the official unit for milk in returnable bottles and for draught beer and cider in British pubs, and miles, yards and feet remain the official units for road signage.

While traditional agriculture in the region typically yields 2. 4 metric tons of potatoes per hectare, and modern agriculture ( with artificial fertilizers and pesticides ) yields about 14. 5 metric tons per hectare, suka kollu agriculture yields an average of 21 tons per hectare.

While the notion of a metric tensor was known in some sense to mathematicians such as Carl Gauss from the early 19th century, it was not until the early 20th century that its properties as a tensor were understood by, in particular, Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro and Tullio Levi-Civita who first codified the notion of a tensor.

While the use of the minim, along with other such measures, has been reduced by the adoption of the metric system, it still persists in some countries in the measurement of dosages of medicine.

While each side would have length √ 2r using a Euclidean metric, where r is the circle's radius, its length in taxicab geometry is 2r.

While all U. S customary units have been redefined in terms of SI units, the United States does not commonly mandate the use of SI, making it, according to the CIA Factbook, one of three countries that has not adopted the International System of Units ( SI ) metric system as their official system of weights and measures, along with Burma ( Myanmar ) and Liberia.

While most Americans have studied metric units at school, metric usage remains low in daily life.

While the field redefinition above is faithful locally on the configuration space of the three-dimensional metric tensor, it introduces new periodicities ( the Wilson loops of all gauge fields take values in the space of complex units ) and quantization laws that cannot be derived from the metric itself.

While a megabyte has always meant 2 < sup > 20 </ sup > ( 1, 048, 576 ) bytes in computer science, disk manufacturers began using the metric system ( SI ) prefix meaning of 10 < sup > 6 </ sup > ( 1, 000, 000 ).

While this notion makes sense for any Lorentzian manifold, it is most often applied to a spacetime standing as a solution to the field equations of some metric theory of gravitation, particularly general relativity.

While the term " metric foot " is still occasionally used in the United Kingdom, in particular in the timber trade, dimensions are most likely to be quoted exclusively in metric units today.
