While metals do not have some of the advantages displayed by silicon in terms of mechanical properties, when used within their limitations, metals can exhibit very high degrees of reliability.

While Maxwell's equations are consistent within special and general relativity, there are some quantum mechanical situations in which Maxwell's equations are significantly inaccurate: including extremely strong fields ( see Euler – Heisenberg Lagrangian ) and extremely short distances ( see vacuum polarization ).

While all motion in a mechanical system occurs in three dimensional space, planar motion can be analyzed using plane geometry, if all point trajectories are parallel to a plane.

While M. Houdin worked in the main shop, Jean was to tinker with mechanical toys and automatic figures.

While some homemakers are " handy " with tools, the fact remains that most homemakers are unfamiliar with the different principles involved in mechanical tools and devices.

While based in Cornwall Murdoch had to deal with a wide range of mechanical problems related to steam engines, and this led him to make practical improvements to the basic steam engine designs used by Boulton and Watt.

While there are no biological or mechanical vectors for the adult or larval form of any Echinococcus species, coprophagic flies, carrion birds and arthropods can act as mechanical vectors for the eggs .< ref >" Echinococcus granulosus-Material Safety Data Sheets ( MSDS ).

While in Marburg in 1690, having observed the mechanical power of atmospheric pressure on his ' digester ', Papin built a model of a piston steam engine, the first of its kind.

While colours and detail specifications were modified in the ensuing 42 years, the biggest mechanical change was the addition of front disc brakes in 1981 ( from the discontinued Citroën Dyane ), for the 1982 model year.

While this section highlights the modern trends of strict mechanical performance as something widespread in the 20th century and beyond ; it is interesting to observe that as early as 1860, there were people who firmly advocated this type of " modern " performance practice:

While the focus initially remained on ore mining and iron production in the Ruhr region, mechanical engineering became the dominating branch of business in Augsburg and Nuremberg.

While diffraction occurs whenever propagating waves encounter such changes, its effects are generally most pronounced for waves where the wavelength is roughly similar to the dimensions of the diffracting objects.

While they are travelling, the distance between successive wave fronts is reduced ; so the waves " bunch together ".

While far from a cure, operant-based biofeedback based on conditioning of EEG waves has some experimental support ( see Professional practice of behavior analysis ).

While subtractive synthesis can be applied to any source audio signal, the sound most commonly associated with the technique is that of analog synthesizers of the 1960s and 1970s, in which the harmonics of simple waveforms such as sawtooth, pulse or square waves are attenuated with a voltage-controlled resonant low-pass filter.

While everyday wind waves have a wavelength ( from crest to crest ) of about and a height of roughly, a tsunami in the deep ocean has a wavelength of about.

While there are no historical records that deal directly with the founding of Venice, tradition and the available evidence have led several historians to agree that the original population of Venice consisted of refugees from Roman cities near Venice such as Padua, Aquileia, Treviso, Altino and Concordia ( modern Portogruaro ) and from the undefended countryside, who were fleeing successive waves of Germanic and Hun invasions.

While material substance is not required for electromagnetic waves to propagate, such waves are usually affected by the transmission media they pass through, for instance by absorption or by reflection or refraction at the interfaces between media.

While tin foil hats may have originated in some understanding of the Faraday cage effect, the use of such a hat to attenuate radio waves belongs properly to the realm of pseudoscience.

While soil is a less dense material, it also doesn't transmit shock waves as well as concrete.

While Einstein's theory of general relativity shows that light waves can be bent near the surface of an extremely massive object, such as the sun or a black hole, current technology cannot manipulate the astronomical amounts of matter needed to do this.

While the two split singing and songwriting duties roughly in half, Linnell's songs enjoyed the most commercial success in their early years: singles like " Don't Let's Start " and " Ana Ng " introduced the band to college radio, and they made waves on the Billboard charts in 1990 with " Birdhouse in Your Soul ".

While the theory is supported by the traditional and near-universal account of the decline of the troubadours coinciding with the suppression of Catharism during the Albigensian Crusade ( first half of the 13th century ), support for it has come in waves.

While long thin strips may be the most common, many varieties of noodles are cut into waves, helices, tubes, strings, shells, folded over, or cut into other shapes.

While shock formation by this process does not normally happen to sound waves in Earth's atmosphere, it is thought to be one mechanism by which the solar chromosphere and corona are heated, via waves that propagate up from the solar interior.

While objects in that direction lie in the Zone of Avoidance ( the part of the night sky obscured by the Milky Way galaxy ) and are thus difficult to study with visible wavelengths, X-ray observations have revealed that the region of space is dominated by the Norma cluster ( ACO 3627 ), a massive cluster of galaxies containing a preponderance of large, old galaxies, many of which are colliding with their neighbours, and / or radiating large amounts of radio waves.

While not sensitive enough to detect distant earthquakes, this instrument could indicate the direction of the pressure waves and thus help find the epicenter of a local earthquake – such instruments were useful in the analysis of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

While visiting prototype radar stations, he realised that shorter-wavelength radio waves were needed urgently.

While it is often stated that the thermohaline circulation is the primary reason that Western Europe is so temperate, it has been suggested that this is largely incorrect, and that Europe is warm mostly because it lies downwind of an ocean basin, and because of the effect of atmospheric waves bringing warm air north from the subtropics.

While it is possible that the Lepontians were autochthonous to northern Italy since the end of the second millennium B. C., it is well known that the Gauls invaded the regions north of the river Po in several waves since the fifth century B. C.
