While it can be used as a simplified replacement to more feature-rich servers, it is uniquely suited to service high volume requests for static data — for example as an image hosting server.

While the geometry of the conventional bell remains static the atmospheric pressure changes with altitude and therefore nozzles designed for high performance in the lower atmosphere will significantly drop in efficiency as they reach higher altitudes.

While the basic space-like passage of a static black hole cannot be traversed, Penrose diagrams for rotating and / or electrically charged black holes reveal " inner event horizons " ( lying in the future ) and vertically oriented singularities, which open up what is known as a " time-like wormhole " allowing passage into future universes.

While the small sparks generated by static electricity may barely be audible, larger sparks are often accompanied by a loud snap or bang.

While the former static inverter hall at Vockerode Power Plant still exists and was used as a workshop, the corresponding hall at Berlin-Marienfelde, which was situated just north of today's Marienfelde substation, was demolished and replaced by a large hardware store.

While static contact angles give static information about the interfacial tensions between the solid, liquid, and gas, advancing and receding contact angles give some information about the dynamic interaction of the liquid, solid, and gas.

While realists agree that the world known to them is the only one they possibly know ' as a static concept ,' they continue to regard something real about the concept having nothing to do with their thinking.

While traditional web servers generally supply clients with static copies of image files, image servers usually perform additional image processing before serving the file.

While Germany and most of contiguous Europe use standard gauge ( 1435 mm ), differences in signalling, rules and regulations, electrification voltages, etc.

While the description of strong and weak interactions within the Standard Model is based on gauge symmetries governed by the simple symmetry groups SU ( 3 ) and SU ( 2 ) which allow only discrete charges, the remaining component, the weak hypercharge interaction is described by an abelian symmetry U ( 1 ) which in principle allows for arbitrary charge assignments.

While the parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was initially prepared to authorise lines built to the broad gauge of 7 ft 0¼ in.

While some sources state that the much later cheugugi of Korea was the world's first gauge, other sources say that Jang Yeong-sil developed or refined an existing gauge.

While the phone books were separated, the force gauge that was used recorded of force when the interlacing failed.

While Draper was driving around his Volkswagen Microbus to test a pirate radio transmitter he had built, he broadcast a telephone number to listeners as feedback to gauge his station's reception.

While trying to gauge the range of functions for which convergence of the Fourier series can be shown, Dirichlet defines a function by the property that " to any x there corresponds a single finite y ", but then restricts his attention to piecewise continuous functions.

While Ives was inconsistent in what it called its larger-gauge trains, it most frequently called it wide gauge.

While S gauge is fairly consistent at 1: 64 scale, O gauge trains represent a variety of sizes.

While the gauge is filling up, the player can perform special attacks which vary depending on how much power the player has accumulated, which includes a flying hurricane kick.

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 steering wheel positions in between full-right, straight, and full-left are possible to use, beginners may be able to gauge their progress more effectively by turning the wheel all the way to the right or left.

While countries outside the NATO command structure ( including some NATO member countries such as France ) do not strictly fall into this classification structure and there may be incidences of overlap ( particularly in ranks between countries ) the codes still provide a useful gauge in determining what ranks are broadly equivalent.

While countries outside the NATO command structure do not strictly fall into this classification structure and there may be incidences of overlap ( particularly in OR ranks between countries ), the codes still provide a useful gauge in determining what ranks are broadly equivalent.

While rather delicate in a manufacturing environment, aluminium wire has about one third of the mass of the equivalent gauge of copper wire, and has about two thirds of the electrical conductivity.

While, the Australian Government has provided substantial funding for the upgrading of roads, since the 1920s, it has not regularly funded investment in railways except for its own railway, the Commonwealth Railways, which was established in 1911 to build the standard gauge Trans-Australian Railway between Kalgoorlie and Port Augusta, South Australia, and to take over the 1067 mm gauge railways between Port Augusta and Oodnadatta ( used by the old " Ghan ") and the Palmerston and Pine Creek Railway.
