While this discussion is limited to the xy-plane, it can easily be extended to higher dimensions.

While the 320 pixel modes theoretically enable the 7800 to create games at higher resolution than the 256 pixel wide graphics found in the Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Master System, the intense processing demands of MARIA typically meant that programmers created their games using the lower 160 pixel modes.

While both types of gun were effective against wooden ships, neither had the capability to pierce the armour of ironclads ; due to reports of slight problems with the breeches of the Armstrong gun, and their higher cost, the older muzzle-loaders were selected to remain in service, instead.

While counter weights add a considerable amount of weight to the crankshaft, it provides a smoother running engine and allows higher RPM levels to be reached.

While many designs achieved the aim of higher throughput at lower cost and also allowed high-level language constructs to be expressed by fewer instructions, it was observed that this was not always the case.

While highly dependent on higher math, physicists tended to be " sloppy " with it.

While the technique extends to higher dimension ( as proved by Edelsbrunner and Shah ), the runtime can be exponential in the dimension even if the final Delaunay triangulation is small.

: While advocates of the deprogramming position have claimed high rates of success, studies show that natural attrition rates actually are higher than the success rate achieved through deprogramming.

While people expected elements with higher atomic number to form from neutron bombardment of lighter elements, nobody expected neutrons to have enough energy to actually split a heavier atom into two light element fragments, and it was thought still more unlikely that slow neutrons could accomplish such a task.

While some scientists have claimed other objects ( such as Abell 1835 IR1916 ) have higher redshifts ( and therefore are seen in an earlier stage of the Universe's evolution ), IOK-1's age and composition have been more reliably established.

While higher HDL levels are correlated with cardiovascular health, no incremental increase in HDL has been proven to improve health.

While studying in Shanghai, he had closely examined the catalogs for various institutions of higher learning around the world.

While on the surface it appears the broker represents the buyer ( not the insurance company ), and typically counsels the buyer on appropriate coverage and policy limitations, in the vast majority of cases a broker's compensation comes in the form of a commission as a percentage of the insurance premium, creating a conflict of interest in that the broker's financial interest is tilted towards encouraging an insured to purchase more insurance than might be necessary at a higher price.

While the capital cost of electrifying track is high, electric trains and locomotives are capable of higher performance and lower operational costs than steam or diesel power.

While monetary and military Libyan support for the Sahrawi cause dwindled in the mid-1980s, after a rapprochement with Morocco, the enemy of Polisario, some Sahrawi refugee students are still able to apply for higher education in Libya.

While the flesh has protein levels similar to other comparable red meats ( e. g. beef, deer and elk ) it has a low fat content and the fat that is found is made up of a higher proportion of polyunsaturated fats ( rather than saturated fats ).

While the mobility of walking vehicles is arguably higher than that of wheeled or tracked vehicles, their inherent complexity has limited their use mainly to experimental vehicles.

While Xenophon and Plato also described realistic politics, and were closer to Machiavelli than Aristotle was, they, like Aristotle, also saw Philosophy as something higher than politics.

While estrogens are present in both men and women, they are usually present at significantly higher levels in women of reproductive age.

While Prakrits were originally seen as " lower " forms of language, the influence they had on Sanskrit, allowing it to be more easily used by the common people, as well as " Sankritization " of Prakrits gave Prakrits progressively higher cultural cachet.

While this change was favorable to freshwater vertebrates, those that prefer marine environments, such as sharks, suffered.

While all vertebrates have a brain, most invertebrates have either a centralized brain or collections of individual ganglia.

While humans, as well as other vertebrates, have a closed cardiovascular system ( meaning that the blood never leaves the network of arteries, veins and capillaries ), some invertebrate groups have an open cardiovascular system.

While a few scientists still regard the living agnaths as only superficially similar, and argue that many of these similarities are probably shared basal characteristics of ancient vertebrates, recent classifications clearly place hagfish ( the Myxini or Hyperotreti ), with the lampreys ( Hyperoartii ) as being more closely related to each other than either is to the jawed fishes.

While there is no fossil evidence directly to support this theory, it makes sense in light of the numbers of pharyngeal arches that are visible in extant jawed vertebrates ( the Gnathostomes ), which have seven arches, and primitive jawless vertebrates ( the Agnatha ), which have nine.

While insects make up the majority of the diet they will also feed on spiders, worms, centipedes, snails, and small crabs ; larger species will also tackle small vertebrates such as frogs, geckos and baby birds.

While the vertebrates were then seen as forming a sort of evolutionary sequence, the various classes were distinct, the undiscovered intermediate forms being called " missing links ".

While there is no fossil evidence directly to support this theory, it makes sense in light of the numbers of pharyngeal arches that are visible in extant jawed ( the Gnathostomes ), which have seven arches, and primitive jawless vertebrates ( the Agnatha ), which have nine.

While a single NR2 subunit is found in invertebrate organisms, four distinct isoforms of the NR2 subunit are expressed in vertebrates and are referred to with the nomenclature NR2A through D ( coded by GRIN2A, GRIN2B, GRIN2C, GRIN2D ).

While rivers of Tirana, Terkuze and Erzeni, where they flow on flat surfaces, are favorable for the growth of many species of fish and vertebrates, and otter, which is threatened throughout Europe.

While hearing sensitivity of mammals is similar to that of other classes of vertebrates, without functioning outer hair cells the sensitivity decreases by approximately 50 dB.

While cladistic taxonomy includes the tetrapoda ( including all birds and land vertebrates ) in the Sarcopterygii, this category includes only articles and subcategories concerning taxa traditionally considered fishes.

While initial arthropod terrestriality was well under way before the gap, and some digited tetrapods might have come on land, there are remarkably few terrestrial or aquatic fossils that date from the gap itself Recent work on Paleozoic geochemistry has confirmed the biological reality of Romer's gap in both terrestrial vertebrates and arthropods, and has correlated it with a period of unusually low atmospheric oxygen concentration, which was independently determined from the idiosyncratic geochemistry of rocks formed during Romer's gap.

While tails are primarily a feature of vertebrates, some invertebrates including scorpions and springtails, as well as snails and slugs, have tail-like appendages that are sometimes referred to as tails.

While invertebrates are essentially immune to the effects of this venom, effects on vertebrates are more severe and varied.

While this " spoon-and-washboard " anatomy is a well-known sound-producing apparatus in insects ( see stridulation ), it had not been well documented in vertebrates ( some snakes stridulate too, but they do not have dedicated anatomical features for it ).
