While the particles themselves can move quite slowly, sometimes with an average drift velocity only fractions of a millimetre per second, the electric field that drives them itself propagates at close to the speed of light, enabling electrical signals to pass rapidly along wires.

While these theories were successful in explaining many experimental results, they had certain unsatisfactory qualities stemming from their neglect of the relativistic creation and annihilation of particles.

* While the seemingly " exotic " behavior of matter posited by quantum mechanics and relativity theory become more apparent when dealing with particles of extremely small size or velocities approaching the speed of light, the laws of classical Newtonian physics remain accurate in predicting the behavior of the vast majority of " large " objects ( on the order of the size of large molecules or bigger ) at velocities much smaller than the velocity of light.

While almost all reactions have integer-ratio stoichiometry in amount of matter units ( moles, number of particles ), some nonstoichiometric compounds are known that cannot be represented by a ratio of well-defined natural numbers.

* While some pioneering experiments about internal structure of atoms had been made at the end of the 19th century, it was only in the 20th century that their structure was clearly understood, followed by the discovery of elementary particles.

While Preventive Maintenance includes the evaluation of particles in suspension in a lubricant, sound and vibration analysis of a machine.

While a long period is not a guarantee of quality in a random number generator, short periods ( such as the 2 < sup > 32 </ sup > common in many software packages ) can be problematic .< ref > Note: 2 < sup > 19937 </ sup > is approximately 4. 3 × 10 < sup > 6001 </ sup >; this is many orders of magnitude larger than the estimated number of particles in the observable universe, which is 10 < sup > 87 </ sup >.</ ref >

While most of the approximately 5, 000 – 10, 000 known species feed on bacteria and other food particles in the water, some host photosynthesizing micro-organisms as endosymbionts and these alliances often produce more food and oxygen than they consume.

While individual fluid particles are indeed experiencing time dependent acceleration, the convective acceleration of the flow field is a spatial effect, one example being fluid speeding up in a nozzle.

While the particle positions themselves are in real space, the velocity field and wavefunction are on configuration space which is how particles are entangled with each other in this theory.

While measuring the spin of these entangled particles along parallel axes will always result in opposite ( i. e., perfectly anticorrelated ) results, measurement at perpendicular directions will have a 50 % chance of matching ( i. e., will have a 50 % probability of an uncorrelated result ).

While liquid droplets are nearly always spherical, solid particles have a variety of shapes and to understand their properties, a equivalent diameter is used.

While traveling through the outer Van Allen radiation belt, the spacecraft's scintillator made observations indicating that a small number of high energy particles exist in the outer belt.

While there, Gold attracted some controversy by suggesting that the interaction between charged particles from the Sun with the Earth's magnetic field in creating magnetic storms in the upper atmosphere was an example of a collisionless shock wave.

While sharp spectral lines correspond to mechanical movements of the particles, the heat shows spectroscopically as a noise with some spectral distribution.

While the particles in a given sublevel were considered indistinguishable from each other, particles in different sublevels were considered distinguishable from particles in any other sublevel.

While some suspended material will be large enough and heavy enough to settle rapidly to the bottom of the container if a liquid sample is left to stand ( the settable solids ), very small particles will settle only very slowly or not at all if the sample is regularly agitated or the particles are colloidal.

While virtual particles obey conservation of energy and momentum, they can have any energy and momentum, even one that is not allowed by the relativistic energy-momentum relation for the observed mass of that particle.

While it shared similarities with St Elmo's fire, the glow experienced was from the impact of ash particles on the leading edges of the aircraft, similar to that seen by operators of sandblasting equipment.

While the Higgs field is postulated to confer mass on quarks and leptons, it causes only a tiny portion of the masses of other subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons.

While the creator of the NES version would be restricted from making a competitive version of an NES game, the original arcade copyright holder was not precluded from licensing out rights for a home version of an arcade game to multiple systems.

" While the document itself is not in any way actual law, it is used by the town council, board of adjustment, and other committees to guide decision making as to what types of development are appropriate.

While making The Gold Rush, Chaplin married for the second time.

While most traditional Spanish style builders use the one piece neck / heel block, Fleta a prominent Spanish builder used a dovetail joint due to the influence of his early training in violin making.

While making La Jetee, Marker was simultaneously making the 150-minute documentary essay-film Le joli mai, released in 1963.

The power of making by-laws was “ tacitly annexed to corporations by the very act of their establishment .” While they must not directly contradict the overarching laws of the land, the central or local government cannot be expected to regulate toward the peculiar circumstances of a given body, and so “ they are invested with authority to make regulations for the management of their own interests and affairs .”

While this aspect is similar to Scotch and Irish whisky regulations, it contrasts with the maximum alcoholic proof limits on distillation ( 80 % abv ) and aging ( 62. 5 % abv ) purity allowed in the production of straight whiskey in the U. S. All spirits used in making a Canadian whisky must be aged for at least three years in wooden barrels of not greater than 700 L capacity ( a requirement similar to that for Scotch and Irish whisky and longer than for American straight whisky ).

While the budget consists of limited amount of donations and business operations owned by the party, its majority comes from the grant of national treasury, the same way that supports the other 8 subordinative registered parties, which making a bizarre exception among modern political parties.

While Mike, Mark, Zonker, BD, and Boopsie were all now graduates, BD and Boopsie were living in Malibu, where BD was a third-string quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, and Boopsie was making a living from walk-on and cameo roles.

While he is a confirmed compatibilist on free will, in " On Giving Libertarians What They Say They Want " – Chapter 15 of his 1978 book Brainstorms, Dennett articulated the case for a two-stage model of decision making in contrast to libertarian views.

While their counterparts at Polytechnique were making history in the streets during les Trois Glorieuses, Galois and all the other students at the École Normale were locked in by the school's director.

While many mathematicians before Galois gave consideration to what are now known as groups, it was Galois who was the first to use the word group ( in French groupe ) in a sense close to the technical sense that is understood today, making him among the founders of the branch of algebra known as group theory.

While Belarusian and Southern Russian form a continuous area, making it virtually impossible to draw a line between two languages.

While Fred Astaire had revolutionized the filming of dance in the 1930s by insisting on full-figure photography of dancers while allowing only a modest degree of camera movement, Kelly freed up the camera, making greater use of space, camera movement, camera angles and editing, creating a partnership between dance movement and camera movement without sacrificing full-figure framing.

While falling foul of Godwin's law tends to cause the individual making the comparison to lose their argument or credibility, Godwin's law itself can be abused as a distraction, diversion or even as censorship, fallaciously miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole when the comparisons made by the argument are actually appropriate.

While not officially a diplomat, Louisa Adams did serve an invaluable role as wife-of-diplomat, becoming a favorite of the tsar and making up for her husband's utter lack of charm.

While most Black-legged Kittiwakes do, indeed, have dark-grey legs, some have pinkish-grey to reddish legs, making colouration a somewhat unreliable identifying marker.

While Polo's book describes paper money and the burning of coal, it fails to mention the Great Wall of China, chopsticks, and footbinding, making skeptics wonder if Marco Polo had really gone to China, or wrote his book based on hearsay.

While the Israelites were making their journey around Edom, they complained about the manna.

While the wealthy capitalists who controlled the House of Commons benefited from these monopolies, Parliament found it difficult to implement them because of the high cost of group decision making.

While the process is secret, the general method for making yeast extract on a commercial scale is to add salt to a suspension of yeast, making the solution hypertonic, which leads to the cells shrivelling up ; this triggers " autolysis ", in which the yeast self-destructs.
