While lumber from a harvested tree is no longer alive, these tissues still absorb and expel water causing swelling and shrinkage of the wood in kind with change in humidity.

While Birger's direct involvement in the foundation of the city remains speculative, it probably was no accident it was founded on the location at this time, as there were alternative passages into Mälaren during the preceding Viking Era ; as Crusades, a kind of Viking raids in a Christian disguise, had proven increasingly unsuccessful ; and as taking control over the location, traditionally where men supposedly gathered before the ledung, meant old offensive military traditions could be replaced by more " modern " commercial efforts directed towards Lübeck.

While this kind of usage blurs the boundaries between categories that are intellectually valuable and psychologically justifiable, such confusion is understandable in that historical explorations of the term indicate that these boundaries have long posed problems.

While comparatively inefficient for low speed use, they are very lightweight and powerful, capable of generating large accelerations and of attaining extremely high speeds with reasonable efficiency.

While the speed of communication is important, so is the fact that the messages cannot be overheard except by listeners with a piece of the original crystal.

While special relativity constrains objects in the universe from moving faster with respect to one another than the speed of light, there is no such constraint in general relativity.

While the phonetic system is easy to learn, choosing appropriate Chinese characters slows typing speed.

While the Browns excelled on defense, Cleveland's winning ways were driven by an offense that employed Brown's version of the T formation, which emphasized speed, timing and execution over set plays.

While Beaux stuck to her portraits of the elite, American art was advancing into urban and social subject matter, led by artists such as Robert Henri who espoused a totally different aesthetic, " Work with great speed .. Have your energies alert, up and active.

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 otariids are known for speed and maneuverability, phocids are known for efficient, economical movement.

While not a direct cause of El Niño, the Madden-Julian Oscillation, or MJO, propagates rainfall anomalies eastward around the global tropics in a cycle of 30 – 60 days, and may influence the speed of development and intensity of El Niño and La Niña in several ways.

While it is theoretically possible to implement a full computer entirely mechanically ( as Babbage's design showed ), electronics made possible the speed and later the miniaturization that characterize modern computers.

While the energy delivered to the target increases linearly with mass, it increases geometrically with the speed ( see the effect of the handle, below ).

While some are transitory and may disappear if the volume or speed of the current changes, others are stable and long-lived.

While in the early days these calculations were extremely expensive to perform, the advent of high speed microprocessors has made them much more feasible today.

While light and cheap to manufacture, these mechanisms had low inertia, making motor speed instabilities more pronounced.

While its use for communicating information has been completely superseded by electronic systems, pneumatic tubes are still widely used for transporting small valuable objects, or where convenience and speed in a local environment is useful.

* 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 remarkable for its simplicity and speed in software, RC4 has weaknesses that argue against its use in new systems.

While multi-drop " work-arounds " have been devised, they have limitations in speed and compatibility.

While comparatively inefficient for low speed use, rockets are relatively lightweight and powerful, capable of generating large accelerations and of attaining extremely high speeds with reasonable efficiency.

While the other races developed antimatter-based " tactical " Warp drive, which allowed them to fight at warp speed and increase weapons power, the Romulans fell behind.

While it promotes readability for humans, facilitates error detection, and avoids interoperability problems such as byte-order ( Endianness ), it can slow processing speed and can be cumbersome.

* While at lower speeds, air-breathing engines are very efficient, the efficiency ( Isp ) and thrust levels of air-breathing jet engines drop considerably at high speed ( above Mach 5 – 10 depending on the engine ) and begin to approach that of rocket engines or worse.

While sailing groups organize the most active and popular competitive yachting, other boating events are also held world-wide: speed motor boat racing ; competitive canoeing, kayaking, and rowing ; and navigational contests ( generally a test of celestial and landmark-based navigation skills where GPS and other electronic navigation equipment is disallowed ) are among the events which are organized around the world.

; Efficiency: While there are losses in the charge / discharge cycle and in the conversion of electricity to motive power, Rutter points out that most electric boats need only about 1. 5 kW or 2 hp to cruise at 5 mph, a common maximum river speed and that a 30 hp petrol or diesel engine producing only 2 hp is considerably more inefficient.
