For a brief period each year, the rays of the sun are warm enough to melt some of the snows piled a mile deep at the base of the headwalls, and then the pinnacles glisten in the daytime at high noon, and billions of gallons of water begin their slow seepage under the glaciers and across the rockstrewn hanging valleys on their long, meandering journey to the sea -- running east past the sky-carving massifs of Gurla Mandhata and Kemchenjunga, then turning south and curling down through the jungles of Assam, past the Khasi Hills, and into Bengal, past Sirinjani and Madaripur, until the hard water of the melting snows mingles with the soft drainage of fields and at length fans out to meld with the teeming salt depths of the Bay of Bengal.

Let us look in on one of these nerve centers -- SAC at Omaha -- and see what must still happen before a wing of B-52 bombers could drop their Aj.

To obtain clear impression of mold, press clay gently but firmly into mold cavity, starting at center and working to outer edges.

Straight vertical edges, such as those at the back seam of a sock, can be woven together invisibly.

When the whole bottom has hardened, use a disk sander to feather the edges of the cloth at the keel line and near the spray rail.

Then during washing, the greasy soil rolls back at the edges so that emulsified droplets can disengage themselves from the sorbed oil mass, with the aid of mechanical action, and enter the aqueous phase.

Mark the specimen at the outer edges of the template with pen and indelible ink ; ;

Two criticisms of this generally admirable and fascinating book involve the treatment of wartime diplomacy which is jagged at the edges -- there is no mention of the Potsdam Conference or the Morgenthau Plan.

She stared at the pale tracings on the tree, hearing her breath refracted from it, her face close and touching at time the rough edges of the bark.

His voice had sharp edges, as though he knew very well Lucy and he were not friends at the moment.

Following each individual brick should be a layer of adobe mortar, recommended to be at least an inch thick to make certain there is ample strength between the brick ’ s edges and also to provide a relative moisture barrier during the seasons where the arid climate does produce rain.

Objects wrap around screen edges – for instance, an asteroid that drifts off the top edge of the screen reappears at the bottom and continues moving in the same direction.

Many GA-style guitars also have a convex back panel to increase the volume of space in the soundbox without making the soundbox deeper at the edges, which would affect comfort and playability.

More recent research, however, shows that in protostomes the edges of the dent close up in the middle, leaving openings at the ends which become the mouth and anus.

The net is 1. 55 metres ( 5 ft 1 inch ) high at the edges and 1. 524 metres ( 5 ft ) high in the centre.

* In-degree of a node is the number of edges arriving at that node.

Also called the " caesium chloride structure ", this structural motif is composed of a primitive cubic lattice with a two-atom basis, each with an eightfold coordination ; the chloride atoms lie upon the lattice points at the edges of the cube, while the caesium atoms lie in the holes in the center of the cubes.

A cuboctahedron has 12 identical vertices, with two triangles and two squares meeting at each, and 24 identical edges, each separating a triangle from a square.

Years after this explanation was dismissed, Albert Einstein showed that the two pressures do not cancel out exactly at the edges of the vanes because of the temperature difference there.

The Milton Loch interpretation is of a small islet surrounded or defined at its edges by timber piles and a gangway, topped by a typical Iron Age roundhouse.

The parallel, straight edges of any object, whether a building or a table, will follow lines that eventually converge at infinity.

But the emergence of the term " folk " coincided with an " outburst of national feeling all over Europe " that was particularly strong at the edges of Europe, where national identity was most asserted.

This graph is planar ( it is important to note that we are talking about the graphs that have some limitations according to the map they are transformed from only ): it can be drawn in the plane without crossings by placing each vertex at an arbitrarily chosen location within the region to which it corresponds, and by drawing the edges as curves that lead without crossing within each region from the vertex location to each shared boundary point of the region.

Euler's formula relating the number of edges, vertices, and faces of a convex polyhedron was studied and generalized by Cauchy and L ' Huillier, and is at the origin of topology.
