Tire size can be determined in several ways but the one that is the easiest and as accurate as any is by measuring the effective radius of a wheel and tire assembly.

This is true because of savings in utility lines and the fact that your buildings have a useful radius equal in all directions.

If A is the major axis of an ellipsoid and B and C are the other two axes, the radius of curvature in the ab plane at the end of the axis Af, and the difference in pressure along the A and B axes is Af.

If one assumes that the average flux did not change between measurements, a mass-distribution curve is obtained which relates the flux of particles larger than a given radius to the inverse 7/2 power of the radius.

The radius is calculated from the mass by assuming spheres of density Af except for the smallest particles, which must have a higher mass density to remain in the solar system in the presence of solar-radiation pressure.

Therefore, N is inversely proportional to the radius cubed and in fair agreement with the inverse 7/2 power derived from 1958 Alpha and 1959 Eta data.

This measure is the ratio of the length of a circular arc by its radius.

An equivalent definition is the radius of an unperturbed circular Newtonian orbit about the Sun of a particle having infinitesimal mass, moving with an angular frequency of radians per day ; or that length such that, when used to describe the positions of the objects in the Solar System, the heliocentric gravitational constant ( the product GM < sub >☉</ sub >) is equal to ()< sup > 2 </ sup > AU < sup > 3 </ sup >/ d < sup > 2 </ sup >.

According to Archimedes in the Sandreckoner ( 2. 1 ), Aristarchus of Samos estimated the distance to the Sun to be 10, 000 times the Earth's radius ( the true value is about 23, 000 ).

The color of amethyst has been demonstrated to result from substitution by irradiation of trivalent iron ( Fe < sup > 3 +</ sup >) for silicon in the structure, in the presence of trace elements of large ionic radius, and, to a certain extent, the amethyst color can naturally result from displacement of transition elements even if the iron concentration is low.

It's noteworthy that this record's peak emittance black-body wavelength of 6, 400 kilometers is roughly the radius of Earth.

On the plane the most common alternative is polar coordinates, where every point is represented by its radius r from the origin and its angle θ.

The equation x < sup > 2 </ sup > + y < sup > 2 </ sup > = r < sup > 2 </ sup > is the equation for any circle with a radius of r.

If the pencil with the angle u2 is that of the maximum aberration of all the pencils transmitted, then in a plane perpendicular to the axis at O ' 1 there is a circular disk of confusion of radius O ' 1R, and in a parallel plane at O ' 2 another one of radius O ' 2R2 ; between these two is situated the disk of least confusion.

This distance replaces the angle u in the preceding considerations ; and the aperture, i. e. the radius of the entrance pupil, is its maximum value.

It is possible, although highly doubtful, that he killed none at all but merely let his reputation work for him by privately claiming every unsolved murder in the state.

Actually, only two men know what the formula is, Blake and '' -- He stopped and looked at Thor's body.

The artist looks at an ankle, a calf, a bosom and, in his mind's eye, the clothes drop away and he sees her as she really is.

Meredith was irritated when the Grafin knocked at his door and told him, `` She is a great beauty!!

`` That tub is going to explode all at once ''.

But there is no use causing him to worry at this time ''.

since Bourbon whiskey, though of Kentucky origin, is at least as much favored by liberals in the North as by conservatives in the South.

This is puzzling to an outsider conscious of the classic tradition of liberalism, because it is clear that these Democrats who are left-of-center are at opposite poles from the liberal Jefferson, who held that the best government was the least government.

A third, one of at least equal and perhaps even greater importance, is now being traversed: American immersion and involvement in world affairs.

It is one of the ironic quirks of history that the viability and usefulness of nationalism and the territorial state are rapidly dissipating at precisely the time that the nation-state attained its highest number ( approximately 100 ).

Already accidental war is a silent guest at the discussions within the Kennedy Administration about the urgency of disarmament and nearly all other questions of national security.

They include the Navy's Atlantic Command at Norfolk, Virginia, which is in contact with the Polaris subs ; ;

Others are confined to vast reservations, and not only does the Australian government justifiably not wish them to be viewed as exhibits in a zoo, but on their reservations they are extremely fugitive, shunning camps, coming together only for corroborees at which their strange culture comes to its highest pitch -- which is very low indeed.

Idje, here '', and he nodded at the man, `` is said to have great odor.

Nowhere in Isfahan is this rich aesthetic life of the Persians shown so well as during the promenade at the Khaju bridge.

Here, on the hottest day, it is cool beneath the stone and fresh from the water flowing in the sluices at the bottom of the vaults.

And it is expressed, at least to their taste, in a perfect form.

That, at any rate, is what happens at the Khaju bridge.

It is said that, even at the present stage of Southern urbanization, such a city as Atlanta is not distinctly unlike Columbus or Trenton.

We are desperately in the need of such invention, for man is still very much at the mercy of man.

That, I thought, is at least one thing I can find out when we meet.

But it is different at Chartres.

It is also possible, but equally doubtful, that he actually shot down the hundreds of men with which his legend credits him.

Let me pass over the trip to Sante Fe with something of the same speed which made Mrs. Roebuck `` wonduh if the wahtahm speed limit '' ( 35 m.p.h. ) `` is still in ee-faket ''.

The place is inhabited by several hundred warlike women who are anachronisms of the Twentieth Century -- stone age amazons who live in an all-female, matriarchal society which is self-sufficient ''.

It is the last of the three tests of manhood which the women impose, to discover if a male is worthy of survival there.

It took thirty of our women almost six moons to build this one, which is higher and stronger than the old one.

`` I'd like to know just which it is that those guys don't understand, the liquor or automobiles ''.

The woman eyed the youth with the avidity a coin collector might display toward a rare doubloon which is not yet in his collection.

It is these other differences between North and South -- other, that is, than those which concern discrimination or social welfare -- which I chiefly discuss herein.

It became the sole `` subject '' of `` international law '' ( a term which, it is pertinent to remember, was coined by Bentham ), a body of legal principle which by and large was made up of what Western nations could do in the world arena.

Of greater importance, however, is the content of those programs, which have had and are having enormous consequences for the American people.

Recognizing that the Rule of Law is `` a dynamic concept which should be employed not only to safeguard the civil and political rights of the individual in a free society '', the Congress asserted that it also included the responsibility `` to establish social, economic, educational and cultural conditions under which his legitimate aspirations and dignity may be realized ''.

For better or for worse, we all now live in welfare states, the organizing principle of which is collective responsibility for individual well-being.

That is particularly true of sovereignty when it is applied to democratic societies, in which `` popular '' sovereignty is said to exist, and in federal nations, in which the jobs of government are split.
