A randomization of `` ups '' and `` downs '' is more likely than ordered `` ups '' and `` downs '' in position ( 3 ) since the hydrogen atoms are well separated and so the position of one could hardly affect the position of another, and also since ordered `` up '' and `` down '' implies a larger unit cell, for which no evidence exists.

Preliminary data from 1959 Eta give an average impact rate of Af for masses larger than Af for about 1000 events in a 22-day period ( LaGow and Alexander, 1960 ).

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.

With detectors sensitive to three mass intervals and based on a few counts, the second and third Russian space probes indicate that the flux of the smallest particles detected is less than that of larger ones.

The solar-electromagnetic- and corpuscular-radiation pressure and the associated Poynting-Robertson effect increase in effectiveness as the particle size decreases and modify the distribution and limit sizes to larger than a few microns.

When a word represents a larger construction of which it is the only expressed part, it normally has more stress than it would have in fully expressed construction.

Tone systems are certainly more complex than the number of units would suggest, and often analytically more difficult than much larger consonantal systems.

Finally, since the public requires some restraint on the part of the companies, larger wage increases call for less than proportionately larger price increases ( e.g., if a wage increase of 5% allows a price increase of 7%, a wage increase of 10% allows a price increase of something less than 14% ).

As was typical of Caesar he gambled and began discreetly thinning his already depleted ranks of men then repositioned them as a fourth line to support his cavalry against the inevitable assault by the much larger Pompeian cavalry.

These shoals were too shallow to permit passage of larger warships, and so Brueys ordered his thirteen ships of the line to form up in a line of battle following the northeastern edge of the shoals to the south of the island, a position that allowed the ships to disembark supplies from their port side while covering the landings with their starboard batteries.

It provides a service between smaller communities along the line, and also connections with long-distance services at interchange stations located at junctions or at larger towns along the line.

Although there is a downward population curve, explained by a larger death than birth rate, as well as a larger number of emigrants than immigrants, the line graph of the natural population increase shows the rate of population decrease was slowly diminishing.

Each league used a different approach: Canadian football, which adopted the forward pass and the end zones in 1929 ( far later than the Americans ), merely appended 20-to 25-yard end zones to the ends of the existing 110-yard field, leaving the goal posts on the goal line and creating a much larger field of play.

Clusters are larger than groups, although there is no sharp dividing line between the two.

This became a major feature of the Game Boy line, since it allowed each new launch to begin with a significantly larger library than any of its competitors.

The smaller models in the System / 360 line ( e. g. the 360 / 30 ) were intended to replace the 1400 series while providing an easier upgrade path to the larger 360s.

Each line, if its warhead were live, represents the potential explosive power of about 375 kiloton s of TNT, about twelve times larger than the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki | detonation of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima.

The smaller Familia line in particular became very important to Mazda's worldwide sales after 1973, as did the somewhat larger Capella series.

While the dividing line between machine pistols and compact submachine guns is hard to draw, the term " submachine gun " usually refers to larger automatic firearms scaled down from a full-sized machine gun to fire handgun rounds, while the term " machine pistol " usually refers to a weapon built up from a semi-automatic pistol design.

Among major structural elements used in poetry are the line, the stanza or verse paragraph, and larger combinations of stanzas or lines such as cantos.

So instead, Digital used their existing line of logic modules to build a Programmable Data Processor and aimed it at a market which could not afford the larger computers.

There are no railways in Réunion, with the exception of a short tourist line, which was originally part of a larger rail network.

The third generation embraces the car based SUV, and leaves behind the older wagon design ; it's larger in nearly every dimension, taller, and features a sloping roof line with more cargo space.

The larger the absolute value of a slope, the steeper the line.

The resulting current is transmitted along the telephone line to the local exchange then on to the other phone ( via the local exchange or via a larger network ), where it passes through the coil of the receiver ( A3 ).

The larger the angle to the normal, the smaller is the fraction of light transmitted, until the angle at which total internal reflection ( blue line ) occurs.

The stack generally lines up in the middle of the field, thereby opening up two lanes along the sidelines for cuts, although a captain may occasionally call for the stack to line up closer to one sideline, leaving open just one larger cutting lane on the other side.
