Conversely the use of true brass seems to have declined in Western Europe during this period in favour of gunmetals and other mixed alloys but by the end of the first Millennium AD brass artefacts are found in Scandinavian graves in Scotland, brass was being used in the manufacture of coins in Northumbria and there is archaeological and historical evidence for the production of brass in Germany and The Low Countries areas rich in calamine ore which would remain important centres of brass making throughout the medieval period, especially Dinant – brass objects are still collectively known as dinanterie in French.

Conversely, if the firm is able to get bulk discounts of an input, then it could have economies of scale in some range of output levels even if it has decreasing returns in production in that output range.

Conversely, the vacuum brake had the advantage of gradual release long before the Westinghouse automatic air brake, which was originally only available in the direct-release form still common in freight service.

Conversely, exposure to a single-gender environment, such as a single-sex school, prison, or military service, could bring one's latent homosexuality to the surface.

Conversely, some airports which call themselves international airports, especially in smaller United States cities, in fact have no scheduled international airline passenger service but do have customs and immigration facilities serving charter, cargo and general aviation flights.

Conversely, the Docklands Light Railway in London, Green Line in Los Angeles and some metro lines in China are referred to as " Light Rail " even though they qualify as rapid transit because they are fully grade-separated and provide a high frequency of service.

Conversely, developed countries, most economically developed countries ( MEDCs ), First World nations and " industrialized nations " are the opposite end of the spectrum.

Conversely, generation length has changed little and remains in the low 20s in less developed nations.

Conversely, the plate showing the coins of the world's important nations quickly proved to be ephemeral.

Conversely there are often negative feelings towards the veterans of foreign nations held long after the war is over ; for example towards the German Nazi soldiers, yet they are no less veterans of war than those of the winning side.

Conversely, he is considered by some Latin Americans as a champion for the rights of smaller nations against the imperialism of more powerful neighbors.

Conversely, Lenin defined imperialism as " the highest stage of capitalism ", the era in which monopoly finance capital becomes dominant, forcing nations and corporations to compete for control over resources and markets all over the world.

Conversely, some nations that issued hero titles were not affiliated with the Soviet Union or communism.

Conversely, experimenters would consider as impressive such statements as the following, which, if they turned out to be hits, are so unusual as to be really significant:

Conversely, the vowel marks of the Tigrinya abugida and the Amharic abugida ( ironically, the original source of the term " abugida ") have been so completely assimilated into their consonants that the modifications are no longer systematic and have to be learned as a syllabary rather than as a segmental script.

Conversely, most heat-treatable alloys are precipitation hardening alloys, which produce the opposite effects that steel does.

Conversely, most realists ( specifically, indirect realists ) hold that perceptions or sense data are caused by mind-independent objects.

Conversely, many fighter aircraft, such as the F-16, are often used as ' bomb trucks ,' despite being designed for aerial combat.

Conversely, the Belgian Blue's meat tenderness has been argued to be just as tender because there are a large number of smaller muscle fibers.

Conversely, because space is expanding, and more distant objects are receding ever more quickly, light emitted by us today may never " catch up " to very distant objects.

Conversely, certain general principles ( for example, neighbourliness, or charity ) are seen to be universal and consistent.

Conversely, modern biological sciences ( including even concepts such as molecular ecology ) are intimately entwined and dependent on the methods developed through biotechnology and what is commonly thought of as the life sciences industry.

Conversely beetles are prey of various invertebrates and vertebrates including insects, fish, reptiles, birds and mammals.

Conversely, factors that favor plate columns are: presence of solids in feed, high liquid rates, large column diameters, complex columns, columns with wide feed composition variation, columns with a chemical reaction, absorption columns, columns limited by foundation weight tolerance, low liquid rate, large turn-down ratio and those processes subject to process surges.

Conversely, computer implementations are significant in applying ideas from discrete mathematics to real-world problems, such as in operations research.

Conversely, there are other stars that never rise above the horizon, as seen from any given point on the Earth's surface ( except exactly on the equator ).

Conversely, Harris maintains that the fact-value distinction is a confusion, proposing that values are really a certain kind of fact.

If neither A nor B includes the idea of existence, then " some A are B " simply adjoins A to B. Conversely, if A or B do include the idea of existence in the way that " triangle " contains the idea " three angles equal to two right angles ", then " A exists " is automatically true, and we have an ontological proof of A's existence.

Conversely, the tiny meson mass mass differences responsible for meson oscillations are often expressed in the more convenient inverse picoseconds.

Conversely, in functional code, the output value of a function depends only on the arguments that are input to the function, so calling a function f twice with the same value for an argument x will produce the same result f ( x ) both times.

Conversely, the bodies of people who had certain medical conditions are useful for research into those conditions.

Conversely, if the data are sparse — that is, if only K out of N Fourier coefficients are nonzero — then the complexity can be reduced to O ( K log N log ( N / K )), and this has been demonstrated to lead to practical speedups compared to an ordinary FFT for N / K > 32 in a large-N example ( N = 2 < sup > 22 </ sup >) using a probabilistic approximate algorithm ( which estimates the largest K coefficients to several decimal places ).

Conversely, rifle bullets can pierce light armor and are easier to shoot accurately, but even a carbine such as the Colt M4 is larger and / or longer than a submachine gun, making it harder to maneuver in close quarters.

Conversely, if either of these last two expressions is defined, then so is the other ( and again they are equal ).
