Its importance in physics is the result of its being the solution to the differential equation describing forced resonance.

Its name comes from the information path in the system: process inputs ( e. g., voltage applied to an electric motor ) have an effect on the process outputs ( e. g., speed or torque of the motor ), which is measured with sensors and processed by the controller ; the result ( the control signal ) is " fed back " as input to the process, closing the loop.

Its superiority over earlier treatments was rapidly recognized, with the result that there was little interest in preserving the earlier ones, and they are now nearly all lost.

Its particular flavor and aroma are the result of the mixture of sea and mountain air and wood burned during the drying process.

This climate is influenced by the monsoons originating from the South Atlantic ocean, which is brought into the country by the ( maritime tropical ) MT airmass, a warm moist sea to land seasonal wind. Its warmth and high humidity gives it a strong tendency to ascend and produce copious rainfall, which is a result of the condensation of water vapour in the rapidly rising air.

Its invasion is as a result of the northward retreat, of the tropical continental airmass ( CT ) known as the harmattan.

Its extent varied in places as a result of subsequent improvements to the fortifications and is depicted differently on the various maps.

Its large size is partly a result of using negative hydrogen ions rather than protons.

Its rotation combines two separate periodic motions into a non-periodic result ; to someone on the surface of Toutatis, the Sun would seem to rise and set in apparently random locations and at random times at the asteroid's horizon.

Its significance as a suburb derived mostly from the upper-middle class development of entire communities in the late 19th century, and the rapid population growth that occurred as a result.
