It's a bizarre, occasionally almost Lynchian film, alienated and alienating, interspersed – initially, at any rate – with dream-visions of biblical scenes in the burning sun.
The opposition has come not just from the council, which faced a bill that could be as high as £600 million, but the trade unions, which, initially at any rate, were unenthusiastic about the women's cause.
Propofol was administered initially at a rate of 1 mg.kg-1.min-1 unthe the state entropy value dropped below 60.
Fish were provided four equal feedings per day (08 00, 12 00, 15:00, and 18 00 h), initially at a rate of 1.5% of live weight to ensure that all feed was rapidly consumed.
All animals were adequately resuscitated with lactated Ringer's solution, delivered initially at a rate of 3 mL/kg/hour and adjusted throughout the experimental period to prevent haemoconcentration.
Continuous postoperative lavage of the retroperitoneum was started initially at a rate of 500 1000 ml/h, and progressively decreased, on the basis of the general condition of the patient, inflammatory parameters (C-reactive protein), and the macroscopic aspect of the drain effluent.
Philo, at any rate, initially agreed with Clitomachus that Carneades' ability to maintain something like this critical stance towards all beliefs — his own as well as the theories of his philosophical opponents — represented a paradigm of self-conscious rationality (see Numenius fr. 28).
When a sample consisting of compact mass of the phosphor is deformed impulsively by the impact of a moving piston, then initially the mechanoluminescence intensity increases linearly with time, attains a peak value Im at a particular time tm, and later on it decreases with time, initially at a fast rate and then at a slow rate.
However, when a phosphorescent crystal is fractured impulsively by dropping a load on it, then initially the ML intensity increases linearly with time, attains a maximum value Im at a particular time tm and later on it decreases initially at a fast rate and then at a slow rate.
Melting curve data for each reaction were acquired in a wide range of temperatures (70°C to 95°C), initially at a ramping rate of 0.1°C/sec, and subsequently at a ramping rate of 0.05°C/sec, to allow better resolution of heterozygous samples.
Tullow, together with China's CNOOC and Total of France, will start pumping it next year, initially at a paltry rate of 5,000 barrels a day (b/d).
