A control system may be operated by electricity, by mechanical means, by fluid pressure (liquid or gas), or by a combination of means.
Earthquake-resistant structures absorb and dissipate seismically induced motion through a combination of means: damping decreases the amplitude of oscillations of a vibrating structure, while ductile materials (e.g., steel) can withstand considerable inelastic deformation.
They did so through a combination of means: sexual reproduction or intermarriage with whites; migration to remote frontier areas, where race-based institutions were often less formal than in more settled areas; and property accumulation, which allowed them to become valued members of white society.
Since all bounds will be given as a combination of means from the Stolarsky class, here is its definition.
Electricity is generated by a combination of means, including hydroelectric, wind, solar, nuclear, and coal-fired power plants.
In addition, they suggest that a combination of means, including a lack of product patents in India over older drugs, voluntary licenses by brand companies, and non-enforcement of patents have encouraged generic production of patented drugs.
The combination of mean stem volume and number of stems provides stand-level volume estimates.
The observed sea level can be considered as a combination of mean sea level, tidal wave, and storm surge.
A bivariate Weibull distribution is adopted to model the probability of breakdown as a function of the combination of mean speed and occupancy of the incoming traffic.
As this study uses hourly-observed sea-level data, storm surge in this article refers to the combination of mean sea level, tidal wave, and storm surge.
From the engineering point of view, the specimens with mean pore size of 1.5 mm possess good combination of mean plateau strength and energy absorption characteristics under the present conditions.
