But Home Depot, a Dow component, slipped $1.13, to $42.88.
Merck, a Dow component, slipped 14 cents, to $31.26, after it missed Wall Street forecasts because of charges related to the withdrawal of its arthritis drug Vioxx from the market.
Before the open Verizon Communications reported a decent fourth quarter, but despite better-than-expected revenue and profits, the Dow component slipped $1.40, or 4.5%, to $29.59.
The Dow component Philip Morris slipped 5/8, to 24 3/8, after a Miami jury ordered the cigarette maker to pay $73.96 billion for injuring Florida smokers in the landmark Engle sick-smokers trial.
Major components of slip are dextral or reverse when offsets are positive and negative, respectively (see text for details).
Along the northern edge of the Majella anticline, in a large quarry originally excavated by ancient Romans, we studied the deformation mechanisms and internal architectures of faults characterized by both normal and lateral components of slip.
Analysis of the results show no significant influence of the three components on slip viscosity and green tape density, but joint influence of two factors binder polyvinyl butyral (PVB) and plasticizer polyethylene glycol (PEG is significant on green tape adhesion to the substrate tape of casting machine.
This mechanism is a strike-slip type with a slight component of reverse slip.
The rake angle of the F4 segment was estimated to be 237° including large normal-slip component, though pure right-lateral slips were estimated for other segments.
Yagi and Fukahata (2011a, b) show that if we neglect the data covariance components, the slip-rate distribution is distorted by modeling errors originated from the uncertainty of Green's function.
