In one hair-raising passage, four trombones slide up and down intervals of a minor third, beginning on E-flat minor, the unofficial key of death.
Another approach to manipulating the subject is melodic inversion, in which the up and down intervals of the subject are exactly reversed; for example, if the subject moves upward a whole tone (as from g to a), the inversion moves downward a whole tone (as from g to f).
As shown in Figure 2, irrespective of the type of node, when it receives an ABM, the node first checks if the cooling-down interval of the previous ABM has expired.
Down at the water's edge, at the place where they haul up the boats, up the long ramp descending into the water, thin silver tree trunks are laid horizontally across the gray stones, down and down at intervals of four or five feet.
Carey, in fact, rarely dropped down full octaves: instead, she frequently came down intervals of 3rds and 6ths (texturally compensated with light melismas), and the occasional bluesy 4th/flat-5th (as in the chorus of "Hero").
Each bombards the other with microwaves calibrating the distance between them down to intervals of less than the width of a human hair.
At last, in a recent published study, meta-analysis was performed on populations involving different species related to bread wheat to narrow-down the interval of a QTL controlling the nitrogen use efficiency [ 52].
A purple leaf sheath gene, PSH1 (t), was narrowed down to an interval of 23.5 kb on chromosome 1 encompassing 6 candidate genes after high resolution of linkage mapping.
Such type of approach can be useful to further narrow down the genetic interval of already identified QTLs.
Based on the genotypes of almost 6000 animals, we identified two bulls with a recombination within the 260-kb Friesian haplotype and narrowed this haplotype down to an interval of 53 kb on BTA1.
In the second stage, spectral bisection for large-scale problems is realized using a sparse direct linear solver to narrow down the interval of the k-th eigenvalue.
