All speak this language fluently, some from memory, others from lifetimes spent mainlining The Baseball Encyclopedia and the backs of baseball cards.
Remarks like that one, from old and young, from men calloused from lifetimes spent stevedoring to unemployed youngsters playing at open-air pool tables, reflect a perception of something frequently debated in war colleges in the United States.
Back when he practiced psychiatry and tried to rescue a handful of umbrellas — I mean, people — from lifetimes lost inside a cavernous and, in Busner's eyes, concentration-camp-like mental institution.
Activation energies derived from lifetimes and test temperatures were calculated to identify key failure mechanisms within these complex coating systems.
Examples were also presented that indicated how far experimentally determined residual axle lifetimes could still differ from lifetimes calculated using current fracture mechanics modelling techniques.
Mean lifetimes 〈 τ〉 were obtained from lifetimes τ i and fractional intensities f i according to the equation [ 23]: (2) 〈 τ 〉 = ∑ α i · τ i, where α i, the preexponential factor for a multiexponential decay law, was determined as (3) α i = f i / τ i ∑ f i / τ i.
