I was standing with a crowd of pilgrims pressing their hands or banners to the grating around Imam Ali's tomb when I was pushed aside by men bearing a wooden coffin under an embroidered cloth.
Since moving to the city, I've been shocked at the amount of dog poo on the pavements, squished into gratings, dolloped generously around trees, washed into a greasy bouillon by the rain.
The soft, round gnudi, the ricotta's young milkiness given depth by gratings of aged graviera from Crete, are piled around and around with pine nuts, crumbled feta, heaps of spinach and sun-dried tomatoes.
For each trial, dyad members viewed two brief intervals, on which six contrast gratings were presented simultaneously around a central fixation point.
On this raw night, a few of these women were wearing, basically, handkerchiefs; unshivering, they stepped neatly on their pinpoint stilettos around the subway gratings without looking down.
Turn-around point long period fiber gratings (TAP-LPFG) are designed by simulations and fabricated by CO2 laser point-to-point irradiations.
The optomotor response test is based on the ability of mice to respond reflexively to computer-generated rotating sine-wave gratings, which form a virtual cylinder around them (Prusky et al., 2004).
First some important parameters are optimized for the structural design of a polymer arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer around the central wavelength of 1.55 μm with the wavelength spacing of 1.6 nm.
Based on the transmission theory, parameter optimization is performed, and effects of fabrication errors on transmission characteristics are analyzed for a 33×33 polymer arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer around the central wavelength of 1550.918 nm with the wavelength spacing of 0.8 nm.
