It's probably the toughest decision in the entire game: turn up your friend's dosage of painkiller to send her into an eternal sleep, or demand that she fights on, a hollow act of betrayal as both characters know there'll be no victory.
The ten-point height criterion is crucial for assessment of scattering losses as both peaks and hollows act as strong scatterers.
The blade is hollow and acts as an inlet valve, closing off the pump from the system when the rotor is at top centre.
He alters its shape and position to make the frequency rise and fall, and because his abdomen is mostly hollow, it acts as a resonance chamber that amplifies the sound and broadcasts it for some distance.
The Ta2O5 hollow spheres act as the supporting model, hindering the aggregation of Co3O4 nanoparticles and possessing more specific surface area.
Furthermore, these hollow structures act as molecular flasks to encapsulate guest molecules and regulate/promote specific reactions; for example, oligomerization of silanetriols and [2+2] intermolecular photodimerization of olefins.
These experiments demonstrate that the CdS hollow microspheres act as an efficient electrode modifier that effectively decreased the charge transfer resistance and capacitance of the modified sensors, which can be used for electroanalytical purposes.
The hollow mostly acted as a depositional zone but only contributed to erosion when it was disturbed by the treatment applications following the fire or during heavy rain following landslide activity in the catchment.
(When the ants move out, the entryways into the hollow thorns act like the holes on a flute--hence the name "whistling thorn").
The hollow probe also acts as a suction tube, to draw out smoke that otherwise would obscure the tiny lens of the endoscopic camera.
