"His work, and his colleagues', laid to rest the idea that the brain is fixed in terms of its composition; that's now regarded as nonsense," said James McGaugh, a professor of neurobiology and behavior at the University of California, Irvine.
The thermal boundary conditions used in this study are as follows: At the vertical boundaries of the model box, the temperature depth profile is fixed in terms of time.
Historically, there were also periods of bimetallism, when the gold standard was combined with a silver standard, and currencies were fixed in terms of both gold and silver.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, currencies' values were fixed in terms of gold, which meant that monetary policy could not be used to smooth out swings in demand.

Operational variables used in the simulation, such as reaction temperature, pressure and oxidant excess, have been fixed in terms of experimental results obtained in the pilot plant of the Chemical Engineering Department at the University of Valladolid (Spain).
Due to the nature of high altitude winds, these SST tracks were fixed in terms of their co-ordinates, unlike the North Atlantic Tracks at lower altitudes whose co-ordinates alter daily according to forecast weather patterns (jetstreams).
When prices are falling, debt, which is fixed in nominal terms, becomes more onerous in real terms.
Whereas inflation erodes debt, which is fixed in nominal terms, deflation makes it more onerous in real terms.
IT IS easy to understand why bond markets are vulnerable to inflation, since the value of most bonds is fixed in nominal terms.
