CLF's laser, called Vulcan, is the most powerful laser in the world: it can focus 500 joules of energy (about the same required to lift 50 apples by 10m) into a laser burst just 40 femtoseconds (40 x 10-15) long - equivalent to one second in a million years.
The Second Avenue subway, for instance, has had several groundbreakings over the better part of a century, including one in recent weeks, and bits and pieces of tunnel, built and abandoned, were long the equivalent of unused wine cellars.
While the capital will see new trains running on Crossrail and Thameslink lines, a recent paper found that the speed of trains between Leeds and Manchester is as it was 150 years ago, taking nearly twice as long as equivalent distances in the south (such as Reading to London).
He likes the main corridors of his shopping malls to be no more than a thousand feet long — the equivalent of about three city blocks — because he believes that three blocks is about as far as peak shopping interest can be sustained, and as he walked he explained the logic behind what retailers like to call "adjacencies".
The 'Free vibration of shells' and 'Flutter of very long shells (equivalent beam model)' subsections comprise verification of results with previous works.
But during the winter months, this meandering waterway freezes over and one section becomes the Rideau Canal Skateway, the world's largest skating rink at 7.8 kilometres long, the equivalent surface area of 90 Olympic hockey rinks.
Systems being tested now have a range of 750 feet and share data packets 140 bytes long (the equivalent of a few typed sentences) every tenth of a second.
This study proposes an acceptable temperature increase to 1370 °C as long as equivalent cladding reacted calculated by the Cathcart Pawel equation is below 13%, after an extensive literature review.
Theorem 4: The set of absorbing states in the best-response process and the set of Nash equilibria of the static game are asymptotically (in the long run) equivalent.
Nonsuppressor strain Canton-S had a long NCR equivalent to that of the reference sequence, with five copies of repeat I, whereas all other strains tested had a shorter NCR (three copies of repeat I, Figure S4), regardless of whether they were suppressors or nonsuppressors.
