David Rees credits a 1940 shipfitters' manual as inspiration for "How to Sharpen Pencils," his stupefyingly exhaustive guide to the art, science and artisanal pleasures of manually shaping a thin graphite column encased in a 6.75-inch-long wooden tube to a satisfactorily sharp point for writing, drawing, doodling or inserting up a nostril.
While it's still possible to manually shape your feed with the "See First" button, many people passively rely on the site for much of their information about the world.
A bit of a misnomer, a knitting machine is actually entirely hand operated and requires the user to manually shape the fabric and change yarn colors, much like a traditional weaving loom.
Therefore, intraoperative manual shaping and bending of the premade TM according to the individual defect is necessary, which is manually challenging and time-consuming [14, 15].
The printed profiles are traced on thin pieces of softwood and are cut and shaped manually using common tools to form section templates.
Fig. 5 The particle analysis of iron oxide whiskers by the developed program: (a) automatically identified particles, (b) manually identified and shaped particle contours, (c) example of an area impossible to be analyzed even by the naked eye.
The current method consists of printing CT scan data to produce a three-dimensional stereolithographic model of the maxilla/mandible, on which, preoperatively, the graft material can be shaped manually.
Putative postsynaptic events were detected according to a current threshold, and selected (manually, by shape) before offline analysis (MSpike, D.C. West, UCL School of Pharmacy).
Metals are cut, shaped, bored, bent, and formed by tools and machines operated manually or, increasingly, under the control of computers programmed to guide the necessary operations consistently and with greater precision than can normally be provided by humans.
Donut-shaped mitochondria were manually counted considering the structures with a central hole and a donut diameter >0.8 µm46.
