I'd recommend a standing lunch date with Richard Cordray, the agency's first director and someone with sharp antennae for credit irregularities that can serve as early warnings for bubbles.
They point out that wheeled duct climbers can move quickly but "have difficulty overcoming sharp corners or other irregularities" [32] and that the use of rigid joint legs requires heavy actuators to achieve vertical ascent.
One group had chisel-shaped tips, sharp angular corners, and surface irregularities on the micrometer size scale.
Criteria for Pyrogram™ selection were as follows: sufficient peak height of >25 units for a single nucleotide (arbitrary units for light emission calculated by the software), sharp symmetric peaks without any irregularities or side-peaks, and a wide reading length with a high reliability until the end of the sequence.
In big waves, where brute strength and stability become critical factors, his height, combined with his hunkered-down style, seems to work to his advantage: he uses it to lever the long, hard, high-speed turns that big waves avail, and to absorb the sharp, powerful shocks that even small irregularities in the surface transmit at high speed.
This can be explained by the fact that the spatial resolution in the X- Y plane increases when a sharp kernel is used and mild irregularities are included in the segmentation, which increases the measured volume (Fig. 2).
This irregularity is usually corrected and sharp stripe boundaries are formed.
PROSE uses custom fabricated prosthetic devices to improve vision by masking irregularities on the cornea's surface and transmitting a sharp image to the back of the eye.
In addition, each fiber was identified as sharp when the edges of the fibers were smooth or fuzzy when irregularities were observed.
The deal is part of a program by Elan to sell $1.5 billion worth of assets by the end of this year as it deals with a sharp decline in its stock price last year that was set off by accounting irregularities.
