For 45 minutes, the players listened intently, their sounds colliding and fusing as Ms. Burgon gradually raised the oscillator's frequency to the point at which, in theory, the planet's magnetic poles shift alignment.
Because correcting the image shift relies on features within the image (whether they are explicitly placed fiducial markers or parts of the sample), any image blurring will reduce the accuracy of the shift alignment.
To correct retention time variation between runs, we applied an iterative block-shift alignment method [ 67] to produce precisely aligned data with minimal peak distortion (thus preserving quantitative information), resulting in 77 three-way arrays (m/z × time × samples).
As they lay in the tunnel, with the machine banging and clanging as its powerful magnets shifted alignment, the volunteers saw photographs of black and white faces flash by.
United by a passion for soul music, they became the core of a shifting alignment of musicians (including the Mar-Keys, the Bar-Kays, and the Memphis Horns) that acted as the house band for Stax Records, assisting in the creation of countless masterworks by such performers as Otis Redding and Sam and Dave.
President Reagan said Tuesday that "no policy or decision in my mind has ever been influenced by astrology," but a White House spokesman suggested that Mrs. Reagan's interest in the shifting alignment of heavenly bodies had played a role in his scheduling.
Peptide calibrators were used for subsequent time-shift alignment and intensity normalization of the Nano-LC-MALDI MS reconstituted chromatograms.
Changes in TIM protein levels in a subset of clock neurons (type 2 Dorsal Neurons, DN2s, and Lateral Posterior Neurons, LPNs, and, to a lesser extent, type 1 and 3 Dorsal Neurons, DN1s and DN3s) were reported in association with a shifted alignment of simultaneously applied light/dark and temperature cycles [ 31].
Despite similar observed overall performance for β-barrel structures, problems arise with shifted alignments, as they can occur when aligning sequences from remote homologues.
A regime riven by internal conflicts, leery of its constituents, under economic duress, and surrounded by burgeoning anti-authoritarian protest movements offers its own share of pressure points — and a more creative American approach could pay dividends, as shifting alignments among Iran's political class offer opportunities to reshape Iran's priorities.
In East Asian Multilateralism, prominent international foreign affairs scholars examine the range of implications of shifting alignments in East Asia.
