It is on a window sill on the Via Garibaldi, not on a sill of the United States pavilion.
It is a weekday afternoon and she has been touching up a window sill on the porch.
But last Wednesday, in a cold, gray North Atlantic seaway, Goss's worst nightmares were realized when a 45-foot section of the spindly port bow cracked off like an icicle dangling from a sill, on the third day of the boat's maiden trials.
Some additional challenging obstacles mentioned by the participants were poles, recycling bins, sill on the floor, and children.
Results of experiments are compared with the classical hydraulic jump, and significant effect of tall sill on dissipation of energy in shorter distance was confirmed.
The effect of an adjacent sill on the drag characteristics of a single sill and the combined drag of a pair of identical sills are found experimentally.
Those using a human guide ranked very small obstacles and descending stairs while those who did not use a navigation aid rated very small obstacles and sill on the floor as the most difficult to detect.
However, when participants were divided into groups based on whether they used a white cane, human guide or no aid at all, then within each group, the following obstacles were also rated the most difficult to detect: people, sill on the floor, stairs going up.
