As the tropical night came on fast and dark, a small mechanic from a nearby quarry upended himself in the engine cavity, only his legs visible.
In the dog-eat-dog world of auto servicing, it's nice these guys are looking out for the two most important people in the equation: the small mechanic and, more important, the consumer.
Lily grew impatient with his inability to cope with "the small mechanics of life" — dealing with unpaid bills, frequent gas leaks, mice, quarreling neighbors — and infuriated by his lack of enthusiasm for her dream of buying a house of her own.
Compression testing of micro-pillars has recently been of great interest to the small-scale mechanics community.
Due to the hierarchical architecture of these systems, the methodology for extraction of mechanical parameters at the molecular and supramolecular scale requires special considerations regarding design of mechanical test apparatus, sample preparation and testing, data analysis, and interpretation of X-ray structural information in terms of small-scale mechanics.
People are often most accountable to other people, and nothing bonds humans more deeply than a shared struggle against a common adversity — be it weight loss, drug addiction, an obstacle course filled with electrified wire, or a hostile enemy force trying to kill you – this is why the small group mechanic plays such an important part in Weight Watchers, AA, Tough Mudder, and the military.
For a small fee, mechanics would install a new key ignition on the spot.
A few physicists argued that string theory, by having this particle built into its fundamental structure, had united the laws of the large (general relativity) and the laws of the small (quantum mechanics).
Measuring the uniaxial creep response from nanoindentation has been of great interest to the small scale mechanics community.
Small markets, mechanics, pharmacies, and brothels were among the many places of business.
Textbook wisdom once held that quantum mechanics ruled the small world, classical mechanics the large.
