Just one look at the handsome gray-shingled inn with a manicured front lawn dotted with white Adirondack chairs, I could feel urban tensions drifting away -- no matter that the day was gray and misty.
China's ban on exports of crucial rare earth minerals, cast by the government as a corporate decision made without state direction, is the most recent example of the tensions this drift toward state control has raised.
A proposed etiology is excess nerve tension from posterior drift of the spinal cord after decompression.
The effects of top tension, drilling platform drift distance, surface current speed, wave height, wave period, wave length, wind speed and damping coefficient on riser lateral displacement, bending moment, and deflection are also discussed.
His 11-week-old son, Caleb, spent yesterday afternoon oblivious to the tension as he drifted in and out of a sleep at his first Knick game.
By about 2% drift, numerous diagonal tension cracks spread over the entire span (Fig. 9d), and most diagonal bars underwent yielding.
In this paper, a seismic design procedure aimed at achieving uniform inter-story drift in multistory tension-only concentrically braced beam-through frames (TOCBBTFs) is presented.
Electronics supplying the prism, drift tube, high-tension reference and critical lenses have been newly designed such that, in combination with the new electron optics, a sub-50 meV energy resolution has been realized, a 10-fold improvement over past post-column spectrometer designs.
The parts — including the silky brushwork of the young lady's face and hands, which poke through the bumpy ground as through a carnival prop — drift, generating no mutual tensions.
In the case of the positive filament tension, one of the main determinants of the drift was the thickness of the myocardial wall and the filament tended to drift to the region of minimal thickness.
