Defining word

Of other tests which are sometimes applied to high explosives, mention should be made of the tests for brisance. Brisance is an ill-defined word, best described by saying that an explosive of high brisance, when fired unconfined on a steel plate, will bend or shatter that plate more effectively than an explosive of low brisance. The Hess and Kast tests for brisance depend on this property, using the deformation of a metal cylinder by the explosive as a measure of the property. In most countries these tests are now little used. 

The passages in this section are the final test of your reading comprehension skills. They test your ability to read large blocks of text, define words in context, and respond to questions about content. 

This dictionary, which defines words according to their American usage, is a shorter and easier dictionary to handle and use than the Oxford English Dictionary. 

Similarly, they define words and provide examples according to standard American usage. 

Theorem 2. A necessary and sufficient conditionfor an OA(n, 2f, 2) with f >4 to have the property that the main effects and two-factor interactions can be estimated in all projections onto four factors is that it has no defining words of length three or four. 

Again, a 12-run Plackett-Burman design has the four-factor hidden projection property stated in Theorem 2 because it has no defining words of length three or four. On the other hand, it is not possible for a regular design to have the same property unless it is of resolution five. 

What happens if n is a multiple of 8 Cheng (1995) showed that, if the widely held conjecture is true that a Hadamard matrix exists for every order that is a multiple of 4, then for every n that is a multiple of 8, one can always construct an OA(n, 2, 2) that has defining words of length three or four. Such designs are not of projectivity 3, a fact also pointed out by Box and Tyssedal (1996), and do not have the desirable hidden projection properties mentioned above. However, this does not mean that, when n is a multiple of 8, there are no OA( ,. 2)s with good... 

Psychosis is a loosely defined word that reflects in its broadest sense a loss of touch with reality. At least in the extreme, hallucinations and delusions are the hallmarks. At its worst, perhaps, psychosis becomes a living nightmare, in which the individual s mental processes resemble a solipsistic, terrifying nightmare from which the person cannot be fully awakened. The individual becomes so withdrawn and preoccupied with these highly personal and irrational processes that no one can reach him. 

Formal testing showed that the patient could not recall the names of three objects diat he had seen five minutes earlier, or repeat a story that was told to him. However, the patient could perform simple calculations, define words and concepts, and find similarities and... 

Therefore it is often necessary to define words within a project context, practically as part of the project procedures, especially when multicultural interfaces are involved. Words which require particular care include those used to define the performance parameters of plant and equipment, such as normal , design , and maximum (we will return to this subject), and those which are involved in the relationship with a supplier or sub-contractor, such as approval . Procure-mentrelated vocabulary definitions are a standard part of general conditions of purchase and contract the project engineer should review such definitions and their adequacy before proceeding with... 

Establish a Questioning/Leaming Environment are the defining words in this element of Guidehnes for Risk Based Process Safety (KBPS) [9]. However, the words Cohaborate Learning were used to describe this same feature in Orchestrate an Effective Safety Culture - a 2012 DuPont article [14]. 

The end of a multi-paragraph example is indicated by a black diamond . The end of a proof is indicated by a quad . Emphasized and defined words are in italics. 

Definition It is important to define words or terms, as well as abbreviations, in order to ensure that proper communication exists. Many times there can be more than one definition in order to meet different requirements as setup by different organizations, industries, legal documents, etc. In fact the definitions could have opposite or completely different meanings. 

The internal structure of a full-text database is significantly different from that of other types such as relational (row/column/table-oriented) or object-oriented databases. The domain of a full-text database is the indexing and storage of large amounts of textual data. Indexes based on words occurring in the text corpus, proximity operators to locate phrases and close spatial relationships between words, and probabilistic thesauri to define word, concept, and content clusters are important characteristics of this type of database. See Bibliographic Database Object-oriented Database Object-Relational Database Relational Database and Textual Database. 

The reasons for the choice of the defining words should then also be obvious Electrochemomechanical implies an applied potential which leads to a chemical redox, which in turn leads to a mechanical deformation. Electrochemomechanical in our context is then simply a short form for electrochemomechanical. And Chemomechanical implies we skip the electrical (applied potential) step and effect redox of the CP by direct chemical means.
