Infinitives split

The basic RFDR element consists of two 7i-pulses each centered in the middle of each rotor period in two consecutive rotor periods leading to a cyclic rf field. In the toggling frame of ideal (i.e., infinitely strong) 7i-pulses, the Hamiltonian of the chemical shift terms and the homonuclear dipolar coupling interaction is split up into three commuting parts ... 

As explained above, one long side of the compartment wall was split into a large number of thin strips and the heat flux to the center of each strip calculated. For a constant heat flux, assuming the wall material to be semi—infinite, the wall surface temperature... 

I do not go out of my way to boldly split infinitives, nor do I actively seek prepositions to end sentences with. Yet by these constructions alone, I may be viewed by some as aiding the decline in students ability to communicate. 

Some infinitives seem to improve on being split, just as a stick of round stovewood does. I cannot bring myself to really like the fellow. The sentence is relaxed, the meaning is clear, the violation is harmless and scarcely perceptible. Put the other way, the sentence becomes stiff, needlessly formal. A matter of ear. 

The contour around the entire RHP is shown in Fig. I3.2a. Let us split it up into three parts C+, the path up the positive imaginary axis from the origin to + oo C,t, the path around the infinitely large semicircle and C, the path back up the negative imaginary axis from — oo to the origin. 

Avoid split infinitives unless needed for clarity. 

Identify the split infinitives in the following sentences. Rewrite each sentence without a split infinitive, unless the change will create unwanted ambiguity.

Infinitives comprise the word to plus the base form of a verb (e.g., to contribute, to indicate, to transfer). A split infinitive occurs when a word (or words) is placed between the two parts of the Infinitive (e.g., to fully investigate, to further complicate). 

Proofreading Tip To avoid infringing upon a traditional rule that is engrained in so many readers minds, it is better not to split infinitives unless doing so minimizes awkwardness and ambiguity.
