Slip knot

Lay the charge and the counterweight parallel to each other about a foot apart and tie the top and bottom ends of the charge to the top and bottom of the counterweight with strong cord and non-slip knots. See Figure 44. 

Fig. 11.6 A slip knot. It is not really a knot, because you can untie it if you just pull the ends. Nevertheless, it is an interesting long lived feature of some proteins. Some data on slip knots in real proteins can be found in the paper J. Sulkowska, P. Sulkowski and J. Onuchic, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA, v. 106, p. 3119, 2009.

The president screams as his head disappears, then his chest and legs. The only part of his body you see is his foot, tied to the rope, and floating several inches off the ground. His disembodied foot dances and finally slips out of the knot. 

You re right. In Flatland, there s no way a line can cross over itself. In fact, a string or a line can only be knotted in 3-D space. And any knot you tied in 3-D space will not stay tied in 4-D space because the additional degree of freedom will cause a knot to slip through itself. You pause. By analogy, in 4-D space, a creature can knot a plane (surface), but this plane won t stay knotted in 5-D space. And the knotted plane cannot be formed in 3-D space. ... 

So neither will the world, the Doctor finished for him. And he watched the Siberian landscape slip by beneath them at a disturbing rate of knots. 

Slip the straw into a small rubber balloon and knot it. To use, follow directions for Type A. 

Nevertheless, thermodynamic reversibility may prove a disadvantage in particular systems. A classic example is provided by the synthesis of individual rotax-anes ( bead on a thread compounds), discussed in detail in Chapter 4. After threading of the macrocyclic bead on to an open-chain component by self-assembly, it has been found desirable to block the reverse (unthreading) pathway by subsequent covalent attachment of branched alkane groups to each end of the thread so that any tendency for separation of the components is blocked. That is, the final covalent step is equivalent to tying a knot in each end of the thread to stop the bead from slipping off. 

Bend end of safety lever upward to form a book. Make a single loop of fuse cord around the center of the grenade body and safety lever. Tie a knot of the non-slip variety at the safety lever. 

Connect the takeoff wire (the wire that is going to the electrolyzer) through the holes in the junction box. If you use grommets, be sure to put those in first. Slip the wire through the box and either make a knot in each wire or use a wire hold of some sort to prevent the wire from being yanked from the terminal screw, from outside the box. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to the negative terminal.

The statement claimed that the Vicryl suture had not broken at the knots, and the knots had not slipped. But the failed suture had been discarded after the operation, making investigation of the evidence impossible, a not uncommon problem in medical negligence cases. 

Under the conditions of shearing stresses within the melt mass the maximum mechanical stress concentrates on the macromolecule middle or in its neighboring but above all on the chemical bonds in the knot regions. One of these possibilities prevails in function of the stress duration, working temperature, probability of the relative slipping of the macromolecules, resistance of the chemical bonds in the polymer main chain. Although the Buech s theory ad-...
