These deviations may be manifested in the form of an accelerating instead of a decelerating wave.

•

Under such circumstances, the two donor atoms on the same chelate molecule coordinate with different metal atoms rather than with one; thus, a polymeric chain may result rather than [or (and) not] a ring structure.

•

Since the various types of microscope supply different kinds of information, they complement each other rather than competing.

•

That means that the laser beam is elliptical instead of round.

•

The resulting F-band is dependent upon the particular alkali halide used, not upon the alkali metal vapour.

 In this case the process probably involves fatigue rather than abrasion.

 However, in practice, the measured strains are in a numerical form other than a smooth function.

 The partial dislocations are separated by stacking-fault, instead of an antiphase boundary.

 The choice of a finite difference technique (versus finite element) provides some advantage in this way.

 Thus the nickel-base superalloys become creep limited by local crack initiation and not total rupture.

 Thus the Young modulus not annealed surface hardness was definitely shown to be the controlling parameter.

 The distorted signal is judged to be the result of limitation of the capacitance measuring system, vis-a-vis film rupture.
