1. Having simulated the reaction we revealed that on being reduced to thermal energies neutrons were readily absorbed by most materials.

2. The principle as applied to light runs that if a luminous body moves towards us the colour of the light seems to shift slightly toward the violet end of the spectrum, the shift depending upon speed.

3. It was but natural that they had to resort to this domain of science when speculating on the nature of the earth.

4. Also sound is the speculation that the electron energy distribution appears to be close to Maxwellian, a property our plasma does not seem to possess in view of the electron heating mechanism.

5. In the main memory speed would be sacrificed to reduce the size and power consumption of the memory elements.

6. Saving the size of the memory cell is to be accomplished through altering the geometry of the superconducting loop (сверхпроводящая петля) and by eliminating the read line (линия считывания).

7. Nearly all common malfunctions of the ignition system have been found to be accompanied by some striking changes in one or more of the electrical parameters constituting the oscillating circuit.

8. Uranus and Neptune though of higher mean density than Jupiter and Saturn have still a sufficiently low density for the proportion of hydrogen to be substantial.

9. Nor can we be sure that in two successive runs we observe the same electron, for the electrons are indistinguishable.

10. Apart from suffering the friction retardation the particles of fluid near the surface were observed to be subjected to a considerable accelerating force.

11. We know rays to converge if focused on a lens.

12. Convincing though the results may be, it is hardly possible to make immediate use of them.

1. The suggestion is made that kinetic activation may obey quantum dynamics, the same amount of energy being released during collisions whatever the force of impact may be, as long as the force exceeds certain critical value.

2. Sensible though these modes have proved in a general case, they also suffer from shortcomings.

3. In each case the symbol if followed by a superscript indicating the valence.

4. In specifying the data it was the rule of subtraction rather than the rule of addition that was violated.

5. Should the original wave functions prove good approximations, the resonance method may be applied and in this case it suffices to superpose a few wave functions of equal or nearly equal energies.

6. A line of force is a curve in space that indicates the direction of the electric force a positive charge would be subjected to were it placed on the curve.

7. Included in this comparison is the additional assumption that the temporal amplification and spatial amplification rates are related by the wave velocity.

8. Not until the source and load impedances are reasonably well matched will the desired energy transfer proceed with good efficiency at the terminals of the transformer.

9. To prevent the signal from being reflected by the end of the transmission line, the line is terminated with impedance that matches that of the line itself.

10. If the ionization by collision were the only phenomenon to be treated, the avalanche (поток, лавина) would terminate since electrons of successive generation have less and less chance of multiplying further.

11. An orientation is considered to be stable relative to rotation about a given axis if when displaced by rotation about that axis the original orientation is restored by the appearing rotation.

12. The presence of computers themselves has made possible the mechanization of many processes once considered to require human thought.
