The Combine, referred to as "Our Benefactors"[2][3] and CMB in propaganda, is the title of an immense and powerful inter-dimensional empire that conquered the Earth during the Seven Hour War, comprised of a variety of both allied and enslaved species.[4]
I had such a great time at this race, and it left me hungry for more. Admittedly, when it comes to triathlons, I’m more interested in the distances that have an “iron” in their name. But it was too soon for that. There is a chance that I could do the 70.3 distance this fal...
The measurements (with the initial fringes subtracted) shown by the triangles in Figure 22, however, provide data points as close as 4 nm (or ∼13 interatomic distances) from the crack tip. The measured strain distribution was compared (squares) to the linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM...
How to Read a NovelistbyJohn Freeman: FormerGrantaeditor John Freeman’s first book,The Tyranny of Email, considered the ways that email collapsed great distances between us. In it he argues for a more nuanced and discerning form of communication through conversation—an art form that he showca...
The HRTEM images (Figure 2d) of one individual nanocrystal indicated the distances between the adjacent lattice fringes to be 2.52 A˚ which corresponds with the lattice spacing of the (311) d-spacing for cubic V3O4 (2.548 A˚ , JCPDS 34-0615). Temperature dependence of zero-field-cooled...
“Says the man sleeping with a vampire,” someone scoffs. While Ritter contacts the local underworld and sources the harder-to-find parts of the loadout, Cartwright tricks out a speedboat for remote control and manufactures a few other goodies, such as a magnetised iron knife for Smyth. Smyth...
What I'd like to know more about are the major differences between the North Sea and Brazil deepwater - distances to fields from shore, depths, operating conditions on and below surface, difficulty of implementing pipelines; all of this to get a better handle on what we can expect in a ...
