The physical process consists of distributed parameter dynamic elements, most generally represented by nonlinear partial differential equations.

The transducers face each other across the relevant blade passage.

Maximum mechanical constraint conditions were not attained with the subject specimens.

The performance of the various candidate heat pipe materials is shown graphically in Fig.

Because efficiency is very important for the application involved, a design change was considered.

Mechanical spring arrangements considered lacked sufficient response to track the motion.

The load requirement for the station concerned is shown in Fig.

The many rail bridges covered were structurally adequate for the large loads imposed by a 36-axle Schnabel Car.

The usual method of doing this is to control all other constituents and change only the constituent being considered.

The quantity Ds is the change in effective stress for the particular element under consideration.

Appropriate properties for the particular grade of maraging steel under investigation are given in Table.

The overall efficiency of the process turned out to be even higher than in our paper under discussion.

The elbow of interest is well below the reactor beltline.

To account for metallurgical changes occurring in a given temperature range, S. suggests that the form for the modification term is exp [k(T -- T1)2].

Because efficiency is very important for the application involved, a design change was considered.

The present experimental method has several advantages.

Maximum mechanical constraint conditions were not attained with the subject specimens.

11 территория

territory, territory area; cм. также иерархия социальная

The distinction between defended and home-range territory cannot always be maintained in practice, .

Sice our knowledge of the natural behaviour of animals under the varied natural conditions of their lives is often insufficient to enable us to say to what extent others are excluded from the territory. .

The unqualified term “territory” is therefore useful for such cases, and it can readily be qualified as home-range or defended as our knowledge justifies. .

Erkins remark appear apt to this discussion, and I have adopted his usage of the term territory .

No defence of a territory was noted in study and transient lions, both males and females, used these territories freely .

In a territory were actively defended against an intruder then the resident would have to apprroach the intruder to either frighten it or to forcefully drive it from the area. .

Both males and females invariably visit these sites and ordinarily travel much the same route, whether hunting or seemingly just traveling .

Some permanent stations occur in each territory .

гнездовая территория - breeding territory, nesting territory

групповая территория - group territory

занятие территория - acquisition of territory, territory-establishment, settling within territory

ONce the female has settled on a territory, she begins actively to defend its boundaries against all other conspecific females .

with sibi,
Cic. Leg. 1, 18, 49; id. Lael. 9, 30:

(β).
Attraction of quisque:
tanta ibi copia venustatum in suo quique loco sita,
Plaut. Poen. 5, 4, 6 (al. quaeque):
quodvis frumentum non tamen omne Quique suo genere inter se simile esse videbis,
Lucr. 2, 372 Lachm. and Munro ad loc.:
cum verba debeant sui cujusque generis copulari,
Varr. L. L. 10, 48:
in sensibus sui cujusque generis judicium,

haec igitur proclivitas ad suum quodque genus aegrotatio dicatur,
id. Tusc. 4, 12, 28:

Liv. 24, 3, 5:
ut sui cujusque mensis acciperet (frumentum),
Suet. Aug. 40;
and quisque both attracted and in its own case: quia cujusque partis naturae et in corpore et in animo sua quaeque vis sit (where either cujusque or quaeque is redundant),
Cic. Fin. 5, 17, 46; v. Madv. ad loc.; Cato, R. R. 23 fin.;
so esp. in the phrases suo quoque tempore, anno, die, loco, etc.: pecunia, quae in stipendium Romanis suo quoque anno penderetur, deerat (= suo quaeque anno),
each instalment in the year when due, Liv. 33, 46, 9 Weissenb. ad loc.:

c.
In the order quisque... suus.
(α).
In relative clauses, comparative clauses with ut, and interrogative clauses introduced by quid, etc., where quisque immediately follows the relative, etc.:
ut quisque suom volt esse, ita est,
Ter. Ad. 3, 3, 45; cf.
with sibi,
Cic. Leg. 1, 18, 49; id. Lael. 9, 30:
expendere oportere quid quisque habeat sui... nec velle experiri quam se aliena deceant. Id enim maxime quemque decet quod est cujusque maxime suum,

neque solum quid in senatu quisque civitatis suae dicerent ignorabant, sed, etc.,
Liv. 32, 19, 9:
gratius id fore laetiusque quod quisque sua manu ex hoste captum rettulerit,

id. Brev. Vit. 7, 5; id. Ben. 7, 5, 1:
tunc praeceps quisque se proripit et penates suos deserit,
id. Q. N. 6, 1, 5; 5, 18, 8:
summum quisque causae suae judicem facit,

(γ).
Poets adopt the order quisque suus when the metre requires it, Verg. A. 6, 743:
oscula quisque suae matri tulerunt,
Ov. F. 2, 715. —

suam rem sibi salvam sistam,
id. Poen. 5, 2, 123:
idem lege sibi sua curationem petet,
for himself, Cic. Agr. 2, 9, 22 (cf. id. Phil. 2, 37, 96;

Sen. Q. N. 1, 1, 11; cf.
the formula of divorce: tuas res tibi habeto,
Dig. 24, 2, 2.—Hence, illam suam suas res sibi habere jussit, Cic. Phil. 2, 28, 69.—

that the credit of it should belong to him alone, Liv. 2, 8, 3:
qui de sua unius sententia omnia gerat,
id. 44, 22, 11; cf.:
unam Aegyptus in hoc spem habet suam,

9.
Strengthened by the suffix - pte or -met.
