So, too, the frontals and parietals of Teleosts developed independently of the cartilaginous skull, and belonged to the skeletal system of the skin, not to the true vertebral axial skeleton (pp.
The analogy is even more far-fetched when applied to the axial bones in front of the basisphenoid.
In the case of an axial moment, the square root of the resulting mean square is called the radius of gyration of the system about the axis in question.
The axial moments have alone a dynamical significance, but the others are useful as subsidiary conceptions.
The pitch oraxial pitch of a screw has the meaning assigned to it in that section, viz.
Again, the mass-centre of a uniform solid right circular cone divides the axis in the ratio 3 : 1; that of a uniform solid hemisphere divides the axial radius in the ratio 3 : 5.
The plane through the radius of the weight containing the axis OX is called the axial plane because it contains the forces forming the couple due to the transference of F to the reference plane.
If, therefore, the screw has several equidistant threads, the true pitch is equal to the divided axial pitch, as measured between two adjacent threads, multiplied by the number of threads.
The proof of this is found in the fact, that they have no axial rotation, Mercury and Venus always presenting the same surface to their father, the sun, and the moon the same surface to its daughter, the earth.
Axial rotation is necessary in evolution, the ancient physics teaches, which must cease with it.
The point is that along this axial line connecting the laya centers play all the seven solar forces--light, heat, electricity, etc.
This "discovery," of noaxial rotation by the interior planets, made by Schiaparelli and confirmed by Flammarion in 1894, has since been fully verified by our Western astronomers.
He would as soon credit a statement that the earth has no axial rotation as that Mercury or Venus has none; and if he continues his study of Eastern physics it is with no confidence in its accuracy, and as a matter of curiosity.
This gives us the line of 24-hour axial rotation, the true surface of the earth, and the sheer-line of prakritic matter.
Such search beyond the customary limits of observation was essential to success, because of the relation of the axial tilt to the position of the planet in its orbit.
Now the axial tilt of Mars is almost exactly the same as that of our Earth, the latest determinations from the ensemble of measures giving 24 deg.
Mars presents such a figure, being flattened out to correspond to its axial rotation.
The axial skeleton consists, in the lowest fish, of the notochord, a cylindrical unsegmented rod of cartilage running nearly the length of the body.
The muscles in simplest forms are composed of heavy longitudinal bands, especially developed toward the dorsal surface of the body to the right and left of the axial skeleton.
With such a set of axes there can be no statement of an axial ratio, but the angle between the axes (or some other angle which may be calculated from this) may be given as a constant of the substance.
These axes are called the crystallographic axes, and the planes in which they lie the axial planes.
The angular position of a face is thus completely fixed by its indices; and knowing the angles between the axial planes and the parametral plane all the angles of a crystal can be calculated when the indices of the faces are known.
The ratio a : c is spoken of as the axial ratio of a crystal, and it is dependent on the angles between the faces.
For the purpose of comparing the crystalline forms of isomorphous and morphotropic substances it is usual to quote the angles or the axial ratios of the crystal, as in the table of benzene derivatives quoted above.
The remaining forms consist each of only two planes on the same side of the axial plane XOZ and equally inclined to the dyad axis (e.
The ratio a : c of the parameters, or the axial ratio, is characteristic of all the crystals of the same substance.
The optical orientation of an orthorhombic crystal is completely defined by stating to which crystallographic planes the opticaxial plane and the acute bisectrix are respectively parallel and perpendicular.
In order to see the axial colours separately the crystal must be examined with a dichroscope, or in a polarizing microscope from which the analyser has been removed.
Carpenter's proof of the nervous nature of the chambered organ and axial cords of crinoids (Proc.
The biserial archipterygium consists of a segmented axial rod, bearing a praeaxial and a postaxial series of jointed rays.
He then abandoned the axial wire, and allowed the magnet itself to take its place; the result was the same.
The deportment of oxygen in air 'was very impressive, the bubble being pulled inward or towards the axial line, sharply and suddenly, as if the oxygen were highly magnetic.
Top and axial rod of a pyramid, prolonged into a crowned radial spine.
The three rods of the cortinar septum and the three arches connecting them with the central axial columella.
A piece of a tooth, with the internalaxial rod and its transverse branches.
A single pyramid with its axial rod, prolonged into a crowned radial spine.
Basal part of a radial tube, exhibiting the internal axial thread and its connection with the six tubes, which form the edges of a flat six-sided pyramid (usually more elevated than the figure exhibits).
The internal axialrod of the shell, which bears on its basal part three verticils of three diverging forked spines, x 300 Fig.
How does its axial revolution compare with that of the earth?
How does the time of the axial revolution of Saturn compare with that of Jupiter?
How does the axial revolution of Mars compare with that of Mercury, Venus, and the earth?
What is the time of its revolution about the earth and of its axial revolution?
Mike glanced up at the tube overhead, which represented the axial passageway down the hub of the wheel.
It was by observation of the spots that the period of the axial rotation of the Sun became known.
It has been suggested that the stars have opaque non-luminous patches on their surfaces, and that during axial rotation their light ebbs and flows according as the dark or bright portions are turned towards us.
Our satellite has no seasons; its axial rotation is so slow that one lunar day is equal in length to fourteen of our days; this period of sunshine is succeeded by a night of similar duration.
The Girdleness trumpet has an axial length of 16 ft.
Those at St Catherine's are of cast-iron with copper bell mouth, and have a total axial length of 22 ft.
The tenet of itsaxial movement was held by many of his followers--in an obscure form by Philolaus of Crotona after the middle of the 5th century B.
Misled, however, into identifying it with magnetism, he imagined circulation in the solar system to be maintained through the material compulsion of fibrous emanations from the sun, carried round by his axial rotation.
If I look upon our earth, with its orbital revolution and axial rotation, as one small issue of the process which made the solar system what it is, will any theologian deny my right to entertain and express this theoretic view?
The great majority of folds, however, are unsymmetrical, the opposite slopes being unequal, and the axial planes inclined to the vertical (Fig.
The imaginary line passing longitudinally through a fold, about which the strata appear to be bent, is the axis; and the plane lying midway between the two sides of a fold and including the axis is the axial plane.
Anticlinal and synclinal folds are symmetrical when the dip or slope of the strata is the same on both sides and the axial plane is vertical.
The form of the earth is just that which an igneous liquid mass would assume if thrown into an orbit with an axial revolution similar to that of our earth.
These shafts are also hollow, having an axial hole 4 mm.
Those used in the successful trials were 1 metre in diameter, with an actual axial pitch of 1.
The theory of involution may at once be extended from the row to the flat and the axial pencil--viz.
The notion of a one-one correspondence between rows may be extended to flat and axial pencils, viz.
Figures in a row consist of groups of points only, and figures in the flat or axial pencil consist of groups of lines or planes.
If two pencils are reciprocal, then to a plane in either corresponds a line in the other, to a flat pencil an axial pencil, and so on.
If two pencils with centres S1 and S2 are made projective, then to a ray in one corresponds a ray in the other, to a plane a plane, to a flat or axialpencil a projective flat or axial pencil, and so on.
Similarly an axial pencil may be projective to an axial pencil.
To the flat pencil in S1 which it contains corresponds in S2 a projective axial pencil with axis a2 and this cuts [alpha]1 in a second flat pencil.
For the row consists of a line and all the points in it, reciprocal to it therefore will be a line with all planes through it, that is, anaxial pencil; and so for the other cases.
This is seen at once for two intersecting lines, as their plane cuts the axial pencil in a flat pencil, which is itself cut by the two lines.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "axial" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
