Then followed in this parabolic ceremonial the burnt offering.
And so I want to ask you to look at these words, which, by a legitimate extension of the writer's meaning, and taking them in a kind of parabolic way, may sum up for us the whole of the special duties of youth.
They got him out of the parabolic curve and headed back down.
The vehicle with Lynds was in a path parabolicto the capsule, almost like the start of an orbit, but at a fantastic distance.
There is in the eleventh chapter of St. Luke's Gospel a parabolic saying which is uncommonly rich in allusions to Syrian home life.
To this care and devotion of the shepherd, Jesus also alludes in his parabolic saying in which he speaks of his having "come to save that which was lost.
In the Arabic Bible, the wise sayings of the Book of Proverbs are called amthal, and the parabolic discourses of Jesus are also called amthal.
At shorter lengths the archer must estimate the distance below the mark on which his arrow seems to rest in order to rise in a parabolic curve and strike the spot.
For these we use a five-sixteenths dowel, feather it with short, low cut parabolic feathers and put a small barbed head on it about an inch in length.
Delta], and then confirms by reductio ad absurdum the equality of the area of the parabolic segment to this area.
Proceeding thus, we have a series of areas exhausting the parabolic segment.
If these rules are attended to, the machine will give the true parabolic figure to the speculum, whether it be six inches or three feet in diameter.
The last and most important part of the process of working the speculum, is to give it a true parabolic figure, that is, such a figure that each portion of it should reflect the incident ray to the same focus.
Another corollary is that in the case of a body moving in a parabolic orbit the velocity at any moment is that which would be acquired by the body in falling from an infinite distance to the place it occupies at the moment.
He, moreover, threw out the suggestion (in his Cometographia, 1668) that comets move round the sun in orbits of a parabolic form.
The second shot is propelled by a larger charge, and follows a parabolic arc as it falls.
One rate of speed on the curve indicates an elliptical orbit that returns; a greater rate of speed indicates that it will take a parabolic orbit, which never returns.
It is possible, from the shape of its orbit, that it has a periodic time of nine thousand years, or that it may have a parabolic orbit, and never return.
For example, we know that when we throw a stone, it will describe an approximate parabolic curve in falling to the ground.
He has also rejected the term foci of an involution, and has not used the customary terms for classifying involutions—hyperbolic involution, elliptic involution and parabolic involution.
This last theorem is the basis for the construction of the parabolic reflector.
While I was still speculating on the possible use of the enormous parabolic reflector, a slight commotion on the opposite side of the pier distracted my attention.
The parabolic reflector over there catches these light vibrations and focuses them on the cell of selenium which you perhaps noticed in the centre of the reflector.
It is in reality falling in a great parabolic or elliptical curve through space.
This the inventor effected by the simplest means in the world--simply a parabolic reflector by which the destructive waves could be sent like a beam of light, but invisible, in any direction and focused upon any desired point.
It was only necessary to suppose that a comet, instead of revolving in a parabolic orbit, really revolved in an extremely elongated ellipse, and that it completed each revolution in a period of about seventy-five or seventy-six years.
An object revolving in a parabolic orbit about the sun at the focus moves in gradually towards the sun, sweeps around the great luminary, and then begins to retreat.
But if the planet is so situated as to retard the velocity of the comet, the parabolic orbit will be changed into an ellipse, and the comet will become a periodic one.
A comet of this kind moves in a parabolic path, sweeps once around the sun, and thence retreats into the space whence it came.
There is a necessary distinction betweenparabolic and elliptic motion.
There are giant servo-mechanisms that keep the parabolic antennas trained on the vehicle as it lifts off the pad and heads into orbit.
The conduit also contained fiber-optics bundles for carrying computer data to guide the parabolic antennas up on the mountain as they tracked the space vehicle.
But whether I should ever reach the earth by that device, or whether I might not simply find myself spinning about it in some hyperbolic or parabolic curve or other, I could not tell.
For mere readers, a parabolic narrative might suffice to enforce his meaning.
A parabolic saying follows, with its interpretation.
The parabolic form of instruction does not afford scope for the play of the highest class of motives.
The second shot is propelled by a larger charge, and follows a parabolic arc as it falls, The next shots, fired with increasingly more propellant, eventually disappear over the horizon as they fall.
A certain man," so begins this parabolic Paternoster, "had two sons.
