The chestnut trees have not yet reached an age at which their largest potentialsize has been attained, but trees of 50-foot spread have been observed.
The rotting of the nuts soon after harvest as a result of improper methods of handling and storage has prevented an earlier acceptance of the crop as of potential economic importance in the Southeast.
We are interested in kernel yield and in the potential production of each individual tree.
Because of such potential yields and because rather extended storage of nuts of varied keeping quality is now economically possible the future of the chestnut industry in the Southeast is very promising.
We are convinced that among the individuals of every fruit-farm labor group are many potential strikers.
Kawa Kendi had crossed from the comparative safe haven of the potential into divine activity.
You interview a potential investor; does he accept your proposition or not?
This was made at the potential and appointed time, when the sun was in the Ninth of the Celestial Houses, and the Lion shook his bright mane as he ascended the blue mount.
All potential plasticity is destroyed by heating to 700 deg.
But from the moment when he had seen him for the first time in Brewster’s study Roland had recognized in him a potential friend.
The potential buyer should also have a survey made by a competent engineer to definitely fix the boundaries of the property.
There are a few fundamental factors, however, which the potential owner should know regarding soil treatment, for that is the base upon which he will build his income-producing operations.
Due to the difficulty experienced by many potential buyers in getting satisfactory produce, they have become discouraged and will often drive by all roadside markets rather than take a chance on buying commodities that may be misrepresented.
In the little eohippus was potentially the horse we know, as surely as the oak is potential in the acorn, or the bird potential in the egg, whatever element of mystery may enter into the problem.
Auch ich war in Arkadien geboren," that I had printed poems in the Atlantic Monthly and the Saturday Press, and was the potential author of things destined to eclipse all literature hitherto attempted.
Again, my guess is that the increasing migration of the sciences toward data- and processing-rich models makes much more of innovation and discovery a potential candidate for the distributed model.
Optimists believe the lure of capturing this huge market will keep potential competitors hungry and monopolists scared.
And while the dangers are real and not to be minimized, the potential benefits--the lives saved because the scarce antimalarial drug can now be manufactured by energetic E.
Some would say that it was not just a close shave: we actually have hampered or limited the full potential of technology, slowing down its dynamism with a host of overbroad software patents, gene patents, and materials transfer agreements.
The economists described in Chapter 1 would surely tell us that this is a potential "public goods" problem.
The second type of potential infringement comes when someone uses a fragment of the earlier recording as part of the later one, actually copying a portion of the recording itself and using it in a new song.
Above all things is he potential and indicative, bard of "flowing mouth and indicative hand.
Mr. Gosse finds Whitman only a potential or possible poet; his work is literature in the condition of protoplasm.
Causes that merely make good the collocation for bringing a prime mover into action, or that release a potential force, do not follow any such rule.
He, however, who lies at the Root and who is endued with supreme might and puissance, lies in the waters when universal destruction comes (in the form of the potential Seed of all things).
Indeed the resultant force at any point is directly proportional to the rate of fall of potential per unit length along the line of force passing through that point.
The difference of potential between any two points is called an electromotive force.
The magnitude of the resultant force at any point of the field is a function of the potential at that point; and this potential is measured by the work done in producing the field.
A small quantity of electricity of high potential is similar to a small quantity of water at high level.
If there be no fall of potential there can be no resultant force; hence if we take any surface in the field such that the potential is the same at every point of the surface, we have what is called an equipotential surface.
The potential at any point is, in fact, measured by the work done in moving a unit of electricity from the point to an infinite distance.
The intensity of the field is shown by the number of lines passing through unit area, and the rate of variation of potential by the number of equipotential surfaces cutting unit length of each line of force.
Since the resistance which the air or any other dielectric opposes to this breaking strain is thus limited, there must be a certain rate of fall of potential per unit length which corresponds to this resistance.
As a man, he has certain rights actual and potential (c.
These then are the proper matter of Temperance: other virtues, potential parts of Temperance, restrain other cravings which are less animal.
Municipalities we may leave aside, for a municipality is a potential State.
It is potential money-capital on account of its capacity and destination of being converted into the elements of productive capital.
For we can consider the machine at rest; it would then have existence and potential activity.
