It seems certain that success in any system involving a more extended growth of leguminous crops in rotations must be dependent on a considerable variation in the description grown.
He also discovered that, as far as his observations extended, the times of the rotations of the various satellites round their axes conform to the analogy of our moon by equalling the times of their revolution round their primaries.
The object which he had in view was not so much to ascertain the times of their rotation as to discover whether those rotations are strictly uniform.
It is by the assistance of this noble instrument that we have attained to the knowledge of the rotations of the sun and planets, the phases of Venus and Mercury, Saturn's ring, and many other particulars exceedingly interesting.

Defn: An instrument or machine for measuring work done, especially for ascertaining the number of rotations made by a machine or wheel in manufacturing cloth; a counter.
Lastly, nothing is said in the Phaedrus about the cosmical axis; and it is upon this that the rotations of the earth intimated in the Timaeus depend.
The earth does not determine days and nights by means of its own rotations, but by its continued influence upon the rotations of the kosmic axis, and (through this latter) upon those of the outer sidereal sphere.
If the earth stood still, and resisted all rotation of its own, it would at the same time arrest the rotations of the cosmical axis, and of course those of the entire kosmos besides.
He undoubtedly understands the affirmation of Plato--that the earth was fastened round the cosmical axis--as implying that it rotated along with the rotations of that axis.
No rotations of cereals with leguminous crops are practised; no manure is used.
Agriculture is generally backward, rotations of crops and manuring being unknown.
The various rotations ordinarily include one or more crops of small grains, a hoed crop like corn or potatoes, a leguminous crop, and sometimes a fallow year.
Chilcott has done considerable work on rotations in the Great Plains district, hut he frankly admits that many years of trial will he necessary for the elucidation of trustworthy principles.
The rotation of the moon on its axis may also be reckoned, but as to the rotations of the satellites of the other planets we cannot speak with any confidence, as they are too far off to be observed with the necessary accuracy.
While some varieties of clover may be grown in various rotations and with profit, one of the best of these, where the conditions are favorable, is a three years' rotation.
Where crops are regularly grown in short rotations they will suffice to keep it amply supplied for ordinary production.
It has been found quite possible in short rotations to secure pasture from Japan clover without sowing it on land on which it has once grown.
On upland soils its place in the rotation will be very similar to that of the other variety, but with the difference that the rotations will be longer, because of the perennial habit of growth in the alsike.
In fact, it is even less so, since it would not be practicable to introduce it into short rotations when grown in northerly latitudes, as it does not reach a maximum growth for several years after the seed has been sown.
It is also usually sown alone in rotations where it is to be cropped or grazed for one year.
I give below the series of electric responses induced by alternate rotations through +90 deg.
The process {112} of magnetization is simply bringing these rotations to be more or less round parallel axes, an allineation of the axes.
The molecules of matter are in actual rotation, and a certain allineation of the axes of the rotations produces what we call magnetism.
He was tied down to a great extent, by the exigencies of the then prevailing agricultural customs, to certain rotations of crops.
As a matter of fact, modified forms of such a practice have long been in use--indeed the ordinaryrotations of crops are, to a certain extent, adaptations of this practice.
Turner maintained a productive organic dairy farm using subsoiling and long rotations involving tilled crops and semipermanent grass/herb mixtures.
A couple of rotations is equivalent to a motion of translation.
An instrument or machine for measuring work done, especially for ascertaining the number of rotations made by a machine or wheel in manufacturing cloth; a counter.
There have been rotations of nations and of civilizations on the face of the earth, as there have been rotations of crops on the fields of the farm.
Composition of any number of rotations about axes cutting one another at the same point; parallelopiped and polygon of rotations.
Composition of two simultaneous rotations about parallel axes; case where the rotations are equal and of opposite kinds.
Composition of two rotationsabout two intersecting axes.
Seeing the rise and fall of these rotatory bodies, the wise man must rely on the firmness of his mind, and not himself to be led away by these rotations in repeated succession.
B and C are rollers laid horizontally, for facilitating the continuous motion of the series of pieces of goods stitched together into an endless web, which are made to travel by the incessant rotations of the reel.
The most convenient rule by which to remember the direction of these electro-magnetic rotations is probably that given by Clerk Maxwell, which will be stated in its place.
On reversing the polarity of the magnet, both rotations will be reversed.
Thus in the sun and planet system we have in the rotations two available stores of moment of momentum on which the tides can make draughts for application to the enlargement of the revolution.
During these rotations if the water be touched by any substance which is at all greasy, the floating particles will quickly dart back, and, as if by a stroke of magic, be instantly deprived of their motion and vivacity.
On observing the shadow, which may be considered a magnified representation of the object itself, the rotations and currents can be distinguished.
Rotations at the start, after a preliminary backing in a direction opposite to that which I intend to take; two rotations on the road; a fourth on arriving.
I make the first rotation after carrying my insects a few hundred steps in the direction opposite to that which I finally take; in addition, three rotations on the road; a fifth rotation at the place where they are set free.
Rotations of the wheels relatively to the train arm.
It has already been shown that the rotations of all the wheels of a planetary train, relatively to the train-arm, are the same when the arm is in motion as they would be if it were fixed.
It is, then, absolutely necessary to make this modification in the general formula, in order to apply it in determining the rotations of any wheel of an epicyclic train whose axis is not parallel to that of the sun-wheels.
While we have in the law of Kepler a bond of mutual relationship between the planets, as regards their revolutions around the sun, it is remarkable that no law regulating their rotations on their axes has ever been discovered.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "rotations" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
