To some, rhythm appears chiefly as a series of points of emphasis or stresses alternating with points of less emphasis or of none at all; such are called, in scientific jargon, 'stressers.
Theoretically each rhythmic stress is of equal force or strength, but in verse there is the greatest variety, some stresses being so strong as to dominate a whole line, others so light as hardly to be felt.
It is still the standard line in classical French verse; but the French alexandrine differs from the English, principally in having four stresses instead of six.
This metrical scheme, based theoretically on equal time units marked by equal stresses, becomes a compromise of uneven stressesand apparently equal time divisions.
The first essential of a line is that it have a certain number of syllables; the accents or stresses may, theoretically at least, fall anywhere in the line.
Certainly the stresses are more prominent in trochaic verse than in iambic or even anapestic; and the untrained ear likes its rhythms well marked.
Thus, when there are equal intervals but stress is absent, we more or less unconsciously supply it; when there are distinct stresses at irregular intervals we organize them into approximately regular intervals.
Certainly there is slight evidence of a periodicity connected with the times of conjunction and opposition of the sun and moon, and a maximum frequency near the time of perigee, but the effect of lunar stresses is comparatively insignificant.
Then, if the data are sufficient, the resultant stresses and moments between the surfaces are obtained by integrating the intensity of the stress and moments of intensity of stress over the surface.
Sismondi thus rightly stresses the fact that the productivity of labour is an indispensable condition for the historical foundation of exploitation.
Marx himself stresses this point in another context: 'We know that the actual variable capital consists of labour-power, and therefore the additional must consist of the same thing.
There is insufficient knowledge to predict total metabolic requirements under the numerous stresses which can be anticipated.
Atelectasis and Pulmonary Edema Localized or diffuse collapse of alveoli in the lungs may, if the condition persists, lead to arterial hypoxia which may be extremely undesirable under the stresses of space flight.
In space exploration and experimentation, the device can spot monitor radiation dose levels as well as changes resulting from any of the environmental stresses experienced in space.

The stresses become intensely localized in the immediate neighborhood of the bolts.
The rocky crust, as it slowly accommodates itself to the shrinking interior of the earth, is subjected unceasingly to stresses which induce jointing by tension, compression and torsion.
In Johnnie Came from Sea, page 14, 6aa denotes a rimed couplet, with six stresses in each line.
Thus in Pretty Polly, on page 7, 4aabb indicates a quatrain riming in couplets, with four stresses in each line.
Each numeral indicates the number of stresses in the line (or lines) denoted by the letter (or letters) immediately succeeding it.
It is this that has disturbed the balance of internal stresses within the earth--" "A dark moon!
In a critical form we have [delta]s = 0, and the equation is satisfied by an arbitrary value of S; a consistent system of stresses in the remaining bars can then be found by preceding rules.
When a frame has a critical form it may be in a state of stress independently of the action of extraneous forces; moreover, the stressesdue to extraneous forces are indeterminate, and may be infinite.
The stresses in the bars would then be comparatively very great, although finite.
The stresses in the bars, in the problem as thus modified, may be supposed found by the preceding methods; it remains to infer from the results thus obtained the reactions in the original form of the problem.
This means that, if the material of the frame were absolutely unyielding, no finite stresses in the bars would enable it to withstand the extraneous forces.
The principle of virtual work is specially convenient in the theory of frames (S 6), since the reactions at smooth joints and the stresses in inextensible bars may be left out of account.
When a plane frame which is just rigid is subject to a given system of equilibrating extraneous forces (in its own plane) acting on the joints, the stresses in the bars are in general uniquely determinate.
It is shown that a machine may at any instant be represented by a frame of links the stresses in which are identical with the pressures at the joints of the mechanism.
The driving and resisting efforts are represented by elastic links in the dynamic frame, and when the frame with its elastic links is drawn the stresses in the several members of it may be determined by means of reciprocal figures.
The statement may be extended to a system of rigid bodies, provided the mutual reactions consist of the stresses in inextensible links, or the pressures between smooth surfaces, or the reactions at rolling contacts (S 9).
And if particular emotional stresses accompany that development, that may seem to them only one further reason for being annoyed at the nature of things.
When running, it is also subjected to bendingstresses if the armature be not properly balanced.
The inductors are held more firmly in place to resist stresses due to electromagnetic drag and centrifugal force; 2.
Training Training units in the United States were subject to many of the stresses suffered by the Eighth Army, and without fanfare they too began to integrate.
It seems possible that by testing for the amount of case-hardening one might select a final steaming period which would eliminate all stresses in the wood.
The stock dried in five days showed slight case-hardening, so it was steamed at atmospheric pressure for 36 minutes near the close of the run, with the result that when dried off again the stresses were no longer present.
Wood shrinks about twice as much tangentially as radially, thus introducing very serious stresses which may cause loss in woods whose total shrinkage is large.
As soon as the imbibed moisture begins to be extracted from any portion, shrinkage takes place and stresses are set up in the wood which tend to cause checking.
Drying should proceed uniformly at all points, otherwise extra stresses are set up in the wood, causing warping, etc.
The unequal shrinkage causes internal stresses in the wood as it dries, which results in warping, checking, case-hardening, and honeycombing.
The necessity of fleeing Parkson became urgent--Lewisham's temper under these multitudinous stresses was going.
Among other things because it would repudiate the accursed worship of pinching self-restraint that was one of the incessant stresses between them.
He must begin again, he must get back to emotion, he must thrust back the overwhelming pressure of everyday stresses and necessities that was crushing all the warmth and colour from their lives.
The static stresses are more serious in a high ratio transformer simply because the insulation of its secondary is less able to withstand them.
It accepts that all short circuits must occasionally occur and considers only the protection of the connected apparatus against the mechanical forces due to the magnetic stresses of such enormous currents.
Unless certain precautions are taken, such a static disturbance on the low tension side may cause serious stresses in the secondary insulation of a transformer with a high ratio of transformation.
The torsional stresses act along ed, and in order to resist these stresses the shell must be so designed that the resisting ability will be increased along that line, re-acting along de.
A study of thestresses in the shell can, however, be made on a theoretical basis.
Therefore the projectile must be designed not only to penetrate, as well as to withstand the great compressional stressesupon the advancing head of the shell but the body of the shell must be so designed as to give a maximum of integrity.
