The joint consists of three smaller ones: the femoropatellar joint, medial femorotibial joint, and lateral femorotibial joint. The stifle joint consists of the femorotibial articulation (femoral and tibial condyles), femoropatellar articulation (femoral trochlea and the patella), and the proximal tibiofibular articulation.

The Association's first president, Waldo Forbes, Sr., summed-up the vision of the founding members: The Association requires performance data for registration of all cattle with the goal to initiate a system to objectively evaluate and select cattle based on traits of economic importance. The late George Chiga (1913 - 2007) was one of the original founding members

title: "Relaxation (NMR)" content: spontaneous emission is negligibly slow at NMR frequencies. Hence truly isolated nuclear spins would show negligible rates of "T" relaxation. However, a variety of "relaxation mechanisms" allow nuclear spins to exchange energy with their surroundings, the "lattice", allowing the spin populations to equilibrate. The fact that "T" relaxation involves an interaction with the surroundings is the origin of the alternative description, "spin-lattice relaxation". Note that the rates of "T" relaxation (i.e., 1/"T") are generally strongly dependent on the NMR frequency and so vary considerably with magnetic field strength "B". Small amounts of paramagnetic substances in a sample speed up relaxation

Following is a table of the approximate values of the two relaxation time constants for chemicals that commonly show up in human brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) studies, physiologically or pathologically. The discussion above describes relaxation of nuclear magnetization in the presence of a constant magnetic field B. This is called relaxation in the laboratory frame. Another technique, called relaxation in the rotating frame, is the relaxation of nuclear magnetization in the presence of the field B together with a time-dependent magnetic field B. The field B

Only a very small amount is actually dissolved as carbon dioxide, and the remaining amount of carbon dioxide is bound to hemoglobin. In addition to enhancing removal of carbon dioxide from oxygen-consuming tissues, the Haldane effect promotes dissociation of carbon dioxide from hemoglobin in the presence of oxygen. In the oxygen-rich capillaries of the lung, this property causes the displacement of carbon dioxide to plasma as low-oxygen blood enters the alveolus and is vital

Jaffe said that they did not want to include the Roman numeral number two (II) in the title for this reason, but they did not want the title to convey the impression it was an expansion pack.

This was found to be the case in the New South Wales school investigation. In a scientific sense it had become practice

title: "Gyro monorail" content: Gas turbine engines are designed with peripheral speeds as high as 400 m/s, and have operated reliably on thousands of aircraft over the past 50 years. Hence, an estimate of the gyro mass for a 10 tonne vehicle, with cg height at 2m, assuming a peripheral speed of half what is used in jet engine design, is a mere 140 kg. Brennan's recommendation of 3–5% of the vehicle mass was therefore highly conservative.

The "curve" of the ball varies from pitcher to pitcher. In snooker, pocket
