Mainstream media are those media generally reflective of the prevailing currents of thought, influence, or activity.

Bell thought it might be possible to generate undulating electrical currents that corresponded to sound waves.

In wind driven currents, the Ekman spiral effect results in the currents flowing at an angle to the driving winds.

Rafting has since been the most accepted explanation for the lemur colonization of Madagascar, but until recently this trip was thought to be very unlikely because strong ocean currents flow away from the island.

YR And also the currents are quite funny there.

In Iraq, free elections have revealed the enormous influence of Islamist currents.

Ocean currents are also very important in the dispersal of many life forms.

These arise from electric currents along field lines ( field aligned currents ), generated by a dynamo mechanism due to the relative motion between the rotating planet and the moving moon.

The major currents of the world's oceans, such as the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshio Current, the Agulhas Current, and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, are all approximately in geostrophic balance and are examples of geostrophic currents.

During the winter monsoon, however, currents in the north are reversed.

The true explanation was reserved for Faraday, namely, that electric currents are induced in the copper disc by the cutting of the magnetic lines of force of the needle, which currents in turn react on the needle.

All the currents deposit the marine plants and refuse they carry into this sea.

This article, written by Emily Achtenberg, was originally published on the NACLA (North American Congress on Latin America) blog Rebel Currents. Emily Achtenberg is an urban planner and the author of Rebel Currents, covering Latin American social movements and progressive governments.

Lee seems to have misjudged the strength of his election victory and the currents of opinion in several important ways.

In another interpretation the currents are the direct result of electron acceleration into the atmosphere by wave particle interactions.

These western boundary currents (of which the Gulf Stream is an example) are a consequence of the rotation of the Earth.

For these Westernized Turks, acceptance by the EU represents a lifeline against the currents of Islamic populism that Erdoğan represents.

The sea ice is affected by wind and ocean currents which can move and rotate very large areas of ice.

Ocean currents are measured in sverdrup (sv), where 1 sv is equivalent to a volume flow rate of per second.

A few months before the election, neither of the two main political currents, conservative and reformist, has settled on its candidate.

Deep water circulation is controlled primarily by inflows from the Atlantic Ocean, the Red Sea, and Antarctic currents.

Rip currents can occur at any beach where there are breaking waves on oceans, seas, and large lakes.

In this era of complex international tensions, converging currents of globalization and calls for the clash of civilizations, peace is our most precious common possession.

This relationship between magnetic fields and currents is extremely important, for it led to Michael Faraday's invention of the electric motor in 1821.

Cold, hot and warm marine currents come together here, generating a wide diversity of animal life from small coloured fish to large mammals.

Atlantic currents were forced northward and eventually settled into a new current pattern that we now call the Gulf Stream.

The Syrian opposition, a crucible of widely different groups and currents including Al Qaeda will most likely become even more radical following Morsi s ouster.

By shutting down the flow of water between the two oceans, the land bridge rerouted ocean currents in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

The electromagnetic galvanometer was available at the time, but frogs' legs were still used by Bird because of their much greater sensitivity to small currents.

Professionals usually use other means of protection such as a Faraday cage or a metallic mail suit to prevent dangerous currents from entering their bodies.

Police thought of all possibilities.

Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface.

It was also later realized that large electric currents were associated with the aurora, flowing in the region where auroral light originated.

They thought , as you thought , that God would never resurrect anyone .

By engaging fully with the main currents of modern thinking, their contemporary successors seek to better understand how universal principles can be expressed through Muslim tradition.

Thermal infrared, 10400 12500 nm, uses emitted instead of reflected radiation to image geological structures, thermal differences in water currents, and fires, and for night studies.

Now I, of course, thought, Well this is American data, and I thought, Well, those silly Americans.

India s national elections are really an aggregate of thirty different state elections, each influenced by its own local considerations, regional political currents, and different patterns of political incumbency.

Better educated and more in touch with global currents through the media or their own travel, women began participating in Moroccan political debates.

Io, which has active volcanism and an ionosphere, is a particularly strong source, and its currents also generate radio emissions, studied since 1955.

And best of all, I thought

Today s world is one of fast changing currents, where a region flourishes one day, and the next its factories collapse economically as if hit by hurricane Katrina.

Radio frequency (RF) is a rate of oscillation in the range of around to , which corresponds to the frequency of radio waves, and the alternating currents which carry radio signals.
