Our electric heater does not work well.

Passivhaus designs usually integrate the heater with the ventilation system.

Moreover, globalization and instantaneous communication technologies have made it impossible to contain conflict within national borders.

In all systems, a small supplementary heater increases personal security and reduces lifestyle impacts for a small reduction of autonomy.

Cats also lay claim to the warm spot in front of the kerosene heater. The Nekobako blog captures this scene perfectly

The Internet offers an uncensored and instantaneous means of communication for Al Qaida leaders and sympathizers wherever they are.

Similarly, as recently as two decades ago, instantaneous global communication existed, but was economically out of reach for most people.

Phase modulation (PM) is a modulation pattern that encodes information as variations in the instantaneous phase of a carrier wave.

However, when motion involves rotation, the instantaneous velocity of any two points on the body will generally not be the same.

If you park your car and didn't plug in the heater, when you come back you don't have a car. It just doesn't work.

If I buy a hybrid car, install a solar panel at my home, or upgrade to a more efficient water heater, I get a tax credit.

They are systems based on trust by which money is sent from one location to another, without instantaneous movement of physical currency or financial instruments.

Moreover, globalization and instantaneous communication technologies have made it impossible to contain conflict within national borders. Domestic economic and political grievances can now buttress discontent across regions and continents.

With instantaneous communication and access to information, the less legitimate a regime, the greater will be the temptation for it to manipulate, if not fabricate, the results of elections.

Instead, many people rely on kerosene space heaters to keep warm, as well as something called a kotatsu a low wooden table outfitted with a heavy blanket, and warmed by a heater underneath.

Another, far less common, type of MEMS based accelerometer contains a small heater at the bottom of a very small dome, which heats the air inside the dome to cause it to rise.

London dispersion forces (LDF, also known as dispersion forces, London forces, instantaneous dipole induced dipole forces, or loosely van der Waals forces) are a type of force acting between atoms and molecules.

The word kotatsu conjures up images of coziness and warmth, and not just for humans. House cats love the kotatsu, too, and can often be found snoozing under the table, inside the blanket, close to the electric heater.

Holtzman effect The Holtzman effect is a fictional scientific phenomenon which makes defensive force shields and instantaneous space travel (among other things) possible through its application in Holtzman shields, foldspace or Holtzman drives, suspensors, and glowglobes.

The theory s big idea is that if wages and prices are completely flexible, resources will be fully employed, so that any shock to the system will result in instantaneous adjustment of wages and prices to the new situation.

The instantaneous connections made by the laptops are claimed by the project to reduce the need for an external infrastructure such as the Internet to reach all areas, because a connected node could share the connection with nodes nearby.

These are timeless questions but, in an era of increased and instantaneous communication, centralized, big government bureaucracies are creaking or worse. People want more effective and more affordable government that responds to their concerns, and are demanding that decisions be decentralized.

But the kind of virtually instantaneous nature of its erection, and its being there, almost before you could believe that a response of this magnitude could be accomplished, is part of its extraordinary I don't know if beauty is the word but presence.

I'm really worried that, especially kids today, they're not going to be dealing with this down time, that they have an instantaneous button clicking culture, and that everything comes to them, and that they become very excited about it and very addicted to it.

And we're going to show you, instead of the kill laser, which will be a very brief, instantaneous pulse, we're going to have a green laser pointer that's going to stay on the mosquito for, actually, quite a long period of time otherwise, you can't see it very well.
