| Members of the French Academy of Sciences led the world in measuring the Earth's shape, proudly determining it to be an oblate spheroid. |
|
| In it he stated, without proof, that the Earth is an oblate spheroid, supporting Newton against the rival Cassinian view. |
|
| However, we are aware of no studies that have considered the motion of an ellipsoid or oblate spheroid near a plane wall under linear shear flow. |
|
| It has to do with giving, and with letting go, with how the earth rotates on its axis to make an oblate spheroid. |
|
| Bede was offered as an oblate to the monastery of Wearmouth when he was only seven years old and spent his whole life as a monk. |
|
| In general, the strain ellipsoids have oblate strain symmetry with some data points in the prolate field. |
|
| The Earth is an oblate spheroid, with polar diameter some 45 km less than the equatorial diameter. |
|
| New research reveals that the rapidly melting glaciers are even changing the shape of the planet, making the earth more oblate than spherical. |
|
| A number of finite-strain studies from natural shear zones show oblate geometries. |
|
| The earth is actually best approximated as an oblate spheroid, meaning that it is flattened at the poles. |
|
| A claustral oblate candidate may be received into the novitiate by the abbot with the consent of the chapter. |
|
| The corresponding axial ratios were 1.14 for a prolate ellipsoid and 1.16 for an oblate ellipsoid. |
|
| The strain ellipsoid is oblate, showing the Z axis to be perpendicular to the cleavage. |
|
| For vertebrate lenses, measures of anterior and posterior spheroidicity are required because these lenses are asymmetrical, oblate spheroids. |
|
| To a good approximation, the geoid is an oblate spheroid whose major axis is about 0.3 per cent longer than the minor one. |
|
| He assumed that the Earth behaved as a fluid and showed, as Newton had done, that the resulting shape would be an oblate spheroid. |
|
| It built on foundations due to Newton and Huygens who had put forward the theory that the Earth was an oblate spheroid. |
|
| Since he had never done any study, he was received in a friary as an oblate. |
|
| It does not matter essentially whether the oblate is living in the world or in a residential community. |
|
| Kerr geometry uses something called oblate spheroidal coordinate system. |
|
|
|
| Its shape depends on the variety of the fruit destined for drying and may range from oblate to prolate. |
|
| However, if the minor axis is horizontal, it is referred to as an oblate ellipsoid. |
|
| The earth's rotation about its axis is responsible for its being slightly oblate rather than a sphere. |
|
| The basic computation thus attempts to find the shortest directed line tangent to four oblate spherical shells centred on four satellites. |
|
| His prediction that the Earth should be shaped as an oblate spheroid was later vindicated by other scientists. |
|
| Increased negative keratometric diopters and oblate asphericity of the PCC are common after LASIK leading to mild keratectasia. |
|
| I have instructed our officials to look into that and to work with oblate records of the churches to get to the bottom of this issue, and this sad chapter in our history. |
|
| Measurements of gravity yield little direct geological information, other than to represent the Earth's oblate spheroidal shape, unless corrections are made to account for variations in the Earth's shape and topography. |
