Lateral

The straight column under load is in stable equilibrium if a lateral force, applied between the two ends of the column, produces a small lateral deflection which disappears and the column returns to its straight form when the lateral force is removed.

This can be combined with other manners, resulting in lateral approximants (the most common), lateral flaps, and lateral fricatives and affricates.

The iliotibial band syndrome can hurt all the way from the lateral hip down to the lateral knee and anywhere in between.

It covers economic, scientific, technological, political and cultural fields; contains both bi-lateral and multi-lateral levels and is conducted by both governments and non-governmental groups.

Alternate uses The oxymoron "forward lateral" is used to describe an attempted "lateral" (backward pass) that actually goes forward.

Because lateral moraines are deposited on top of the glacier, they do not experience the postglacial erosion of the valley floor and therefore, as the glacier melts, lateral moraines are usually preserved as high ridges.

Cantilever walls resist lateral pressures by friction at the base of the wall and/or passive earth pressure, the tendency of the soil to resist lateral movement.

For example, it can apply a normal force at zero lateral force for the drop to fly off away from the surface in the normal direction or it can induce a lateral force at zero normal force (simulating zero gravity ).

High levels of lateral support are useful for activities where lateral motion is undesirable and unexpected.

However, appropriate symbols are easy to make by adding a lateral-fricative belt to the symbol for the corresponding lateral approximant (see below).

In a lateral pass the ball is not advanced, but unlike a forward pass a lateral may be attempted from anywhere on the field by any player to any player at any time.

In some cases, the lateral support which can be provided by the shoring wall alone is insufficient to resist the planned lateral loads; in this case additional support is provided by walers or tie-backs.

International relationships seeAlso GCHQ operates in partnership with equivalent agencies worldwide in a number of bi-lateral and multi-lateral relationships.

In the fifth week a pair of lateral swellings, the lateral lingual swellings (distal tongue buds) one on the right side and one on the left, form on the first pharyngeal arch.

Lateral masses The lateral masses are the most bulky and solid parts of the atlas, in order to support the weight of the head.

Lateral plate mesoderm The lateral plate mesoderm splits into parietal (somatic) and visceral (splanchnic) layers.

Lateral positions (sleeping on a side), as opposed to supine positions (sleeping on the back), are also recommended as a treatment for sleep apnea, citation citation citation largely because the gravitational component is smaller in the lateral position.

Plasma etching can be isotropic, i.e., exhibiting a lateral undercut rate on a patterned surface approximately the same as its downward etch rate, or can be anisotropic, i.e., exhibiting a smaller lateral undercut rate than its downward etch rate.

Plosives are never lateral—although they may have lateral release —and the distinction is meaningless for nasals and for consonants articulated in the throat.

Quadratus plantae originates with two slips from the lateral and medial margins of the calcaneus and inserts into the lateral margin of the flexor digitorum tendon.
