Collecting these cards became popular with radio listeners in the 1920s and 1930s, and reception reports were often used ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DX_communication |
The vacuum trajectory, simplified aerodynamic, d'Antonio, and Euler drag law models are special cases. The Manges drag law thereby provides a unifying influence with respect to earlier models used to obtain two dimensional closed form solutions to the point-mass equations of motion. The third purpose of this paper is t... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics |

In this case, the beam vibrates at its resonance frequency and a variation in this parameter indicates the concentration of the analyte. Recently, microcantilevers have been fabricated that are porous, allowing for a much larger surface area for analyte to bind to, increasing sensitivity by raising the ratio of the ana... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever |

The macroblock is a processing unit in image and video compression formats based on linear block transforms, typically the discrete cosine transform (DCT). A macroblock typically consists of 16×16 samples, and is further subdivided into transform blocks, and may be further subdivided into prediction blocks.

However, informal coercion to drop Hawaiian would not have worked by itself.
