Example Sentences:
(1) Results indicated that both groups of tongue thrusters with and without interdental lisp scored significantly more poorly than did normal children (t = 4.68, P less than .001; t = 5.00, P less than .001), respectively.
(2) The $2.5bn (£1.6bn) trundling science lab began its mission on Mars after a dramatic arrival last month in which the rover was winched to the surface from a spacecraft hovering overhead on rocket thrusters.
(3) NASA corrected the Gemini thruster problem by changing the ignition system wiring.
(4) SpaceX cancels Falcon rocket launch seconds before liftoff Read more After twin sonic booms of re-entry through skies mottled with clouds, the rocket booster’s landing legs deployed, its thruster engines fired and it landed, almost delicately, at a landing pad at Cape Canaveral.
(5) If all goes to plan, the Dragon will fire its thrusters and begin a half hour plunge that ends in splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, about 450km off the west coast of the US.
(6) We avoid other objects with help from NORAD - they track space junk, and tell us when we have to fire thrusters to avoid it.
(7) A malfunctioning orbital flight attitude thruster during the flight of Gemini VIII led to acceleration forces on astronauts Neil Armstrong (commander) and David Scott (pilot) that created the potential for derogation of oculo-vestibular and eye-hand coordination effects.
(8) The tongue-thrusting children exhibited weaker lips initially than did the non-tongue-thrusters.
(9) As the rocket descends, SpaceX will relight the engines three times for a propulsive landing with thrusters: once to adjust the point of impact, again to slow the rocket to 250 meters per second, and finally for the landing burn, during which the rocket’s legs will deploy and the rocket will slow to about two meters per second.
(10) The headlong miniaturisation of microelectronics means that it might be possible to pack the entire control system, the sensors, camera, navigation equipment, photon thrusters, transmitter and power supply onto a tiny silicon wafer, and mount it on an ultra-thin sail weighing only grams, that would respond to the pressure of light.
(11) For example, additional thrusters can be strapped on to the rocket to launch heavy payloads of around 7.5 tonnes into orbit.
(12) There were no significant differences, however, between tongue thrusters with and without interdental lisp (t = .33, P greater than .05).
(13) These findings may help explain the classical malocclusions seen in tongue-thrusters and thumb-suckers.
(14) Because a large number of tongue thrusters are only adapting to malocclusions, we do not become concerned until the tongue is interfering with mechanics.
(15) Reusable rocket engines of the sort SpaceX hopes will land safely on Tuesday could play an important part in any round-trip to Mars, and since the planet has only a very thin atmosphere – and no runways or oceans to speak of – a large spacecraft would require thrusters simply to land safely in the first place.
(16) Lifting such a heavy satellite into orbit cost the Falcon 9’s lighter flights, meaning it had less fuel for its thrusters , which slowed its descent back to Earth and reoriented it for landing.
(17) Tongue thrusters in the mixed dentition stage are not proper candidates for myofunctional therapy.
(18) But instead of using the main engine this time, they would employ the smaller thrusters used for keeping the spacecraft upright.
(19) We conclude that increasing the lip muscle strength in tongue-thrusters may have little effect on the dentition of children exhibiting tongue-thrusting.
(20) These data compared favorably with data obtained for other retarded persons not judged to be tongue thrusters; in addition, the objective results of the treatment program were substantiated via pre-post evaluations done by occupational and physical therapists.
