I'm pretty sure these jets aren't here for anyone else.

We thought she drew the jets here.

At the first drop of laser missiles, Brady had figured there was one thing that would make the fed jets target the inconsequential town, and it was Lana.

The use of small auxiliary blowing ventilators underground, for carrying air into workings away from the main circuits, which was largely advocated at one time, has lost its popularity, but a useful substitute has been found in the induced draught produced by jets of compressed air or high-pressure water blowing into ejectors.

These elaborate waterworks were, according to Dorpfeld, constructed by the Peisistratids in order to increase the supply from the ancient spring Callirrhoe; the fountain was furnished with nine jets and henceforth known as Enneacrunus.

The methods by which such results are to be obtained cannot, however, as yet be practised economically on a working scale; one great difficulty in applying them to the refining of metals is that the jets of liquid would be liable to carry with them articles of anode mud, and Swan has shown that the presence of solid particles in the electrolyte is one of the most fruitful causes of the well-known nodular growths on electrodeposited copper.

The jets came from the west, beyond the river, a realization that didn't register until the ground shook under the impact of the first laser missile strike dropped.

Liz plopped a straw hat with a red, white, and blue band on Dean's head just as three jets in close formation screamed overhead, buzzing the town in a deafening roar.

He touched his net implant but found the network scrambled, indicating the jets were sending out electromagnetic pulses in addition to the missile strikes.

Mine fires may originate from ordinary causes, but in addition they may result from the explosion of fire-damp or from the accidental lighting of jets of fire-damp issuing from the coal.

This conclusion, however, is absolutely irreconcilable with the known fact that jets of water rise nearly to the same height as their reservoirs, and Newton seems to have been aware of this objection.

The motion of a jet impinging on an infinite barrier is obtained by putting j = a, j' = a'; duplicated on the other side of the barrier, the motion reversed will represent the direct collision of two jets of unequal breadth and equal velocity.

Outside the town is the Fontana delle novantanove cannelle, a fountain with ninety-nine jets distributed along three walls, constructed in 1272.

Bleeding from an artery is of a bright red colour, and escapes from the end of the vessel nearest the heart in jets synchronous with the heart's beat.

It oxidizes the carbon also, which escapes in purple jets of burning carbonic oxide.

There are two types of jets to consider.

In one instance the quantity of water required to keep down the dust in a mine raising 850 tons of coal in a single shift was 28.8 tons, apart from that required by the jets and motors.

Billwiller introduced the idea of sucking air into the flame at or just below the burner tip, and at this juncture the Naphey or Dolan burner was introduced in America, the principle employed being to use two small and widely separated jets instead of the two openings of the union jet burner, and to make each a minute bunsen, the acetylene dragging in from the base of the nipple enough air to surround and protect it while burning from contact with the steatite.

Barrett further showed by using smoke jets that the flame is not essential.

A jet or jets of water impinge on the cups, the interiors of which are shaped in such a way that the jet is discharged parallel to its original direction.

By introducing perforated shields of ebonite between the electrodes, so that the full current-density was only attained at the centres of the jets, these ill effects could be prevented.

The application of these results to actual jets presents no great difficulty.

In this case drops which break away with different velocities are carried under the action of gravity into different paths; and thus under ordinary circumstances a jet is apparently resolved into a " sheaf," or bundle of jets all lying in one vertical plane.

In another form of the experiment, which, though perhaps less striking to the eye, lends itself better to investigation, the collision takes place between two still unresolved jets issuing horizontally from glass nozzles in communication with reservoirs containing water.

In the absence of dust and greasy contamination, the obliquely colliding jets may rebound from one another without coalescence for a considerable time.

In this condition there is complete electrical insulation between the jets, as may be proved by the inclusion in the circuit of a delicate galvanometer, and a low electro-motive force.

But if the difference of potential exceed a small amount (i or 2 volts), the jets instantaneously coalesce.

This view is confirmed by experiments in which other gases are substituted for air as the environment of colliding jets.

The transverse vibrations of non-circular jets allow us to solve a problem which at first sight would appear to be of great difficulty.

As early as 1869 Dupre had arrived at a similar conclusion from experiments upon the vertical rise of fine jets.

Both locations have a history of Iraqi antiaircraft artillery firing on coalition jets.

Planes The United Express fleet includes 50 seat regional jets that have state of the art avionics and communications systems in the cockpit.

However, the jets of water in a whirlpool bath are at much higher pressure.

The environment will continue to be destroyed while the wealthy travel in private jets, protected by bodyguards.

Unlike normal contrails behind commercial jets which dissipate quickly, these lingered for hours, came together and obscured the sky.

It was really nice and warm in the sunlight with a blue sky crisscrossed by contrails from the jets going to Manchester airport.

Carolyn has also become a bit of a globetrotter and jets off to various far flung destinations with her mom.

A fire was discovered in the hallway and was quickly extinguished by 2 firefighters wearing breathing apparatus using hosereel jets.

The experiment allows researchers to test models of the complex hydrodynamics as these jets interact with the surrounding media.

Most photo-quality inkjet devices use print heads with hundreds of very small jets that eject the ink onto the media.

The historic Concorde fleet of seven supersonic jets made its last flights in October after 34 years of air supremacy.

Take Rolls Royce's series of Trent aircraft engines, which have captured 70% of the world market in wide-bodied jets.

The incident was near to bridge number 8. Eighty gallons of diesel were on board and 2 hose reel jets were used.

A whirlpool is made by installing venturi jets into the side of a bath through which water is re-circulated using a powerful pump.

The fire was tackled by dividing the area into two sectors and using hose reel jets and high pressure lances.

Mystery Jets have a little mystique surrounding them, which is great.

The implications for high energy neutrino, gamma ray and cosmic ray production in GRB and AGN jets are discussed.

Since 1991, when US fighter jets put northern Iraq off-limits to Iraqi forces, life has improved.

The Mystery Jets also charmed the pants off us.

Both high and low mass protostars often possess powerful jets and outflows.
