Harpings, or harpens
| Глоссарий морской лексики и терминологии (английский язык) |
The fore-parts of the wales which encompass the bow of a ship, and are fastened to the stem, being thicker than the after-part of the wales, in order to strengthen the ship in that place where she sustains the greatest shock of resistance in plunging into the sea, or dividing it, under a great pressure of sail. also, the pieces of oak, similar to ribbands, but trimmed and bolted to the shape of the body of the ship, which hold the fore and after cant bodies together, until the ship is planked. but this term is mostly applicable to those at the bow; hence arises the phrase “clean and full harpings.” harpings in the bow of a vessel are decried as rendering the ship uneasy.—cat harpings. the legs which cross from futtock-staff to futtock-staff, below the tops, to girt in the rigging, and allow the lower yards to brace sharp up.

Resistance, английский
- Property of a conductor that opposed the current flow produced by a given difference of potential. the ohm is the practical unit of resistance.
- Уровень сопротивления - уровень цен, при котором активные продажи могут приостановить или развернуть тенденцию к повышению;
- Сопротивление (параметр)
- Сопротивление
- Сопротивление, т. е. уровень цен, при котором активные продажи могут приостановить или развернуть тенденцию к повышению.
- 1. the ability of a person not to get a disease 2. the ability of bacteria or a virus to remain unaffected by a drug the bacteria have developed a resistance to certain antibiotics. 3. opposition to a force
- Resistencia
- Устойчивость; резистентность resource for child health (reach)
- Устойчивость; резистентность
- The property of opposing movement, for example [1] electrical conductors offer resistance to the flow of electricity and dissipate some of its energy, usually as heat. [2] water resists the movement of vessels or other objects by parasitic drag, consuming some of the power available to drive the vessel forward.
- Imperviousness of the coating to mechanical, chemical, physical or weather influences
- Capacity of a member or component, or a cross-section of a member or component of a structure, to withstand actions without mechanical failure e.g. bending resistance, buckling resistance, tension resistance
- A material’s ability to restrict the flow of electrical current through itself. measured in ohms.
- The opposition of a circuit to the flow of current . resistance is measured in ohms, and can be calculated by dividing the voltage by current.
- The ability to impede (resist) the flow of electric current. with the exception of superconductors, all substances have a greater or lesser degree of resistance. substances with very low resistance, such as metals, conduct electricity well and are called conductors. substances with very high resistance, such as glass and rubber, conduct electricity poorly and are called nonconductors or insulators.
- An effective upper bound on prices achieved because of many willing sellers at that price level.
- Capacity of a component, or cross section of a component of a structure to
- The opposition to the flow of an electrical current through a conductor or circuit that does not include inductive or capacitive elements. it can be expressed as the ratio of the applied voltage to the current.
- Resistance is the opposition to the flow of an electrical current through a conductor. its unit is the ohm.
Applicable, английский
- Применимый
- Astm test, in which a selected species of untreated lumber has a designated value of 100, and noncombustible cementasbestos board has a value of 0. flame-spread rating a measurement of flame spread on the surface of a material (or an assemblage of materials) as determined by procedures described in the applicable code.
- Применимый; пригодный; приложимый

Harpoon, or harpago, английский
A spear or javelin with a barbed point, used to strike whales and other fish. the harpoon is furnished with a long shank, and has at one end a broad and flat triangular head, sharpened at both edges so as to penetrate the whale with facility, but blunt behind to prevent its cutting out. to the other end a fore-ganger is bent, to which is fastened a long cord called the whale-line, which lies carefully coiled in the boat in such a manner as to run out without being interrupted or entangled. several coils, each 130 fathoms of whale-line (soft laid and of clean silky fibre) are in readiness; the instant the whale is struck the men cant the oars, so that the roll may not immerse them in the water. the line, which has a turn round the bollard, flies like lightning, and is intensely watched. one man pours water on the smoking bollard, another is ready with a sharp axe to cut, and the others see that the lines run free. seven or eight coils have been run out before the whale “sounds,” or strikes bottom, when he rises again to breathe, and probably gets a similar dose.—gun harpoon. a weapon used for the same purpose as the preceding, but it is fired out of a gun, instead of being thrown by hand; it is made entirely of steel, and has a chain or long shackle attached to it, to which the whale-line is fastened. greener`s harpoon-gun is a kind of wall-piece fixed in a crutch, which steps into the bow-bollard of the whale-boat. the harpoon projects about four inches beyond the muzzle. it consists of its barbed point attached to a long link, with a solid button at its opposite end to fit the gun; on one rod of this link is a ring which runs to the muzzle, and is there attached to the whale-line by a thong of seal or walrus hide, wet. the gun being fired, the harpoon is projected, the ring sliding up to the button, when the line follows. some of these harpoons or other engines have grenades—glass globules with prussic acid or other chemicals—which sicken the whale instantly, and little trouble ensues.
