Astonishingly accurate results can be achieved with our leading-edge speech recognition software.
For companies in the U. S. to continue to be competitive, they need leading-edge research.
The goal of any organization is not to be leading-edge, but to be effective.
The leading-edge roughness analysed here could provide a similar path for the receptivity problem.
In the latter case leading-edge separation can further complicate the situation.
The amplitude and wavelength of this pressure wave will determine the loading in the leading-edge region and the associated noise radiation.
The t leading-edge coefficient grows gradually, at a rate that depends on the aggregate flow of innovations.
Furthermore, the confined states reported here are the first which exhibit stable leading-edge fronts in the absence of reflections from a wall.
