The official propaganda machine went into overdrive when war broke out.
The cast was in overdrive, rehearsing for the first performance.
1 a state of great activity, effort, or hard work:
The show’s cast went into overdrive to prepare for the first performance.
There was no evidence of impaired sinoatrial conduction, sinus nodal dysfunction or incomplete sinus node suppression during overdrive stimulation.
The distinctive timbre produced reveals the probable use of an overdrive/distortion unit commonly used for electric guitars.
The general trend that is observed is that increasing the overdrive factor for a given explosive suppresses the inherent instabilities of the flow.
Transvenous overdrive atrial pacing was successful in one of 2 patients.
The effect of overdrive pacing led to progressive attenuation of afterdepolarizations at short cycle lengths.
The results show that as the overdrive factor is increased, stability is achieved and the most unstable modes are a t the lowest frequencies.
An example of this principle is the clipping caused by overdriving a guitar amplifier.
This rendition thus valued the sustaining quality of overdrive treatment over the duration of the distortion indicated in the score.
