0 the part of a nut that is inside the shell and can be eaten --
1 the most important part of something, although it might not always be easy to find: --
There is often a kernel of truth in what they say.
2 the edible part of a nut that is inside the shell, or the whole seed of a grain plant: --
The installation consisted of a gilded chest containing corn kernels which was placed at a corner of a dark room (figure 5).
However, beetles within kernels were gently probed to determine if they were still alive before transferring to the fresh media.
However, they were split over the issue of further increases to the existing prices for palm oil and palm kernels.
We describe the different techniques currently sailing under this flag, and point out where and how kernels occur.
Compactly supported kernels occur naturally in the partition of unity, but they need not be positive definite.
We show how such kernels can be adapted to detect edges with one- and two-dimensional discrete data, with noisy data, and with incomplete spectral information.
In the end, though, neither of these kernels becomes a fully developed linear narrative.
I propose to use the numerically evaluated kernels in the general situation.
