0 not advanced: --
1 towards the direction that is the opposite to the one in which you are facing: --
He did a fantastic backward somersault.
2 not doing something immediately or quickly, because you are nervous or not certain about it: --
I usually find that my partner is not backward in suggesting different options.
3 → backwards mainly UK --
4 toward the direction that is opposite to the one in which you are facing or opposite to the usual direction: --
5 directed toward the back or in the direction that is opposite to the one in which you are facing: --
He did a terrific backward somersault.
First, the augmented ranking rule points to interesting new directions in understanding backward anaphora.
On a backward-looking basis, real rates still remained negative but, depending on estimation methods, rose sharply forward-looking.
As in the preceding section, the forward-looking solutions of transition paths are computed backward, starting from the last period of the transition. 15.
In fact, a human-like motion requires that right arm moves forward while right leg moves backward and similarly for the other leg and arm.
Interactions of group by forward versus backward masking were not significant, suggesting that deficits in forward and backward masking were comparable.
The eigenvalues and eigenvector s are those of one dimensional compressible fluid dynamics, namely the forward and backward sound waves and contact discontinuity solutions.
The forward and backward density waves at l j have the same intensity and sign.
On the other hand, the energy modulation in the linear regime is described by the difference between the forward and backward density waves.
