Her quick action saved the child's life.

I read the action report from Operation Shingle.

These unities were basically the unity of time, space and action.

And the action is not limited to one plot.

The seagrass beds, in turn, dampen wave action, particularly if the blades reach the water surface.

Exactly. I mean, can you imagine trying to show all that action, a giant animal rising out of the sea?

This binding action prevents the ice crystals from growing larger.

Without this muscular action, inhaling is like sucking air out of a balloon—the narrow passages tend to collapse.

In addition, breathing during REM depends much more on the action of the diaphragm and much less on rib cage action.

When researchers had one year olds imitate an action sequence one year after they first saw it, there was correlation between the children's verbal skills at the time they first saw the event and their success on the later memory task.

This striking action is why the piano is a percussion instrument instead of a string instrument.

However, most of its internal heat comes from the action of its muscles.

The Independent Television Commission, regulator of television advertising in the United Kingdom, has criticized advertisers for "misleadingness"—creating a wrong impression either intentionally or unintentionally—in an effort to control advertisers' use of techniques that make it difficult for children to judge the true size, action, performance, or construction of a toy.

Well, first, the purpose of the hero’s action was different.

Adults used props, uh, toys or other objects to demonstrate an action that had 2 steps.

The children were asked to imitate the steps immediately and then again after delays of one or more months, and even after a delay, the children could…could recall or replicate the action, the objects used, the steps involved and the order of the steps, even children as young as 9 months!

So you get more details about the characters, about where the action takes place, what people's houses were like, ur, whether they're small cabins or grand palaces.

You will have 30 minutes to choose proper disciplinary action.

Ideomotor action is an activity that occurs without our noticing it, without our being aware of it.

Similarly, wind action has scoured fine particles away from large areas, depositing them elsewhere as vast sand seas dominated by dunes or in sheets of loess (fine-grained soil deposits).

Last but not least of these considerations is the effort and resources required in this type of action, which need to be justified by evidence of the likely benefits.

The action of natural selection in producing a small but highly significant step of evolution was seemingly demonstrated, with birds as the selecting force.

While the last of these possible causes remains speculative, define clues exist for the action of the first two causes.

The slowing of wave action and currents means that seagrass beds tend to accumulate sediment.

The action takes place in France.

The actors looked right in our eyes, even moved us around, involved us in the action.

And...well...in A Midsummer Night's Dream, of course the action in that play takes place on a single summer's night, but in Shakespeare's other plays, in Hamlet, for example, time elapses.

A libel action is being brought against the magazine that published the article.

She really found that this helped her work--that it gave her an understanding of body movements and actions, how humans move, and stand still, what their postures were like, too.
