The reason is that if this analysis is internally consistent then we ought to be able to add layer-by-layer on to it until we get to the complete analysis.
Its prime target is the 18, 000-foot (5, 500-meter) peak at the center of Gale Crater, Mount Sharp, where scientists hope to get a layer-by-layer look at the history of the planet.
Wilson Palacios hauled down Aruna Dindane and former Tottenham star Kevin-Prince Boateng added another layer of irony on this semi-final of many sub-plots by rifling home the penalty.
OLETs rely on three layers of material, with the bottom layers carrying a charge, the middle layer (the meat in this high-tech sandwich) emitting photons when excited by the bottom, and the top layer selectively letting those photos through.

Behind a tinted glass panel 18-carat gold powder, laid down by a robot arm, sparkles as a laser fuses the metal into complex three-dimensional shapes, layer by layer.
These printers use something like a toothpaste tube of plastic or other material held vertically in an X-Y plotter that squirts out thin layers of tiny dots of material that build up, layer by layer, to produce a 3D replica of the computer-generated design.
FORBES: Why I Believe That This Will Be The Most Innovative Decade In History
To enable this material to store electrical energy, two layers of woven fibres are made into a sandwich, separated by a thin layer of a glass-based insulating material.
The hybrid disc works by making the Blu-ray layer act like a two way mirror, reflecting enough light for Blu-ray playback, but letting enough light through for HD DVD operation.

Gallium-nitride is manmade and not found in nature, and historically, LEDs are made by growing a gallium-nitride layer on top of a base material, which is typically sapphire or, more recently, silicon carbide.
Its brawny design including double-layer cinder-block walls reinforced by heavy duty steel bars and cement piers that plunge 30 feet into the ground should allow it to withstand winds up to 200 mph.

The technology works by building up layer upon layer of material - typically plastic - to build complex solid objects.
Stick the part in acid, run an electric current through it and we can increase the thickness of the layer by a factor of 20-40.
Rakuten offers an additional layer of support by providing e-commerce consultants and experts to advise merchants on their online business strategy, implementation, sales and marketing as well as lead and revenue generation.

Prof de With and his team found that by attaching these molecules on the end of polymer "stalks" and mixing these throughout the coating, any that are removed by scratches are replaced by a new, self-orientating layer.
Astra claims to have a unique three-layer formulation that protects the drug from being degraded by stomach acid.
They are beloved by gourmets for their single layer of large, easy-to-peel cloves.
Talks are complicated by the fact that -- unlike the ozone layer, in which it was clear solar rays that got through cause cancer -- climate change's health effects are generally indirect.
The application-layer FIX (financial information exchange) protocol is used by financial services firms, stock exchanges, and investment banks for automated financial trading.
And its latest warning - that global carbon dioxide emissions from energy use rose by 5% during 2010 - is casting a new layer of doubt on the ability of governments to meet the targets they've signed up to on curbing climate change.
While a single wind-turbine does not affect the global atmosphere, the installation of a large number of such devices will interfere with the atmospheric circulation and diminish the extraction efficiency on the large scale, since any extraction of momentum will act in competition with natural wind-power energy dissipation by turbulence in the boundary layer.

In each case, the resulting image is focused by a clever arrangement of lenses on to a three-layer sandwich made of special materials.
Deepening the gloom, another new Chinese law comes into effect on May 1st, subjecting any transfer of a state-controlled asset to yet another layer of review, this time by a local commission.
The mountain is a giant, putrid layer-cake, with dozens of strata of rubbish separated by soil and plastic liners designed to contain the brew of noxious chemicals that would otherwise leach into groundwater.
Historically, hardware divisions have been slow to recognise that this is not actually how customers buy products, and locked-down systems are slow to take advantage of the translation layer provided by smartphone and tablet apps.

Existing 3-D printers, also called rapid prototyping machines, build structures layer by layer.
Careful observers gained pleasure in a whole other layer of knowledge--less concrete, but more tantalizing--by watching the interaction of speaker and audience.
Cosgrove and his team worked on altering the stickiness of regular gum by changing its water-repellent qualities, encouraging water to form a layer around the substance so that it could be more easily removed from most surfaces.
Using a handheld glue gun, and armed with a home-cooked slurry of polyethylene and candle wax, he built the shape layer by layer.
And in yet another layer of IP complexity, server owners often incorporate software provided by third-party developers, and in some cases also hire people to write code to add customized features to the server.
