In 1931 American chemical engineer Samuel Kistler invented the lightest known solid--an aerogel--by drying a form of silicon dioxide (a raw material for glass) under intense pressure and high temperature.
Basic rooms are 250 square feet (23 square meters) with what the designers call a raw, industrial-chic aesthetic that includes 12-foot (3.6-meter) concrete ceilings and distressed hardwood floors.
This is a very fast camera in every respect (bar an occasional lag writing RAW files to memory) with a tack-sharp, super-fast lens, pleasingly fast autofocus, a great, bright screen, and rock-solid feeling controls that are right where your fingers need them to be.

The Yuki-tsumugi technique is employed to produce pongee silk (also called raw silk) - a light and warm material with a characteristic stiffness and softness, traditionally used to make kimonos.
Just as companies take raw materials and refine them into products, so (increasingly) do they also take raw information and add value from a chain of five activities: information gathering, organising, selecting, synthesising and distributing.
Certain raw materials like grains ( NYSE:JJG ) have a somewhat fixed level of supply and no attempt to increase that supply, such as fertilizer improvements through companies like Monsanto ( NYSE:MON) have been developed to meet that supply.

The steel mill he bought in 1989 was part of Ford's great River Rouge plant, where the father of mass-produced cars turned raw materials into vehicles on a single site (see box, opposite).
Americans aren't feeling higher prices in the form of inflation yet (raw commodities are a small proportion of final food and product costs), but shipping methods are changing.
Esca is known for its fresh fish, particularly its crudo (Italian-style raw fish), and Pasternack was the subject of a fawning 2005 profile in The New Yorker.
Though both pack 4K CMOS imagers, there are some major differences -- the higher-end PMW-F55 has a global shutter, wider color gamut and can capture 4k, 2k or HD video internally, while the PMW-F5 records 2k and HD natively with a rolling shutter (4k requires an optional RAW recorder, as discussed below).

Serious economic dislocations are emerging due to a 30-percent rate of inflation, a nationwide cash squeeze, shortages in foreign exchange and raw materials (particularly coal), and massive corruption.

In the past nine months, OK Cupid has sold its raw data (redacted or made anonymous to protect the privacy of its customers) to half a dozen academics.
The twist here is that only Android fans with small hands and no need for raw processing power need apply, as there's only a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 chipset (MSM7225) and 512MB RAM running the magic behind the show.
Today's Sony PS3 unveiling has opened up a world of questions regarding how Microsoft expects to maintain a competitive edge against a system that will supposedly have more than double the raw processing power, a next-gen media drive (Blu-ray, in this case), two-generation backwards compatibility, and even support for 1080p hi-def.

These work by binding chemically to that enzyme's active site to inhibit its action. (Protease cuts the raw chain of virus protein produced by a subverted cell into functional molecules.) However, the mechanism is not quite identical.
As Apple is using the reply-to address of a message's User Data Header to identify the origin rather than the raw source, receiving iPhone owners risk being fooled by a phishing attack (or just a dishonest acquaintance) that poses as a contact or a company.

Take Sharp, which since 2000 has led the world in solar panels sold (it dropped to No. 2 last year in the midst of a silicon raw-material shortage).
Senator CHRISTOPHER DODD (Democrat, Connecticut): It is very uncommon for a policy-maker to seek raw data.
Readers of a paper (including the peer reviewers) have to trust that the researchers correctly converted raw data and experimental conditions to abbreviated formats.

By contrast, Jean Weissenbach and his colleagues at Genoscope in France made their estimate by comparing the raw human sequence now available (about 60% of the total when their paper was written) with that of a puffer fish.
The VG900 is compatible with E-mount lenses, and it's a fine stills shooter (like the A99, it's capable of 14-bit RAW captures), but it's best suited for high-end video production, where it offers 1080p recording at 24 or 60 frames-per-second through a sensor that features 45 times the area of a conventional camcorder.

Influence aside and one might argue that the Vervoordt look, if it can be so described, has already been widely disseminated at more comfortable price points by the Belgian chain Flamant it's an open question whether what works in a Belgian chateau easily translates, in anything but raw size (another common critique of Restoration's products), to an Orange County McMansion.
Fairly or not, Blackshaw has come to represent the "academic" side of the acoustic guitar (as opposed to the raw American Primitive sound of the late Jack Rose), so it's a surprising and somewhat ballsy move to put aside the full, resonant sound of a 12-string acoustic for the staccato feel of the electric guitar, with all the rock baggage that instrument carries.
Crowd-sourcing the analytics is quite a smart (and cheap) way for this big data company to create added value from its raw data.
