But it's not simply a large-scale crime wave either.

但是，它也不是一场单纯的大规模犯罪浪潮。

Engineers have built dozens of the machines, called wave-energy converters, and tested some on a small scale.

工程师们已经造出了几十种被称作“波浪-能量转换器”的机器，其中一部分还通过了小批量测试。

These could be used to produce energy on a large scale, in wave-power generators, or on a small scale, by integrating small, lightweight devices into the heels of shoes.

这一装置可用于水力发电机，能产生巨大的能量，也可做成轻便的小型发电设备，放进鞋跟里。

Well, this is in a stationary orbit so we need to have a standing wave. Not to scale.

在静止的轨道中,我们需要的是驻波，不是要去测量。

But once we got to the atomic size scale, what happens is we need to be taking into account the fact that matter has these wave-like properties, and we'll learn more about that later, but essentially classical mechanics does not take that into account at all.

但一到到了原子尺度量级，我们必须考虑到物质,这时候有波动性质,关于这点我们今后将会学到更多,但本质上经典力学并,没有考虑这个性质。

The project aims to create the world's first large scale wave energy farm by constructing a wave hub, or "socket", on the seabed.

Nonetheless, Kolar says that the industry has seen a surge of interest in the last year, particularly from developers who have the capital and experience to deploy full-scale wave energy projects, and from government officials in island countries who see in wave power a clear path to energy independence.

Assuming that one has broadly diversified municipal bond holdings, the threat would not seem to come from a biblical-scale wave of defaults. (I must admit that we have no data on muni defaults during biblical times.) The bigger threat to a broadly diversified muni portfolio would seem to be the typical market cycles of run-up followed by correction followed by run-up.
