Simmental is an influential breed of cattle whose history dates back to the Middle Ages. Early records indicate that Simmental cattle were the result of a cross between large German cattle and a smaller breed indigenous to Switzerland. The name Simmental is derived from the name of the area where the cattle were first bred-the Simme Valley.

At the lowest level of the control framework are the intersection control nodes.

DEF

Strokes played between delivery of service and completion of a point; trading of shots between opponents before someone finally fails to make a return and consequently loses the point.

CONT

If you yourself are forced wide, with your opponent moving to cover a sideline return, a cross court response can put you back in the rally.

CONT

Sampras won the 22-stroke rally with a crosscourt backhand to break Agassi for the set and, as it turned out, to break his spirit as well.

CONT

You can advance the cause of your pairing by improving the ability to use the player nearer the net [net guard] to intervene, or fake to do so, in the exchanges.

OBS

Slight nuance between the English terms "rally" and "exchange". In a "rally", the ball must bounce; the term implies an "exchange" of groundstrokes. One can have an "exchange" of any type of shot, for instance, an exchange of volleys, where the ball never touches the ground. Moreover an "exchange" takes place between points; whereas a "rally" can take place between players simply wanting to hit a few balls without keeping score. In Spanish the term "intercambio" is generic. Therefore it means either "rally" or "exchange", depending on the context - "un intercambio de voleas de cerca, un intercambio de golpes de revés". Furthermore, one can use the term "exchange" in English when referring specifically to the length of a rally, i.e. the number of consecutive balls that pass over the net, as in the phrase "At Wimbledon, there were nary an exchange that exceeded 4 shots".

PHR

Baseline, close-quarter exchange, 10-shot rally. Stroke, tempo of a rally.

PHR

PHR

To break up, dictate, extend, finish off, slow down, sustain a rally. To buy time in a rally. To have control of a rally. To take the pace out of a rally. To gain ascendancy in the rally.

Le point natté grec demande un fil bien tordu, ce qui fait bien ressortir en relief la natte formée par le point. Le plus souvent, il est employé comme point de consolidation, pour arrêter un bord qui sera effrangé ultérieurement ou simplement coupé.

CONT

The Space Shuttle stops within 50 meters of Mir, which is approximately one-half the length of a football field. From that position the Space Shuttle waits for clearance from Mission Control to continue. When the command is given to continue, the Reaction Control System is activated again and the Space Shuttle closes in on Mir at a speed of about 0. 05 meters per second until it reaches a distance of about 9 meters. There, the Space Shuttle stops again and waits for approximately 5 minutes. The Commander and Pilot make sure they can see the docking target clearly and fine-tune the alignment of the Space Shuttle with the docking target. A large black cross called the Stand-off Cross is mounted 30 centimeters(cm) above the back plate in the center of the target. When the Commander has the Stand-off Cross squarely in line with the docking target, he or she maneuvers the Space Shuttle and makes contact with the docking ring. Once a series of hooks is engaged, the Space Shuttle is then successfully docked with Mir.

Wheat is a self-pollinating crop. A variety is a uniform and true breeding population tracing back to one plant. These "one plants" are selected by the wheat breeder from the segregating populations that occur over several generations following(usually) a cross between two distinct varieties. Pure or true breeding plants, and thus new varieties, are not usually obtained earlier thant some six or seven generations following the cross.

CONT

Mendel started his experiments with true-breeding plant varieties, which he then hybridized in controlled crosses. In other words, he took true breeding plants for one trait (e.g. homozygotes for tall stem) and crossed them with true breeding plants for the opposite trait (e.g. homozygotes for short stem).

Le principe est le suivant: croisement initial de l'espèce cultivée par l'espèce sauvage et recroisement successifs (backcross) durant 5 à 10 générations de l'hybride interspécifique par l'espèce cultivée [...].

Menger's triadic fractal sponge. Karl Menger selects a different trema, shaped like a cross with spikes front and back, consisting of N=20 subcubes of side 1/3, connected to one another. Among them, 12 form "rods" or ropes, and the remaining 8 are knots, connectors, or ties.(...) I call it a sponge, because both the curd and the whey are connected sets.
