There was one woman at work who one day wore some kind of skirt with suspenders and a white shirt, and the suspenders the math department could not help noticing each took a distinctly great-circle route from shoulder to skirt. ❋ Ann Althouse (2009)
I am not a geologist, but it seems to me that a planetary network of great-circle following, perfectly straight, nodally connected channels having beds graded so as to convey water from point to point, if it did exist, might be a devil of a thing to explain by nonintelligent causes. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Our voyaging is only great-circle sailing, and the doctors prescribe for diseases of the skin merely. ❋ Unknown (2004)
Hosmer asked Ogg to enter the bearings on a great-circle chart of the North Pacific Ocean that was kept in the intelligence office on Market Street in San Francisco. ❋ ROBERT B. STINNETT (2001)
Seventy uneventful minutes later, TR turned back east, taking the great-circle route for the Straits of Gibraltar. ❋ Clancy, Tom, 1947- (1991)
Pacific, led into migration by the eternal food quest, may have skirted the seaboard of East Asia and Northwest America, passing along a great-circle route through the succession of marginal seas and archipelagoes to various ports of entry on the Pacific front of America. ❋ Ellen Churchill Semple (1897)
For the geographic positioning of samples the great-circle coordinates of the respective capital of the country of origin, or the city where an individual population sample had been recruited was used. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Using Barrier 2.2 software, we also correlated geographic and genetic distances as measured by pair-wise F st and great-circle coordinates of capitals or the city where an individual population sample had been recruited, respectively. ❋ Mari Nelis Et Al. (2009)
Suppose an aircraft pilot wants to fl y a great-circle route from point R to point S, where: Lat R ¼ þ45: 008 Lon R ¼ À97: 008 Lat S ¼ þ8: 008 Lon S ¼ þ55: 008 The length of a geodesic (great-circle route) between these two points is approximately (a) 10,500 kilometers (b) 12,000 kilometers ❋ Unknown (2009)
PROBLEM 11-10 Suppose an aircraft pilot wants to fl y a great-circle route from point S to point R in the scenario of Problem 11-7. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The angle between two great-circle arcs on any sphere that intersect at a point Q can be de fi ned similarly. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The analysis was based upon great-circle coordinates of the cities where individual population samples were recruited and pair-wise Fst. The name of the city is indicated in the brackets in the left panel. ❋ Unknown (2009)
