And by then, Nic would have picked one or two.

He was thinking about Nic, how the two of them had become pals.

The second shot had been fired when Nic was down.

He wanted revenge for Nic, no matter what the price.

I got optimistic about making music again through my friends down there, like Nic.

So they did it together and Nic was the cameraman.

Nic was coming, his feet grinding one of the records into the floor.

Different actors play Nic at ages 5, 12 and 16.

Nic has played poker in over 10 countries to date.

That year they found Nic who became the bass player.

Maybe Nic was right, maybe he really could do better.

And Nic had got talking to this other girl.

Who was to say Nic had it so good?

He was a bit of a wiz with light, old Nic.

Nic Robertson began reporting live within hours of the strikes.

The cause was complications of bone cancer, said his son Nic.

And now here they were together in the car, and Nic was having a go at him.

He finished his pint and followed Nic out of the club.

Who knew what Nic was doing behind his back, all the nights they didn't meet?

And nobody would ever have taken a shot at us like they did poor old Nic."

Nic had his jacket open, didn't look to be feeling the cold at all.

Nic was the one the girls went for, Jerry hanging back to see if any of them would find him worth talking to.

Nic had never let him drive it, never once offered.

He wondered if Nic would have thought of that.

Nic will have soft doors on the inside so people won't get hurt.

The new methods made work force obsolete and brought higher competition from Newly industrialized countries.

Many newly industrialized countries have been trying to establish scientific institutions, but with limited success.

There are still the newly industrialized countries, with labor rates far below those of the United States.

The way to fight the Japanese and the newly industrialized countries is to build state-of-the-art facilities that can stand on their own feet.

These regions were the first newly industrialized countries.

The industrialized world and the newly industrialized countries will have slower growth in 1989.

The goal behind their implementation is to stimulate "new growth and competitiveness in newly industrialized countries" (469 Lewis).

Instead it is often grouped in a second tier of emerging markets or of newly industrialized countries.

Both nations are newly industrialized countries and regional powers and are members of the G20.

The report said that among newly industrialized countries, Singapore grew a modest 1.9 percent in 1986 after a 1.8 percent decline in 1985.

In the last decade, foreign competition has intensified as newly industrialized countries took advantage of low-cost ocean transport, cheap labor and efficient new plants.

There was an even sharper drop in the United States deficit with the newly industrialized countries of the Far East.

During the 1970s steel crisis, demand for steel declined, and the Western world faced competition from newly industrialized countries.

Living standards improved significantly in the newly industrialized countries as the prices of goods fell dramatically due to the increases in productivity.

On morning talk shows, guests casually refer to "los nic's" - the newly industrialized countries.

Newly industrialized countries are emerging markets whose economies have not yet reached first world status but have, in a macroeconomic sense, outpaced their developing counterparts.

International competition, from the newly industrialized countries, will cause unemployment growth and increased wage disparity for unskilled workers in industrialized countries.

The trade deficit improved, in fact, with all newly industrialized countries, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea.

More importantly for the future, American companies still have a long way to go to be fully competitive against the newly industrialized countries of the Pacific Basin.

The country's per-capita gross domestic product rose to $380, lower than the bottom ranks of Asia's newly industrialized countries, but better than India's.

The newly industrialized countries of East Asia, notably Taiwan and South Korea, will have to account for $30 billion or so.

Few Restrictions In some parts of the third world, particularly the newly industrialized countries of Asia, the services sector is actually growing more rapidly than manufacturing.

Additionally, many foreign factory owners in newly industrialized countries and underdeveloped countries saw the attempts to impose pollution controls on them as suspicious... "

The American position improved against all four of the newly industrialized countries of the Far East, with the aggregate deficit cut almost in half to $560 million.

In the second half of the 20th century, West Germany, Japan and the newly industrialized countries of Asia have similarly made exports a high priority.

The negative impedance converter is an example of such a circuit.

This is usually synthesized using a negative impedance converter circuit.

One standard design is realized by connecting two negative impedance converters in parallel.

The negative impedance converter originated from work by Marius Latour around 1920.

Once active components are permitted, however, a negative element can easily be implemented with a negative impedance converter.

For example, it is possible to create negative capacitance and inductance with negative impedance converter circuits.

A common example of an "active resistance" circuit is the negative impedance converter (NIC) shown in the diagram.

A typical application is a negative impedance converter with voltage inversion (VNIC).

Negative impedance converter (NIC)

A negative impedance converter (NIC) is a simple op amp circuit that has negative resistance.

Another implementation uses one negative impedance converter to create the negative resistance characteristic, and a diode-resistor network to create the nonlinear characteristic.

At the far right is a negative impedance converter made from three linear resistors and an operational amplifier, which implements the locally active resistance (negative resistance).

Similarly, applying a voltage to the negative impedance converter below greater than its power supply voltage V will cause the amplifier to saturate, also making its resistance positive.

The negative of any impedance can be produced by a negative impedance converter (INIC in the examples below), including negative capacitance and negative inductance.

The negative impedance converter (NIC) is a one-port op-amp circuit acting as a negative load which injects energy into circuits in contrast to an ordinary load that consumes energy from them.

The two versions obtained are accordingly a negative impedance converter with voltage inversion (VNIC) and a negative impedance converter with current inversion (INIC).

Some circuits and elements exhibiting negative resistance can also act in a similar way: negative impedance converters (NIC), neon lamps, tunnel diodes (e.g., a diode with an "N"-shaped current-voltage characteristic in the first quadrant), etc.

These arrangements explain important circuit phenomena about modifying impedance (Miller effect, virtual ground, bootstrapping, negative impedance, etc.) and help in designing and understanding various commonplace circuits (feedback amplifiers, resistive and time-dependent converters, negative impedance converters, etc.).
