  Jazz Double Bass - All about the Double Bass.
The double bass also differs from members of the violin family in that the shoulders are (sometimes) sloped, the back is often angled (both to allow easier access to the instrument, particularly in the upper range) and machine heads are almost always used for tuning.
The double bass bow is strung with either white or fl horsehair, or a combination of the two (known as "salt and pepper"), as opposed to the customary white horsehair used on the bows of other string instruments.
Double bass rosin is generally softer and stickier than violin rosin to allow the hair to grab the thicker strings better, but players use a wide variety of rosins that vary from quite hard (like violin rosin) to quite soft, depending on the weather, the humidity, and the skill and preference of the player.

 The Double Nozzle
Because the amount of spray drifting from the double nozzle (at any wind speed) was approximately double that of the coarse and the field rate was half, the total amount of AI drifting is approximately the same as for the coarse nozzle.
The dose-response curve for glyphosate through the double nozzle is very similar to that of the fine nozzle at low rates, and is intermediate between the coarse and fine nozzles at higher rates.
In a double nozzle sprayer trial using permethrin, 80% mortality was obtained at rates down to 25% and 100% mortality using label rate.

 The Double-Space Debate
The justification for double spacing seems to be that the typesetter will take the spacing into account when setting the type, normally a fully justified paragraph that will automatically increase the space between sentences.
I personally am a double spacer, not because I was raised that way, but because I agree that a sentence is it's own entity and should be divided from the next, and it is easier to read.
Double spaces tend to break the even colour of the line and 'stop' the movement of the eye when reading.

 The Double by Jose Saramago: Reviews
The Double is Saramago's most suspenseful story since Blindness, and is, strangely, his most optimistic as well.
In The Double, the writer appears less willing, more inclined to know better than his characters who they are and what they should do, and stubbornly refuses to explore with them the hidden, murky corners to which they so obviously lead him.
Throughout The Double there is an obvious archness, an authorial sneer at the fantastical subject matter that quickly distances the reader from any emotional involvement with either the character or his situation.

  Munch goes to the Double Wide Grill   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The key difference between the decor at, say, Quaker Steak and Lube and the one at the Double Wide is that Quaker Steak pretends to be a garage, while Double Wide actually was one.
The crab and corn fritters are said to be "better than a short line at the unemployment office." The pineapple and shrimp skewers go together like "brothers and sisters." (Eew.) There's even a "Section 8" TV dinner, an item that's classless on several levels (although at $22, this wasn't exactly a Section 8 price schedule).
The founders of the Double Wide are alleged to be Tessie Mae Hullficker, which is dangerously close to sounding like a swear word, and her husband, Hank.

  ESA - Space Science - Double Star overview
Double Star is a joint ESA/Chinese project to study the effects of the Sun on Earth's environment, and in particular the 'magnetotail', where storms of high-energy particles are generated.
A key aspect of ESA's participation in the Double Star project is the inclusion of seven instruments that are identical to those currently flying on the four Cluster spacecraft.
In September 1999, the ESA Director-General was invited by the Administrator of the China National Space Administration (CNSA) to discuss the collaboration on the Double Star programme.

  The Double - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arsenal are the only club to win a double in more than one decade (1970s, 1990s and 2000s), and United's three 1990s double illustrate their near domination of English football at that time.
A rarer double in English domestic football is that of the League Championship and the League Cup.
Inter Milan in Italy earned the double in an unusual manner in the same season, being awarded the Serie A title to go along with their on-field win in the Coppa Italia after initial league champions Juventus were stripped of the title in the aftermath of the 2006 Serie A scandal.

 Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The presence of the first slit is necessary to ensure that the light reaching the double slit is light from a single point source.
The path length from the single slit to the double slit is equally important for obtaining the interference pattern as the path from the double slit to the screen.
The experimental facts are so highly reproducible that there is virtually no argument about them, but the appearance of there being an uncaused event has aroused a great deal of cognitive dissonance and attempts to account for the unexpected results.

 The Invention of the Double Horn
When Horner began using the double horn in 1899 other hornists tried to discredit his work (and success) by saying that he used a "freak" horn [ibid], but the double horn was here to stay.
The double horn, in terms of design, did pull the valved horn even further away from its natural horn roots, but the invention clearly allowed horn players to better meet the demands placed on them with less of a tonal compromise.
Finally, while the double horn did in general solve the problem of the choice between the single F and B-flat horns, and also eliminated the general issue of the use of crooks, it did not solve the other problems of horn players.

 Double revision - The Boston Globe
Mention the double live album and a host of '70s-era images flash to mind, none very pleasant: prog-rock bands with 20-minute drum solos, side-length instrumentals, ''Frampton Comes Alive." Following such indiscretions, the double live album became a symbol of the era's overindulgence, the untrammeled will to absurdity that represented pre-punk rock music's fatal bloat.
With the double live album evolving into a hybridized future set to include both CDs and DVDs, it is fitting that Wilco, itself a hybrid group (part country and part alternative, part avant-garde and part commercial) should step up as the format's flag bearer.
The double live album, at its best simultaneously grandiose and intimate, demands such variety, and wherever the format heads in the future, it will retain the interest of fans and critics only by following the template laid out by Wilco.

 The Double: by José Saramago Translated from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa from Harcourt Trade Publishers
He goes into the living room to find that the VCR is replaying the video, and as he watches in astonishment he sees a man who looks exactly like him--or, more specifically, exactly like the man he was five years before, mustachioed and fuller in the face.
A gripping, ingenious, and strange-yet-familiar story, an accessible yet philosophical narrative of surreal whimsy and nightmarish confusion, The Double is worthy of Camus, Calvino, Dostoevsky, Kafka--and David Lynch.
Q> "Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered." This phrase appears as one of the novel's two epigraphs, and is also presented later in the book as a profound yet off-the-cuff remark made by Maria da Paz to her boyfriend.

 The Double Deckers Associated Programmes and Movies
The director of The Double Deckers, Harry Booth, and the producer Roy Simpson worked together on a few projects which are closely linked to the Double Deckers, with the cast and crew often including the same people.
Like the Double Deckers the music was provided by Ivor Slaney, with the main theme being a cheeky rewrite of The Magnificent Seven theme (from the famous western), which of course was what the title was a parody of.
Unlike the Double Deckers there were not many songs, although in the episode Peewee's Pianola the gang sing a version of the music hall song "My Old Man" accompanied by the pianola as they ride through the streets.

Even though the double bass was invented around the same time as other string instruments, many people thought it wasn't necessary.
The double bass acts as an anchor for the string section and is an important part of the lowest voices of modern orchestras.
The double bass is a very important instrument in the orchestra because it plays low notes that most other instruments can't play.

 Matador Records | The Double
Reminder — The Double are playing a free record release party in New York THIS FRIDAY aboard the Frying Pan, which is moored at W. 23rd St. and the West Side Highway at the Chelsea Piers.
The Double approach rock songwriting with a diverse vocabulary and instrumentation that layers vocal harmony and heavy distorted keyboards onto a disorienting yet exacting array of percussive sounds.
But for the Brooklyn-based foursome the Double, noise-metallic clacks and supersonic crackles, crumpling guitars and disappearing vocals-is an accessory that sweetly disorders melody, a union that entreats and welcomes rather than confuses and commandeers.

He goes into the living room to find that the VCR is replaying the video, and as he watches in astonishment he sees a man who looks exactly like him-or, more specifically, exactly like the man he was five years before, mustachioed and fuller in the face.
As he establishes the man's identity, what begins as a whimsical story becomes a dark meditation on identity and, perhaps, on the crass assumption behind cloning-that we are merely our outward appearance rather than the sum of our experiences.
It comes in all shapes and sizes, [and] is one of the most complex, most retold, and richest of our fables.

 Discussion Paper 2004-DP03: Changing the Mapping for the Double-Wide Diacritics from MARC8 to Unicode/UCS from the ...
Another way to represent the double-width tilde and the ligature in Unicode is to use single diacritic characters that span two alphabetic characters: the combining double tilde and combining double inverted breve.
Because there are other characters besides the double ligature that do not display well in browsers, participants agreed that the committee should look at the larger issues of implementing and mapping to Unicode.
Users will be confused when the ligature or double tilde appears correctly on the library system, but not when the bibliographic record is downloaded to a different environment.

 BBC - Comedy Guide - Here Come The Double Deckers
Shot in England, where it was sometimes screened as simply The Double Deckers, this fondly remembered US comedy-adventure for children proved popular on both sides of the Atlantic.
The stories centred on a gang of children whose clubhouse was a double-decker bus situated in a junk yard.
A big-screen appearance for the Double Deckers came courtesy of the 1972 Rank/20th Century-Fox feature film Go For A Take (produced and directed by Deckers Roy Simpson and Harry Booth), in which two waiters (Reg Varney and Norman Rossington) hide from gangsters at a film studio.
