	tail
		Tails relative to the end of the file may be saved in an internal buffer, and thus may be limited in length.
		The tail utility supports the XBD specification, Utility Syntax Guidelines, except that the obsolescent version accepts multi-character options that can preceded by a plus sign.
		Although the input file to tail can be any type, the results might not be what would be expected on some character special device files or on file types not described by the XSH specification.

	The Tail of the Magnetosphere (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The diffuse aurora was discovered by the Canadian spacecraft ISIS 2 in 1972, and it expands and contracts as the tail lobes swell and shrink due to variations in the solar wind and its magnetic field.
		If tail plasma continually leaks out of the plasma sheet, new ions and electrons must arrive to take its place, or else the plasma sheet would soon be drained and the extended tail field would quickly collapse.
		However, in the tail itself the earthward flow has been harder to confirm and seems to be rather irregular, coming in fits and bursts, especially during magnetic substorms.

	The Long Tail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The phrase The Long Tail (as a proper noun with capitalized letters) was first coined by Chris Anderson in a 2004 article in Wired magazine [1] to describe certain business and economic models such as Amazon.com or Netflix.
		The term long tail is also generally used in statistics, often applied in relation to wealth distributions or vocabulary use.
		The long tail is the colloquial name for a long-known feature of statistical distributions (Zipf, Power laws, Pareto distributions and/or general Lévy distributions).

		The drawstring, which was as thin as fishing line, had cut into his tail to the bone, three quarters of the way around its circumference and half an inch up from the tip.
		Roll the gauze around the tail then fold the gauze at the midpoint, bringing the free end back down the tail so the tail tip is sitting in a three-inch long nest of gauze.
		Wrap the tail about a third of the tail length and then wrap back down the tail so there are multiple layers of gauze, and you have used the entire one and a half rolls.

	Cold Tail, Limber Tail, Dead Tail
		Limber tail syndrome and "cold water tail" while known to those who work with hunting dogs, may not be familiar to veterinarians.
		The cause of limber tail is not known although it is thought to be associated with hard workouts (especially in underconditioned dogs), heavy hunting, and swimming or bathing in water that is too cold or too warm.
		Ongoing studies suggest that limber tail is associaed with muscle damage in the tail with dogs examined early in showing elevated muscle enzymes eg., creatine phosphokinase.

	Tail Rubbing - TheHorse.com
		Tail rubbing, commonly known as rat tail, broken hair, or matted tail, most often can be a symptom of pin worm infestation.
		Tail rubbing is a condition resulting from the horse's rubbing back and forth on an object--such as a fence post, feed buckets, or water buckets--in order to relieve the itching, or pruritis, which might be caused by the eggs of pinworms that are laid around a horse's anal area.
		Tail rubbing occurs in all regions and climates of the United States, although the problem is seen most often in warm and humid areas.

	V-tail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In aircraft, a V-tail (sometimes called a "butterfly tail") is an unconventional arrangement of the tail control surfaces that replaces the traditional fin and horizontal surfaces with two surfaces set in a V-shaped configuration when viewed from the front or rear of the aircraft.
		The rear of each surface is hinged, and these movable sections (sometimes called "ruddervators") combine the tasks of the elevators and rudder.
		With fewer surfaces than a conventional tail, the V-tail is lighter and produces less drag.

	man: tail
		The tail utility displays the contents of file or, by default, its stan- dard input, to the standard output.
		The tail utility is expected to be a superset of the IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'') specification.
		The only difference between this implementation and historic ver- sions of tail, once the command line syntax translation has been done, is that the -b, -c and -n options modify the -r option, i.e.

	V-Tails
		The calculation for equivalent stability is a little more complex, because the apparent change in angle of attack to a given disturbance for the V and conventional tails are not the same.
		The effective area of a V tail for pitch stability is equal to the total area times the cosine squared of the tail's dihedral angle.
		Depending on how much surplus tail the model had to begin with, the results may or may not be satisfactory.

	ANATOMY OF COMETS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dust tail: composed of small (smoke-sized) dust particles driven off the nucleus by escaping gases; this is the part of a comet that is easiest to see, and is not as long as the ion tail.
		The gaseous ion tail is pushed straight away from the Sun by the solar wind, while the brighter dust tail traces the comet's curved orbit.
		The ion tail is composed mostly of ions of water, carbon monoxide, and cyanogen.

	Ladywildlife's How Lizards Lose their Tail Page
		Many lizards have green or blue tails that are bright enough to distract a predator, yet not so conspicuous that they make the lizard easy to spot from far off.
		If a lizard is caught by its tail, it will contract the muscles in front of the weak area to split a vertebrae and shed the part of its tail held by the attacker.
		Tail Renewal: A regrown tail looks like the original tail, but there is often a joint or a change in color where the old tail broke off.

	The comet tail
		One tail is due to the comet's dust particles, the other is due to ionized gas from the comet coma.
		Ions (electrically charged particles), which first come from the nucleus as (neutral) gaseous particles, are swept into the second comet tail by interaction with the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF).
		The IMF, or magnetic field of the sun, which is present everywhere in interplanetary space, sweeps past the comet nucleus and carries the ions with it to form the tail.

	tail MAN Page
		No matter which method you use, if the tracked file is determined to have shrunk, `tail' prints a message saying the file has been truncated and resumes tracking the end of the file from the newly-determined endpoint.
		Use it to control how long `tail' follows the descriptor of a file that continues growing at a rapid pace even after it is deleted or renamed.
		`tail' accepts two option formats: the new one, in which numbers are arguments to the options (`-n 1'), and the old one, in which the number precedes any option letters (`-1' or `+1').

	Graded Tail (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The many tails that we fill the sky with add color and action to our kites, but as many tails as there are to fly off of our kites, there are ways to make those tails.
		The construction of this tail uses ideas gleaned from conversations with George Peters, who did quite a bit to promote and increase awareness of color in all parts of the sky, Hugh (Stretch) Tucker, who has always been willing to try something new, and numerous other people too many to remember or acknowledge.
		To build your tail, you will need two yards of fabric (two contrasting colors, 36”x41”), some string (a foot or so...) and a patch of heavy reinforcing cloth is very nice as well (1.5oz or heavier, 4”x10”).

	Dinosaur Tails - Enchanted Learning Software
		The tails of some dinosaurs could be useful in attaining a tripod stance, which was probably used to forage very tall vegetation and for mating.
		Ankylosaurids (like Euoplocephalus and Ankylosaurus) had bony nodules at the end of their tails that could easily have been used for defense, which would have been useful for these lumbering, plated grazers.
		This theory seems unlikely given the amount of physiological damage to tail tissue that would be caused by the sudden acceleration near the end of the tail (and the deceleration upon impact).

	Charles River Radio Controllers - A V-Tail Design Discussion
		The size needed is quite easy to find: If you have a conventional tail think of each surface as sides in a box, the stabilator being the bottom and the fin being the side, the width being the average width of tail and stabilator.
		Again, T-tails or tails with very low-set stabilators, like the F-4 Phantom fighter-bomber that have stabilators canted downwards to lower it's centre of lift, is probably the aerodynamically cleanest, but heavy, while the V-tails never are out of the wing wake, thus not ideal, but at the same time they are very difficult to stall.
		But, as fitting the stabilator to the tail cone is the lightest solution, they instead use stabilators canted upward, like they were part of a V-tail with a centre fin.

		The dust tail consists of dust particles that have been pushed out of the coma by radiation pressure from the sun.
		Compared to the ION tail, the dust tail is morphologically diffuse, and appears white or slightly pink (because the dust grains reflect sunlight slightly better at longer wavelengths than at shorter wavelengths).
		The dust particles in the tail are individually in orbit about the sun, each with slightly less attraction to the sun than the nucleus because of the effect of radiation pressure.

		The next morning her owner noted that her tail was not carried in its normal manner--two thirds of her tail hung limply behind her.
		The tail of the dog hangs down from the tail base or is held horizontal for three or four inches and then drops down.
		A flaccid tail episode appears to be a painful, but relatively benign affliction that can occur after swimming, after a heavy hunting day or even after a bath with cold water or water that is too warm.

		These instructions are partly derived from the tail building guide by Pounce/Nate Morse (pounce@vt.edu), who, however, uses one metal strap, stuffs the tail and has a different way of attaching it to the belt.
		Feel where your tail bone is (on the lower end of the spinal column, you have one too!), stand up barefooted and measure the height of the tail bone above the ground - that's a good length for a feline tail.
		In this case you will have to carry the tail in your hand, also on escalators where it might be caught in the mechanics.

		Thus, relatively massive dust tails are accelerated slowly and tend to be curved.
		The ion tail is much less massive, and is accelerated so greatly that it appears as a nearly straight line extending away from the comet opposite the Sun.

		Six months ago there was barely a pitch I heard that didn't include a slide entitled "Long Tail" or "The Long Tail of [fill in the vertical]," with the obligatory long tail curve.
		Impressively, it has taken less than a year of entrepreneurs explicitly referencing and explaining the Long Tail before it has become so well recognized and understood that it need only be implicated in passing without the same sort of fanfare as it used to receive.
		The question for VCs and entrepreneurs is "for whom?" I've had the good fortune over the last year or so to engage in a number of conversations about the economics of the Long Tail with Chris Anderson and to see those economics illustrated by innumerable Long Tail investment pitches.
