Some of the technological applications of superconductivity include: the production of sensitive magnetometers based on SQUIDs fast digital circuits, powerful superconducting electromagnets used in maglev trains, magnetic resonance imaging and Nuclear magnetic resonance machines, magnetic confinement fusion reactors, and the beam-steering and focusing magnets used in particle accelerators low-loss power cables RF and microwave filters fast fault current limiters high sensitivity particle detecto
An antecedent is a thing that comes before something else. You might think rap music has no historical antecedent, but earlier forms of African-American spoken verse go back for centuries. In logic, mathematics, and grammar, the word antecedent (from Latin ante-, before + cedere, to yield) has the meaning the first part of a statement.. More generally, it means something that came before, and perhaps caused, something else..
The antecedentâthat is, the noun to which the participle refersâmust be clear to the readers in order for them to understand what's being said. Otherwise, an action may be subscribed to the wrong player, such as flitting to athletes. That's called a dangling participle, because it's left dangling without a clear antecedent. Just as with compound subject-verb agreement when or links two or more subjects (see above, #9), proximity shows the link between a participle and its antecedent in English.
