Examples of lead in the following topics:
-
Lead-Sheet and Figured-Bass Symbols
- The most common lead-sheet chord symbols for triads, seventh chords, and standard alterations orembellishments of those chords, along with corresponding thoroughbass figures.
-
Lead Storage Battery
- A lead storage battery, also known as a lead-acid battery, is the oldest type of rechargeable battery and one of the most common energy storage devices.
- In Planté's design of the lead-acid cell, the positive and negative plates were made out of two spirals of lead foil, separated with a sheet of cloth, and coiled up.
- A slow process of "forming" was required to corrode the lead foils, creating lead dioxide on the plates and roughening them to increase surface area.
- Each plate consists of a rectangular lead grid.
- The barium sulfate acts as a seed crystal for the lead-to-lead sulfate reaction.
-
The Leading-Term Test
- $a_nx^n$is called the leading term of $f(x)$, while $a_n \not = 0$ is known as the leading coefficient.
- The properties of the leading term and leading coefficient indicate whether f(x) increases or decreases continually as the $x$-values approach positive and negative infinity:
- In the leading term, $a_n$ equals $1/4$ and $n$ equals $3$.
- which has $-x^4/14$ as leading term and $-1/14$ as leading coefficient.
- Use the leading-term test to describe the end behavior of a polynomial graph
-
Conclusion
- So then, perhaps, "tomorrow" the debate could lead to a prevailing view that connectivism is the leading learning theory of the time.

Composing a Fourth-Species Counterpoint
- Exercises in strict voice-leading, or species counterpoint, begin with a single, well formed musical line called the cantus firmus (fixed voice, or fixed melody; pl. cantus firmi).
- Our first exercises in strict voice-leading will be to compose a good cantus firmus.
- in minor, the leading tone only appears in the penultimate bar; the raised submediant is only used when progressing to that leading tone
-
The Impact of Interpersonal Conflict on Team Performance
- Conflict can also lead to process improvements, such as when it reveals a deficiency in how the team communicates, which can then be corrected.
- Clashes of ideas can lead to more creative solutions or otherwise provide perspectives that persuade the team to take a different approach that is more likely to lead to success.
- While sometimes conflict can lead to a solution to a problem, conflicts can also create problems.
- Communication can suffer when people withdraw their attention or participation, leading to poor coordination of interdependent tasks.
- Tension and heightened emotions can lower team members' satisfaction, increase frustration, and lead to bad judgments.
-
Organ Toxicity
- The accumulation of antimicrobial drugs and their metabolic byproducts in organs can be toxic, leading to organ damage.
- The use, particularly when repeated, of many drugs can lead to an accumulation of a drug, or harmful byproducts from the metabolism of a drug, in tissues or organs.
- This accumulation of toxic chemicals can lead to organ damage, and in extreme cases, even organ failure and death.
- If they are compromised, this leads to further accumulation of potentially toxic metabolites further damaging organs in the body.
- The Tetracycline in a patient's skin becomes toxic when exposed to sunlight, which causes an allergic reaction and leads to rash on the affected area.
-
Introduction to Rondo Form
- The following are the most common lead-sheet chord symbols for triads, seventh chords, and standard alterations or embellishments of those chords, along with corresponding thoroughbass figures.
-
Arterioles
- An arteriole is a small diameter blood vessel in the microcirculation system that branches out from an artery and leads to capillaries.
- An arteriole is a small-diameter blood vessel which forms part of the micro-circulation that extends and branches out from an artery and leads to capillaries.
-
Metabolic Changes
- Protein and carbohydrate metabolism are affected during pregnancy and maternal insulin resistance can lead to gestational diabetes.
- Increased liver metabolism is also seen, with increased gluconeogenesis leading to increased maternal glucose levels.
- Maternal insulin resistance can lead to gestational diabetes.
- Babies born to mothers with untreated gestational diabetes are typically at increased risk of problems such as being large for gestational age (which may lead to delivery complications), low blood sugar, and jaundice.
