The Deborah number is a dimensionless number, used in rheology to characterize how "fluid" a material is. Even some apparent solids "flow" if they are observed long enough; the origin of the name is the line "The mountains flowed before the Lord" in a song by prophetess Deborah recorded in the Bible. In dimensional analysis, a dimensionless number (or more precisely, a number with the dimensions of 1) is a pure number without any physical units; it does not change if one alters ones system of units of measurement, for example from English units to metric units. ... Rheology is the study of the deformation and flow of matter. ... Deborah or Dvora (דְּבוֹרָה Bee, Standard Hebrew Dəvora, Tiberian Hebrew Dəḇôrāh) was the fourth judge and only female judge of pre-monarchy Israel in the Old Testament / Tanakh. ... The holy jewish scripture: The Torah. ...
Formally, the Deborah number is defined as the ratio of a relaxation time, characterizing the intrinsic fluidity of a material, and the characteristic time scale of an experiment (or a computer simulation) probing the response of the material. The smaller the Deborah number, the more fluid the material appears. The word relaxation can mean the following: The opposite of stress or tension; the aim of recreation and leisure activities. ...
Deborah currently follows between 2,500 and 2,800 adults with congenital heart disease, and the number is growing.
Calderon joined Deborah from the Cleveland Clinic in 1998 and is one of fewer than 50 cardiologists in the country with formal training in both adult and congenital cardiology.
Deborah's team of medical professionals include experts in both pediatric and adult cardiology, congenital echocardiography, diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization, adult and pediatric cardiac surgery, pulmonology, anesthesiology, social work and a specially trained nursing staff.
A number of movements from previously composed works were interleaved into it, creating a certain confusion of continuity and scale, and thereby rather substantially disfiguring what had originally been a more balanced work.
In the Bible the assumption is that Deborah herself will be that woman, but Humphreys ignores that assumption (thereby weakening the third act denouement) and has Deborah name Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for that honor at Jael's first appearance in the oratorio.
Deborah may lack the dramatic thrust and complexity of some of the later oratorios, but it is musically coherent, even with its many borrowings, and virtually all the music for soloists and chorus is first rate.
