VVT i was now standard, resulting in an increase of torque.

The 2.2L diesel engine delivers high torque over a wide range of speeds.

Similarly, if torque is allowed to act through a rotational distance, it is doing work.

In other words, Ukraine is merely a breakaway region of historical Russia.

Patterson found that each cup produced maximum torque when it was at 45 degrees to the wind flow.

LONDON A year ago, tiny Georgia tried to regain control over its breakaway enclave of South Ossetia.

Look at the rogue breakaway regions in Moldova and Georgia that exist only because of the Kremlin s backing.

For its part, Moldova has been struggling for two decades to assert control over the breakaway Transnistria region.

It is dimensionally equivalent to a force of one newton acting over a distance of one metre, but it is not used for torque.

Russia could also react beyond the Balkans, most obviously in the Caucasus, with its breakaway regions, particularly in Georgia.

In Georgia, the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia have had de facto independence since receiving Russian recognition in 2008.

It uses Toyota s VVT i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) system which modulated the intake cam phase angle to increase torque and horsepower throughout the rev range.

A declaration of independence by Kosovo will likely bring a similar declaration from Georgia s breakaway Abkhazia region, which Russia could well recognize.

Russian recognition was widely seen as retaliation for Western recognition of Kosovo (population two million), the breakaway province of Serbia, earlier last year.

The heads of the 27 EU governments also characterized the Kremlin s decision to recognize the independence of the two breakaway regions as unacceptable.

Tirznisi (also spelled Tirdznisi) is a village on the border separating the former Soviet republic of Georgia from its breakaway territory of South Ossetia.

They use a camera from below a transparent table base to track the ball, and an electronic control system to control high torque motors to rotate and move the foosmen.

Here, there is a real danger that Russia may recognize breakaway regions in the South Caucasus, and back them more strongly than it does now.

The worry is that Russia will unilaterally recognize the breakaway Moldovan territory of Transdnistria, which Russian troops and criminal gangs have been propping up for 16 years.

Russia has set forth various reasons to justify its armed intervention in Georgia, where the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia are nonetheless under Georgian sovereignty.

It was not fought over the future status of Georgia s Russian backed breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia (though that source of conflict was a real one).

Even before Vladimir Putin became Russia s president, the Kremlin was making mischief in Georgia, issuing Russian passports to citizens of Abkhazia (the largest breakaway region) and pouring money into its economy.

This is one reason why Russia has become so aggressive with its neighbors, Ukraine and Georgia, and seeks to maintain a military presence in places like Transdniestria, the breakaway region of Moldova.

Renewed conflict in Abkhazia would not only bring the risk of open warfare with Russia, but strain relations with Armenia, as there are near to 50,000 Armenians in Abkhazia who support the breakaway government.

Authorities in the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine have engaged in reciprocal efforts, seeking to block content that is related to Ukrainian cultural identity or is supportive of Kyiv s war effort.

Recent events in Georgia remind us that resolving the region's frozen conflicts i.e., those in the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, of Transdneistria in Moldova, and Nagorno Karabakh in Azerbaijan must be a priority.

It is sad to me how Georgia continues to deceive itself in such absurd ways and the biggest share of the blame for that falls on Georgia s bull headed policies towards these breakaway republics since the fall of the Soviet Union.

But there is also concern about the previous occasional anti Russian statements of this new generation of leaders, and fear that President Saakashvili might launch a military campaign to bring the breakaway republics of Abkhazia and South Ossetia back under Tbilisi's rule.

This post is part of our special coverage Caucasus Conflict Voices. As Georgia marked the second anniversary of its August 2008 war with Russia over the breakaway territory of South Ossetia, online reaction has been mixed and largely polarized on geopolitical grounds.

And yet he controversially but rightly held out a hand of friendship to the breakaway region of Somaliland, before it became fashionable, and went as far as he could short of formal re recognition of that ray of democratic hope in the Horn of Africa.

Currently, the island is split down ethnic lines between an internationally recognized Greek Cypriot south and a breakaway Turkish Cypriot north, the result of Turkey's invasion in 1974 following a military coup in Cyprus that aimed for Greece to annex it and therefore unify the two.

The provision, adopted to satisfy countries worried about their own potential breakaway regions (Chechnya in Russia, and Tibet in China), violates the principle, engraved in common sense if not in international law, that genocide nullifies sovereignty that a state cannot seek to extinguish a people and yet insist on governing them.

Eighteen months ago, a war took place in Europe between Russia and Georgia. It was a little war, but one that raised big questions. It was not fought over the future status of Georgia s Russian backed breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia (though that source of conflict was a real one).

This post is part of our special coverage Caucasus Conflict Voices. With a little over a week to go before the second anniversary of the short war fought between Russia and Georgia over the breakaway territory of South Ossetia, Evolutsia turns its attention to another one of the country's two frozen conflicts, Abkhazia.

Some of them are smiling, a few are holding drinks, and one is even gesturing the peace sign. There are nine people in the photo, and the third one in from the right the reason everyone is posing together is Alexander Borodai, the former prime minister of the breakaway People s Republic of Donetsk.

At an emergency meeting on September 1, EU leaders refused to continue the PCA talks until Russia removed its combat units from the Georgian separatist regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. The heads of the 27 EU governments also characterized the Kremlin s decision to recognize the independence of the two breakaway regions as unacceptable.
