[…] [Assistant Principal Frederick] Reed summoned Tiedeman and discussed with him the “dangers” of publishing material that might offend or hurt others. Specifically, he told Tiedeman that a similar publication several years before had culminated in the suspension of the students involved. 11.(music) The act of or discord produced by prolonging one or more tones of a chord into the chord which follows, thus producing a momentary discord, suspending the concord which the ear expects. 12.2007, Zoe Browder Doll, “Phantom Rhythms, Hidden Harmonies: The Use of the Sostenuto Pedal in Berio’s Sequenza IV for Piano, Leaf and Sonata”, in Janet K. Halfyard, editor, Berio's Sequenzas: Essays on Performance, Composition and Analysis, Aldershot, Hampshire; Burlington, Vt.: Ashgate Publishing, →ISBN, page 62: As in Sequenza IV, the suspension of the chord creates several different layers of activity, which can be understood by looking at the right hand’s chord in bar two. 13.(Scotland, law) A stay or postponement of the execution of a sentence, usually by letters of suspension granted on application to the Lord Ordinary. 14.(topology) A topological space derived from another by taking the product of the original space with an interval and collapsing each end of the product to a point. 15.2012, H. Rasmussen, “Strategy-proofness of Continuous Aggregation Maps”, in Geoffrey M. Heal, editor, Topological Social Choice: With 45 Figures (Social Choice and Welfare; vol. 14, no. 2, 1997), Berlin: Springer-Verlag, DOI:10.1007/978-3-642-60891-9, →ISBN, page 110: To get an intuitive feeling for the characteristics of H ′ {\displaystyle H'} -spaces, it is instructive to consider an important class of such spaces, the suspensions. The suspension of an arbitrary topological space Y {\displaystyle Y} is defined to be the quotient space of Y × I {\displaystyle Y\times I} where Y × 0 {\displaystyle Y\times 0} is identified to one point and Y × 1 {\displaystyle Y\times 1} is identified to another point. For example, the suspension of a circle is a cylinder with the two ends collapsed into one point each; in other words, a space homeomorphic to a sphere. 16.(topology) A function derived, in a standard way, from another, such that the instant function’s domain and codomain are suspensions of the original function’s. 17.2010, Paul Arne Østvær, “Preliminaries”, in Homotopy Theory of C*-Algebras (Frontiers in Mathematics), Basel: Birkhäuser, Springer Basel, DOI:10.1007/978-3-0346-0565-6, →ISBN, page 17: A model category is called pointed if the initial object and terminal object are the same. The homotopy category of any pointed model category acquires a suspension functor denoted by Σ {\displaystyle \Sigma } . It turns out that Ho ( M ) {\displaystyle {\text{Ho}}(M)} is a pre-triangulated category in a natural way […]. When the suspension is an equivalence, M {\displaystyle M} is called a stable model category, and in this case Ho ( M ) {\displaystyle {\text{Ho}}(M)} becomes a triangulated category […]. 18.(vehicles) The system of springs and shock absorbers connected to the wheels in an automobile, which allows the vehicle to move smoothly with reduced shock to its occupants. 19.2011, Chuck Edmondson, “Steering and Suspension”, in Fast Car Physics, Baltimore, Md.: The Johns Hopkins University Press, →ISBN, page 151: If you drive over a speed bump, the left and right tires push the suspension upward at the same time.
