Not exact matches

A photon's shape is based on the probability of detecting it at a particular place and time, depending on its amplitude and frequency.

Variations in wave frequencies and amplitudes can give rise to an infinite number of shapes, the French mathematician J. B. Fourier noted in 1807.

«The models result in large tsunami amplitudes northward and eastward of the fault due to the shape of the coastline and seafloor,» Ryan explained.

So the team calculated how more common bubble shape — an ellipsoid — could be built up from a series of component spheres, each of which gave them «a bunch of frequencies and a bunch of amplitudes», says Moss, allowing them to work out what the sound of the original bubble would be.

By comparing that figure with the waves» amplitude at the source, which the researchers can derive from the shape of the signal, and by knowing how the amplitude decreases with distance, which they get from Einstein's theory, they can then calculate the distance of the source to a much higher precision.

Nevertheless, the burst properties reported in this study strongly support the idea that the deeper layers of the SC act as an optimal controller: the systematic organization of peak firing rates and burst durations as function of saccade amplitude along the motor map, the synchronous change in firing rate of recruited cells in the population, and the shaping of the temporal burst profile of a given cell with the currently planned saccade, all contribute to the generation of straight eye - movement trajectories with optimal kinematics.

Note that for a given saccade amplitude the burst profiles along the rostral - to - caudal extent of the SC appear to have very similar shapes, which change systematically as function of saccade amplitude (and duration).

The deterministic factors are those that drive the action potential from the CNS and therefore affect the shape and size of the electromyogram, and consequently contribute to EMG amplitude.

The dialogue shaped by these works illustrates the amplitude of the creative process, with Givler's response to touch and tone, Kim's relishing in contact and memory, and Råberg's celebration of sight and sound.

The three shape parameters controlling the amplitudes of the 4th and 5th harmonics and their common phase shift also barely changed:

CO2 has seasonal and diurnal variability (natural) on top of its large amplitude shift, making it like a vibrating wildly swinging persistent growing stick in the hornet's nest, the biggest and suddenest stick we know of, and with an ugly shape unlike anything hornets have ever known before.

Is the amplitude of perturbation the determinant, or its duration, frequency, quality, type, shape, what?

There are good arguments on both sides about the shape of that shaft and the amplitude.

However, a «50 - year Gaussian filter» as was used by Briffa and Jones the 99 Science and RG articles is a clever bell - shaped filter that has a 50 - year characteristic period (in terms of its half - amplitude, I believe), yet uses well under 50 observations, and hence can get even closer to the end without endpadding issues arising.

They have a history of just 1 1/2 cycles (100 years) to base their projection on, and they have no mechanism, so they have no way of knowing how much variation there is from one cycle to the next in amplitude, duration or shape.

When a vector sum of the first two PCs from both methods is calculated, the plots of the resultant time series have essentially identical shapes, with a larger amplitude in the case of the «common centered» method.
