Finally, in this study we used a very simple definition of resource differential: possession of a single positive characteristic that has been shown to be beneficial and hence should be desired by others. Although more complex definitions abound, we feel that this nonetheless captures the essential...
The centimeter was defined as one-hundredth of a meter; the kilometer was defined as 1000 meters. The metric system was passed by law in France on August 1, 1793. In 1960, the definition of the meter changed to 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of of the orange-red radiation of krypton 86. In...
Participants classified as non-amblyopic strabismus with equal acuity showed unimpaired acuity (by definition), contrast sensitivity and interocular balance, but did show reduced stereopsis. The relationship between model parameters and assessment of visual function Using linear regression, with either Group...
A selection of two bandwidths, 5 nm and 12 nm, is made by controlling the slits. Measurement optics The measurement optics module (Figure 2 – 9) is the front surface mirror optics system to generate a wavelength-independent, high-definition beam for fluorescence measurement and for ...
By way of experience, too, you may have learned that you have to study to do well on a test, that there usually is an opening act at a rock concert, and that there is a tech- nique to playing a guitar chord. Putting these pieces together, we arrive at a definition of learning: ...

Notice that the value of [Math Processing Error]Γln is spatially independent due to homogeneity of the system. The explicit definition of the pairing amplitudes [Math Processing Error]Δi,j,l,n\unicodex03C3\unicodex03C3¯ is given by [Math Processing Error]Δi,j,l,n\unicodex03C3\unicode...
lever The term 'lever' as it applies to the area of basic science can be defined as 'simple machine consisting of a rigid bar pivoted on a fixed point and used to transmit force, as in raising or moving a weight at one end by pushing down on the other'....
The term 'Levee' as it applies to the area of coastlines can be defined as ' (1) an embankment to prevent inundation. (2) (smp) a large dike or embankment, often having an access road along the top, which is designed as part of a system to protect land from floods'. The term '...
For the following defined terms, these definitions shall be applied, unless a different definition is given in the claims or elsewhere in this specification. All numeric values are herein assumed to be modified by the term “about”, whether or not explicitly indicated. The term “about” genera...
