This is overcome by adjusting the pulse-width modulation in the electronic ballast instead ; and most fluorescent torchieres use this method.

His specialty included reanalyzing Hubble and Sandage's galaxy atlas and recomputing the distance measurements utilizing a method of averaging many different kinds of metrics such as luminosity, the diameters of ring galaxies, brightest star clusters, etc., in a method he called " spreading the risks.

Johann Bayer originated a method of systematically naming stars, now called the Bayer designation, in his star atlas Uranometria.

* Orthospinology Procedure-is a method of analyzing and correcting the chiropractic upper cervical subluxation complex based on vertebral alignment measurements on neck x-rays taken from three different directions.

The treatment seems unnecessarily loose-jointed and complex, largely because the method is lax and the analysis seems never to be pushed to a satisfactory or even a consistent stopping-point.

The method, called deep brain stimulation ( DBS ) successfully roused communication, complex movement and eating ability in the 38-year-old American man who suffered a traumatic brain injury.

This version of rasterization has overtaken the old method as it allows the graphics to flow without complicated textures ( a rasterized image when used face by face tends to have a very block-like effect if not covered in complex textures ; the faces are not smooth because there is no gradual color change from one primitive to the next ).

One might well ask why we should use such a complex method for producing low temperature gases when they could be produced much more easily using liquid helium.

Some consider it an advantage of the Kimball method, that the data warehouse ends up being " segmented " into a number of logically self-contained ( up to and including The Bus ) and consistent data marts, rather than a big and often complex centralized model.

He described the Cold War: " We face a hostile ideology global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose and insidious in method ..." and warned about what he saw as unjustified government spending proposals and continued with a warning that " we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military – industrial complex.

Though a large body of research exists for this method it is more complex, less intuitive, and not more effective than the ERM method.

* Dynamic programming, a method of solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler steps

:“ While I am convinced of the critical importance of historiography in the study of esotericism ( and for this reason all of my academic books are firmly grounded in historical method ) I do not believe that historiography is adequate in itself to convey the complex, multivalent nature of esoteric thought, traditions, or most of all, experience.

The conversational method becomes necessary when the developer knows he cannot ask the user for all the necessary data at the start, the problem being too complex.

Shortly after Ebbinghaus left Berlin in 1893, Dilthey published a paper extolling the virtues of descriptive psychology, and condemning experimental psychology as boring, claiming that the mind was too complex, and that introspection was the desired method of studying the mind.

The method developed by Mullis, however, combined the use of a heat-stable polymerase and thermal cycling, which allowed the rapid and exponential amplification of large quantities of any desired DNA sequence from an extremely complex template.

The method can also be extended to complex functions and to systems of equations.

Punctuated equilibrium in social theory is a method of understanding change in complex social systems, particularly how policy change and the development of conflicts seem to progress in extended periods of stasis, punctuated by sudden shifts in radical change.

An even more recent addition to the rn family has been the addition of scoring, which allows a more complex method of evaluating articles to determine whether the user wishes to read them ; originally this was implemented in a code fork of trn called strn, but later this was integrated into the official trn distribution.

In Weaver's method, the band of interest is first translated to be centered at zero, conceptually by modulating a complex exponential with frequency in the middle of the voiceband, but implemented by a quadrature pair of sine and cosine modulators at that frequency ( e. g. 2 kHz ).

Depth-Kymography is an imaging method to visualize the complex horizontal and vertical movements of vocal folds.

As Durkheim indicated in several essays, it was in Leipzig that he learned to appreciate the value of empiricism and its language of concrete, complex things, in sharp contrast to the more abstract, clear and simple ideas of the Cartesian method.

Although Barricelli, in work he reported in 1963, had simulated the evolution of ability to play a simple game, artificial evolution became a widely recognized optimization method as a result of the work of Ingo Rechenberg and Hans-Paul Schwefel in the 1960s and early 1970s – Rechenberg's group was able to solve complex engineering problems through evolution strategies.
