The effect on cosmology of the dark energy that these models describe is given by the dark energy's equation of state, which varies depending upon the theory.

Bellamy's vision of a country relieved of its social ills through abandonment of the principle of competition and establishment of state ownership of industry proved an appealing panacea to a generation of intellectuals alienated from the dark side of Gilded Age America.

Because of this, these devices are usually operated between crossed polarizers such that they appear bright with no voltage ( the eye is much more sensitive to variations in the dark state than the bright state ).

The voltage-off dark state in this configuration appears blotchy, however, because of small variations of thickness across the device.

Kim Jong Il was already conducting most of the day-to-day running of the state, and apparently kept his aging father in the dark about the growing economic disaster throughout the country.

Most particle physicists state that the outcome of the ongoing experiments – the search for new particles at the large particle accelerators and for dark matter – are needed in order to provide theoretical physicists with further input for a ToE.

The initial state of the universe is chaos, a dark indefinite void considered as a divine primordial condition from which everything else appeared.

Despite this support, at the state convention he was a dark horse candidate.

* The other half-circle ( usually dark ) shows people in a miserable state being led downwards to lower states, possibly to the lower realms.

Another ratio that is used by scientists is the equation of state, usually denoted w, which is the ratio of pressure that dark energy puts on the Universe to the energy per unit volume.

As the Universe expands, the density of radiation and ordinary and dark matter declines more quickly than the density of dark energy ( see equation of state ) and, eventually, dark energy dominates.

In 2004, when scientists fit the evolution of dark energy with the cosmological data, they found that the equation of state had possibly crossed the cosmological constant boundary ( w =- 1 ) from above to below.

Both major parties ultimately turned to dark horse candidates from the electoral-vote-rich state of Ohio.

A more certain prehistoric period has been theorized by historians as that of the state of Lhomon ( literally, southern darkness ) or Monyul ( dark land, a reference to the Monpa aboriginal peoples of Bhutan ), possibly a part of Tibet that was then beyond the pale of Buddhist teachings.

In 912, Halley's comet is recorded in the Annals of Ulster, which state " A dark and rainy year.

The blood plasma alone is straw-colored, but the red blood cells change color depending on the state of the hemoglobin: when combined with oxygen the resulting oxyhemoglobin is scarlet, and when oxygen has been released the resulting deoxyhemoglobin is of a dark red burgundy color, appearing bluish through the vessel wall and skin.

The flag of the state of Alaska consists of eight gold stars, forming the Big Dipper and the North Star, on a dark blue field.

It was a dark and intensely personal album, reflecting the mental state of the band at the time.

, most cosmologists favor the cold dark matter theory as a description of how the Universe went from a smooth initial state at early times ( as shown by the cosmic microwave background radiation ) to the lumpy distribution of galaxies and their clusters we see today — the large-scale structure of the Universe.

Official reports state that the fire started at about 10: 15 p. m. in the dark, intimate Melody Lounge downstairs.

Long observation has taught Mason that most landscape can be reduced to three essential planes: a foreground in sharp focus -- either a light area with dark accents or a dark one with lights ; ;

You can't wander along in the dark, can you??

For all involved in this discussion the devil is a real entity who can really be confronted in the woods on a dark night, the demon world is populated with real creatures, and witches actually can be seen flying through the air.

A dark bathroom can be pretty scary, and he'd creep back to bed, proud of himself, thinking: Tomorrow, for sure, I'll go down to the rock and keep my promise to Dad.

Because individuals with albinism have skin that entirely lacks the dark pigment melanin, which helps protect the skin from the sun's ultraviolet radiation, their skin can burn more easily from overexposure.

Another likely explanation for the loss of its eyes is that of selective neutrality and genetic drift: in the dark environment of the cave, the eyes are neither advantageous nor disadvantageous and thus any genetic factors that might impair the eyes ( or their development ) can take hold with no consequence on the individual or species.

There is a third view that sees merit in both arguments above and attempts to bridge them, and so cannot be articulated as starkly as they can ; it sees more than one Christianity and more than one attitude towards paganism at work in the poem, separated from each other by hundreds of years ; it sees the poem as originally the product of a literate Christian author with one foot in the pagan world and one in the Christian, himself a convert perhaps or one whose forbears had been pagan, a poet who was conversant in both oral and literary milieus and was capable of a masterful " repurposing " of poetry from the oral tradition ; this early Christian poet saw virtue manifest in a willingness to sacrifice oneself in a devotion to justice and in an attempt to aid and protect those in need of help and greater safety ; good pagan men had trodden that noble path and so this poet presents pagan culture with equanimity and respect ; yet overlaid upon this early Christian poet's composition are verses from a much later reformist " fire-and-brimstone " Christian poet who vilifies pagan practice as dark and sinful and who adds satanic aspects to its monsters.

Within 4 – 5 days the inflammation and the concomitant dead brain tissue are surrounded with a capsule, which gives the lesion the famous ring-enhancing lesion appearance on CT examination with contrast ( since intravenously applied contrast material can not pass through the capsule, it is collected around the lesion and looks as a ring surrounding the relatively dark lesion ).

Originally a dark beer, a modern bock can range from light copper to brown in colour.

Specifically, it can be used to test the equivalence principle, to probe dark matter, and test neutrino physics.

It is also true that the content of certain films ( such as dark subjects, alienation, transgressive content, or other controversial subject matter ) can also decide whether or not a film is a " cult film ", regardless of the film's budget or studio affiliations.

It can even be seen with the naked eye under particularly dark skies.

When exposed to sunlight, artificial light, or infrared radiation ( even the heat of a hand nearby can be enough ), the vanes turn with no apparent motive power, the dark sides retreating from the radiation source and the light sides advancing.

Some people who purchase chocolate off the store shelf can be disappointed when they see whitish spots on the dark chocolate part.

A similar effect can be achieved by drawing different tones close together ; a light edge next to a dark background will stand out to the eye, and almost appear to float above the surface.

Rubin's observations and calculations showed that most galaxies must contain about ten times as much “ dark ” mass as can be accounted for by the visible stars.

Intercity roads are generally in good condition, but unmarked surfaces, stray animals, and disabled vehicles without lights or reflectors are among the many hazards that can be encountered on highways, especially after dark.

Development chemicals applied to an appropriate film can produce either a positive ( showing the same densities and colors as the subject ) or negative image ( with dark highlights, light shadows, and, in principle, complementary colors ).

This is because the dark matter can only interact gravitationally, and thus will not dissipate.

It has also been suggested that the dark matter halo can pull the galaxy, thus stopping disk contraction.

Grapes are a type of fruit that grow in clusters of 15 to 300, and can be crimson, black, dark blue, yellow, green, orange, and pink.

Observations of the Bullet Cluster are the strongest evidence for the existence of dark matter ; however, Brownstein and Moffat have shown that their modified gravity theory can also account for the properties of the cluster.

The observed distortions can be used to model the distribution of dark matter in the cluster.
