The need that we not give unqualified approval to any but a limited use of economic pressure directed against the actual doers of injustice is clear also in light of the fact that White Citizens' Councils seem resolved to maintain segregation mainly by the use of these same means and not ordinarily by physical violence.

Any information may be conveyed by an analog signal ; often such a signal is a measured response to changes in physical phenomena, such as sound, light, temperature, position, or pressure.

Instrumental methods use an apparatus to measure physical quantities of the analyte such as light absorption, fluorescence, or conductivity.

Brooks stopped teaching recently to " devote 100 % of his time on solving the problem as to why he needed to eat some type of food to keep his physical body alive and allow his light body to manifest completely.

Most psychologists and neuroscientists have not accepted these arguments — nevertheless it is clear that the relationship between a physical entity such as light and a perceptual quality such as color is extraordinarily complex and indirect, as demonstrated by a variety of optical illusions such as neon color spreading.

In its mathematical form it is analogous to the description of a physical wave, but its " crests " and " troughs " indicate levels of probability for the occurrence of certain phenomena ( e. g., a spark of light at a certain point on a detector screen ) that can be observed in the macro world of ordinary human experience.

It is possible to object to this interpretation of general relativity on the grounds that light rays might be improper physical models of Euclid's lines, or that relativity could be rephrased so as to avoid the geometrical interpretations.

However, one of the consequences of Einstein's theory is that there is no possible physical test that can distinguish between a beam of light as a model of a geometrical line and any other physical model.

In other situations, different signals such as electrical / physical shock, or in the case of laser detonation systems, light, are used to initiate an action, i. e., an explosion.

Hyperbolae in the physical world: three cones of light of different widths and intensities are generated by a ( roughly ) downwards-pointing halogen lamp and its holder.

The photometry units are different from most systems of physical units in that they take into account how the human eye responds to light.

Light exerts physical pressure on objects in its path, a phenomenon which can be deduced by Maxwell's equations, but can be more easily explained by the particle nature of light: photons strike and transfer their momentum.

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved physical robustness, smaller size, and faster switching.

Without referral to an aether, this physical interpretation of relativistic effects was shared by Kennedy and Thorndike in 1932 as they concluded that the interferometer's arm contracts and also the frequency of its light source " very nearly " varies in the way required by relativity.

Lorentz noticed that it was necessary to change the space-time variables when changing frames and introduced concepts like physical length contraction ( 1892 ) to explain the Michelson-Morley experiment, and the mathematical concept of local time ( 1895 ) to explain the aberration of light and the Fizeau experiment.

This equivalence is exemplified in a large number of physical processes including pair production, nuclear fusion, and the gravitational bending of light.

As the physical properties of this direct light have changed, interference with the diffracted light occurs, resulting in the phase contrast image.

* Nordic race, " a physical type characterized by tall stature, long head, light skin and hair, and light-colored eyes "

These include sensory neurons that transmute physical stimuli such as light and sound into neural signals, and motor neurons that transmute neural signals into activation of muscles or glands ; however in many species the great majority of neurons receive all of their input from other neurons and send their output to other neurons.

This work led to a theory of diffraction for light and opened an entire area of study in physical optics.

In geometrical, or ray optics, light is considered to travel in straight lines, and in physical, or wave optics, light is considered to be an electromagnetic wave.

* A third approach, which bases itself on interpretation " in the light of its object and purpose ", i. e. the interpretation that best suits the goal of the treaty, also called " effective interpretation ".

Reform authorities consider that, in light of what is seen as current scientific evidence about the nature of homosexuality as a biological sexual orientation, a new interpretation of the law is required.

But of those interpretations that fit, Dworkin maintains that the correct interpretation is the one that puts the political practices of the community in their best light, or makes of them the best that they can be.

It also saw the growth of Fundamentalist Christianity ( a movement of those who believed in the literal interpretation of the Bible as the fundamental source of the religion ) as distinguished from Modernist Christianity ( a movement holding the belief that Christianity needed to be re-interpreted in light of modern scientific theories such as evolution or the rise of degraded social conditions brought on by industrialization and urbanization ).

In light of these Bell tests, Cramer ( 1986 ) formulated his Transactional interpretation.

The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines research in more detail as " a studious inquiry or examination ; especially: investigation or experimentation aimed at the discovery and interpretation of facts, revision of accepted theories or laws in the light of new facts, or practical application of such new or revised theories or laws ".

The interpretation of the null result of the Michelson – Morley experiment is that the round-trip travel time for light is isotropic ( independent of direction ), but the result alone is not enough to discount the theory of the aether or validate the predictions of special relativity.

The Italian Renaissance brought about a stricter interpretation of Aristotle, as this long-lost work came to light in the late 15th century.

Reform authorities consider that, in light of what is seen as current scientific evidence about the nature of homosexuality as a biological sexual orientation, a new interpretation of the law is required.

That is like asking if colors are transcendent of human thought-colors are only varying wavelengths of light, it is our interpretation of physical stimuli that make them colors.

In modern times, the practice of statutory interpretation frequently refers to the actual intention of the draftsman as expressed in the words of the Act, but considered in the light of contemporary knowledge.

The representatives from Nigeria, France, USSR, Bulgaria, United Arab Republic ( Egypt ), Ethiopia, Jordan, Argentina and Mali supported this view, as worded by the representative from Mali: " wishes its vote today to be interpreted in the light of the clear and unequivocal interpretation which the representative of India gave of the provisions of the United Kingdom text.

In his 1950 autobiography, however, he simply declared that his work " scarcely permits of any other interpretation than that which Einstein had originally suggested, namely that of the semi-corpuscular or photon theory of light itself ".

The first physical interpretation of the fine-structure constant α was as the ratio of the velocity of the electron in the first circular orbit of the relativistic Bohr atom to the speed of light in the vacuum.

In the light of modern historical research and ecumenical discussions, the miaphysite and Chalcedonian positions appear to differ mainly in their usage of the key term " nature " ( Greek: φύσις, phýsis, as used in the original texts of the relevant Ecumenical Councils ) rather than in the underlying Christology, but other smaller differences of interpretation or emphasis may also exist.

In the episode, Caine appears as himself, portrayed in the light of his Alfred Pennyworth interpretation, and constantly annoys the protagonists with endless anecdotes of his career.

In her 2000 memoir My Life as a Ten-Year-Old Boy, Cartwright wrote: " with the brilliant wit of the writers and the wry, in-your-eye, honest-to-a-fault interpretation, Yeardley Smith has made Lisa a bright light of leadership, full of compassion and competence beyond her years.

Gymir has usually been interpreted as a sea-giant, but Magnus Olsen regarded him as an earth giant in connection with his interpretation of Skírnismál in light of the hieros gamos and he has also been seen as a chthonic deity.

His teachings included the interpretation of biblical prophecy in light of British Israelism, and required observance of parts of the covenant Law including seventh-day Sabbath, dietary prohibitions, and the covenant law " Holy Days ".
