; Intermodulation distortion ( IMD ): Distortion that is not harmonically related to the signal being amplified is intermodulation distortion.

In accounting for realism or distortion two sets of factors can be usefully distinguished: current intelligence ; ;

the art of preprinting in distortion was similarly perfected by the sign makers ; ;

This aberration is quite distinct from that of the sharpness of reproduction ; in unsharp, reproduction, the question of distortion arises if only parts of the object can be recognized in the figure.

Ideally an amplifier increases the power of a signal without otherwise altering it ; practical amplifiers have finite distortion and noise which they invariably add to the signal.

When the signal drive to the amplifier is increased, the output also increases until a point is reached where some part of the amplifier becomes saturated and cannot produce any more output ; this is called clipping, and results in distortion.

The most observed geometries are listed below, but there are many cases that deviate from a regular geometry, e. g. due to the use of ligands of different types ( which results in irregular bond lengths ; the coordination atoms do not follow a points-on-a-sphere pattern ), due to the size of ligands, or due to electronic effects ( see, e. g., Jahn-Teller distortion ):

The theology of Christian Science includes a form of idealism: it teaches that all that truly exists is God and God's ideas ; that the world as it appears to the senses is a distortion of the underlying spiritual reality, a distortion that may be corrected ( both conceptually and in terms of human experience ) through a reorientation ( spiritualization ) of thought.

One can identify three types of distortions that could occur in an oriented sample: ( 1 ) twists of the material, where neighboring molecules are forced to be angled with respect to one another, rather than aligned ; ( 2 ) splay of the material, where bending occurs perpendicular to the director ; and ( 3 ) bend of the material, where the distortion is parallel to the director and molecular axis.

As such, their distortion ( editorial bias ) of news reportage — i. e. what types of news, which items, and how they are reported — is a consequence of the profit motive that requires establishing a stable, profitable business ; therefore, news businesses favoring profit over the public interest succeed, while those favoring reportorial accuracy over profits fail, and are relegated to the margins of their markets ( low sales and ratings ).

However, the use of distortion was predated by Guitar Slim, Willie Johnson of Howlin ' Wolf, and Pat Hare ; the latter two also made use of distorted power chords in the early 1950s.

The state, along with the concept of property and taxation are concepts exclusive to commercial society ; placing them within the context of a future socialist society amounts to distortion of these concepts.

Daniel Burston, however, has argued that overall the published works of Szasz and Laing demonstrate far more points of convergence and intellectual kinship than Szasz admits, despite the divergence on a number of issues related to Szasz being a libertarian and Laing an existentialist ; that Szasz employs a good deal of exaggeration and distortion in his criticism of Laing's personal character, and unfairly uses Laing's personal failings and family woes to discredit his work and ideas ; and that Szasz's " clear-cut, crystalline ethical principles are designed to spare us the agonizing and often inconclusive reflections that many clinicians face frequently in the course of their work ".

' Khlyst ', the name commonly applied to them, is a distortion of the name they used ; the original name was the invented word Христововеры ( Khristovovery, " Christ-believers ") or Христы ( Khristy ); their critics corrupted the name, mixing it with the word хлыст ( khlyst ), meaning " a whip ".

But first, we must define two terms so that their meaning will be clearly understood: form -- any unique sequence of alphabetic characters that can appear in a language preceded and followed by a space ; ;

A location in the computer store is also named for each marked form ; ;

The address Af and the number of cells required to store the form are written in Af ; ;

Again the problem is how to get it done and in what form to offer the group relations education ; ;

But by the tracing procedure, he could, in a strange obviously kinesthetic manner, find the unseen form ; ;

The language is the conventional language of the form ; ;

In general, friendly contact with a member followed by contact with a clergyman will account for a major share of recruitment by the churches, making it quite evident that the extension of economic integration through co-optation is the principal form of mission in the contemporary church ; ;

The form of Christianity to which they were exposed was for some the Protestantism of the older stock, for others the Protestantism of the nineteenth-century immigration ; ;

And this occurs now, at the refrain of Jacoby's song -- at the point, in fact, of the name `` Lizzy '' -- ; ;

This idea, which occurs in both Tatian and Cyprian, fits especially well into the scheme of Irenaeus' theology ; ;

; Lack-of-fit error: Error that occurs when the analysis omits one or more important terms or factors from the process model.

; Random error: Error that occurs due to natural variation in the process.

This word is usually conceded to be derived from the Hebrew ( Aramaic ), meaning " Thou art our father " ( אב לן את ), and also occurs in connection with Abrasax ; the following inscription is found upon a metal plate in the Carlsruhe Museum:

This case is also used for nouns in several other senses, e. g., where the action occurs " because of " or " without " a certain noun ; nouns indicating distance or direction.

Toxicity occurs at about ten times normal dosages ; these drugs are often lethal in overdoses, as they may cause a fatal arrhythmia.

Nicotine is believed to act as an antidepressant, by it stimulating the release of dopamine and norepinephrine ; additionally, nicotine is believed to exert an antidepressant effect due to the desensitisation of nicotinic receptors which occurs as a result of tolerance.

According to the Brown Driver Briggs lexicon, the Hebrew abaddon ( Hebrew: אבדון ; avadon ) is an intensive form of the Semitic root and verb stem abad ( א ָ ב ַ ד ) " perish " ( transitive " destroy "), which occurs 184 times in the Hebrew Bible.

This assumption is justified if a poor image on the focusing screen remains stationary when the aperture is diminished ; in practice, this generally occurs.

A kindling effect also occurs in alcoholics whereby each subsequent withdrawal syndrome is more severe than the previous withdrawal episode ; this is due to neuroadaptations which occur as a result of periods of abstinence followed by re-exposure to alcohol.

Communication occurs both ways ; power management events are sent from the BIOS to the APM driver, and the APM driver sends information and requests to the BIOS via function calls.

Another risk occurs if the items being bought and sold are not identical and the arbitrage is conducted under the assumption that the prices of the items are correlated or predictable ; this is more narrowly referred to as a convergence trade.

In most amplifiers a reduction in gain takes place before hard clipping occurs ; the result is a compression effect, which ( if the amplifier is an audio amplifier ) sounds much less unpleasant to the ear.

Intramembranous ossification mainly occurs during formation of the flat bones of the skull but also the mandible, maxilla, and clavicles ; the bone is formed from connective tissue such as mesenchyme tissue rather than from cartilage.

Endochondral ossification, on the other hand, occurs in long bones and most of the rest of the bones in the body ; it involves an initial hyaline cartilage that continues to grow.
