However, ISDN is typically more reliable than POTS, and has a significantly faster call setup time compared with POTS, and IP connections over ISDN typically have some 30 – 35ms round trip time, as opposed to 120 – 180ms ( both measured with otherwise unused lines ) over 56k or V. 34 / V. 92 modems, making ISDN more reliable and more efficient for telecommuters.

The windows of the photomultipliers act as wavelength filters ; this may be irrelevant if the cutoff wavelengths are outside of the application range or outside of the photocathode sensitivity range, but special care has to be taken for uncommon wavelengths.

Since Ag-O-Cs has a higher dark current than more modern materials photomultiplier tubes with this photocathode material are nowadays used only in the infrared region with cooling.

The multialkali photocathode has a wide spectral response from the ultraviolet to near infrared region.

The image dissector has no " charge storage " characteristic ; the vast majority of electrons emitted by the photocathode are excluded by the scanning aperture, and thus wasted rather than being stored on a photo-sensitive target, as in the iconoscope or image orthicon ( see below ), which largely accounts for its low light sensitivity.

The S20 photocathode has a sensitivity or around 150 to 200 µA / lm.

It has a typical sensitivity of around 230 µA / lm and a higher quantum efficiency than S20 photocathode material.

As with other wavelet transforms, a key advantage it has over Fourier transforms is temporal resolution: it captures both frequency and location information ( location in time ).

A normalization of for both the DFT and IDFT makes the transforms unitary, which has some theoretical advantages.

These are objects that can be evacuated or used for a kind of thinking that depends on manipulation of what are felt to be things in themselves as if to substitute such manipulations for words or ideas ... Alpha-function transforms sense impressions into alpha-elements which resemble, and may in fact be identical with, the visual images with which we are familiar in dreams, namely, the elements that Freud regards as yielding their latent content when the analyst has interpreted them.

One then restricts the maps to only those maps that commute with these isomorphism ( restricts to the naturalizer of η ), in other words, restrict to the maps that do not change the bilinear form: The resulting category, with objects finite-dimensional vector spaces with a nondegenerate bilinear form, and maps linear transforms that respect the bilinear form, by construction has a natural isomorphism from the identity to the dual ( each space has an isomorphism to its dual, and the maps in the category are required to commute ).

As a lapped transform, the MDCT is a bit unusual compared to other Fourier-related transforms in that it has half as many outputs as inputs ( instead of the same number ).

The latter algorithm can use any factors ( not necessarily relatively prime ), but it has the disadvantage that it also requires extra multiplications by roots of unity called twiddle factors, in addition to the smaller transforms.

Hypercorrection occurs when a speaker attempting to sound formal transforms a monophthong into a diphthong when it has always been a monophthong, even in written language.

As soon as a Chao transforms, if it has become a Light or Dark Chao, it will unlock for the player the Hero Garden or the Dark Garden, which are vertically positioned in Chao World similar to common Western descriptions of Heaven and Hell.

A more familiar geometric way to understand the projective transforms is via projective rotations ( the elements of PSO ( n + 1 )), which corresponds to the stereographic projection of rotations of the unit hypersphere, and has dimension Visually, this corresponds to standing at the origin ( or placing a camera at the origin ), and turning one's angle of view, then projecting onto a flat plane.

There have also been comics where he has eaten a variant on normal bananas, and transforms differently, reflecting the difference in that banana.
