As a further refinement, each frame can designate one index as a " transparent background color ": any pixel assigned this index takes on the color of the pixel in the same position from the background, which may have been determined by a previous frame of animation.

Vertebral height measurements can objectively be made using plain-film x-rays by using several methods such as height loss together with area reduction, particularly when looking at vertical deformity in T4-L4, or by determining a spinal fracture index that takes into account the number of vertebrae involved.

# In an optical fiber, the loss that takes place at any discontinuity of refractive index, especially at an air-glass interface such as a fiber endface, at which a fraction of the optical signal is reflected back toward the source.

Properties of a program that can be reasoned about at compile time include range-checks ( e. g., proving that an array index will not exceed the array bound ), deadlock freedom in concurrent languages, or timings ( e. g., proving that a sequence of code takes no more than an allocated amount of time ).

GLIMPSE uses and takes a great deal of inspiration from Agrep, which was also developed at the University of Arizona, but GLIMPSE uses a high level index whereas Agrep parses all the text each time.

It is known ( for compact, orientable S ) that this is isomorphic with the automorphism group of the fundamental group of S. This is consistent with the genus 1 case, stated above, if one takes into account that then the fundamental group is Z < sup > 2 </ sup >, on which the modular group acts as automorphisms ( as a subgroup of index 2 in all automorphisms, since the orientation may also be reverse, by a transformation with determinant − 1 ).

where n is the index of refraction within the cavity, c is the speed of light in vacuum, l is the cavity length, R is the mirror reflectivity, and X takes into account other miscellaneous optical losses.

The drawback of a btree is that data must be constantly balanced when it is inserted into the tree, therefore Btrieve only stores the record index as btree to reduce the amount of time it takes to insert and update records.

A player takes his turn by flicking one of his pieces with the index finger.

It takes a file in Unix mbox format and generates an HTML archive, complete with an index and various sorting options.

An array is stored so that the position of each element can be computed from its index tuple by a mathematical formula.

Accessing its elements involves a single subscript which can either represent a row or column index.

If each node additionally records the size of its subtree ( including itself and its descendants ), then the nodes can be retrieved by index in O ( log n ) time as well.

An Abbe diagram is produced by plotting the Abbe number V < sub > d </ sub > of a material versus its refractive index n < sub > d </ sub >.

If the keys match, then a matching element has been found so its index, or position, is returned.

In this compact arrangement, if a node has an index i, its children are found at indices ( for the left child ) and ( for the right ), while its parent ( if any ) is found at index ' ( assuming the root has index zero ).

It uses indices such as a humidity index and an aridity index to determine an area's moisture regime based upon its average temperature, average rainfall, and average vegetation type.

Solving the hydrostatic equation then leads to a model white dwarf which is a polytrope of index 3 / 2 and therefore has radius inversely proportional to the cube root of its mass, and volume inversely proportional to its mass.

For example, a 1978 environmental law treatise reprinted the entire text of Rule 23 and mentioned " class actions " 14 times in its index.

Each point is labelled with its Miller index.

Digitalis is an example of a drug derived from a plant that was formerly used by folklorists and herbalists ; herbalists have largely abandoned its use because of its narrow therapeutic index and the difficulty of determining the amount of active drug in herbal preparations.

The dot-com bubble burst, numerically, on Friday, March 10, 2000, when the technology heavy NASDAQ Composite index, peaked at 5, 048. 62 ( intra-day peak 5, 132. 52 ), more than double its value just a year before.

The term has several interpretations, and there are many ways to index, measure, characterize, and represent its complex organization.

During the assignment pass, each instruction is examined for reference to the symbolic name of an index word or electronic switch.

Extreme caution should be used, however, to avoid the conflicting usage of an index word or electronic switch which may result from the assignment of more than one name or function to the same address.

If the symbolic name or actual address of an index word or electronic switch appears or is included in the operand of an XRELEASE or SRELEASE statement ( see page 101 ), the specified index word or electronic switch will again be made available, regardless of the method by which it was reserved.

DIOCS is used to select the major methods of processing to be used, and to name the index words used by Aj.

This item may be a symbolic name or an actual one-digit or two-digit index word address in the range 3 - 94.

When an actual index word or a symbolic address is specified, Autocoder will equate the name IOCSIXF to it.

This item may be a symbolic name or an actual one-digit or two-digit index word address in the range 3 - 94.

There are three indexes, i.e., an inorganic formula index, a mineralogical name index, and a name index to organic compounds.

A hierarchical name could make use of either the names or the sequential index of the traversed elements.
