* Embedding, materials – after embedding in resin, the specimen is usually ground and polished to a mirror-like finish using ultra-fine abrasives.

If the water is calm, its surface appears mirror-like.

The orientation of a particular set of sheets is identified by its three Miller indices ( h, k, l ), and let their spacing be noted by d. William Lawrence Bragg proposed a model in which the incoming X-rays are scattered specularly ( mirror-like ) from each plane ; from that assumption, X-rays scattered from adjacent planes will combine constructively ( constructive interference ) when the angle θ between the plane and the X-ray results in a path-length difference that is an integer multiple n of the X-ray wavelength λ.

:: is a shininess constant for this material, which is larger for surfaces that are smoother and more mirror-like.

When is large, in the case of a nearly mirror-like reflection, the specular highlight will be small, because any viewpoint not aligned with the reflection will have a cosine less than one which rapidly approaches zero when raised to a high power.

* Metallized boPET is used as a mirror-like decorative surface on some book covers, T-shirts, and other flexible cloths.

The wood-grain appearance is from the folding techniques used during forging. Although both the pearlite and martensite can be polished to a mirror-like shine, they are often given a matte finish instead, to make the differences in the hardness stand out.

The knowledge that ensues from recognizing this mirror-like clarity ( which cannot be found by searching nor identified ) is what Dzogchenpas refer to as rigpa.

If it is viewed while a brightly lit sheet of white paper is held so as to be seen reflected in its mirror-like metal surface, the Daguerreotype image will appear as a relatively faint negative — its dark and light areas reversed — instead of a normal positive.

Rigpa is the knowledge that ensues from recognizing this mirror-like clarity, which cannot be found by searching nor identified.

In addition to the mirror-like finish, patent leather is also virtually waterproof, while still retaining a very flexible texture.

Reflection of light is either specular ( mirror-like ) or diffuse ( retaining the energy, but losing the image ) depending on the nature of the interface.

It is frequently used in real-time computer graphics where the mirror-like specular reflection of light from other surfaces is often ignored ( due to the more intensive computations required to calculate this ), and the specular reflection of light direct from point light sources is modelled as specular highlights.

Specular reflection is the mirror-like reflection of light ( or of other kinds of wave ) from a surface, in which light from a single incoming direction ( a ray ) is reflected into a single outgoing direction.

In one method, the metal is adhered using a gelatin adhesive, which results in a mirror-like, reflective finish in which designs are then engraved.

This achieves the mirror-like, high-gloss finish sometimes known as a spit shine or bull which is especially valued in military organizations.

To be seen optimally, the image had to be lit at a certain angle and viewed so that the smooth parts of its mirror-like surface, which represented the darkest parts of the image, reflected something dark or dimly lit.

Recent advances in electrochromic materials pertaining to transition-metal hydride electrochromics have led to the development of reflective hydrides, which become reflective rather than absorbing, and thus switch states between transparent and mirror-like.

The plant used mirror-like heliostats to aim sunlight at a collecting sphere located on a solar power tower ( a type of solar furnace ), through which oil flowed.

The Venusians played music for the audience, said Ballard, then showed the crowd a large mirror-like device that displayed images of life on Venus.

When the arsenic vapor impinges on a cold surface, a mirror-like deposit of arsenic forms.

The very best pearls have a metallic mirror-like luster.

Inverted repeat palindromes are more common and have greater biological importance than mirror-like palindromes.

Embedding in a resin with further polishing to a mirror-like finish can be used for both biological and materials specimens when imaging in backscattered electrons or when doing quantitative X-ray microanalysis.

Variants that have arisen with domestication include the mirror carp, with large, mirror-like scales ( linear mirror – scaleless except for a row of large scales that run along the lateral line ; originating in Germany ), the leather carp ( virtually unscaled except near dorsal fin ), and the fully scaled carp.

A scratch made at the edge of the wafer and a slight bending force causes a nearly atomically perfect mirror-like cleavage plane to form and propagate in a straight line across the wafer.

After the construction, modifications were made to the Founders Room exterior ; while most of the building's exterior was designed with stainless steel given a matte finish, the Founders Room and Children's Amphitheater were designed with highly polished mirror-like panels.

Like their counterparts in the second angelic triad, they come the closest of all Angels to spiritual perfection and emanate the light of God with mirror-like goodness.

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of units that may be read the same way in either direction, with general allowances for adjustments to punctuation and word dividers.

A palindrome with the same property is the Hebrew palindrome, " We explained the glutton who is in the honey was burned and incinerated ", (< span class =" script-hebrew " style =" font-size: 145 %; font-family :' SBL Hebrew ', David, Narkisim, ' Times New Roman ', ' Ezra SIL SR ', FrankRuehl, ' Microsoft Sans Serif ', ' Lucida Grande '" dir =" rtl "> פרשנו רעבתן שבדבש נתבער ונשרף </ span >; PRShNW R ` BTN ShBDBSh NTB ` R WNShRP or parasnu ra ` abhtan shebad ' vash nitba ' er venisraf ), by Abraham ibn Ezra, referring to the halachic question as to whether a fly landing in honey makes the honey treif ( non-kosher ).

Another Latin palindrome, " In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni " (" We go wandering at night and are consumed by fire ", in which " In girum ire " is translated as " go wandering " instead of the literal " go in a circle ", cf.

It is likely that this palindrome is from medieval rather than ancient times.

The inverted repeat palindrome is also a sequence that reads the same forward and backwards, but the forward and backward sequences are found in complementary DNA strands ( i. e., of double-stranded DNA ), as in GTATAC ( GTATAC being complementary to CATATG ).

Less well-known is a piano piece known as " Vice Versa ", a musical palindrome which was not only a front-to-back palindrome, but also exploited the two staves used for writing for piano.

When no nucleotides intervene between the sequence and its downstream complement, it is called a palindrome.

A palindromic number or numeral palindrome is a number that remains the same when its digits are reversed.

The term palindromic is derived from palindrome, which refers to a word ( such as rotor or racecar ) whose spelling is unchanged when its letters are reversed.

The fact that Wayne's ZIP code, 07470, is a palindrome, was noted on an episode of the television series Full House in the seventh season episode " Smash Club: The Next Generation ".

* Apollo, PA is a palindrome.

Taylor is one of the few early authors of a palindrome that can be credited as such: in 1614, he wrote " Lewd did I live, & evil I did dwel.

Any number b + 1 is written as " 11 < sub > b </ sub >" in base b, so 11 is trivially a palindrome in base 10.

circle sentence ) is a Japanese equivalent of palindrome, or in other words, a sentence that reads the same from the beginning to the end or from the end to the beginning.

* The word is noteworthy for being a palindrome.

In base ten, 26 is the smallest number that is not a palindrome to have a square ( 26 ^ 2 = 676 ) which is a palindrome.
