It is called " subjective " because the detailed structure of the speckle pattern depends on the viewing system parameters ; for instance, if the size of the lens aperture changes, the size of the speckles change.

When the speckle pattern changes in time, due to changes in the illuminated surface, the phenomenon is known as dynamic speckle, and it can be used to measure activity, as in ( for example ) an optical computer mouse.

Henderson note, “ To those who are not completely disillusioned by the work of their predecessors, the disqualification of the Piltdown skull changes little in the broad evolutionary pattern.

These researchers argue that the combinatorial nature of transcriptional regulation allows a rich substrate for morphological diversity, since variations in the level, pattern, or timing of gene expression may provide more variation for natural selection to act upon than changes in the gene product alone.

therefore this epidemiology is based upon how the pattern of the disease cause changes in the function of everyone.

When a front passes over an area, it is marked by changes in temperature, moisture, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, and often a change in the precipitation pattern.

The magnetometer team realized that the changes in the direction of the magnetic field mentioned above agreed with the " draping " pattern expected in a comet's ion, or plasma tail.

The piece begins on a C major chord ( patterns one through seven ) with a strong emphasis on the mediant E and the entrance of the note F which begins a series of slow progressions to other chords suggesting a few subtle and ambiguous changes of key, the last pattern being an alteration between B ♭ and G. Though the polyphonic interplay of the various patterns against each other and themselves at different rhythmic displacements is of primary interest, the piece may be considered heterophonic.

His early tracks are somewhat ambient, but already feature the rhythm pattern of his seminal 1997 work Modus Operandi, which embodies most of his mid-nineties style: atmospheric, but at the same time very cold and paranoid, consisting mostly of jazz-influenced, highly complex drum patterns and sequenced double bass lines, sometimes with minimalistic synth melodies on top.

The corresponding average over non-flux-adjusted models forms a similar error pattern ( with somewhat increased amplitude ) over land.

The rotation has often followed the pattern of being played in Scotland and England alternately, being in Scotland somewhat more often than in England.

Recent genetic analysis suggest that the geographic pattern of burbot may indicate multiple species or sub-species, making this single taxon species somewhat misleading.

The better marbles were opened out so that the two surfaces produced by the division formed a symmetrical pattern resembling somewhat the marking of skins of beasts.

Together, they form a group of smallish shanks which tend to have red or reddish legs, and in breeding plumage are generally a subdued, light brown above with some darker mottling, with a pattern of somewhat diffuse small brownish spots on the breast and neck.

Distinctive features ( Brodmann-1905 ): Compared to Brodmann area 18-1909, the pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer ( III ) are not as densely distributed, the layer is not as narrow, and its boundary with the internal granular layer ( IV ) is not as distinct ; the cells in sublayer 3b are concentrated at its outer boundary leaving a narrow clear zone with no large pyramidal cells adjacent to layer IV ; the granule cells of layer IV are less densely distributed and are intermixed with larger polymorphic cells so that, while the layer is still quite dark and prominent, it is somewhat widened and not as self-contained ; the internal pyramidal layer ( V ) is characterized by large pyramidal ganglion cells, most in small groups, a pattern not seen in area 18 ; the cells in the multiform layer ( VI ) are clearly larger than in area 18 ; overall area 19 is somewhat thicker and less densely populated than area 18.
