Therefore, four loose families of more-efficient light transport modelling techniques have emerged: rasterization, including scanline rendering, geometrically projects objects in the scene to an image plane, without advanced optical effects ; ray casting considers the scene as observed from a specific point-of-view, calculating the observed image based only on geometry and very basic optical laws of reflection intensity, and perhaps using Monte Carlo techniques to reduce artifacts ; and ray tracing is similar to ray casting, but employs more advanced optical simulation, and usually uses Monte Carlo techniques to obtain more realistic results at a speed that is often orders of magnitude slower.

Laser printer speed can vary widely, and depends on many factors, including the graphic intensity of the job being processed.

( Classically, light of sufficient intensity for the electric field to accelerate a charged particle to a relativistic speed will cause radiation-pressure recoil and an associated Doppler shift of the scattered light, but the effect would become arbitrarily small at sufficiently low light intensities regardless of wavelength.

Their music was based on the speed, brevity and intensity of punk, but included elements of jazz, folk, and funk.

Researchers have discovered that barrier width, slope steepness and updraft speed are major contributors for the optimal amount and intensity of orographic precipitation.

A vehicle flying at greater altitude will generate lower pressures on the ground, because the shock wave reduces in intensity as it spreads out away from the vehicle, but the sonic booms are less affected by vehicle speed.

The mechanical sources produce narrow band high intensity peaks relating to the rotational speed and movement of the moving parts.

So on one hand the speed of the stream remains constant, but on the other hand at larger proximity to zz the density of the stream increases and therefore its intensity is proportional to 1 / r < sup > 2 </ sup >.

* Enhancing the speed at which muscles recover from high intensity exercise

Especially during the months of November to April, the NAO is responsible for much of the variability of weather in the North Atlantic region, affecting wind speed and wind direction changes, changes in temperature and moisture distribution and the intensity, number and track of storms.

The feet grind back and forth on the floor, and the dance can be varied in speed, intensity, and vertical height as necessary.

There are many biogeochemical cycles that are currently being studied for the first time as climate change and human impacts are drastically changing the speed, intensity, and balance of these relatively unknown cycles.

* V < sub > B </ sub > speed, a designator in aviation related to gust intensity.

Fujita is recognized as the discoverer of downbursts and microbursts and also developed the Fujita scale, which differentiates tornado intensity and links tornado damage with wind speed.

Factors that determine the surge heights for landfalling tropical cyclones include the speed, intensity, size of the radius of maximum winds ( RMW ), radius of the wind fields, angle of the track relative to the coastline, the physical characteristics of the coastline and the bathymetry of the water offshore.

Global warming also affects the typhoon formation, strength, intensity, and speed.

By integrating varying delivery streams, hybrids enable pay-TV operators more flexible application deployment, which decreases the cost of launching new services, increases speed to market, and limits disruption for consumers.

Opelika Power Services is currently building a fiber to the user system that will provide citizens, businesses and other industries with internet speed of up to 150 meg, voice and video services and will enhance to deployment of smart grid services.

A development of the Lun-class ekranoplan was planned for use as a mobile field hospital for rapid deployment to any ocean or coastal location at a speed of 297 knots ( 550 km / h ).

An increasing trend is the deployment of a catamaran as a high speed ferry.

In its place came the " dense pack " concept which would speed deployment.

Later ASTM Standards have addressed the use of CPT for various environmental site characterization and groundwater monitoring activities. For geotechnical soil investigations, CPT is more popular compared to SPT as a method of geotechnical soil investigation. Its increased accuracy, speed of deployment, more continuous soil profile and reduced cost over other soil testing methods.

Mules were used to haul radios, ammunition, and heavier support weapons, including the bazooka and the U. S. 60 mm M2 Mortar ; the latter was often employed without its baseplate in order to speed deployment.

Gatso cameras in the UK previously had deployment requirements, in common with all fixed speed camera types operated in the UK by Safety Camera Partnerships ( SCPs ) under the National Safety Camera Programme ( NSCP ).

Some DSRV vessels are air transportable in very large military cargo planes to speed up deployment in case of emergency rescue missions.

Dashboard airbags received new two-stage sensors that matched deployment force to road speed and belt use ; they also automatically unlocked doors after the bags triggered.

The main advantage of these toolsets is therefore their speed of deployment, the drawback is that it brings yet another IT supplier to the organization.

This deployment is probably a mainframe record for speed of both development and adoption, since IBM only began its zAAP design project in 2003.

The front airbags use a dual-threshold, dual-stage technology that can adjust the timing and speed of each airbag deployment depending on the degree of impact and the driver's or front passenger's seat belt usage.

The report reads that " the evidence did not support improper wing configuration, airframe or system defects, or deployment of the speed brakes as reasons for the loss of aerodynamic efficiency.

The reaction speed will be increased, with an entire brigade on standby readiness for global deployment ; the military will retain the capability to deploy 2. 000 soldiers in international service, or 5. 000 for a short time span.

The announcement was in part the result of a report commissioned by the UK Department for Transport ( DfT ) to look at the differing effects of various strategies related to the deployment of speed cameras.

An attacker can successfully " defeat in detail " by exploiting a ) absolute weaknesses or comparative disadvantages in the deployment or structure of defending troops and / or b ) advantages, such as maneuvering speed, that the defender cannot match.
