* Pockels effect, the refractive index is affected by a static electric field ; used in electro-optic modulators ;

Generally a nonlinear optical material ( organic polymers have the fastest response rates, and thus are best for this application ) with an incident static or low frequency optical field will see a modulation of its refractive index.

One key idea within the The Limits to Growth is the notion that if the rate of resource use is increasing, the amount of reserves cannot be calculated by simply taking the current known reserves and dividing by the current yearly usage, as is typically done to obtain a static index.

For static assignment, a hashing function can be used to transform URLs ( or, even better, complete website names ) into a number that corresponds to the index of the corresponding crawling process.

An embedded index requires more time to create than a conventional static index ; however, an embedded index can save time in the long run when the material is updated or repaginated.

This is because, with a static index, if even a few pages change, the entire index must be recreated, while with an embedded index, only the pages that changed need updating or indexing.

However, the factor of physical isolation is not a static situation.

Three seconds flat is the usual time, and the space is crossed by moderate mileage, while the overwhelming immensity of such journeys must be conceived as a static pulsation through an enormous number of coexistent frequencies which perpetuate all events.

Current research suggests that, if a person is able to walk with or without a mobility aid, physical therapy should include an exercise program addressing five components: static balance, dynamic balance, trunk-limb coordination, stairs, and contracture prevention.

where is the acoustic pressure and is the acoustic fluid velocity vector, is the vector of spatial coordinates, is the time, is the static mass density of the medium and is the bulk modulus of the medium.

Being a protective encasement with at least one gun position, it is essentially a pillbox or small fortress ( though these are static fortifications of a purely defensive nature ) that can move toward the enemy-hence its offensive utility.

Sacrificial anodes are particularly needed for systems where a static charge is generated by the action of flowing liquids, such as pipelines and watercraft.

Since it was an analog standard, it is very susceptible to static and noise and has no protection from eavesdropping using a scanner.

with the background energy level independent of r. In a static situation ( no motion of the fluid in the rotating frame ), this energy is constant independent of position r. Requiring the energy to be constant, we obtain the parabolic form:

Shannon and Weaver also recognized that often there is static that interferes with one listening to a telephone conversation, which they deemed noise.

In general, a component that is switching uses more energy than an element in a static state.

It should be noted that there is nothing static or " official " about this process.

The universe described by the Einstein model is static ; space is finite and unbounded ( analogous to the surface of a sphere, which has a finite area but no edges ).

The view that there was no rigid structure is reinforced by S. T. Joshi, who stated " Lovecraft's imaginary cosmogony was never a static system but rather a sort of aesthetic construct that remained ever adaptable to its creator's developing personality and altering interests ... here was never a rigid system that might be posthumously appropriated ... he essence of the mythos lies not in a pantheon of imaginary deities nor in a cobwebby collection of forgotten tomes, but rather in a certain convincing cosmic attitude.

Industrial scale composting in the form of in-vessel composting, aerated static pile composting, and anaerobic digestion takes place in most Western countries now, and in many areas is mandated by law.

* Typing is static, but weakly enforced: all data has a type, but implicit conversions can be performed ; for instance, characters can be used as integers.

Examples of volatile memory are primary memory ( typically dynamic RAM, DRAM ), and fast CPU cache memory ( typically static RAM, SRAM, which is fast but energy-consuming and offer lower memory capacity per area unit than DRAM ).

Since the compression ratio is the ratio between dynamic and static volumes of the combustion chamber the Atkinson cycle's method of increasing the length of the powerstroke compared to the intake stroke ultimately altered the compression ratio at different stages of the cycle.

Intake port tuning and scavenging may allow a greater mass of charge ( at a higher than atmospheric pressure ) to be trapped in the cylinder than the static volume would suggest ( This " corrected " compression ratio is commonly called the " dynamic compression ratio ".

Now that France has switched its currency to the euro, this static link remains true, at the rate of about 119. 26 Pacifique franc to one euro ( 1 euro being exactly 6. 55957 French francs ).

The gun crime rate rose between 1997 and 2004 but has since slightly receded, while the number of murders from gun crime has largely remained static over the past decade.

This generalization of the concept of slope allows very complex constructions to be planned and built that go well beyond static structures that are either horizontals or verticals, but can change in time, move in curves, and change depending on the rate of change of other factors.

In the anisotropic HTS, perhaps NMR measurements have found that the relaxation rate for copper depends on the direction of the applied static magnetic field, with the rate being higher when the static field is parallel to one of the axes in the copper oxide plane.

The market structure in industries with a relatively static demand or low growth rate of demand is different from the market structure in industries with an accelerated demand growth.

The particular note produced by the dune, between 60 and 105 hertz, is controlled by the rate of collision in the shear band separating the avalanche from the static part of the dune.

Variometers measure the rate of change of altitude by detecting the change in air pressure ( static pressure ) as altitude changes.

The designs described above, which measure the rate of change of altitude by automatically detecting the change in static pressure as the aircraft changes altitude are referred to as " uncompensated " variometers.

The rate monotonic priority assignment is optimal meaning that if any static priority scheduling algorithm can meet all the deadlines, then the rate monotonic algorithm can too.

Around 1900, the community was concentrated in a few areas, was geographically static and "... was characterised by very high death rate, very high birth rate, very early age at marriage, and 10 to 12 children per married woman ".

In datasheets, the static dv / dt is usually indicated as and, as mentioned before, is in relation to the tendency of a TRIAC to turn on from the off state after a large voltage rate of rise even without applying any current in the gate.

The rate equations may be solved by numerical integration to obtain a time-domain solution, or used to derive a set of steady state or small signal equations to help in further understanding the static and dynamic characteristics of semiconductor lasers.

The cell, however, will soon " adapt " to a constant or static stimulus, and the pulses will subside to a normal rate.

Similarly, if the fluorescent proteins bind to static cell receptors, the rate of recovery will be retarded by a factor related to the association and disassociation coefficients of binding.

A standard, static field will absorb heat at a fixed rate and will eventually overheat and explode if the ship does not leave the star regularly, but the absorption is slow enough to allow any ship with such a Field to survive for many hours before needing to exit the star to cool off.

The wider range for the Chronometer grade is designed to take into account the differences in a watches rate between static positions, as when the tests are performed, and the dynamic positions as when a watch is actually worn.

* Stroboscopic images – Where a series of static images are viewed in sequence at a high enough rate that the static images appear to blend into a continuous motion.
