Upon ejection the kinetic energy of the Auger electron corresponds to the difference between the energy of the initial electronic transition and the ionization energy for the electron shell from which the Auger electron was ejected.

Observation of electron tracks independent of the frequency of the incident photon suggested a mechanism for electron ionization that was caused from an internal conversion of energy from a radiationless transition.

Further investigation and theoretical work showed that the effect was a radiationless effect more than an internal conversion effect by use of elementary quantum mechanics and transition rate and transition probability calculations.

* Telecom New Zealand — Operated an AMPS / TDMA network in New Zealand from 1987 until 2007 throughout the whole country and the network was renowned for its superb coverage, In 2000 Telecom announced that they would discontinue the AMPS network within 5 years ( 2005 ) to give customers an opportunity to transition to the CDMA2000 and later 1XRTT technologies that replaced it.

Telstra deployed a CDMA network, which did not suffer this limitation, and while the AMPS network was closed down at the end of 1999 in the major cities, the closure deadline was extended until the end of 2000 in rural areas to ease the transition to CDMA.

It was especially important for preserving in its libraries manuscripts of Greek and Latin authors throughout a period when instability and disorder caused their mass-destruction in western Europe and north Africa: On the city's fall, thousands of these were brought by refugees to Italy, and played a key part in stimulating the Renaissance, and the transition to the modern world.

Their work was an important part of the transition from intuitive and geometric homology to axiomatic homology theory.

Carnivory was a natural transition from insectivory for medium and large tetrapods, requiring minimal adaptation ( in contrast, a complex set of adaptations was necessary for feeding on highly fibrous plant materials ).

Still further south lies the Polar front, which is marked by a transition to very cold, relatively fresh, Antarctic Surface Water at the surface.

It has gone through a radical transition in products, financing, and staff, now a very different company from the one which challenged Microsoft and Lotus in the early 1990s.

Interaction between the two is quantum mechanically a " forbidden transition ", i. e. possible with a very low probability.

The reaction of transition metal carbides with water is very slow and is usually neglected.

The active regions involve all the phenomena directly linked to the magnetic field, which occur at different heights on the Sun's surface: sunspots and faculae, happening in the photosphere, spicules, Hα filaments and plages in the chromosphere, prominences in the chromosphere and transition region, and flares and coronal mass ejections happening in the corona and chromosphere, but if flares are very violent can perturb also the photosphere and generate a Moreton wave, as described by Uchida.

A country may reach very low levels of forest cover before it stabilizes, or it might through good policies be able to “ bridge ” the forest transition.

While fused quartz ( primarily composed of SiO < sub > 2 </ sub >) is used for some special applications, it is not very common due to its high glass transition temperature of over 1200 ° C ( 2192 ° F ).< ref > Normally, other substances are added to simplify processing.

The transition from case to barrel is also very important.

The energy density per atomic transition of ionizing radiation is very high ; it can break apart molecules and induce ionization, which is not achieved by mere heating.

As a direct result of this cultural infusion, they became one of the very few Asian steppe tribal societies that successfully made the transition from nomad to urbanite.

The term unstable molecule is used for very reactive species, i. e., short-lived assemblies ( resonances ) of electrons and nuclei, such as radicals, molecular ions, Rydberg molecules, transition states, van der Waals complexes, or systems of colliding atoms as in Bose-Einstein condensate

Glasses are amorphous solids ( e. g. amorphous materials that are at temperatures below the glass transition temperature ) which are usually fabricated when the viscous molten material cools very rapidly to below its glass transition temperature, without sufficient time for a regular crystal lattice to form.

Beams with even higher energies can be used to create nuclei at very high temperatures, and there are signs that these experiments have produced a phase transition from normal nuclear matter to a new state, the quark-gluon plasma, in which the quarks mingle with one another, rather than being segregated in triplets as they are in neutrons and protons.

Modern PLCs can be programmed in a variety of ways, from the relay-derived ladder logic to programming languages such as specially adapted dialects of BASIC and C. Another method is State Logic, a very high-level programming language designed to program PLCs based on state transition diagrams.

Though the rate of early recovery is very high, with time a young stutterer may transition from easy, relaxed repetition to more tense and effortful stuttering, including blocks and prolongations.

The very southernmost parts of the taiga may have trees such as oak, maple, elm, and tilia scattered among the conifers, and there is usually a gradual transition into a temperate mixed forest, such as the Eastern forest-boreal transition of eastern Canada.

This fact, combined with the fact that some elements almost always have certain oxidation states ( due to their very high electropositivity or electronegativity ), allows one to compute the oxidation states for the remaining atoms ( such as transition metals ) in simple compounds.
