These sorts of insights were the impetus for the development of the burgeoning field of sensory anthropology, which seeks to understand other cultures from within their own unique sensoria.

The same kind of work that Einstein did, the same kind of work, using the same methods ; but in a much broader field, much more close to human relationships.

This instrument had the advantage of a larger field of view and he was able to obtain precise positions of a large number of stars that transited close to the zenith over the course of about two years.

The White Stockings were close contenders all season, despite the fact that the Great Chicago Fire had destroyed the team's home field and most of their equipment.

He moved his field HQ to Burg al Arab, close to the Air Force command post in order better to coordinate combined operations.

The game was very close, and in the fourth quarter Walsh called a series of running plays as the 49ers marched down the field against the Cowboys prevent defense, which had been expecting the 49ers to mainly pass.

These regiments, which rarely took the field as complete organizations, served throughout the American Indian Wars through the close of the frontier in the 1890s.

Historically, the term originated in the mainframe field, where it had a well-defined meaning, very close to contemporary computer file.

A part of the " near-field " close to the transmitter, forms part of the changing electromagnetic field, but does not count as electromagnetic radiation.

Instead, they cause electromagnetic field behavior that only efficiently transfers power to a receiver very close to the source, such as the magnetic induction inside an electrical transformer, or the feedback behavior that happens close to the coil of a metal detector.

This is in contrast to dipole parts of the EM field close to the source ( the near-field ), which varies in power according to an inverse cube power law, and thus does not transport a conserved amount of energy over distances, but instead dies away rapidly with distance, with its energy ( as noted ) either rapidly returning to the transmitter, or else absorbed by a nearby receiver ( such as a transformer secondary coil ).

While the particles themselves can move quite slowly, sometimes with an average drift velocity only fractions of a millimetre per second, the electric field that drives them itself propagates at close to the speed of light, enabling electrical signals to pass rapidly along wires.

Their motivations are consistent with the convictions of James Daniel Bjorken and Sidney Drell: ” The Feynman graphs and rules of calculation summarize quantum field theory in a form in close contact with the experimental numbers one wants to understand.

In FIM, the ionization takes place close to the tip, where the field is strongest.

Attempts to extend the Standard Model or other quantum field theories by adding gravitons run into serious theoretical difficulties at high energies ( processes involving energies close to or above the Planck scale ) because of infinities arising due to quantum effects ( in technical terms, gravitation is nonrenormalizable ).

Three patients ' deaths have been reported in gene therapy trials, putting the field under close scrutiny.

Circuits and materials close to the inductor will have near-field coupling to the inductor's magnetic field, which may cause additional energy loss.

Manning's Colts defeated the Chargers in 1998 and 1999, but in 2004 with Leaf long gone from the game the revamped Chargers behind Drew Brees erupted into playoff contention ; on December 26 with both teams at 11-3 the Colts hosted the Chargers with Manning close to matching Dan Marino's touchdown record ; the Chargers stormed to a 31-16 lead, but Dominic Rhodes ' kickoff return put the Colts within eight points, then with one minute remaining Manning rifled a 21-yard touchdown to Brandon Stokley, breaking Marino's record ; the two-point try succeeded, then after Brees was intercepted the game went to overtime and the Colts won 34-31 on a field goal.

Electron irradiation uses electrons accelerated in an electric field to a velocity close to the speed of light.
