In practice, a bidirectional reflectance distribution function ( BRDF ) may be required to characterize the scattering properties of a surface accurately, although the albedo is a very useful first approximation.

It is this reluctance which was felt by the Rijksmuseum to reattribute works to other painters ( Abraham van Calraet does not even appear in a Museum catalogue until 1926, and even then he is not given his own entry ) which shows how important it is to art historians that painters are accurately connected to their works — and this is continuously necessary for those of Aelbert Cuyp, as Dordrecht ’ s most famous painter may not in fact be Dordrecht ’ s most famous painter.

Some of this knowledge is in the form of facts that can be explicitly represented, but some knowledge is unconscious and closely tied to the human body: for example, the machine may need to understand how an ocean makes one feel to accurately translate a specific metaphor in the text.

Another technique called constructive solid geometry defines objects by conducting boolean operations on regular shapes, and has the advantage that animations may be accurately produced at any resolution.

However, phthalocyanine is more sensitive than cyanine to writing laser power calibration, meaning that the power level used by the writing laser has to be more accurately adjusted for the disc in order to get a good recording ; this may erode the benefits of dye stability, as marginally written discs ( with higher correctable error rates ) will lose data ( i. e. have uncorrectable errors ) after less dye degradation than well written discs ( with lower correctable error rates ).

While not directing or leading the class to a conclusion, the teacher may work to accurately formulate problems within the scope of the texts being studied.

The total population of Inuit speaking their traditional language is difficult to assess with precision, since most counts rely on self-reported census data that may not accurately reflect usage or competence.

Benjamin Z. Kedar estimates that there were between three hundred thousand and three hundred and sixty thousand non-Franks in the Kingdom, two hundred and fifty thousand of whom were villagers in the countryside, and " one may assume that Muslims were in the majority in some, possibly most parts of the kingdom of Jerusalem …" As Ronnie Ellenblum points out, there simply is not enough existing evidence to accurately count the population and any estimate is inherently unreliable.

Invertebrates may possess excretory organs that are sometimes referred to as " kidneys ", but, even in Amphioxus, these are never homologous with the kidneys of vertebrates, and are more accurately referred to by other names, such as nephridia.

For example, rather than expressing a sound file as the amplitude levels over time, one may express it as the frequency spectrum over time, which corresponds more accurately to human audio perception.

While data reduction ( compression, be it lossy or lossless ) is a main goal of transform coding, it also allows other goals: one may represent data more accurately for the original amount of space – for example, in principle, if one starts with an analog or high-resolution digital master, an MP3 file of a given size should provide a better representation than a raw uncompressed audio in WAV or AIFF file of the same size.

The upper ( Cretaceous ) boundary is set at the Cretaceous-Tertiary ( KT ) extinction event ( now more accurately called the Cretaceous – Paleogene ( or K – Pg ) extinction event ), which may have been caused by the impactor that created Chicxulub Crater on the Yucatán Peninsula.

None of these can be accurately identified with ancient descriptions, though it is not unlikely that some of the narrow-leaved cultivars most esteemed may be descendants of the Licinian olive.

Some passwords are formed from multiple words and may more accurately be called a passphrase.

In other parts of the world, most traditional societies have been drastically altered or destroyed, so the incidence of polyandry in the past may not be accurately known.

Boundaries ( and thus coordinates ) may be determined more accurately from geochemical and geophysical data obtained by future missions.

" However, technically speaking, the buyer of the contract generally retains legal responsibility for the losses " transferred ", meaning that insurance may be described more accurately as a post-event compensatory mechanism.

Hard science fiction, or " hard SF ", is characterized by rigorous attention to accurate detail in quantitative sciences, especially physics, astrophysics, and chemistry, or on accurately depicting worlds that more advanced technology may make possible.

It may be more accurately described as a game loosely based on Shadowrun.

It cannot be accurately dated and may have been installed at any time during phase 3.

The binomial probability distribution may describe the variation that occurs from one set of trials of such a binomial experiment to another.

) On the other hand, even when the binomial model does not describe well the physical phenomenon being studied, the binomial model may still be used as a baseline for comparative purposes ; ;

More complex alkenes may be named using the E-Z notation, used to describe molecules having three or four different substituents ( side groups ).

In music, the term abstraction can be used to describe improvisatory approaches to interpretation, and may sometimes indicate abandonment of tonality.

Although Zermelo's fix allows a class to describe arbitrary ( possibly " large ") entities, these predicates of the meta-language may have no formal existence ( i. e., as a set ) within the theory.

The name of the god may have been derived from bragr, or the term bragr may have been formed to describe ' what Bragi does '.

Cultural Christian is a broad term used to describe people with either ethnic or religious Christian heritage who may not believe in the religious claims of Christianity, but who retain an affinity for the culture, art, music, and so on related to it.

His equations describe the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker universe, which may expand or contract, and whose geometry may be open, flat, or closed.

Fans sometimes make up explanations for such errors that may or may not be integrated into canon ; this has come to be colloquially known as fanwanking ( a term originally coined by the author Craig Hinton to describe excessive use of continuity ).

However circumference may also describe the outside of elliptical closed curves.

Another main function of constitutions may be to describe the procedure by which parliaments may legislate.

In some cases it may be difficult to describe x independently of such a limiting process involving rational numbers.

The concept of context-sensitive grammar was introduced by Noam Chomsky in the 1950s as a way to describe the syntax of natural language where it is indeed often the case that a word may or may not be appropriate in a certain place depending upon the context.

When a sample consists of more than one variable, descriptive statistics may be used to describe the relationship between pairs of variables.

The dimension of a physical quantity is the combination of the basic physical dimensions ( usually mass, length, time, electric charge, and temperature ) which describe it ; for example, speed has the dimension length per time, and may be measured in meters per second, miles per hour, or other units.

DBMSs may use a variety of database models, such as the relational model or object model, to conveniently describe and support applications.

The above compositions may describe most of the explosive material, but a practical explosive will often include small percentages of other substances.

E-Prime and Charles Kay Ogden's Basic English may lack compatibility because Basic English has a closed set of verbs, excluding verbs such as " become ", " remain ", and " equal " that E-Prime often uses to describe precise actions or states.
