An earlier method was Extended Huckel method, which explicitly ignores electron-electron repulsion terms.

Although the Af calculation is obvious by analogy with that for gravitational field and osmotic pressure, it is interesting to confirm it by a method which can be generalized to include related effects.

Following observation of the fact that the reaction rates of supposedly identical reaction mixtures prepared on the same filling manifold and exposed under identical conditions often differed by several hundred per cent, a systematic series of experiments was undertaken to see whether the difficulty could be ascribed to the method of preparing the chlorine, to the effects of oxygen or moisture or to the effect of surface to volume ratio in the reaction tubes.

As a brute-force method, ray tracing has been too slow to consider for real-time, and until recently too slow even to consider for short films of any degree of quality, although it has been used for special effects sequences, and in advertising, where a short portion of high quality ( perhaps even photorealistic ) footage is required.

The advantage of this method over the freq / viscosity versus K-factor method is that it takes into account temperature effects on the meter.

However, highly localized lighting effects ( such as specular highlights, e. g. the glint of reflected light on the surface of an apple ) will not be rendered correctly, and if a highlight lies in the middle of a polygon, but does not spread to the polygon's vertex, it will not be apparent in a Gouraud rendering ; conversely, if a highlight occurs at the vertex of a polygon, it will be rendered correctly at this vertex ( as this is where the lighting model is applied ), but will be spread unnaturally across all neighboring polygons via the interpolation method.

The effects of very high doses can be overwhelming depending on the particular strain, growth method, and the individual.

Auctions are a method of squeezing out speculators from a transaction, but they may have their own perverse effects ; see winner's curse.

The basis for determination of molecular weight according to the Staudinger method ( since replaced by the more general Mark-Houwink equation ) is the fact that relative viscosity of suspensions depends on volumetric proportion of solid particles.

Variations usually achieved as the result of different method and duration of fermentation, different on ratio of water, salt and fermented soy, different thickness or viscosity, as well as addition of other ingredients.

Some vegetable oil blends are used in unmodified vehicles but straight vegetable oil, also known as pure plant oil, needs specially prepared vehicles which have a method of heating the oil to reduce its viscosity.

; Boussinesq hypothesis: This method involves using an algebraic equation for the Reynolds stresses which include determining the turbulent viscosity, and depending on the level of sophistication of the model, solving transport equations for determining the turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation.

This led to such advances as a method for measuring the second coefficient of viscosity.

For first order equations, it can be obtained using the vanishing viscosity method or for most equations using Perron's method.

The name is justified by the fact that the existence of solutions was obtained by the vanishing viscosity method.

The vanishing viscosity method is not practical for second order equations in general since the addition of artificial viscosity does not guarantee the existence of a classical solution.

In method as well as in theme this little anecdote with its details selected as much for expressiveness and allegory as for `` realism '', anticipates a kind of musical composition, as well as a kind of fictional composition, in which, as Leverkuhn says, `` there shall be nothing unthematic ''.

They, however much they were in disagreement with the late Victorians over the method by which Britain was Germanized, agreed with them that the end result was the complete extinction of the previous Celtic population and civilization.

The result was that by secret agreement draft machinery was actually ready long before the country knew that the device was to take the place of the volunteering method which Theodore Roosevelt favored.

What was perhaps more important than his concept of the nature of history and the historical method were those forces which shaped the direction of his thought.

Mankind, as a result, attains previously undreamed of levels of civilization and culture, a golden age which the Overlords, a very evident symbol of science, have helped produce by introducing reason and the scientific method into human activities.

The instrumental method, however, is about 100 times more sensitive and yields numerical results which can be accurately repeated at will over a period of time.

Even among the fast set in which she was moving, her method for keeping an escort from departing too early was unique.

Over-chilling is an accepted method for covering up the faults of many a cheap or poor white wine, especially a dry wine -- and certainly less of a crime than serving a wine at a temperature which reveals it as unattractive.

Asparagales have a method of secondary thickening which is otherwise only found inDioscorea ( in the order Disoscoreales ).

If the method is applied to an infinite sequence ( X < sub > i </ sub >: i ∈ ω ) of nonempty sets, a function is obtained at each finite stage, but there is no stage at which a choice function for the entire family is constructed, and no " limiting " choice function can be constructed, in general, in ZF without the axiom of choice.

It has also been ascribed to Isaac Newton, in the form of a practical method of physical discovery ( which he did not name or formally describe ).

* Aura analysis – a technique in which supporters of the method claim that the body's aura, or energy field is analyzed

In strict analysis, abbreviations should not be confused with contractions or acronyms ( including initialisms ), with which they share some semantic and phonetic functions, though all three are connoted by the term " abbreviation " in loose parlance. An abbreviation is a shortening by any method ; a contraction is a reduction of size by the drawing together of the parts.
