Now the question is: which combination of modalities gives the best approximated appearance?
The Ryskin-Kimura installation, titled "Dusk" (2005), approximates the appearance of a scaled topographical model; the folds, bulges, creases and dips in the fabric resemble the natural contours of uneven, hilly terrain.
The camera that he used, a souped-up Red (he actually shot with a couple of Reds, two borrowed from his friend Steven Soderbergh), approximates the appearance of film without ever really looking like it.
The method accurately approximates the appearance of scenes under weak-perspective projection.
When the root node was fixed at 25 million years ago (mya), approximating the appearance of fossil Acacia pollen in Australia, the internal node corresponding to the presumed period of rapid speciation of Plurinerves, was dated at nearly 9 mya.
Mr. Lévesque hopes that if he can find Champlain's skull, researchers could approximate his physical appearance and artists could finally paint and sculpt an accurate resemblance of the explorer.
He's been pancaked into looking like a long-time fugitive whose face has been digitally aged to approximate his current appearance.
Modern day geographic distributions were determined by evolution and migrations 7,000 10,000 years ago (approximate time of appearance of LP phenotype).
It may even be modified by clothing, cosmetics, accessories and hair treatments, and all of that may be used to approximate an ideal appearance.
Currently the base of the Serpukhovian is roughly approximated near the first appearance of the conodont (a primitive chordate with tooth-shaped fossil remains) Lochriea ziegleri.
