Haslett's description of the mansion's enviable features — its cavernous rooms, futuristic security system, and master bathroom with "chilled marble" floors, double sinks and showers, and both a Jacuzzi and a bathtub accented with slate — functions as a handy form of characterization, representing its protagonist's aimlessly and at times angrily materialistic nature.
There is a weak implication here to the effect that if science aims at truth and scientific practice is at all successful, the characterization of scientific realism in terms of aim may then entail some form of characterization in terms of achievement.
While the complex random variable description of a wireless channel as Rayleigh, Rician, etc., forms one aspect of characterization, another one involves taking the time-variations of the channel filter taps into consideration.
The design of biomedical devices almost always involves some form of mechanical characterization of biomaterials.
The fullband ARMA spectrum estimation can be realized in two-channels as a special form of this characterization.
The examination is most often in the form of kinetic characterization and interpretation of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters that results in mechanistic conclusions.
With input in the form of statistical characterization data obtained from serial-sectioning of the microstructures, this module is intended to provide computational modeling efforts with a microstructure representation that is statistically similar to the actual polycrystalline material.
High frequency transducers allow superior near field resolution and form the basis of characterization of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
We are aware that RNA-Seq enables a more extensive profiling of the transcriptome by facilitating the discovery of fusion genes [ 20], detection and quantification of alternative splice forms, and characterization of expressed mutations and polymorphisms [ 14].
The experimental screen successfully found all five structurally characterized solid forms, allowed characterization of two additional anhydrate polymorphs (AH-I and AH-III), and resulted in numerous novel forms: a fifth monohydrate (MH-V) and 22 solvates, the majority of which were mixed solvates with water.
