So, Mr. de Berge said, "if we characterize this as pure speculation," the biggest beneficiary, in his state at least, would probably be Mr. Gingrich.
Legislation is critical, but I often wonder, How can our society ever progress toward being colorblind if we characterize every social problem in terms of race (or sex or sexual orientation)?
Again, the bifurcations must be opposites, like White and Black, Straight and Bent; and if we characterize one branch by either term, we must characterize the other by its opposite, and not, for example, characterize one branch by a colour, the other by a mode of progression, swimming for instance.
If we characterize the light as an SPD, and we characterize absorption by the surface or filter using a spectrum of reflectivity or transmissivity, respectively, i.e. the percentage of light reflected or transmitted at each wavelength, then the SPD of the outgoing light can be computed by multiplying the two spectra.
If we characterize the allowable transformations of a utility function, we have thereby specified which of its features are meaningful.
If we characterize the non-natural properties as ones that elude scientific investigation then mental properties will be non-natural ones.
If we characterize electron damage by a critical fluence D c measured at a low dose rate, destruction within a time T requires J T > D c.
If we characterize possible priors by means of a set of parameters, we can express this uncertainty about prior choice in a probability distribution over the parameters that characterize the shape of the prior.
A mapping F : Y → W α ( X ) is called a fuzzy mapping, that is, F y ∈ W α ( X ) for each y in Y. Thus, if we characterize a fuzzy set Fy in a metric space X by a membership function Fy, then F y ( x ) is the grade of membership of x in Fy.
This is so even if we characterize events of lateral transfer, which usually only occur among closely related biological species.
