The model will be formulated in terms of blocks of VSAs, indexed such that a lower index represents a higher dominance (Fig. 1a, top).
The industry group has reported a lower index value only seven times since it began conducting monthly surveys in 1986.
Respondents who scored higher on all six questions received a higher index score, while respondents who scored lower received a lower index score.
Another crystal form of TiO2, anatase, is sometimes used in coatings, but its lower index of refraction (2.55) makes it a less optically efficient pigment.
One interesting consequence of the law of refraction is associated with light passing into a medium with a lower index of refraction.
According to simulation effective mode area of 1798 μm2 is achieved at an operating wavelength of 1.064 μm when no lower index rod is used.
With a hypothetical polycentric city structure and adjusted job housing balance, a lower index occurs because of the improvements in urban transport performance.
Results showed that in terms of S, hand texturing resulted in a lower index value (inferring a degraded soil) than that of pipette, hydrometer and laser equivalents.
Then extending the length of veins substantially shrinks this PBG, and for an appropriate vein length creates the new complete PBG at lower index bands.
Light is totally internally reflected in many types of reflecting prism and in fibre optics, in which long fibres of high-index glass clad with a thin layer of lower index glass are assembled side-by-side in precise order.
Sugary drinks, white bread and other highly processed carbohydrates rank higher on the index, while those that are digested more slowly, like brown rice, many vegetables, unrefined grains and legumes, have a lower index value.
