Little air [5] and Aydinli and Krockman [6] presented polynomial relations of different degrees using solar altitude as the only independent input variable for beam luminous efficacy.
The transporter (which reduced the crew to a luminous fuzz before beaming them down on adjacent worlds) was invented simply because the space shuttle hadn't turned up in time.
Clarke told me that when the ego chamber is fully decorated the walls will reflect a luminous white ray of pure and undiluted ego — a ray of such intensity that any transient droplet of self-doubt that happens by will be consumed as if by a laser beam.
It showed up in other work, too, like Russell Aikins's photograph of Henry and Edsel Ford in front of the massive steel beams and luminous metal smokestacks of the River Rouge plant, or Arthur Gerlach's vision of brave construction workers high above the city.
These sources are usually beamed, and the luminous phase associated with an X-ray flare lasts from a day to a month.
Just before we begin our loop again, Abby turns to me, wraps her puffy-coated arms around me and beams her face, luminous as the stars, up at me.
Workmen have turned the administrative wing under the rooftop into a luminous white gallery with thick chestnut beams and a view of the Eiffel Tower, and expanded public space in the basement will allow school tours.
After interaction with tube the light beams suffer from imperfect reflections resulting in non-uniform luminous intensity solid even if the sky luminance is constant.
Those beams of light were a soaring, luminous tribute to the victims, the brilliant courage of our city and our oneness with the world at that time.
The result is Aerial 3D, which uses laser beams to create text out of tiny, luminous dots.
Common suspects for the mechanism that powers the most luminous X-ray stellar sources, are super-Eddington accretion, beaming and sub-Eddington accretion on intermediate-mass black holes.
