A fringe pattern was produced by two Argon ion laser beams (Spectra-Physics) set to a wavelength of 488 nm, and focused onto the capillary containing a 10 µL sample.
The Δt for cloud microphysics is determined as the largest time step to avoid artificial noise, and the ratio of Δt for dynamics to Δt for other physics is set to 10 based on the sensitivity experiments (see Appendix 2 of this paper for details of the sensitivity experiment).
The depletion laser (Mai Tai Ti Sapphire; Spectra Physics, Newport, Santa Clara, CA) was set to 760 nm.
Birkeland's story is a fascinating one, evoking the manic, punishing era of polar exploration as it overlapped with early-20th-century atomic physics, set against a background of Norway's struggle for independence and the outbreak of World War I.
"The Poetry of Physics," a group piece set to Rossini, features a stage full of red billiard balls.
The laser (Spectra Physics Mai Tai HP) wavelength was set to 800 nm and the power was increased at larger imaging depths to compensate signal attenuation.
Second, the unique contingencies of history, not the laws of physics, set many properties of complex biological systems.
The 276 zametok po fizike i korpuskulyarnoy filosofi ("276 Notes on Corpuscular Philosophy and Physics") set forth the dominant ideas of his scientific work.
The exhibits in the show include explorations of wind power and physics, set up in the neighborhood where Curious George lives.
"Just as physics set the pace for computing in the last 10 or 20 years, biology will set the pace for computing in the next 10 or 20 years," said William C. Blake, vice president for high-performance technical computing at Compaq.
They cite a study from a high school physics setting (Feldman, 2002) to illustrate the impact that teachers' differing beliefs can have on the ways in which they incorporate the same reform-based curriculum into their courses.
