We developed a habit of quickly trying to make sense of scattered facts, because over-interpretation ("there's a rustle in the brush it must be important!") was more adaptive than under-interpretation ("there's a rustle in the brush probably nothing").
In reality, the forested areas that would generate the lowest returns in cropland as of 2015, the areas where payments for avoided deforestation would make the most economic sense, are scattered across the globe.
Furthermore, we show that more complex sensor architectures with multiple sensing regions scattered along a single optical fibre enable multiplexed detection and dynamic self referencing of the sensing signal.
But if you're going to deploy 8,000 of these lead-acid batteries, it makes more sense to scatter them all across the Los Angeles area.
The first inner product term in (9) is called the local-sense scattering function (LSSF): P L S S U S ( τ, s ) = R y, X Δ + Δ τ, Δ ( s + Δ s ) + Δ s ( τ, s ) Δ ( t + Δ t ) + Δ t (13).
The projectors cast images onto the screens while the cameras sense infrared light scattered by fingers at the surface.
"So it appears that common sense can be scattered to the wind if you don't have to pick up the tab.
A specific set up of a laser source, pointing towards anywhere on the wear-track of the pin on the disk, and a detector to sense the light scattered from the surface, located off the plane of incidence, providing an LLS signal whose changes are related to the surface damage due to the pass of the pin as it runs over the disk.
The fraction emitted in an angle larger than the total reflection angle propagates through the sensing layer is scattered by a so-called scattering spot in a distance of 5 10 mm and is quantified by a detector.
For sensing applications, scattering and optical interference lead to crosstalk between detectors which are designed to detect the power of specific orders as illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 5 Reflection measurement of the diffraction orders at λ = 632 nm from the single-layer grating.
