Compared with the Gulf of Mexico, the Mediterranean has lower exchanges of water with nearby oceans and calmer winds and waves, diminishing its ability to disperse or dilute a spill.
Because of the high reflectivity of the plates of the etalon, the successive multiple reflections of light waves diminish very slowly in intensity and form very narrow, sharp fringes.
Conversely, the response of the long-baseline strainmeter to seismic waves diminishes at high frequencies.
However, when the sea state worsens, and the thermal distinction between the target and the breaking waves diminishes, ViBe's performance weakens (Figures 8 and 9).
They designed a Computed Ultrasound Risk Evaluation device, dubbed CURE, that sends pulsed sound waves from 256 ultrasound sensors surrounding a breast and measures how much sound is reflected, how quickly waves pass through the breast, and how the sound waves diminish.
First, as the epidemic progressed throughout India, the severity of the wave diminished, as evidenced by the negative correlations between severity and timing.
The wave diminishes over long historical periods, only to rise again when something truly important is at stake.
At late times, as the blast wave diminishes in strength, these processes increasingly dominate while the instability physics weakens.
However, under the condition of other attack angles, the slope of the oblique shock wave diminishes when considering the thermochemical non-equilibrium effect.
And if we do continue to perform as we have in '03 and '04, then we really do set ourselves up very nicely for '05 and beyond, when the product cost wave diminishes and the new products are biting in the marketplace.
This fact was obvious as two distinct waves were seen in IPD cases but second wave was diminished in OPD data.
