He would not have stopped then, for anything less necessary than breath, it being a spectral sort of race that he ran, and one highly desirable to get to the end of.
What seems even more wonderful is that these spectral colors can be recombined so as to make white light.
While the mixture of the spectral colors produces white, it is not necessary to have all of the spectral colors in order to obtain white; because a mixture of the following colors alone, red, green, and blue, will give white.
Affirmative nod, accompanied by a spectral smile of such peculiar devilishness, that it struck an awakening light through my dull brain, and I cried`Did I stab him, mistaking him for you?
The faint spectral trees, dimly glimpsed through the shredding fog, were very pretty things to see.
Great shapes like big machines rose out of the dimness, and cast grotesque black shadows, in which dim spectral Morlocks sheltered from the glare.
If the period is not known, an autocorrelation plot or spectral plot can be used to determine it.

In the absence of spectral bleed-through, the cross-correlation function is zero for non-interacting particles.
In the semiclassical approach of quantum chaos, phenomena are identified in spectroscopy by analyzing the statistical distribution of spectral lines and by connecting spectral periodicities with classical orbits.
Statistical measures of quantum chaos were born out of a desire to quantify spectral features of complex systems.
A number of statistical measures are available for quantifying spectral features in a simple way.
This quantity is studied in the context of spectral graph theory.
It uses spectroscopy from the regularly updated GEISA spectral line data catalog.
It was introduced by . A spectral sequence is set up, the degeneration of which would give the results of Hodge theory and Dolbeault's theorem.
But it does remarkably well in this regard (it conveys 92% of spectral information) even when fruit beers are considered.
If the ratio test is not passed after clarification then the beer does not have "average spectral characteristics" and, technically, is not qualified to be characterized by the SRM method.
This illustrates that the SRM does convey full color information if the beer has average spectral characteristics.
Mu Arae has a listed spectral type of G3IV–V. The G3 part means the star is similar to our Sun (a G2V star).
One of the experimental results supporting this theory is the fact that the distribution of the number of flares observed in the hard X-rays is a function of the energy, following a power law with negative spectral index 1.8
If this distribution would have the same spectral index also at lower energies, flares, micro-flares and nanoflares might provide a considerable part of coronal heating.
Actually a negative spectral index of the order of 2 is required in order to maintain the solar corona.
Still, one can write formula_1 in a spectral decomposition,
with a projector-valued measure formula_27.
During his career he elaborated Spectral Map Analysis in 1975 and was one of the cofounders of chemometrics in 1983.
The CASE tools have been used for the purpose of structure revision whereby algorithms have been demonstrated to outperform human interpretation of spectral data.
He promotes the use of Open Data, particularly spectral data, publishes in Open Access journals and is an advocate for Open Notebook Science.
In the past Lacaille 8760 has been classified anywhere from spectral class K7 down to M2.

Spectral evidence played a key role in the Salem Witch Trials.
"The Witches of Early America" defines spectral evidence as, “the supernatural phenomena thought to occur when a vision or ‘spectre’ of an accused witch appeared to a witness”.
However, they did bring forth spectral evidence with the story of their daughter.
In atomic physics, Doppler broadening is the broadening of spectral lines due to the Doppler effect caused by a distribution of velocities of atoms or molecules.
Then, the broadening depends only on the frequency of the spectral line, the mass of the emitting particles, and their temperature, and therefore can be used for inferring the temperature of an emitting body.
