  2. Cyclic sediments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_sediments

    Ginsburg (1971) suggested that asymmetric, shallowing-upward parasequences could be produced under conditions of steady subsidence and constant eustatic sea level by landward transport of carbonate sediment from subtidal zones, leading to progradation of inter- and supratidal zones. Continuing progradation reduces the size of the productive ...

  3. Light transport theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_transport_theory

    It forms the foundation of light transport theory, which models how light interacts with surfaces, volumes, and media. Energy Transfer Models: Light interacts with media through absorption, reflection, and transmission. These processes are governed by the rendering equation, which models the distribution of light in a scene. [1]

  4. Radiative transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_transfer

    Radiative transfer (also called radiation transport) is the physical phenomenon of energy transfer in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The propagation of radiation through a medium is affected by absorption , emission , and scattering processes.

    The Houston Museum of Natural Science (abbreviated as HMNS) is a natural history museum located on the northern border of Hermann Park in Houston, Texas, United States.The museum was established in 1909 by the Houston Museum and Scientific Society, an organization whose goals were to provide a free institution for the people of Houston focusing on education and science.

  6. Stellar structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_structure

    For energy transport refer to Radiative transfer.. The different transport mechanisms of high-mass, intermediate-mass and low-mass stars. Different layers of the stars transport heat up and outwards in different ways, primarily convection and radiative transfer, but thermal conduction is important in white dwarfs.

  7. Absorption (electromagnetic radiation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorption_(electromagnetic...

    By recording the attenuation of light for various wavelengths, an absorption spectrum can be obtained. In physics, absorption of electromagnetic radiation is how matter (typically electrons bound in atoms) takes up a photon's energy—and so transforms electromagnetic energy into internal energy of the absorber (for example, thermal energy). [1]

  8. Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirchhoff's_law_of_thermal...

    Radiation can pass from one system to the other. For example, suppose in the second system, the density of photons at narrow frequency band around wavelength were higher than that of the first system. If the optical filter passed only that frequency band, then there would be a net transfer of photons, and their energy, from the second system to ...

    In 1893 Almeda, with 50 people, received a post office. Almeda had 200 people, two general stores, and a lumber company in 1914. In 1925 the community had 80 residents. Almeda had four businesses in the 1930s. 1936 state highway maps indicated several buildings in the area. In 1948 the community had 125 residents.
