absorption

In my late teens and my twenties, I spent 10s of 1000s of hours in a state of intense absorption on programming tasks.

Maybe you have had your fill of conscious absorption, but I notice you have had the luxury of it in past years.

Note that the change in momentum is doubled for reflection vs emission or absorption.

Usually the absorption signal you're trying to measure is tiny compared to changes due to background fluctuations, etc.

Silicon Valley self-absorption never ceases to amaze me.

We can tune the absorption spectrum of the nanoparticle to absorb infrared light - light that is transparent to the human body.

Things tend to only work well for special types of materials that have very distinct absorption properties.

Do you think you might have that backwards?> the author's self-absorption, the victimization toneShe had a substance abuse problem.

One very real mainstream example of this is how calcium is accompanied by vitamin D, as the latter enhances absorption of the the former.

I don't know what's worst: the author's self-absorption, the victimization tone, or the fact that her colleagues had to do similar unhealthy shit in order to compete with her.

Photon absorption/detection is a quantum event, and limited by probability.

It does tend to concentrate in the same tissues as iodine for the obvious chemistry reason but it does not materially impede iodine absorption.

What is it about video + slides that appeals so little to people?A full transcript with interleaved slide images takes a few minutes to read at most, and lets you control the pace of information absorption.

I think that probably what really tripped me up when I was a teenager and a young man was that intense absorption was my only reliable or regular source of significant amounts of pleasure.

And I'm not even sure what of seawater would be absorbed on an empty stomach...it's possible more salt than water would be absorbed, leading to diarrhea as water is left unabsorbed in the intestine, leading to dehydration from poor water absorption and poor salt excretion.

In almost every art, it's a mentor-apprentice, tell-share-do-observe-create-influence paradigm, not passive absorption of technical details and performance-related tips.

And you know maybe that's a problem we should take seriously.>Despite these feelings of difference, we find that male students report less distress, are less affected by the perceived difference between themselves and their peers, and leave the major in smaller proportion; and despite resistance to total absorption in computing, they do not feel like frauds.

As I mentioned on a post recently talking about research projects, my final year project in 1995, without going into too much detail, was modeling the expansion of the universe assuming a non-zero cosmological constant and tracing the paths of light through such an expanding/contracting/whatever universe, depending on assumed values, and studying the likely distribution of hydrogen absorption lines as it passed through a posited foam-like structure of walls and filaments of matter.
