absorptive

The physical contribution of their condensation trails, via their reflective and absorptive properties, is a minor player.

When ladies stopped wearing full length gowns, their new, more revealing clothing, was much less absorptive.

There's no reflective/absorptive setup that will make a room with a 10ft ceiling sound like it has a 20ft ceiling.

The superconductive magnet coils are exposed to the neutron flux that transfers fusion reaction energy to the absorptive thermal blanket.

You want them to be reflective in the visible spectrum (and strongly absorptive/emissive in the infrared).

But for what it's worth they clean themselves constantly, and cat litter is incredibly absorptive.

Private or semi-private offices with full height walls and absorptive ceilings are usually great.

They seem to have a standard of using a wood product that looks like spaghetti on the ceiling that is fairly absorptive.

Passively blocking signals through absorptive materials is not jamming and is not illegal.

Snow is the worst though - both visually obscuring and radar absorptive.

Also, I think HCN can be scrubbed by adding a special absorptive cap onto the battery.

Speakers in rooms must be measured in those rooms, as currently configured in terms of furniture and anything absorptive or reflective at audio frequencies.

Assuming the LLM is more competent than the user, it will still require “absorptive capacity” for the user to meaningfully use the output.

Instead, we have “highly absorptive colors”.

I've been trying to look for this idea without knowing it's called "spectral rendering", looking for "absorptive rendering" or similar instead, which led me to dead ends.

I bet the thinking was something along the lines of "kitty litter is an inert absorptive material", and nobody really thought much about the differences between types of kitty litter, and whether or not they were truly inert.

Absorptive Markov chains (for the linked puzzle) are an OR tool that solves the problem very efficiently.

Absorptive ceilings provide (1) bulk absorption in a room and (2) reduce the primary reflecting path among open offices when there are partitions of modest height between workspaces.
