Reality distortion

The situation is illustrated in Fig. 2.15 where a signal is shown which has been obtained in the analytical reality, distorted and disfigured by noise and broadening. All of these effects can be returned to a certain degree by techniques of signal treatment like deconvolution, signal accumulation and smoothing, etc.

The authors emphasize that the values of the torsion angles derived in this way are reliable. They have found that the equatorial conformer of the compounds studied is in reality distorted into a half-chair. 

Even in a homogeneous solid elastic wheel the distortion is complex and requires sophisticated methods to arrive at a precise relation between force and slip. For tires this is even more difficult because of its complex internal structure. Nevertheless, even the simplest possible model produces answers which are reasonably close to reality in describing the force-slip relation in measurable quantities. This model, called the brush model—or often also the Schallamach model [32] when it is associated with tire wear and abrasion—is based on the assumption that the wheel consists of a large, equally spaced number of identical, deformable elements (the fibers of a brush), following the linear deformation law... 

In reality, several factors were mentioned as being responsible for this behavior, such as variations in bond angle distortion, in the internal stress or in the hydrogen content [40, 76], but all of them are also strongly correlated with the variation of optical gap width in amorphous carbon films. Theoretical work on Raman spectroscopy on DLC materials gave additional support for Dillon s interpretation [77]. 

The relation between diamond and zinc blende shown above is a formal view. The substitution of carbon atoms by zinc and sulfur atoms cannot be performed in reality. The distortion of the NiAs structure according to Fig. 18.4, however, can actually be performed. This happens during phase transitions (Section 18.4). For example, MnAs exhibits this kind of phase transition at 125 °C (NiAs type above 125 °C, second-order phase transition another transition takes place at 45 °C, cf. p. 238). 

All the salient features described here can be incorporated into a quantitative framework that takes into account stratification within the tissues and the parallel pathways [39]. It is instructive to consider a simple model based on these descriptions that embodies only transepidermal and transfollicular barrier elements. We can assume that each distinct tissue acts as a homogeneous phase, a gross distortion of reality but an assumption that nevertheless leads to a useful conceptual description. The resistance by the transepidermal route would be ... 

Tames thus distinguished between true hallucinations, which appear objectively jlted and fool the perceiver, and pseudohallucinations, which lack the character Jp objective reality. According to this terminology, the hallucinations produced by drugs were a mixture of true hallucinations, pseudohallucinations, and illusions (perceptual distortions). 

Drug myopia. Drug-induced distortion of a person s perceptions of reality such that the person is blinded to what is happening around him or her.
