See-through

Compared to optical photography. X-rays have the distinct advantage that they see through opaque clouds of smoke and debris. Most materials can also be penetrated by the appropriate high-energy X-rays, making internal voids in materials, such as incipient spalls, clearly visible. 

Visual Air Quality air quality evaluated in terms of pollutant particles and gases that affect how well one can see through the atmosphere. 

KF-2HF melts at about 60°C and in the usual operating range of 90 to 100 °C it has a tolerable HF vapor pressure. It has a low viscosity, and is water clear, but in operation gas bubbles make it difficult to see through. 

Mark s watching me, and this time there s no mistaking what s in his gaze. I meet it, hold it, try to see through it to Adam, because otherwise Adam s lost to me. 

An IR detector can "see" through substantially more contamination on its viewing window than a UV detector. 

In some cases radiation shields are provided to protect against heat effects from fire incidents and operation requirements. The shields usually are of two styles either a dual layer wire mesh screen or a plexy-giass see through barrier. The shields provide a barrier from the effects of radiant heat for specific levels. They are most often used for protection against flare heat and for barriers at fixed firewater monitor devices, most notably at the helidecks of offshore facilities. 

It responds well to a wide range of hydrocarbon fires and is blind to welding arcs except when very close to the detector. It can see through smoke and other contaminates that could blind a UV detector. It generally ignores lightning, electrical arcs and other forms of radiation. It is blind to solar radiation and resistant to most forms of artificial lighting. 

Soil and soil suspensions are colored and hard to see through. Thus, it is hard to directly titrate them using colored indicators. There are typically only two cases where direct titrations of soil are carried out. The first is to determine the amount of amendment needed to bring the soil to a desired pH. The second is in the determination of soil organic matter where organic matter is oxidized with chromate and the unreacted chromate is titrated (actually called a back titration) to determine, by subtraction, the amount of dichromate reduced and thus the amount of organic matter present. 

The reality is quite different. Many admissions directors have spoken out about the fact that they are not looking for kids who can do everything well. They can see through all of the "busyness" that level of activity implies, and wonder what, if anything, the student is truly interested in. The mission of the admissions committee is to put together a freshman class that is well rounded. That means some serious thinkers, some athletes, some do-gooders, some musicians, some economics majors, and some science majors. 

Pointing out that such events could jeopardize the program, I successfully argued for the conversion of an empty office into an injury-proof room, outfitted with padding on the floor and walls. At one end, the carpenters installed a see-through mirror. Observers could watch unobtmsively, make notes in the chart and be ready to intervene if anything troublesome developed. 

That s what I call not seeing through a glass - one that stayed dark because I forgot to turn on the light. What is the expression We get too soon old and... 

To see through the eyes of this theory is to see one s place in the spiral scheme and to know and anticipate when the transition to new epochs will occur. One sees this in the physical world. The planet is five or six billion years old. The formation of the inorganic universe occupies the first turn of the spiral wave. Then life appears. If one examines this planet, which is the only planet we can examine in depth, one finds that processes are steadily accelerating in both speed and complexity. 

Is your "o" clear and clean, like you could put your eye up to it and see through it Does it contain loops and circles Is it narrow and closed All the variety speaks volumes about your level of candidness. Even a secretive person can seem like a liar because he tends to withhold information, instead of offering it. If the truth carries pain and dire consequences, even a basically honet person can be persuaded to hold back total truth. It can get complex. 

I felt a little nettled that he could see through me so easily, although it was obvious enough. If that were hue, who would be the most likely killer this time ... 

The homunculus sees through Faust, who is transparent like a glass or like Hoffmann s Clara. Indeed, the homunculus sees more clearly than Mephistopheles, and the two of them can be considered cousins because neither is a true man. As in the case of the golem, then, the Faustian homunculus threatens to triumph over man. In any case, Goethe seems to have insisted on the active principle of this being. The homunculus makes... 

The two most widely employed reflective layers are 24 K gold and a silver alloy. The layers are thin enough, about 50-100 nm thick, to allow us to see through them. 

And see through all things with his half-shut eyes. 

When I wake up at night with ideas, I jot the ideas on a pad so that I can recall them in the morning. Proust also woke with his head flooded with memories and ideas. He sometimes awoke unaware of where he was or even who he was. He seemed to transcend space and time as he remembered events of his youth or conjured poetic visions of his great-aunt s house in Combray or his trips to Paris, Doncieres, and Venice. As you will see through anecdotes scattered throughout this book, his realities are often not ordinary realities to which you and I have ready access. 

When Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) decided to anatomize the atom, he chose gold for the same reason that medieval artists used it to decorate their altarpieces it can be hammered into very, very thin sheets of almost gossamer transparency. This, concluded the New Zealand-born physicist, meant that he could study a sample only a few atoms thick. That was important, for Rutherford wanted to find out what was in the atom. So he needed a thin section, for much the same reason that the microscopist pares off a thin sliver of tissue for investigation. He needed to see through it. 

What Bennls means by these terms is set out in Box 3.1. You may feel that Bennis vignette of a leader s state of mind does not encapsulate exactly the kind of attitudes you need or wish to cultivate for yourself. The point, however. Is that you do need to think differently If you are to create and see through new projects rather than remain an Implementer of directives and Instructions.
