Optical Decay
Optical decay is process of relaxation of excitation of an excited quantum system, usually due to the spontaneous emission of a photon or a phonon. Optical decay is dominant mechanism of quenching of excitation of active optical media. In solid-state lasers the optical decay limits the storage of energy in active medium. Also, the term optical decay is used to the effect of quick reduction of luminosity of astrophysical objects http://edoc.mpg.de/199219 Phenomenology of optical decay In the first approximation, the optical decay can be treated as just spontaneous emission, and its rate is determined with the Einstein Coefficients. For the most of laser systems, the effects of decoherence determine the spectral width of the emitted photons, and there is no reason to consider in detail the evolution of isolated quantum-mechanical systems which show the optical decay. Shape of spectral line at the optical decay of an idealized atom The "isolated" quantum system (atom, ion, molecu ...

Data Degradation
Data degradation is the gradual Data corruption, corruption of Data (computing), computer data due to an accumulation of non-critical failures in a data storage device. It is also referred to as data decay, data rot or bit rot. This results in a decline in data quality over time, even when the data is not being utilized. The concept of data degradation involves progressively minimizing data in interconnected processes, where data is used for multiple purposes at different levels of detail. At specific points in the process chain, data is irreversibly reduced to a level that remains sufficient for the successful completion of the following steps Manifestations Primary storages Data degradation in dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) can occur when the electric charge of a bit in DRAM disperses, possibly altering program code or stored data. DRAM may be altered by cosmic rays or other high-energy particles. Such data degradation is known as a soft error. ECC memory can be used to ...

Decay (DC Comics)
Decay is the name of three fictional characters owned by DC Comics. The first was an enemy of the pre-''Crisis'' Supergirl, while the second appeared as a villain in the ''Wonder Woman'' comic book series. The third version appeared in The New 52 as an enemy of Superboy. Fictional character biography Howard Pendergast Howard Pendergast is a delusional scientist who manipulates Gayle Marsh into becoming the super-villainess Psi to help him destroy civilization under the pretense of eradicating "decay". When Pendergast attempts to kill Psi for her failure to defeat Supergirl, she transforms him into a decaying monster before eventually restoring him to normal. Decay II Decay is a living statue created by Phobos to earn the approval of his father Ares. It battles Wonder Woman before she destroys it with the Lasso of Truth. Julian Lazarus later resurrects Decay by transferring its spirit into a virtual replica before Wonder Woman destroys it.''Wonder Woman'' (vol. 2) #112-113 ...

Com Truise
Seth Haley, known by his stage name Com Truise, is an American electronic musician and DJ. His stage name is a spoonerism of the name of American actor Tom Cruise. Biography Prior to 2010, Haley had released music under the pseudonyms Sarin Sunday, SYSTM, and Airliner. In 2010, the first Com Truise recording, the ''Cyanide Sisters'' EP, was released. Initially, the EP was a free download from the AMDISCS record label. Ghostly International digitally reissued it in January 2011. Haley resigned from his job as art director prior to this release. Com Truise remixed Daft Punk's song "ENCOM, Part II" for the '' Tron: Legacy Reconfigured'' album soon after. In June 2011, he released his debut album, '' Galactic Melt''. '' In Decay'' was the immediate full-length followup in 2012. Com Truise's songs are represented by Downtown Music Publishing. Haley is from Oneida, New York, and now resides in Orlando, Florida. In February 2022, Com Truise produced the music for Coinbase's vira ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
In Decay
''In Decay'' is a compilation album by American electronic musician Seth Haley's project Com Truise, released on July 16, 2012, by the independent record label Ghostly International. It is a collection of tracks that, prior to the release, were only available as tracks found on Haley's internet mixtape series, ''Komputer Kasts'', and his SoundCloud account. These early tracks, some of which were produced before the release of his debut EP, ''Cyanide Sisters'' (2010), showcase Haley exploring an electropop funk music sound that would later come to define Com Truise. Critical reception upon release was mixed; a common praise was the album's sound design, while frequent criticisms were its repetition, and lack of distinct tone and feel of each track. A follow-up compilation album, ''In Decay, Too'', was released in 2020. Background and release For Haley's second studio album of his Com Truise project, he initially planned to "kind of experiment more, because I was feeling a little ...

Decay Music
''Decay Music'' is the 1976 debut album by Michael Nyman, released on Brian Eno's Obscure Records music label. The two works on the album, "1-100" (composed 1 December 1975) and "Bell Set No. 1" (1974) are both built around the musical concept of decay. Both of these experiment with percussive, long decay musical forms. "1-100" is played at half the speed it was recorded. It was written for Peter Greenaway's film of the same title but rejected because it was too long. It was inspired by Frederic Rzewski's ''Les Moutons de Panurge'', which Nyman often played with the Scratch Orchestra. The album was first issued on compact disc on March 29, 2004, by EMI/Virgin. The original full-speed recording of "1-100" is included as a bonus track. Track listing All tracks composed by Michael Nyman #"1-100" (27:18) #"Bell Set No.1" (22:35) #"1-100 (Faster Decay)" (13:40) (CD-only) Personnel *Michael Nyman - piano (tracks 1 and 3), percussion, (track 2) * Nigel Shipway - percussion (tr ...

Decay (Sevendust Song)
"Decay" is a song by American rock band Sevendust. It's from the band's ninth studio album '' Black Out the Sun''. Recording and production The song was recorded at Architekt Music studios in Butler, New Jersey with engineer Mike Ferretti. "We were starting to get burnt and we didn't want to push it," Rose said during interview with ''Billboard'' magazine. "So we had this riff, and we said, 'Let's jam it and see if anything comes of it.' And before you know it, it became a song that ends up on the record, and everybody listens to it and they end up picking that as the single, which was pretty cool." The song was originally intended as a bonus track but the finished product was massive and became the first single. Music video The band filmed the video for the song at the end of the January, 2013, just before their tour that had started on February 2, 2013. The music video was released on March 26, 2013. The video features the band setting up shop in a rather spooky house, while t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Decay (Biohazard Song)
''Reborn in Defiance'' is the ninth studio album by American band Biohazard. It was the last album to feature founding member and vocalist/bassist Evan Seinfeld, who left the band in June 2011 shortly after the album was recorded, though he returned to the band in October 2014, and the first album since 1994's '' State of the World Address'' to feature the original recording line-up, after Bobby Hambel's return to the band in 2008.
