4 days ago · Lower-level procedural textures such as Perturbing, Noise, and Waves allow the design of complex new procedural textures. The high-level textures (Wood, Marble, etc.) are made by combining lower-level components.
3 days ago · But they do define an “instantaneous” Keplerian orbit called an osculating orbit (meaning a touching orbit), which is illustrated in Fig. 2.1. If the perturbing force is removed, the orbit has the orbital elements at that instant in time. For unperturbed two-body motion, there are no perturbing forces.

Some definitions restrict torture to acts carried out by the state, while others include non-state organizations.

3 days ago · Our study shows for the first time the marked effect of the intensely debated, recent (<5 Ma) Nazca ridge subduction in perturbing the thermal structure of the overriding South American crust. The thermal model conducted in this study was also instrumental in subsequent finite element modelling, as temperature controls effective viscosity in the FEM and, hence, have a significant impact on modelled rheology.
