	The Estimates of the Characteristic Function of the Probability Distribution for Rainfall in San Jose, California
		As explained in the reading on characteristic functions the characteristic function for a distribution is the expected value of exp(izω).
		The computation of the components of the characteristic function is based upon the midpoints of the ranges for the histogram.
		The maximum value for which the estimates of the characteristic function based upon the midpoints of the intervals used is probably lower than 16 as was assumed.

	Crimes' Criminalistics Characteristic
		It should be noted that the term “criminalistical characteristic of crimes” as to the subject of methods of investigating crimes appears in the theoretical, methodical and educational literature on criminalistics (3, 95).
		Criminological characteristic of, for example, a theft of state and private property includes such main data as: a) condition of a fighting against thefts; b) classification of thefts; c) classification of criminals, characteristic of some types of thieves and their actions.
		Criminalistical characteristic of a crime unlike criminal-legal one is a component of a general understanding of a crime and bears auxiliary specific official character.

		Example: Alkylphenol ethoxylates--biodegrade under anaerobic conditions to alkylphenols, which persist in the environment, have high toxicity to aquatic organisms, and may be endocrine disruptors (compounds that adversely affect the endocrine system that controls metabolism, reproduction, and growth).
		Key Characteristic of Concern: Potential to cause eutrophication in fresh water (eutrophication is the process by which a body of water becomes rich in dissolved nutrients, diminishing oxygen levels and a water body's ability to support various forms of aquatic life).
		Key characteristics of concern: Highly caustic or acidic wash environments; may cause severe irritation or burns to living tissue in humans or aquatic organisms.

	Characteristic Specification
		The set of characteristics and corresponding expressions for a style object is determined in a similar manner during the evaluation of the style-expression.
		The expression specifying the value of a characteristic in a make-expression or style-expression shall not be evaluated immediately; instead the expression shall be associated with the characteristic in the created flow object or style object.
		The value of a characteristic for a flow object is determined by evaluating the expression specifying that characteristic with both the value flow object and the specification flow object equal to that flow object.

	The Characteristic Function of a Probability Distribution
		The expected value of the function exp(iωz) is called the characteristic function for the probability distribution p(z), where ω is parameter that can have any real value and i is the square root of -1.
		The crucial property of characteristic functions is that the characteristic function of the sum of two independent random variables is the product of those variables' characteristic functions.
		The connection between the moments of a probability distribution and its characteristic function is seen from taking the derivaative of the characteristic function with respect to the parameter ω.

	Loudspeaker Cable Characteristic Impedance
		At DC, the characteristic impedance of all cables is infinite (for all intents and purposes), and the rated impedance is usually not reached until the signal frequency is well above the audio band - typically around 100kHz or more, depending on the cable's construction and length.
		The characteristic impedance of a cable (Zo) is a complex function of the diameter (or dimensions if other than round) of the conductors, their relative spacing, and the insulation material.
		In order to obtain a low characteristic impedance, it is necessary to have very low inductance and relatively high capacitance, and the high capacitance may impose serious constraints on the amplifier.

	Gravity & radiation pressure: Characteristic radiation
		Characteristic x-radiation results when the interaction is sufficiently violent to ionize the target atom, by the total removal of the inner-shell electron.
		Photons of this sort have energies that are, of course, characteristic of the anode material, and are emitted from the atom with equal probability in all directions.
		In summary, characteristic x-rays are produced by transitions of orbital electrons from outer to inner shells.

	Characteristic (algebra) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The characteristic of the ring R may be equivalently defined as the unique natural number n such that nZ is the kernel of the unique ring homomorphism from Z to R which sends 1 to 1
		And yet another equivalent definition: the characteristic of R is the unique natural number n such that R contains a subring isomorphic to the factor ring Z/nZ.
		Fields of characteristic zero have the most familiar properties; for practical purposes they resemble subfields of the complex numbers (unless they have very large cardinality, that is).

	Custom Characteristic Issue - HERO GAMES Discussion Boards
		If you have a level-based ability (such as this custom characteristic) which is set to cost END, but don't purchase any levels in it, the end cost is 0.
		If you go to the Powers tab and select your custom characteristic and just click on the Add Modifiers button, you won't see Reduced END on the available list because the ability (as defined) does not require any END to use.
		Either purchase some levels in the characteristic or check off the "Apply Modifiers to base Characteristic" option (assuming that the base characteristic has levels in it) before assigning Modifiers.
