 Buddha's World: Tsong Kapa's Medium-Length Transcendent Insight, part 1
Since actual quiescence and insight, as will be explained, are indeed excellencies of character of one accomplished in the fruits of meditation, it is granted that all excellencies of Individual and Universal Vehicles are not their effects.
All quiescence samadhis must definitely be cleared of depression, and all samadhis free of depression definitely arrive at sharp clarity of mind.
Further, while quiescence is achieved by the practice of focusing meditation apart from analysis, there is no method to practice insight apart from the practice of quiescence.

 Stages of quiescence in reproductive development of angiosperm plants.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The stage of quiescence is established and maintained at several interconnected levels – physiological, at the level of chromatin structure, and at the level of specific genes.
Recent data show that the stages of quiescence are also controlled and/or maintained by epigenetic processes, such as DNA hypermethylation and nucleosomal histone underacetylation.
Recently, similar mechanisms as found in the seed quiescence have also been found in the maturing pollen grains and in the central zone of the apical meristem.

First, the behavioral quiescence we observed was often not accompanied by pronounced changes in limb extension, a key feature of Flanigan’s classification of substages of quiescence.
Variations of EEG spike rate during quiescence did suggest that quiescence is not homogeneous, in general agreement with Flanigan’s data (6, 8).
However, despite having observed at least two distinct substages of behavioral quiescence the present data as a whole are consistent with the interpretation that turtles have only one stage of sleep, homologous to NREM sleep.

 Sri Aurobindo, "The Synthesis of Yoga", Part II
The supreme state of quiescence is the very opposite of action and cannot be attained by those who persist in works.
There is an Essence that is in its nature a quiescence, a supreme of Silence in the Being that is beyond its own development and mutations, immutable and therefore superior to all activities of which it is at most a Witness.
Their opposites are also closely connected; for we have seen that impurity is a confusion of Dharmas, a lax, mixed and mutually entangled action of the different parts of the being; and this confusion proceeds from an absence of right concentration of its knowledge on its energies in the embodied Soul.

 Revolutionary New Tinnitus Technologies Now Available in US   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Quiescence is a tinnitus management technology that measures the pitch and intensity of tinnitus more precisely and reliably than any other product on the market.
Quiescence requires no special hardware and runs on standard desktop computers, making it easily accessible to healthcare professionals.
Quiescence allows audiologists to precisely target just the narrow band tinnitus pitch, thereby drowning it out but still allowing the broad band of sound, including speech, to be unaffected.

Cloning of murine early quiescence-1 gene: the murine counterpart of dermatopontin gene can induce and be induced by cell quiescence.
Using the method of differential display, we identified a murine gene (GenBank accession number) specifically expressed in quiescent cells, that is, BALB/c 3T3 cells rendered quiescent by serum deprivation or by contact inhibition.
These results suggest that the cell quiescence-induced EQ-1 gene can induce cell quiescence, implicating a self-driven mechanism of antiproliferation.

 St Helens' loud quiescence - Forums powered by UBBThreads™
Perhaps the recent 4 days of minor shocks has damaged the anchoring, so now the webcams wobble even in a gentle breeze.
My guess is bed rock is rarely available on the rim of Mount St. Helens, so siezmonitors are anchored to the largest peices of solid rock available so as to minimise vibration that occur within 100 feet of the seizmonitor but not generally at other locations.
Eruptions from lava domes generally are preceded by a change from high-frequency quakes -- the ones St. Helens is now experiencing that usually connote rock breaking beneath the surface -- to low-frequency events, such as undulating tremors.

For this work his long residence in the colony had rendered him exceptionally well equipped and he made very valuable additions to the sum of human knowledge concerning the fauna, especially the bird life, of that portion of the tropics.
The main object of his first journey was to collect as large a quantity as possible of the deadly "wourali" poison, which induces immediate and profound quiescence, and would therefore, it was hoped, prove a specific against the tetanus of hydrophobia.
That result has not been attained; however, Waterton's experiments with the poison proved that its deadly effects could be neutralized by keeping up artificial respiration during the period of its activity.

The foundation of the Tibetan Buddhist science of consciousness was laid by Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), acclaimed by some as the Martin Luther, and by others as the Thomas Aquinas, of Tibetan Buddhism.
"The Bridge of Quiescence" gives a readable account of Tsongkhapa's thought, and includes an original translation (with detailed commentary) of Tsongkhapa's presentation of techniques for developing exceptionally high degrees of attentional stability and clarity.
According to Tsongkhapa, enchancement and refining of one's attention is an indispensable prerequisite to fruitful introspective inquiry into the nature of the mind and of consciousness itself.

 AN ULTRAVIOLET SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF THE WHITE DWARF IN U GEMINORUM DURING QUIESCENCE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
During quiescence the photospheric radiation of the exposed white dwarf dominates the ultraviolet (Kiplinger, Sion and Szkody 1991,ApJ,366,569; Long et al.1993,ApJ,405,327).
The variations in absorption line strengths and continuum flux levels are analyzed as a function of both orbital phase and time of observation since the return to optical quiescence, by fitting the IUE spectra with a grid of high gravity, LTE, model atmospheres with solar composition (and fractional composition thereof)constructed with I. Hubeny's TLUSTY code.
Spectroscopic changes of the white dwarf associated with the accretion process are compared with theoretical simulations of disk accretion and implications are discussed.
