	R. Parker --- Aeroacoustics
		The acoustic mode of each resonance was explored with a probe microphone which disclosed that the wavelength along the cascade at each frequency corresponded to an effective acoustic velocity less than the "velocity of sound" and the amplitudes decreased progressively with distance upstream and downstream of the cascade.
		There have been a number of theoretical papers on straight cascades but, where the blade stagger is not zero, correlation with experiment is generally not good, mainly because incorrect assumptions are made as regards the configuration of the nodes upstream and downstream of the cascade.
		This technique has been tested for a cascade of uncambered thin blades at zero stagger with the acoustic pressure (or velocity potential) represented as complex numbers but the results have not been published and, as far as is known, the method has not been developed for real cascades.

	Patent 4160953: Self-oscillation mixer circuits
		2 is of a so-called cascade circuit configuration in which the first transistor 1 is employed in a common base connection with the second transistor 9 in a common base connection while the collector of the former is connected in cascade to the emitter of the latter.
		The local oscillation frequency is essentially determined by the resonance frequency of the resonance circuitry constituted by the resonance capacitor 11 and the resonance coil 12.
		The resonance capacitor for determining the local oscillation frequency is denoted by numeral 11, while 12 designates a coil which is connected to function as the resonance coil and at the same time as the feedback coil, thus providing the possibility of the number of circuit elements being decreased.

		Resonance is the condition that occurs when a machine component is caused to vibrate at it's natural frequency.
		The resonance tests listed in the introductory section of this text were used to measure the resonance frequency of a simple single-mass test rotor system.
		A Cascade plot consists of a series of spectrum plots taken while the rotor RPM is varied, usually during a machine coastdown or start-up.

		As the resonant frequencies are fixed, patches using a resonant filterbank are mostly limited to a two to three octave range, outside this range the effect of the resonant filterbank decreases.
		On the upward transient of the squarewave the filter is exited at a higher resonant frequency and on the downward transient its exited at a lower resonant frequency.
		Resonant filterbanks are used to create the percussion sounds, the first patch features a hihat and a bassdrum, the second patch the same hihat and a cowbell.

	The Lambda Incident
		Although the dampening fields had failed to prevent the resonance cascade it was hoped that if the fields were re-initialised they could absorb the rift’s displacement energy and cause a resonance reversal, sealing the dimensional breach.
		The resonance cascade had ended so the only explanation was that the sentient Xen beings were purposely holding the rift open – the only possible explanation was that not all of the aliens were here by accident, and this was an actual invasion.
		For the beacon to cause a resonance reversal, its displacement field would have to be correctly calibrated to neutralise the one within the dimensional rift, but unfortunately the advanced sensor equipment in the Lambda Complex could not scan the rift because it was too close to the anomaly.

		Since these resonances were not yet successfully measured, the rates had to be based on estimated resonance strengths.
		The width of the shaded bands in the upper panel represent the uncertainty in the contribution of the 470 and 566 keV resonances.
		In this calculation, the above mentioned resonance strength has been considered for the contribution of the 470 keV resonance and the uncertainty is represented by the shaded area in the upper panel of the figure.

	Half-Life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The game's protagonist is the theoretical physicist Gordon Freeman, a survivor (and catalyst) of an experiment that goes horribly awry when an unexpected resonance cascade rips dimensional seams that allow aliens from another world - known as Xen - to invade Earth.
		As Freeman tries to escape the ruined facility whilst fighting off aliens, he soon discovers he is caught between two sides: the hostile aliens, and the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit, a military force dispatched to cover up the incident—including eliminating Freeman and the rest of the scientists.
		The importance of these sequences ranges from major plot points such as the resonance cascade, to humorous moments (usually involving the accidental death of cowering scientists), and to "dialogue" that provides instructions to the player.

	7-hours War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An alien race known as the Combine was attracted to Earth by massive "portal storms" created in the wake of the resonance cascade in the original Half-Life.
		Also, some have guessed that the Combine had actually conquered the Xen race prior to the resonance cascade that Gordon Freeman initiated.
		He staged the resonance cascade and the Combine used the portal storms to come to Earth and enslave the population.

		Let the strong coupling laser be resonant with the 3-2 transition, while the 1-2 transition is connected by a weak probe field whose frequency can be varied.
		When both fields are on resonance, the fluorescence from level 2 is virtually quenched in steady state if the 3-1 spontaneous decay rate and dephasing are sufficiently small.
		If the probe frequency is moved away from resonance in both directions, the fluorescence signal increases (a symptom of the decreasing role played by quantum interference), reaches a maximum, and then begins to decrease, as the probe field becomes too detuned to affect the atom or molecule appreciably.

		A laser requires a laser cavity (or laser resonator), in which the laser radiation can circulate and pass a gain medium which compensates the cavity losses.
		A simple scheme for laser cooling is Doppler cooling, where light forces are exerted by absorption and subsequent spontaneous emission of photons, and the rate of these processes depends on the velocity of an atom or ion due to the Doppler shift.
		Nearly all electrically pumped semiconductor lasers are laser diodes; quantum cascade lasers are an exception.

		I was told one story where the EEG spectra of a healer and a doctor's wife with a dangerous growth, became perfectly symmetric at the moment when she wept in the embrace of the healers field, and the growth visibly melted.
		I would like to suggest that this harmonic ordering visible in the EKG power spectra, is resonance coherence by virtue of the length of averaging time in the data sampling during which these harmonic resonances were stable or phase locked.
		The Earth's "Schumann" prox 8 hertz heartbeat magnetic resonance, may not only be a harmonic phase lock predictive of Earthquakes, it may be a resonator affected by group coherent heart fields.

	Paper 146 Abstract
		The quantum cascade laser is a new mid-infrared laser, based on unipolar transitions of electrons between energy levels created by quantum confinement.
		Secondly, the relaxation rate of intersubband resonance, which is mainly due to transverse intrasubband scattering processes, is strongly dependent on the electron kinetic energy.
		Hot-carrier effects are therefore indispensable for the correct physical understanding of the temperature behavior of quantum cascade lasers.

		When the resonance cascade occurred, all of the power cells and experiments exploded, destroying most of her lab and killing her colleagues.
		When the cascade happened, a glitch in it's control program mistook the situation for a testing scenario.
		Shortly after its activation, it realized that the situation was real, and not a test, it then began writing its own programming and has reached a level of complexity and intelligence that it can be classified as a living sentient being.

		First of all, it's pretty clear that the powers that were in the Black Mesa Research Facility wanted the resonance cascade to occur.
		When Freeman pushed the sample into the beam, it triggered a resonance cascade, causing the two dimensions (Xen and Earth) to merge, effectively bringing Xen lifeforms into the complex.
		This rift was later closed by Dr. Keller, who managed to trigger a resonance reversal, effectively closing the gateway between Xen and Earth.

		Since virtually all kinds of proteins can be studied by SPR, the binding parameters for interactions in an entire G protein pathway could be obtained by one technique and thus discrepancies between constants obtained by different methods could be avoided.
		We chose the phototransduction cascade because it is well characterized at the physiologic level and the proteins are readily available.
		In the course of these studies, we found that in addition to kinetic measurements, SPR is very useful for the studies of regulation of protein-protein interactions by low molecular weight compounds and for structure-function analysis.
