From theCambridge English Corpus
In our sample, the distribution of optimum predicted wavelengths ofpeaksensitivityincludes a cluster.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Their model allows each pigment's wavelength ofpeaksensitivityand optical density to be varied.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The values ofpeaksensitivityand scale were extracted from the resulting fits.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Model parameters included the wavelength ofpeaksensitivityof cone photopigments, the effective photopigment optical density, and the noise amplitude in the red-green color channel.
From theCambridge English Corpus
