"Having already made the fundamental transition with a salary cap, something that Mr. Goodenow did not agree to until too late, we're negotiating on a very different platform."
The energy levels involved in difference bands are the same as those involved in fundamental transitions.
We are somewhere around mid-stream in a very fundamental transition of the old smokestack-oriented economy to the new post-industrial, information-based economy.
"This is a fundamental transition," he said.
And yet he knew that, much as he had hoped the night before, some fundamental transition had begun for him.
Because anharmonicity decreases the spacing between adjacent vibrational levels, hot bands exhibit red shifts (appear at lower frequencies) than the corresponding fundamental transitions.
The majority of what we ship is Intel proprietary products aimed to serve a fundamental structural transition in the data processing marketplace - the shift to 32-bit computing.
Since the electric dipole moment of these molecules is zero, the fundamental vibrational transition is electric-dipole-forbidden.
The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung called the operation "a fundamental transition out of the defensive and into the offensive."
It results in much-increased intensity of fundamental and overtone transitions as the vibrations "steal" intensity from an allowed electronic transition.
