The gradual loss of color of a paint film due to a chemical or physical change Usually due to pigment degradation by the ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight
Variation in the field strength or other properties of a received radio wave signal as a result of changes in the electromagnetic field propagation characteristic of the transmission path with time
Fading describes rapid changes in a radio signals amplitude over a short period of time or travel distance Fading is a result of multipath In fact, it is caused by interference between multiple replicas of the transmitted signal
The reduction in signal intensity of one or several of the components of a radio signal, typically caused by the reflective or refractive effects of multi-path
A technique of cognitive apprenticeship whereby the instructor gradually withdraws support and transfers full control of a performance to the learner (Wilson)
Loss of color caused by sunlight or artificial light, atmospheric gases including ozone, nitrogen dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, cleaning and bleaching chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, and other household and industrial products Commercial installations in areas where such exposures occur require care in selection of colorfast carpet
A technique for errorless learning whereby the teacher cues the child with multiple stimuli to make the correct response Gradually, the number of cues are reduced, or "faded," until only one stimulus comes to exert control over the responding
