Still, the data are puzzlingly inconsistent with theoretical expectations, and some drastic revisions in theory may be needed.
The discovery fulfills theoretical expectations that planetary systems should also have some kind of debris disk.
Comparing the experimental spectrum to the modeled spectrum, the experimental results are in agreement with theoretical expectations (Figure 5).
In some areas, the nantenna had a lower emissivity than the theoretical expectations, but in other areas, namely at around 3.5 m, the device absorbed more light than expected.
"In cases of enormously delicate measurements involving strong theoretical expectations," he said, "often scientists may stop looking for background effects when they get the result they are expecting."
A recent study more extensively studies the collision rate finding that the experimental collision rate is in agreement with the theoretical expectations.
The results defied theoretical expectations in several ways.
The real fun may start, however, if we see something that doesn't match up well with any theoretical expectations.
In an analysis of the subject by Norris (1995), however, British party elites were found on average to be more ideologically motivated than both the middle-elite and the non-elite, contrary to theoretical expectations.
Deviations from theoretical expectation can be assumed under the Coefficient of Discharge.
