Radiance
In radiometry, radiance is the radiant flux emitted, reflected, transmitted or received by a given surface, per unit solid angle per unit projected area. Radiance is used to characterize diffuse emission and reflection of electromagnetic radiation, and to quantify emission of neutrinos and other particles. The SI unit of radiance is the watt per steradian per square metre (). It is a ''directional'' quantity: the radiance of a surface depends on the direction from which it is being observed. The related quantity spectral radiance is the radiance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength, depending on whether the spectrum is taken as a function of frequency or of wavelength. Historically, radiance was called "intensity" and spectral radiance was called "specific intensity". Many fields still use this nomenclature. It is especially dominant in heat transfer, astrophysics and astronomy. "Intensity" has many other meanings in physics, with the most common being power per unit ar ...

At Cannes it won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury. Plot Masako (Ayame Misaki) creates movie audio descriptions. Her passion and her commitment to her work leads her to create scripts full of colors and textures in order to make them as accessible as possible to blind audiences. She tests it on a group of 10 blind people. At one of the pre-premiere screenings, she meets Masaya (Masatoshi Nagase), a renowned photographer who gradually loses his sight and ability to practice his craft.

Radiance (album)
''Radiance'' is a double-album by American pianist Keith Jarrett recorded in 2002 in Japan at two different concerts: Osaka (October 27) and Tokyo (October 30). It was released by ECM Records in 2005. And in April 2006, a video recording of the live performance at Tokyo concert was released as ''Tokyo Solo''. After dismissing the idea of performing lengthy improvised solos (see '' A Multitude of Angels''), ''Radiance'' marked a new beginning in Jarrett's approach to solo piano concerts and this would be assessed in future solo recordings. According to ''keithjarrett.org'', the documented 2002 Osaka and Tokyo concerts were ''only'' his third and fourth solo performances since temporarily retiring due to chronic fatigue syndrome; the other two had taken place in Tokyo in September 1999.''keithjarrett.org'Keith Jarrett past concerts 2002accessed May 2020 Original notes On the double-CD original notes, "Some Words About The Music", Keith Jarrett states that: Reception The AllMu ...
