If the beam does not fill more than a third of the beam profiler ’ s sensor area, then there will be a significant number of pixels at the edges of the sensor that register a small baseline value ( the background value ).

If the baseline value is large or if it is not subtracted out of the image, then the computed D4σ value will be larger than the actual value because the baseline value near the edges of the sensor are weighted in the D4σ integral by x < sup > 2 </ sup >.

The baseline is easily measured by recording the average value for each pixel when the sensor is not illuminated.

If the baseline value is small or subtracted out, the knife-edge beam width always corresponds to 60 %, in the case of 20 / 80, or 80 %, in the case of 10 / 90, of the total beam power no matter what the beam profile.

The D4σ and knife-edge widths are sensitive to the baseline value, whereas the 1 / e < sup > 2 </ sup > and FWHM widths are not.

Analyzing progress compared to the baseline is known as earned value management.

" The absorbancy of a reference substance is set as a baseline value, so the absorbancies of all other substances are recorded relative to the initial " zeroed " substance.

* Pulse ( signal processing ), A rapid change in some characteristic of a signal from a baseline value to a higher or lower value, followed by a rapid return to the baseline value.

In addition, the character metrics use a specific layout where the usual baseline is not used, and the ideographic em-square is not relevant for Bliss character designs, that use additional " earth line " and " sky line " to define the composition square.

Wide separation of peaks, preferably to baseline, is desired for maximum purification.

The baseline length, that is, the Master-Slave distance, was typically 60 ~ 120 nautical miles.

: Having a CPI that is very high ( in some cases, very high is only 1. 2 ) may mean that the plan was too conservative, and thus a very high number may in fact not be good, as the CPI is being measured against a poor baseline.

Management or the customer may be upset with the planners as an overly conservative baseline ties up available funds for other purposes, and the baseline is also used for manpower planning.

where is the initial ( baseline ) level of traffic.

Carbon dioxide has a GWP of exactly 1 ( since it is the baseline unit to which all other greenhouse gases are compared ).

When interpreting the results of a test, it is important to consider the morphine usage history of the individual, since a chronic user can develop tolerance to doses that would incapacitate an opiate-naive individual, and the chronic user often has high baseline values of these metabolites in his system.

Finally, everything comes to what is a plain flat plain at the lowest elevation possible ( called " baseline ") This plain was called by Davis ' " peneplain " meaning " almost plain " Then the rejuvenation occurs and there is another mountain lift and the cycle continues.

At noon on the winter solstice the sun stands at 9 cubits and the longest day on the summer solstice is 16 hours at the baseline through Celtica.

" If a serum prolactin concentration is greater than three times the baseline when taken within one hour of syncope, then in the absence of test " modifiers ":

It is perfectly acceptable to state no conclusion, or to conclude that none of the alternatives are sufficiently better than the baseline to warrant a change.

The short mark in the center of each baseline is referred to as either the hash mark or the center mark.

There is also a " foot fault ", which occurs when a player's foot touches the baseline or an extension of the center mark before the ball is hit.

( Normally, a sea baseline follows the low-water line, but when the coastline is deeply indented, has fringing islands or is highly unstable, straight baselines may be used.

Some scholars argue that the Food Sovereignty movement follows wrong baseline assumptions ( small-scale farming is not necessarily a freely chosen life-style and farmers in least developed and highly developed countries do not face the same challenges ).

The main legal points at issue were which definition of the coastal range should be chosen as the basis of the boundary and whether the " ten marine leagues ",, should be measured from the heads of the fjords or from a baseline which would cut across the mouths of the fjords.

He was chosen to illustrate the " mid-range game ", i. e. shooting from the area around the free throw line, the paint, the wings and the baseline.

Kubbs starting the game on the baseline are referred to as base kubbs.

A baseline motor assessment establishes the starting point for developmental intervention programs.

Each season of The Biggest Loser starts with a weigh-in to determine the contestants ' starting weights, which serve as the baseline for determining the overall winner.

Services trade among ACI countries has been growing at a very rapid rate over recent years, despite starting from a relatively low baseline.

This baseline establishes the current starting point for the project ; when a developer rebases or joins a project, this is the baseline that is used as the foundation for the development ( or child ) stream, unless he specifies a different baseline to be used.

* baseline ( sea ), the starting point for delimiting a coastal state's maritime zones

* Establishing a foundation for monitoring, including ( a ) a proper tone at the top ; ( b ) an effective organizational structure that assigns monitoring roles to people with appropriate capabilities, objectivity and authority ; and ( c ) a starting point or " baseline " of known effective internal control from which ongoing monitoring and separate evaluations can be implemented ;

) For each point, the server starts behind the baseline, between the center mark and the sideline.

From a poor defensive position on the baseline, the lob can be used as either an offensive or defensive weapon, hitting the ball high and deep into the opponent's court to either enable the lobber to get into better defensive position or to win the point outright by hitting it over the opponent's head.

* Efficiency factor ( N ) practically measures how sharp component peaks on the chromatagram are, as ratio of the component peak's area relative to the width of the peaks at their widest point ( at the baseline ).

In trigonometry and geometry, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at either end of a fixed baseline, rather than measuring distances to the point directly ( trilateration ).

* Principal meridian ( PM ): A true meridian running through an initial point, which together with the baseline, form the highest level framework for all rectangular surveys in a given area.

The intersection of a township line ( or baseline ) with a range line ( or principal meridian ) constitutes a township corner, of a section line with any other type of line a section corner, and a point halfway between any two section corners a quarter corner.

In English-speaking countries, the radix point is usually a small dot,., placed either on the baseline or halfway between the baseline and the top of the numerals.

Some basic concepts such as identification and baseline ( well-defined point in the evolution of a project ) were already clear, but what was at stake was a set of techniques oriented towards the control of the activity, and using formal processes, documents, request forms, control boards etc.

* Going back to the central / baseline point after each movement.

He is consistently able to knock balls back deep on the baseline time and time again to effectively set up the point or rip return winners off second serves, but he also has the ability to block it back deep when returning a more effective serve.

QT interval in an ECG complex can be measured manually by different methods such as the threshold method, in which the end of the T wave is determined by the point at which the component of the T wave merges with the isoelectric baseline or the tangent method, in which the end of the T wave is determined by the intersection of a line extrapolated from the isoelectric baseline and the tangent line, which touches the terminal part of the T wave at the point of maximum downslope.

Each codeline can have its own custom set of development policies and can spawn new projects by using its final baseline as a jumping off point for future development.

A baseline is a line that is a base for measurement or for construction ; see datum ( calculations or comparisons ) or point of reference ( engineering or science ).

The baseline meets its corresponding meridian at the point of origin, or initial point, for the land survey.
