undertake economic studies and surveys to determine present and prospective costs of producing water for beneficial consumptive purposes in various parts of the United States by the leading saline water processes as compared with other standard methods.

The estimated standard deviations of the data for two of the resistors were 1 millidegree ; ;

As a first step toward this goal, arrangements were worked out for comparing the scales now in use through circulation of a group of standard platinum resistance thermometers for calibration by each national laboratory.

Perhaps the outstanding standard bearer of Mr. Brown's tradition for accuracy was Mr. Oscar J. Beale, whose mechanical genius closely paralleled that of Mr. Brown, and whose particular forte was the development of the exceedingly accurate measuring machinery that enabled Brown & Sharpe to manufacture gages, and therefore its products, with an accuracy exceeding anything then available elsewhere in the world.

Another growth factor is increased consumer demand for better quality and larger quantities of fabrics that go with a rising standard of living.

Any alteration of one of these factors is distortion, although we generally use that word only for effects so pronounced that they can be stated quantitatively on the basis of standard tests.

The symbol for subtraction is the standard minus sign.

Of these, 376 said they make no extra charge for strapping in standard units, because they save enough on mechanized carloading to offset their strapping cost.

Lumber dealers and lumber manufacturers have agreed on a standard unit for unitized shipments -- 48'' '' wide by a nominal 30'' '' high ( or six McCracken packets 24'' '' wide by nominal 7'' '' high ).

Harris has indicated that two devices, the Launder-Ometer and Terg-O-Tometer are most widely used for rapid detergent testing, and he has listed the commercially available standard soiled fabrics.

The MIDI standard allows selection of 128 different programs, but devices can provide more by arranging their patches into banks of 128 programs each, and combining a program change message with a bank select message.

Some composers may take advantage of MIDI 1. 0 and General MIDI ( GM ) technology to allow musical data files to be shared among various electronic instruments by using a standard, portable set of commands and parameters.

It allows recorded MIDI to be manipulated using standard computer editing features such as cut, copy and paste and drag and drop.

Some computer sound cards include a standard MIDI connector, whereas others connect by any of various means that include the D-subminiature DA-15 game port, USB, FireWire, Ethernet or a proprietary connection.

This was seen as a limitation by composers who were not interested in keyboard-based music, but the standard proved flexible, and MIDI compatibility was introduced to other types of controllers, including wind instruments and drum machines.

Other systems, such as Roland's MIDI pickups, are included with or can be retrofitted to a standard instrument.

System Exclusive ( SysEx ) messages are a major reason for the flexibility and longevity of the MIDI standard.

They allow manufacturers to create proprietary messages which provide control over their equipment in a way that is more thorough than is provided for by standard MIDI messages.

SysEx messages may include functionality beyond what the MIDI standard provides.

The General MIDI ( GM ) standard was established in 1991, and provides a standardized sound bank that allows a Standard MIDI File created on one device to sound similar when played back on another.

MIDI Time Code ( MTC ), developed by Digidesign, implements SysEx messages that have been developed specifically for timing purposes, and is able to translate to and from the SMPTE time code standard.

Testing has shown MIDI over USB to perform slightly slower than MIDI over a standard connection, and with higher latency.

The transmission speed of USB is over 15, 000 times faster than that of MIDI ( 480, 000 kbit / s vs 31. 25 kbit / s ), but the rate at which USB retrieves messages is 1ms, the same time necessary to transmit a MIDI message over a standard link.

As with standard MIDI devices, FireWire devices can communicate with each other with no computer present, unlike USB devices, which require a host computer.

This allowed the use of standard low-impedance microphone cables as MIDI cables.

MIDI interfaces intended for use as the centerpiece of a studio, such as the Mark of the Unicorn MIDI Time Piece, were made possible by a " fast " transmission mode that could take advantage of these serial ports ' ability to operate at 20 times the standard MIDI speed.

This new standard is intended to support higher-speed transports than MIDI 1. 0, and to allow device discovery and enumeration and provide greater data range and resolution.

MIDI time code ( MTC ), or MIDI time division, embeds the same timing information as standard SMPTE timecode as a series of small ' quarter-frame ' MIDI messages.

With the advent of recorded music and radio, " Amazing Grace " began to cross over from primarily a gospel standard to secular audiences.

One common replacement for LocalTalk was PhoneNet, a 3rd party solution ( from a company called Farallon, now called Netopia ) that also used the RS-422 port and was indistinguishable from LocalTalk as far as Apple's LocalTalk port drivers were concerned, but ran over the two unused wires in standard four-wire phone cabling.

The mean and maximal doses used for olanzapine were considerably higher than standard practice, and this has been postulated as a biasing factor that may explain olanzapine's superior efficacy over the other atypical antipsychotics studied, where doses were more in line with clinically relevant practices.

9, 600 was not even established as a strong standard before 14. 4 kbit / s took over.

Bluetooth is a proprietary open wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances ( using short-wavelength radio transmissions in the ISM band from 2400 – 2480 MHz ) from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks ( PANs ) with high levels of security.

The standard theological view of world history at the time was known as the six ages of the world ; in his book, Bede calculated the age of the world for himself, rather than accepting the authority of Isidore of Seville, and came to the conclusion that Christ had been born 3, 952 years after the creation of the world, rather than the figure of over 5, 000 years that was commonly accepted by theologians.

A PAS is a sponsored piece of work allowing organizations flexibility in the rapid creation of a standard while also allowing for a greater degree of control over the document's development.

As the number of rounds increases, eventually, the expected loss will exceed the standard deviation, many times over.

While the standard rules allow hopping over only a single adjacent occupied position at a time ( as in checkers ), this version of the game allows pieces to catapult over multiple adjacent occupied positions in a line when hopping.

For example, raw uncompressed PCM audio ( 44. 1 kHz, 16 bit stereo, as represented on an audio CD or in a. wav or. aiff file ) has long been a standard across multiple platforms, but its transmission over networks is slow and expensive compared with more modern compressed formats, such as MP3.

; Level 3-Defined: It is characteristic of processes at this level that there are sets of defined and documented standard processes established and subject to some degree of improvement over time.

At the end of 2006, BT ( the UK's former state owned monopoly phone company ) started offering BT Vision, which combines the digital free-to-air standard Freeview through an aerial, and on-demand IPTV, delivered over a BT Broadband connection through the Vision set-top box ( BT have chosen to deploy Microsoft's Mediaroom platform for this.

The age group Open is so called because divers of any age, including those over 18, may compete in these events, so long as their dives meet a minimum standard of difficulty.

It is accepted, however, that there is an " enormous " range of reliability findings in studies, and that validity is unclear because, given the lack of diagnostic laboratory or neuroimaging tests, standard clinical interviews are " inherently limited " and only a (" flawed ") " best estimate diagnosis " is possible even with full assessment of all data over time.

In business, DECT has become an essential part of many PABX installations with manufacturer's proprietary methods of supporting PABX features over the DECT standard.

This too will become obsolete over the coming years as Q. 931, a European standard, becomes widely adopted in the EU.

Such secondary realizations were used and described as ' ET ', with an awareness that the time scales based on the atomic clocks were not identical to that defined by the primary ephemeris time standard, but rather, an improvement over it on account of their closer approximation to uniformity.

These models afford advantages over classical test theory, including the capacity to produce standard errors of measurement for each score or pattern of scores on assessments and the capacity to handle missing responses.

Controversy over the licensing agreement between the patent holder, Unisys, and CompuServe in 1994 spurred the development of the Portable Network Graphics ( PNG ) standard.

While this does not lessen the actual value of a currency, it is called redenomination or revaluation and also happens over time in countries with standard inflation levels.

Greenland is the world's largest island with an area of over 2. 1 million km², while Australia, the world's smallest continent has an area of 7. 6 million km², but there is no standard of size which distinguishes islands from continents, or from islets.
