A tragedy, by his definition, is an imitation of an action that is serious, of a certain magnitude, and complete in itself.

But if any realism and feeling for truth remain in the General Assembly, it is time for men of courage to measure the magnitude of the failure and urge some new approach.

These estimates indicated that the quantum yield for the exchange of chlorine with liquid carbon tetrachloride at 65-degrees is of the order of magnitude of unity.

It is assumed that the flux values increase by a factor of 2.512 per magnitude, in accordance with the opinion that the total mass flux in each unit range in magnitude is constant.

Note that the mass scale is one to two orders of magnitude greater than some previously used ; ;

But in general the individual variation is a small thing added onto basic linguistic features of greater magnitude.

However, it is not known to either the union or the public precisely how much of a cost increase is caused by a given change in the basic wage rate, although the companies are presumed to have reliable estimates of this magnitude.

Because of undesirable flavors, odors, colors, and generally low palatability associated with radiation treatment of this magnitude, the inactivation of enzymes is best accomplished prior to irradiation by the conventional heat-processing methods of blanching.

It is difficult to measure the direction and magnitude of R directly.

This is not a constant value like Af, but varies with the thickness of the coating and the direction and magnitude of the resultants R and Af of Fig. 6.

Later experiments are often designed to test a hypothesis that a treatment effect has an important magnitude ; in this case, the number of experimental units is chosen so that the experiment is within budget and has adequate power, among other goals.

For example Connecticut applies the following standard to review unpreserved claims: 1. the record is adequate to review the alleged claim of error ; 2. the claim is of constitutional magnitude alleging the violation of a fundamental right ; 3. the alleged constitutional violation clearly exists and clearly deprived the defendant of a fair trial ; 4. if subject to harmless error analysis, the state has failed to demonstrate harmlessness of the alleged constitutional violation beyond a reasonable doubt.

Because the range of possible values for K < sub > a </ sub > spans many orders of magnitude, a more manageable constant, pK < sub > a </ sub > is more frequently used, where pK < sub > a </ sub >

The absolute value is closely related to the notions of magnitude, distance, and norm in various mathematical and physical contexts.

The smallest sound that a person can hear, known as the threshold of hearing, is nine orders of magnitude smaller than the ambient pressure.

It is, however, still orders of magnitude lower than the highest grade sapphires or rubies ( padparadscha sapphire or " pigeon's blood " ruby ).

* 1959 – Quake Lake is formed by the magnitude 7. 5 1959 Yellowstone earthquake near Hebgen Lake in Montana.

* α Antliae is the constellation's brightest star at magnitude 4. 25.

The absolute magnitude is then equivalent to the apparent magnitude an object would have if it were at a standard luminosity distance ( 10 parsecs ) away from the observer, in the absence of astronomical extinction.

For galaxies ( which are of course themselves much larger than 10 parsecs, and whose overall brightness cannot be directly observed from relatively short distances ) the absolute magnitude is defined by reference to the apparent brightness of a point-like or star-like source of the same total luminosity as the galaxy, as it would appear if observed at the standard 10 parsecs distance.

The lower ( more negative ) an object's absolute magnitude, the higher its luminosity.

One can compute the absolute magnitude of an object given its apparent magnitude and luminosity distance:

* Hertzsprung – Russell diagram – Relates absolute magnitude or luminosity versus spectral color or surface temperature.

At magnitude 5. 5, it is only 1 / 370th as bright visually as Antares A, although it shines with 170 times the Sun's luminosity.

The ratio of M to R increases by a factor of only three over 2. 5 orders of magnitude of M. This relation is roughly proportional to the star's inner temperature T < sub > I </ sub >, and its extremely slow increase reflects the fact that the rate of energy generation in the core strongly depends on this temperature, while it has to fit the mass – luminosity relation.

However, observations do not seem to support this picture: long-time lowest-mass X-ray detection, VB 8 ( M7e V ), has shown steady emission at levels of X-ray luminosity ( L < sub > X </ sub >) ≈ 10 < sup > 26 </ sup > erg · s < sup >− 1 </ sup > ( 10 < sup > 19 </ sup > W ) and flares up to an order of magnitude higher.

Altair's total X-ray luminosity is at least an order of magnitude larger than the X-ray luminosity for Vega.

A star is classified as variable if its apparent magnitude as seen from Earth changes over time, whether the changes are due to variations in the star's actual luminosity, or to variations in the amount of the star's light that is blocked from reaching Earth.

They exhibit fluctuations in their brightness in the order of 0. 7 magnitude ( about 100 % change in luminosity ) or so every 1 to 2 hours.

** Absolute magnitude, the brightness of a celestial object corrected to a standard luminosity distance

One part of this work is the Hubble luminosity law for reflection nebulae which make a relationship between the angular size ( R ) of the nebula and the apparent magnitude ( m ) of the associated star:

However, even at that time the anomalously low luminosity ( the absolute magnitude would have been 18. 5 ) and high uncertainty in the parallax suggested that it was in fact somewhat farther away, still one of the Sun's nearest neighbors but not nearly as high in the ranking in order of distance.

The star, designated M31-RV, reached the absolute bolometric magnitude of − 9. 95 at maximum ( corresponding a luminosity of 0. 75 million times solar ) before dimming beyond detectability.

In the visible band, luminosity level is around the 22nd magnitude per square-arcsecond: a very low level, but anyway well within the limits of the current generation of telescopes.

If lenticular galaxies are an evolved stage of spiral galaxies then they should have a similar Tully-Fisher relation with spirals, but with an offset in the luminosity / absolute magnitude axis.

The total luminosity of M14 is in the order of 400, 000 times that of the Sun corresponding to an absolute magnitude of-9. 12.

In two dimensions the position vector which has magnitude ( length ) and directed at an angle above the x-axis can be expressed in Cartesian coordinates using the unit vectors and:

The direction and magnitude of such distortion is expressed in terms of a Burgers vector ( b ).

where the angular rotation of the frame is expressed by the vector Ω pointing in the direction of the axis of rotation, and with magnitude equal to the angular rate of rotation Ω, symbol × denotes the vector cross product, vector x < sub > B </ sub > locates the body and vector v < sub > B </ sub > is the velocity of the body according to a rotating observer ( different from the velocity seen by the inertial observer ).

The order of magnitude of a physical quantity is its magnitude in powers of ten when that physical quantity is expressed in powers of ten with one digit to the left of decimal.

The first law was published in 1774 and stated that the frequency of an error could be expressed as an exponential function of the numerical magnitude of the error, disregarding sign.

The magnitude of the distortion is expressed as a percentage of an ideal pulse length.

Return loss is identical to the magnitude of Γ when expressed in decibels but of opposite sign.

Each value of the function is usually expressed as a complex number ( called complex amplitude ) that can be interpreted as a magnitude and a phase component.

Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov, in particular, expressed his gratitude for and dedication to Peter's legacy in his unfinished Peter the Great, Lomonosov's works often focused on themes of the awe-inspiring, grandeur nature, and was therefore drawn to Peter because of the magnitude of his military, architectural, and cultural feats.

The magnitude axis of the Bode plot is usually expressed as decibels of power, that is by the 20 log rule: 20 times the common ( base 10 ) logarithm of the amplitude gain.

These are essentially more luminous versions of Seyfert 1s: the distinction is arbitrary and is usually expressed in terms of a limiting optical magnitude.

The multiplication of two complex numbers can be expressed most easily in polar coordinates – the magnitude or modulus of the product is the product of the two absolute values, or moduli, and the angle or argument of the product is the sum of the two angles, or arguments.

" In magnitude, a nat is apparently identical to Boltzmann's constant k or the ideal gas constant R, although these particular quantities are usually reserved to measure physical information that happens to be entropy, and that are expressed in physical units such as joules per kelvin, or kilocalories per mole-kelvin.

When he first saw, he was so far from making any judgment of distances, that he thought all object whatever touched his eyes ( as he expressed it ) as what he felt did his skin, and thought no object so agreeable as those which were smooth and regular, though he could form no judgment of their shape, or guess what it was in any object that was pleasing to him: he knew not the shape of anything, nor any one thing from another, however different in shape or magnitude ; but upon being told what things were, whose form he knew before from feeling, he would carefully observe, that he might know them again ;

However, this medium level at which the spectator can sympathize depends on what " passion " or emotion is being expressed ; with some emotions even the most justified expression of cannot be tolerated at a high level of fervor, at others sympathy in the spectator is not bounded by magnitude of expression even though the emotion is not as well justified.

In a rebuttal paper, Hameroff asserts that the quantum processing power required for consciousness is an order of magnitude greater than can be expressed through conventional systems of processing measurement.

Amazed by the warm reception he received from the fans in New Orleans as well as the magnitude of the devastation caused there by Hurricane Katrina, Bush expressed excitement about playing with the Saints and pledged to help the city recover from the hurricane.
