To elaborate, in trying to find the length of a wavy non-fractal curve, one could find straight segments of some measuring tool small enough to lay end to end over the waves, where the pieces could get small enough to be considered to conform to the curve in the normal manner of measuring with a tape measure.

In terms of that notion, the fractal dimension of a coastline quantifies how the number of scaled measuring sticks required to measure the coastline changes with the scale applied to the stick.

This means the " DC resistance " V / I at some point on the curve is not the same as what would be determined by applying an AC signal having peak amplitude ΔV volts or ΔI amps centered at that same point along the curve and measuring ΔV / ΔI.

According to the relational interpretation of quantum mechanics, first proposed by Carlo Rovelli, observations such as those in the double-slit experiment result specifically from the interaction between the observer ( measuring device ) and the object being observed ( physically interacted with ), not any absolute property possessed by the object.

Later, Enrico befriended another scientifically inclined student named Enrico Persico, and the two worked together on scientific projects such as building gyroscopes and measuring the Earth's magnetic field.

Mathematicians thus accepted his belief that geometry should use no tools but compass and straightedge – never measuring instruments such as a marked ruler or a protractor, because these were a workman ’ s tools, not worthy of a scholar.

Other sources of scrap lead, such as recovered bullets, lead cable sheathing, lead pipe, or even lead – acid battery plates, ( EXTREME caution should be used as modern battery components, when melted can yield hazardous, even deadly gases ) can yield usable lead with some degree of effort, including purification and measuring of hardness.

At first, one views management functionally, such as measuring quantity, adjusting plans, meeting goals.

When measuring liquid pressure, a loop filled with gas or a light fluid can isolate the liquids to prevent them from mixing but this can be unnecessary, for example when mercury is used as the manometer fluid to measure differential pressure of a fluid such as water.

This nominal fee covers the costs of providing the service, such as purchase and maintenance of supplies and equipment like dosing cups and precision measuring devices, supply costs involved in transporting a highly regulated drug from supplier to the pharmacy, extensive record-keeping as per government requirements, and compensation to the pharmacy staff for the time involved in preparing for and dosing a client ( none of which are funded by the Federal government ).

Within a cubic metre of water placed right outside a nuclear reactor, only relatively few such interactions can be recorded, but the setup is now used for measuring the reactor's plutonium production rate.

Conservatives like the idea of measuring outputs rather than inputs ( such as money spent or number of hours of lecture given ) and insisting that student demonstrate learning rather than just showing up.

Primary pH standard values are determined using a concentration cell with transference, by measuring the potential difference between a hydrogen electrode and a standard electrode such as the silver chloride electrode.

The age of such materials can be estimated by measuring the amount of radioactive carbon they contain in a process called radiocarbon dating.

The average of the heights of all members of the population is not a statistic unless that has somehow also been ascertained ( such as by measuring every member of the population ).

Acute neutron radiation, such as from a nuclear criticality accident, converts some of the stable < sup > 23 </ sup > Na in human blood to < sup > 24 </ sup > Na ; by measuring the concentration of < sup > 24 </ sup > Na in relation to < sup > 23 </ sup > Na, the neutron radiation dosage of the victim can be calculated.

Tacticity may also be inferred by measuring another physical property, such as melting temperature, when the relationship between tacticity and that property is well-established.

This was determined by measuring the disk of cold dust orbiting the star produced by collisions between such small bodies.

He was the head of the Arkansas Bar Association committee that oversaw legal aid, and as such worked with legal aid clinic worker Hillary Rodham in successfully overcoming an unreasonable measuring requirement for indigent clients.

In many cases, the significance of measuring the unknown resistance is related to measuring the impact of some physical phenomenon ( such as force, temperature, pressure, etc.

Ionizing radiation, such as X-rays, alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays, are undetectable by the human senses, therefore a measuring device is used to detect, measure and record this, and in some cases give an alarm when a preset level is exceeded.

For instance, when measuring the position of an electron, one imagines shining a light on it, thus disturbing the electron and producing the quantum mechanical uncertainties in its position.

Many gags focus on this ; his inability to get a date is usually attributed to his lack of social skills, his poor taste in clothes ( Garfield remarked in one strip after seeing his closet that " two hundred moths committed suicide "; in another, the " geek police " ordered Jon to " throw out his tie "), and his eccentric interests which range from stamp collecting to measuring the growth of his toenails to watching movies with " polka ninjas ".

This allows the scale, by comparing weights, to also compare masses, and gives it the distinction of being one of the oldest known devices capable of measuring mass.
