Expressing a CGS derived unit in terms of the SI base units, or vice versa, requires combining the scale factors that relate the two systems:

Clemence's 1948 proposal did not adopt a correction of this kind in terms of mean solar time: instead, the same numbers were used as in Newcomb's original uncorrected formula ( 1 ), but now in a reverse sense, to define the time and time scale implicitly, based on the real position of the Sun:

The time scale represented by T < sub > eph </ sub > has been characterized as a relativistic coordinate time that differs from Terrestrial Time only by small periodic terms with an amplitude not exceeding 2 milliseconds of time: it is linearly related to, but distinct ( by an offset and constant rate which is of the order of 0. 5 sec / yr ) from the TCB time scale adopted in 1991 as a standard by the IAU.

Attempts to extend the Standard Model or other quantum field theories by adding gravitons run into serious theoretical difficulties at high energies ( processes involving energies close to or above the Planck scale ) because of infinities arising due to quantum effects ( in technical terms, gravitation is nonrenormalizable ).

Figures are probably the most variable of all subjects in terms of scale and are often referred to as their metric equivalent ; for example, a 1: 32 scale figure soldier is more commonly described as " 54mm ".

The conflict has been compared to World War I in terms of the tactics used, including large scale trench warfare with barbed wire stretched across trenches, manned machine-gun posts, bayonet charges, human wave attacks across a no-man's land, and extensive use of chemical weapons such as mustard gas by the Iraqi government against Iranian troops, civilians, and Iraqi Kurds.

This comes after the studies of structural geology ( at the reservoir scale ), sedimentary basin analysis, reservoir characterization ( mainly in terms of porosity and permeable structures ).

The impact of the risk event is commonly assessed on a scale of 1 to 5, where 1 and 5 represent the minimum and maximum possible impact of an occurrence of a risk ( usually in terms of financial losses ).

During this time, he conducted important research for his history, having claimed that he pursued the project as he thought it would be one of the greatest wars waged among the Greeks in terms of scale. Purported bust of Herodotus

The Grunwald Winstein mY scale measures polarity in terms of solvent influence on buildup of positive charge of a solute during a chemical reaction.

Kosower's Z scale measures polarity in terms of the influence of the solvent on uv absorption maxima of a salt, usually pyridinium iodide or the pyridinium zwitterion.

Donor number and donor acceptor scale measures polarity in terms of how a solvent interacts with specific substances, like a strong Lewis acid or a strong Lewis base.

In formal terms, this means that the cosmic scale factor has a positive second derivative, so that the velocity at which a distant galaxy is receding from us should be continuously increasing with time.

In layman's terms, the signal is going " off the scale ".

These terms, however, tend to be used in reference to localised areas of atmosphere ( at a synoptic scale )).

It may also be defined on a logarithmic scale, in terms of the decimal logarithm of the same ratio (" dB gain ").

Often the more general terms "( large scale ) data analysis ", or " analytics " – or when referring to actual methods, artificial intelligence and machine learning – are more appropriate.

His viewpoint is that science can only progress by outlining what questions are unanswerable and by using models that do not attempt to explain everything in terms of smaller hierarchical levels of organization, but instead model them on the scale of the system itself, taking into account some ( but not all ) factors from levels both higher and lower in the hierarchy.

This is sometimes written as V = k T, where k is a constant dependent on the type, mass, and pressure of the gas and T is temperature on an absolute scale ( in terms of the ideal gas law, k = n · R / P ).

Although cutting costs by cutting benefits is difficult, the program can also achieve substantial economies of scale in terms of the prices it pays for health care and administrative expenses and, as a result, private insurers ’ costs have grown almost 60 % more than Medicare ’ s since 1970.

An example of an operational definition might be defining the weight of an object in terms of the numbers that appear when that object is placed on a weighing scale.

The largest ( both in terms of scale and quantity ) and best-known topographic series is the 7. 5-minute or 1: 24, 000 quadrangle.

Reduced to its simplest terms, it is an assumption of a collective duty to compensate for the inability of individuals to cope with the rigors of the era.

It is clear that, while most writers enjoy picturing the Negro as a woolly-headed, humble old agrarian who mutters `` yassuhs '' and `` sho' nufs '' with blissful deference to his white employer ( or, in Old South terms, `` massuh '' ), this stereotype is doomed to become in reality as obsolete as Caldwell's Lester.

She, too, is concerned with `` the becoming, the process of realization '', but she does not think in terms of subtle variations of spatial or temporal patterns.

In homely terms whose timeliness is startling today, he thus declared his own right to secede.

Though sex in some form or other enters into all human activity and it was a good thing that Freud emphasized this aspect of human nature, it is fantastic to explain everything in terms of sex.

In the first instance, `` mimesis '' is here used to mean the recalling of experience in terms of vivid images rather than in terms of abstract ideas or conventional designations.

He terms this early enthusiasm `` Romantic Christianity '' and concludes that its similarity to democratic beliefs of that day is so great that `` the doctrine of liberty seems but a secular version of its counterpart in evangelical Protestantism ''.

Despite the hopelessness of the response, it is explicable in terms of the crisis of tradition itself.

When the reactionary response is thus bolstered by an intellectual defense, the characteristics of that defense are explicable only in terms of the basic attitudes of unanalyzed reaction.

Undoubtedly one merit of the vast panorama of Gentile conceptions of the Jew unfolded in the present anthology is that it provides a formidable body of material that invites critical examination in terms of reality.

Community decision makers must make up their minds whether a claim is acceptable to the larger community in terms of prevailing expectations regarding members of nation states.

For this reason, the more uncertain skywave service was denominated `` secondary '' in our rules, as compared to the steadier, more reliable groundwave `` primary service '', and, for both skywave service and skywave interference, signal strength is expressed in terms of percentage of time a particular signal-intensity level is exceeded -- 50 percent of the time for skywave service, 10 percent of the time for skywave interference.

The only precaution is that all volumes used in the formula be quoted in the same terms.
