The most that was accomplished was adding Mrs. Beige's tray to the dish pile, and by means of repeated threats, on an ascending scale, seeing that the girls dressed themselves, after a fashion.

The mass scale used in Table 5-1 was derived on the assumption that the motion of the glowing trail is related to the momentum transfer to the trail by the meteorite, permitting the calculation of the mass if the velocity is known ( Cook and Whipple, 1958 ).

An objective scale was developed for rating school neighborhoods from these data.

The rating scale of compulsivity was constructed by first perusing the interview records, categorizing all evidence related to compulsivity, then arranging a distribution of such information apart from the case records.

Both the BIH scale and A. 1 was defined by an epoch at the beginning of 1958: it was set to read Julian Date 2436204. 5 ( 1 January 1958 00: 00: 00 ) at the corresponding UT2 instant.

This was a compromise arrangement for a broadcast time scale: a linear transformation of the BIH's atomic time meant that the time scale was stable and internationally synchronised, while approximating UT1 means that tasks such as navigation which require a source of Universal Time continue to be well served by public time broadcasts.

On the scale he used, the boiling-point of water was marked at + 73 and the melting-point of ice at 51, so that the zero of his scale was equivalent to about − 240 on the Celsius scale.

After James Prescott Joule had determined the mechanical equivalent of heat, Lord Kelvin approached the question from an entirely different point of view, and in 1848 devised a scale of absolute temperature which was independent of the properties of any particular substance and was based solely on the fundamental laws of thermodynamics.

It followed from the principles on which this scale was constructed that its zero was placed at − 273. 15 ° C, at almost precisely the same point as the zero of the air-thermometer.

The Voortrekkers were those Boers ( mainly from the eastern Cape ) who left the Cape en masse in a series of large scale migrations later called the Great Trek beginning in 1835 as a result of British colonialism and constant border wars.

It is uncertain where it was first discovered that a combination of hydrated non-hydraulic lime and a pozzolan produces a hydraulic mixture ( see also: Pozzolanic reaction ), but concrete made from such mixtures was first used by the Ancient Macedonians and three centuries later on a large scale by Roman engineers.

The Fahrenheit scale later was redefined to make the freezing-to-boiling interval exactly 180 degrees, a convenient value as 180 is a highly composite number, meaning that it is evenly divisible into many fractions.

However, later work revealed that the number should actually be closer to 273. 2, and then the Celsius scale was defined with 0 ° C

The Rankine temperature scale was created to use degree intervals the same size as those of the Fahrenheit scale, such that a temperature difference of one degree Rankine ( 1 R ) is equal to a difference of 1 ° F, except that absolute zero is 0 R – the same way that the Kelvin temperature scale matches the Celsius scale, except that absolute zero is 0 K. The Fahrenheit scale uses ( in the same manner as the later Celsius scale ) the symbol ° to denote a point on the temperature scale and the letter F to indicate the use of the Fahrenheit scale ( e. g. " Gallium melts at 85. 5763 ° F "), as well as to denote a difference between temperatures or an uncertainty in temperature ( e. g. " The output of the heat exchanger experiences an increase of 72 ° F " and " Our standard uncertainty is ± 5 ° F ").

John Romer suggests that they used the same method that had been used for earlier and later constructions, laying out parts of the plan on the ground at a 1 to 1 scale.

While the tactics of modern guerrilla warfare originate in the 20th century, irregular warfare, using elements later characteristic of modern guerrilla warfare, has existed throughout the battles of many ancient civilizations but in a smaller scale.

Rapp's granddaughter, Gertrude, began the silk production in Economy on a small scale from 1826 to 1828, and later expanded.

The natural unit of information was therefore the decimal digit, much later renamed the hartley in his honour as a unit or scale or measure of information.

Cement was used on a large scale in the construction of the London sewerage system a generation later.

Constructed from Norman through to Tudor times, the castle has been described by architectural historian Anthony Emery as " the finest surviving example of a semi-royal palace of the later middle ages, significant for its scale, form and quality of workmanship ".

This part of the castle is considered by historian Anthony Emery to be " the finest surviving example of a semi-royal palace of the later middle ages, significant for its scale, form and quality of workmanship ".

Advertising murals were traditionally painted onto buildings and shops by sign-writers, later as large scale poster billboards.

It was later improved by Charles Richter, the father of the Richter magnitude scale.

The part lexicon-type layout ( with a marginal " dictionary " composed by Jennifer Sigler, who also edited the book ) spawned a number of concepts that have become common in later architectural theory, in particular " Bigness ": ' old ' architectural principles ( composition, scale, proportion, detail ) no longer apply when a building acquires Bigness.

Risus ( Latin for “ laughter ”) is a comedy game ( often described by its creator as a " joke game ") and uses a cliché ( character class ) system inspired by the broad " career scale " skills in Greg Gorden's DC Heroes RPG ( Mayfair Games ), and later influenced by Atlas Games ' Over the Edge.

Consequently such meters would normally have a non linear scale, but the iron parts are usually modified in shape to make the scale fairly linear over most of its range.

Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale.

In Europe, where rabbits are farmed on a large scale, they are protected against myxomatosis and calicivirus with a genetically modified virus.

The latter scale was modified by Soloviev, who calculated the Tsunami intensity I according to the formula

As mentioned above, the outer layer of the shell is part of the skin ; each scute ( or plate ) on the shell corresponds to a single modified scale.

The " leaves " are in fact needle-like cladodes ( modified stems ) in the axils of scale leaves ; they are long and broad, and clustered 4 – 15 together.

Modern enka's mainstream scale is called or " Minor Scale without Four and Seven ( re and sol )," and is a modified version of or " Major Scale without Four and Seven ( Fa and Ti )," which came from an older Japanese scale, the.

In Europe, where rabbits are farmed on a large scale, they are protected against myxomatosis and calicivirus with a genetically modified virus.

Doubly special relativity ( DSR )— also called deformed special relativity or, by some, extra-special relativity — is a modified theory of special relativity in which there is not only an observer-independent maximum velocity ( the speed of light ), but an observer-independent maximum energy scale and minimum length scale ( the Planck energy and Planck length ).

is expected to be modified and, indeed, the presence of an energy scale, namely, allows introducing-suppressed terms of higher order in the dispersion relation.

Many guitarists believe that the OM — a combination of Martin's modified 14-fret 000 body shape, long scale ( 25. 4 ") neck, solid headstock, 1-3 / 4 " nut width, 4-1 / 8 " maximum depth at the endwedge, and 2-3 / 8 " string spread at the bridge — offers the most versatile combination of features available in a steel-string acoustic guitar.

* Little Martin: Designed around a modified O-14 fret body, the Little Martin series is built at a smaller 23 " scale length.

After he returned to the US, Byrd wrote an article for the August 1927 edition of Popular Science Monthly in which he predicted that while specially modified aircraft with one to three crewmen would fly the Atlantic non-stop, it would be another 20 year before it would be realized on a commercial scale.

The boundaries of this time scale are related to large impact events that have modified the lunar surface, changes in crater form that occur through time, and the size-frequency distribution of craters superposed on geological units.

A patient is assessed against the criteria of the scale, and the resulting points give a patient score between 3 ( indicating deep unconsciousness ) and either 14 ( original scale ) or 15 ( the more widely used modified or revised scale ).

The seed cones are highly modified, each cone containing a single seed 4-7 mm long partly surrounded by a modified scale which develops into a soft, bright red berry-like structure called an aril, 8-15 mm long and wide and open at the end.

During the life of the car, two different styles of 3-door body were used ; one with two pillars rear of the door, looking very much like a modified 5-door frame, as used on the high-performance XR4i ; and a one-pillar design used on standard-performance 3-door hatchbacks and also at the other end of the scale as the basis for the very high-performance RS Cosworth.

The fleshy aril which surrounds each seed in the yew is a highly modified seed cone scale.
