You may have misgivings about certain aspects of our military establishment -- I certainly do -- but you know any comparison of over-all American strength with over-all Soviet strength finds the United States not only superior, but so superior both in present weapons and in the development of new ones that our advantage promises to be a permanent feature of U.S.-Soviet relations for the foreseeable future.

In the former, the encounter with multiple, distinct cultures, often very different in organization and language from those of Europe, has led to a continuing emphasis on cross-cultural comparison and a receptiveness to certain kinds of cultural relativism.

The octane rating of gasoline is measured in a test engine and is defined by comparison with the mixture of 2, 2, 4-trimethylpentane ( iso-octane ) and heptane that would have the same anti-knocking capacity as the fuel under test: the percentage, by volume, of 2, 2, 4-trimethylpentane in that mixture is the octane number of the fuel.

The colour of a given sample as perceived by an observer ( i. e., the degree of ' pinkness ' or ' purpleness ') cannot be measured, only ranked in comparison with other coloured solutions.

Before embarking on comparison with other organizations it is essential to know the organization's function and processes ; base lining performance provides a point against which improvement effort can be measured.

Only very recently has it been possible to do the comparison the other way round, by bringing a well-prepared probe so close to a well-prepared surface that approximate parallel-plate geometry can be assumed and the conversion factor can be taken as 1 / W, where W is the measured probe-to emitter separation.

" Primitive ," in this sense, means that the abundances of most chemical elements do not differ greatly from those that are measured by spectroscopic methods in the photosphere of the sun, which in turn should be well-representative of the entire solar system ( note: to make such a comparison between a gaseous object like the sun and a rock like a chondrite, scientists choose one rock-forming element, such as silicon, to use as a reference point, and then compare ratios.

The rate of centrifugation is specified by the angular acceleration applied to the sample, typically measured in comparison to the g.
