Such an instrument is expected to be especially useful if it could be used to measure the elasticity of heavy pastes such as printing inks, paints, adhesives, molten plastics, and bread dough, for the elasticity is related to those various properties termed `` length '', `` shortness '', `` spinnability '', etc., which are usually judged by subjective methods at present.

A number of semiempirical estimates by various workers lead to the conclusion that the Af bond becomes symmetric when the Af bond length is about 2.4 to 2.5 A, but aside from the possible example of nickel dimethylglyoxime there have been no convincing reports of symmetric Af bonds.

Data on the former are scanty, but there can be little doubt that the latter is sometimes born at a length greater than that of any of the others, thereby lending support to the belief that the anaconda does, indeed, attain the greatest length.

For four of the six ( the anaconda and the amethystine python cannot be included for lack of data ) there is also a correlation between size at maturity and maximum length, the boa constrictor being the smallest and the Indian python the next in size at the former stage.

The huge ratio of length vs cross sectional area coupled with velocity made the arrow orders of magnitude more powerful than any other hand held weapon until firearms were invented.

Because cylinder bore diameter, piston stroke length and combustion chamber volume are almost always constant, the compression ratio for a given engine is almost always constant, until engine wear takes its toll.

Since the compression ratio is the ratio between dynamic and static volumes of the combustion chamber the Atkinson cycle's method of increasing the length of the powerstroke compared to the intake stroke ultimately altered the compression ratio at different stages of the cycle.

where r = radius of gyration of cross-section which is equal to the square root of ( I / A ), K = ratio of the longest half sine wave to the actual column length, and KL

Over any horizontal interval, the ratio of the area under the catenary to its length equals a, independent of the interval selected.

* Aspect ratio is the ratio of the horizontal length to the vertical length.

The eccentricity of an ellipse, usually denoted by ε or e, is the ratio of the distance between the two foci, to the length of the major axis or e = 2f / 2a = f / a.

For example, when you measure the height of a mountain you really measure the ratio of its height to the length of a meter stick.

The giraffe's intestines measure up to in length and have a relatively small ratio of small to large intestine.

Without histones, the unwound DNA in chromosomes would be very long ( a length to width ratio of more than 10 million to one in human DNA ).

Kepler also found a formula relating the size of each planet ’ s orb to the length of its orbital period: from inner to outer planets, the ratio of increase in orbital period is twice the difference in orb radius.

While most longships held a length to width ratio of 7: 1, the Karvi ships were closer to 4. 5: 1.

The lengths of the parameter intervals which yield oscillations of a given length decrease rapidly ; the ratio between the lengths of two successive such bifurcation intervals approaches the Feigenbaum constant δ = 4. 669.

Measurement is the process or the result of determining the ratio of a physical quantity, such as a length, time, temperature etc., to a unit of measurement, such as the meter, second or degree Celsius.

In contrast to submachine guns and autocannons, machine guns ( like rifles ) tend to share the characteristic of a very high ratio of barrel length to caliber ( a long barrel for a small caliber ); indeed, a true machine gun is essentially a fully automatic rifle, and often the primary criterion for a machine gun as opposed to an automatic rifle is the presence of a quick-change barrel or other cooling system ( see below ).

where I is the current across the plate length, B is the magnetic field, d is the depth ( thickness ) of the plate, e is the elementary charge, and n is the charge carrier density of the carrier electrons.

c is a compensating plate so that both the reflected and transmitted beams travel through the same amount of glass ( important since experiments were run with white light which has an extremely short coherence length requiring precise matching of optical path lengths for fringes to be visible ; monochromatic sodium light was used only for initial alignment ).

It was conducted by 20 observatories all using special photographic telescopes with a uniform design called normal astrographs, all with an aperture of around 13 inches ( 330 mm ) and a focal length of 11 feet ( 3. 4 m ), designed to create images with a uniform scale on the photographic plate of approximately 60 arcsecs / mm while covering a 2 ° × 2 ° field of view.

In his groundbreaking work on transform fault systems, Tuzo Wilson said that transform faults must be connected to other faults or tectonic plate boundaries on both ends ; because of that requirement, transform faults can grow in length, keep a constant length, or decrease in length.

The focal length determines how wide an angle the telescope can view with a given eyepiece or size of a CCD detector or photographic plate.

In this microdevice, the pollen tube growth rate, length and ovule targeting frequencies were similar to those obtained using a semi in vivo plate assay.

Apart from differences in the length of the upper and lower jaws, recent and fossil halfbeaks are distinguished by the fusion of the third pair of upper pharyngeal bones into a plate.

Early Marx Trains and entry-level trains, usually made of lithographed tin plate, were not scaled at all, made to whimsical proportions about the same length of an HO scale (" half O ") piece, but about the same width and height of an O scale piece.

An older and more primitive style of faceting machine called a jamb peg machine used wooden dop sticks of precise length and a " mast " system consisting of a plate with holes carefully placed in it.

Their coat should be medium length with a little extra on the chest plate.

It is usually between three to five feet in length, with a well-rounded resonator plate ( tabli ) and a long, hollow straight neck.

The local rectangular graves consisted of boxes assembled from four vertical slabs of about in length, with a fifth plate that served as a lid.

Any such plate performs somewhat like a lens, each plate having a specific focal length for any given wavelength.

Each radar range yields a zone plate strip with a focal length proportional to that range.

An infamous example of the rule in execution is the Pine Tar Incident on July 24, 1983, when Kansas City Royals third baseman George Brett was called out after hitting an apparent home run, because after comparing the length of the pine-tar treated area to the width of home plate ( 17 inches ), the umpire determined too much of the bat was covered with pine tar.

The E49 six pack engine came with a baffled sump, tuned length headers, special shot-peened crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, rings, cam, valve springs, a twin plate clutch and of course the triple 45 mm dual throat Weber carburetors.
