Later experiments are often designed to test a hypothesis that a treatment effect has an important magnitude ; in this case, the number of experimental units is chosen so that the experiment is within budget and has adequate power, among other goals.

For example Connecticut applies the following standard to review unpreserved claims: 1. the record is adequate to review the alleged claim of error ; 2. the claim is of constitutional magnitude alleging the violation of a fundamental right ; 3. the alleged constitutional violation clearly exists and clearly deprived the defendant of a fair trial ; 4. if subject to harmless error analysis, the state has failed to demonstrate harmlessness of the alleged constitutional violation beyond a reasonable doubt.

Because the range of possible values for K < sub > a </ sub > spans many orders of magnitude, a more manageable constant, pK < sub > a </ sub > is more frequently used, where pK < sub > a </ sub >

The absolute value is closely related to the notions of magnitude, distance, and norm in various mathematical and physical contexts.

Tombaugh continued searching for some years after the discovery of Pluto, and the lack of further discoveries left him satisfied that no other object of a comparable apparent magnitude existed near the ecliptic.

0. 01 torr is one order of magnitude above high vacuum, where fluids are in the free molecular flow regime, i. e. the mean free path of molecules is comparable to the size of the equipment.

The change in heat capacity at a glass transition and a melting transition of comparable materials are typically of the same order of magnitude, indicating that the change in active degrees of freedom is comparable as well.

Even soils derived from granitic bedrock contain an order of magnitude less available phosphorus and only half as much nitrogen as soils in comparable climates in other continents.

They also found that the warming during the 10 – 14th centuries in some regions might be comparable in magnitude to the warming of the last few decades of the 20th century which was unprecedented within the past 500 years.

For instance, while Gerard O ' Neill built his first mass driver in 1976 – 77 with a $ 2000 budget, a short test model firing a projectile at 40 m / s and 33 g, his next model was an order of magnitude greater acceleration after a comparable increase in funding, and, a few years later, the University of Texas estimated that a mass driver firing a 10 kilogram projectile at 6000 m / s would cost $ 47 million.

Indicators which may be considered contraindicative to that magnitude of decline in the basis of the marine food web having occurred include not observing a comparable percentage decline in fish species which feed on phytoplankton.

The magnitude of the energy of cosmic ray flux in interstellar space is very comparable to that of other deep space energies: cosmic ray energy density averages about one electron-volt per cubic centimeter of interstellar space, or ~ 1 eV / cm < sup > 3 </ sup >, which is comparable to the energy density of visible starlight at 0. 3 eV / cm < sup > 3 </ sup >, the galactic magnetic field energy density ( assumed 3 microgauss ) which is ~ 0. 25 eV / cm < sup > 3 </ sup >, or the cosmic microwave background ( CMB ) radiation energy density at ~ 0. 25 eV / cm < sup > 3 </ sup >.

Quantum mechanically it is not unreasonable to assume that the momenta of the electrons and nuclei in a molecule are comparable in magnitude ( recall that the corresponding operators do not contain mass and think of the molecule as a box containing the electrons and nuclei and see particle in a box ).

Adding and subtracting SI prefixes creates multiples and submultiples ; however, as the unit is squared, the order of magnitude difference between units doubles from their comparable linear units.
