The radiation loss from the anode surface was computed according to Af where Af is the mean of the fourth powers of the temperatures Af and Af calculated analogously to equation ( 1 ).

In analogy with the figurative meanings of English pole, Chinese ji 極 " ridgepole " can mean " geographical pole ; direction " ( e. g., siji 四極 " four corners of the earth ; world's end "), " magnetic pole " ( Beiji 北極 " North Pole " or yinji 陰極 " negative pole ; anode "), or " celestial pole " ( baji 八極 " farthest points of the universe ; remotest place ").

This allows the conduction of the rectifier to be controlled, for example to delay the instant at which the arc transfers to the anode on the alternating current waveform, thereby giving control of the mean output voltage produced by the rectifier.

It turns out that a more suitable quantity for updating is the sum of squares of differences from the ( current ) mean,, here denoted:

The root mean square current fluctuation is given by

The abbreviations AC and DC are often used to mean simply alternating and direct, as when they modify current or voltage.

The connection is now standard, but is based on what current scholars mean by " induction ", not how Hume used the term in his writings.

( The SI second as now used for UTC, when adopted, was already a little shorter than the current value of the second of mean solar time.

In this way, decisions made by the original designers of ephemeris time influenced the length of today's standard SI second, and in turn, this has a continuing influence on the number of leap seconds which have been needed for insertion into current broadcast time scales, to keep them approximately in step with mean solar time.

Although the XM-291 does not immediately mean that ETC technology is viable at this current point in time it does offer an example that it is possible and that continued research in the area is worth the advantages reaped if such a system was to be successfully implemented on a modern tank.

Paul Verhoef, the then current satellite navigation program manager at the European Commission indicated that this limited funding would have serious consequences commenting at one point " To give you an idea, that would mean that for three weeks in the year you will not have satellite navigation " in reference to the currently proposed 18 vehicle constellation.

The chaotic nature of the atmosphere, the massive computational power required to solve the equations that describe the atmosphere, error involved in measuring the initial conditions, and an incomplete understanding of atmospheric processes mean that forecasts become less accurate as the difference in current time and the time for which the forecast is being made ( the range of the forecast ) increases.

Based on the current IUGG meridian of ( standard ) metres the mean historical nautical mile is.

In the book's introduction, Schwartz states that the word " myth ", as used in the book, " is not offered to mean something that is not true, as in the current popular usage ".

Milanković selected this rule because its mean year was within two seconds of the then current length of the mean tropical year.

The common-emitter amplifier is designed so that a small change in voltage ( V < sub > in </ sub >) changes the small current through the base of the transistor ; the transistor's current amplification combined with the properties of the circuit mean that small swings in V < sub > in </ sub > produce large changes in V < sub > out </ sub >.

( The SI second, when adopted, was already a little shorter than the current value of the second of mean solar time.

The chaotic nature of the atmosphere, the massive computational power required to solve the equations that describe the atmosphere, error involved in measuring the initial conditions, and an incomplete understanding of atmospheric processes mean that forecasts become less accurate as the difference in current time and the time for which the forecast is being made ( the range of the forecast ) increases.

The average length of this calendar's year is mean solar days ( as 97 out of 400 years are leap years ); this is within one ppm of the current length of the mean tropical year ( days ).

" The IPCC Third Assessment Report from 2001 summarised research at that time, saying "… current evidence does not support globally synchronous periods of anomalous cold or warmth over this time frame, and the conventional terms of ' Little Ice Age ' and ' Medieval Warm Period ' appear to have limited utility in describing trends in hemispheric or global mean temperature changes in past centuries ".

Although Kurzweil agrees that by 2019 the current strategy of ever-finer photolithography will have run its course, he speculates that this does not mean the end of Moore's law:

Basic meters utilize a rectifier circuit to measure the average or peak absolute value of the voltage, but are calibrated to show the calculated root mean square ( RMS ) value for a sinusoidal waveform ; this will give correct readings for alternating current as used in power distribution.

This equivalent voltage or current corresponds to the above power spectral density, and would have a mean squared amplitude over a bandwidth B of:

is the fundamental component of the current and is the total current-both are root mean square-values.

Since shot noise is a Poisson process due to the finite charge of an electron, one can compute the root mean square current fluctuations as being of a magnitude

`` You mean you dragged your wife all over hell's half-acre looking for work ''??

An' that could mean trouble with a fella that's workin' for crooks.

`` You mean anyone who stood up for his rights '', Curt said.

This does not mean that the decision to run for office should inevitably have been revoked.

Anyone who has watched children develop a taste for literature will understand what I mean.

I use this term to mean three things: a search for the human significance of an event or state of affairs, a tendency to look at wholes rather than parts, and a tendency to respond to these events and wholes with feeling.

for if this can be proved we shall surely be the gainers -- I mean, if there is a use in poetry as well as a delight ''.

This matter is of great importance, and the outcome may mean the difference between life or death, or at least serious injuries, for many veterans.

Let us prepare for peace, instead of for a war which would mean the end of civilization.

He had a mean, unbroken sheer bastard in his outfit, and someone invented the name Trig for him.

And for him to leave this job now without accomplishing anything would mean practically the end of his career in the Methodist church, if not in all churches.

A quarter inch this way or that for the hardbake, or the toffee, or the barley sugar, or the sardines, or the bitters, or the condensed milk, or the stationery, or the needles -- what could it mean??

Because the bobbin-to-cone winding process is a relatively high-cost operation for the mill, the almost complete automation provided by the Uniconer can mean important economies in textile production, at the same time upgrading quality.

If that's done, the house can be designed and oriented for best operation, and this can mean savings both in the size of equipment and in the cost of the house itself.

`` If I have seemed to emphasize the structure of the composition, I mean to project equal concern for color.

Look for these features which may mean you can save:

Every new scandal which would provide more `` copy '' for Marshall's pen would thus mean more publicity for Welch.

Such classifications may be called `` somewhat advanced '' or `` somewhat delayed '', as the case may be, reserving `` moderate '' for dots upon or close to the mean.

There the middle one of the three curves denotes `` mean Skeletal Age '' for the Maturity Series boys and girls.

As one approach to doing this, Figures 3 and 4 have be constructed from the mean ages and the individual onset and completion ages for boy 34 and girl 2.

The `` dot '' on one end of each arrow indicates extent of difference in months between the child's onset age and the corresponding mean age for the growth center.

The `` tip '' of the arrow represents extent of difference between the child's completion age and the corresponding mean age for the growth center.

Thus, the alignment of the `` dots '' and `` tips '', respectively, indicate individual variability of the 21 growth centers of each child with respect to the mean values for these boys and girls.
