In contrast, stellar aberration is independent of the distance of a celestial object from the observer, and depends only on the observer's instantaneous transverse velocity in certain frame of reference, at the moment of observation.

... for at the moment that the observer approaches, then they become other ... so that you cannot get any further in knowing their nature or state .... but if that which knows and that which is known exist ever ... then I do not think they can resemble a process or flux ....

The altitude-intercept method of celestial navigation requires that the observer know exact Greenwich Mean Time ( GMT ) at the moment of his observation of the celestial body, to the second.

Before the use of charge-coupled devices, there was no way of recording the image of the planet in the brief moment other than having the observer remember the image and draw it later.

To reduce the error caused by the observer, Nušl developed an " impersonal micrometer ": instead of pushing a button in the moment of the passage of a star, the observer set up the instrument to follow exactly the movement of the star and the moment of the passage has been signalled automatically.

One common measure of kurtosis, originating with Karl Pearson, is based on a scaled version of the fourth moment of the data or population, but it has been argued that this measure really measures heavy tails, and not peakedness.

It measures the effects of an earthquake, and is distinct from the moment magnitude usually reported for an earthquake ( sometimes described as the obsolete Richter magnitude ), which is a measure of the energy released.

The magnitude of the CCH is an instantaneous value subject to change as a function of time ( i. e. from moment to moment ), and is subject to study including load curve and busy hour as other measures of traffic are.

* 1911 Ștefan Procopiu measures the magnetic dipole moment of the electron

These are sometimes referred to as multi-moment correlation measures, in comparison to those that consider only second moment ( pairwise or quadratic ) dependence.

Pearson product moment correlation coefficient | Pearson / Spearman's rank correlation coefficient | Spearman correlation coefficients between X and Y are shown when the two variables ' ranges are unrestricted, and when the range of X is restricted to the interval ( 0, 1 ). Most correlation measures are sensitive to the manner in which X and Y are sampled.

They claimed that the psychological method is the most direct method because it measures intelligence as it is in the present moment by assessing his / her capacity to judge, comprehend, reason, and invent.

Until that moment, Fraga was known as a heavy-handed politician, though also seen as one of the reformers seeking a liberalisation from within the regime, but the drastic measures he took as chief of state security during the first days of the Spanish transition to democracy deeply damaged his popularity.

" I mean to avail myself at the right moment of all the means placed at my disposal by the treaty, and I declare, without making any kind of threat, but merely in order that the position may be quite clear and well understood, that we do not intend to claim anything from Germany to which she is not strictly bound under the terms of the treaty, but we shall exact everything she owes us, and to obtain it we shall have recourse to the measures of all kinds provided for in the treaty.

While they do not pursue the simplifiying approach of Fayrfax ( an almost exact contemporary of Cornysh junior, and fellow at Court and Chapel ), and remain in a more old-fashioned florid melodic style, they adopt proto-madrigalian manners ( for example in the setting of words like " clamorosa ", " crucifige " and " debellandum " in the Stabat mater ) and have a particularly developed sense of tonal movement ( for example, in the Stabat mater, the closing " Amen " features deliberate use of F sharps as leading notes to give a sense of tonal cadence into G, or employing E flats at " Sathanam " to give a tonal cadence onto B flat, emphasizing the " strong " nature of the text at that moment, employing the bass-movement V-I ), as well as adopting a more modern sense of the expressive apoggiatura in melodic shapes and in bringing out the stresses of the Latin by such devices ( for example, again the Stabat mater, the use of apoggiaturas in the Bassus part to express " ContriSTANtem et doLENtem " in the first few measures, and again at " Contemplari doLENtem cum filio?

Examples of such measures include the product moment correlation coefficient, used mainly for quantitative measurements, and the odds ratio, used for dichotomous measurements.

Unlike the moment magnitude scale ( formerly Richter scale ), which measures the energy released by the earthquake, the JMA scale describes the degree of shaking at a point on the Earth's surface, and is analogous to the Mercalli intensity scale.

The Appreciation Scale measures 8 different aspects of gratitude: appreciation of people, possessions, the present moment, rituals, feeling of awe, social comparisons, existential concerns, and behaviour which expresses gratitude.

Peter Mason writes: " Given the measures that the West Indian authorities had taken to ensure that no black man would ever captain a regional side, it was a great irony and a huge source of delight to Constantine that he should be the man to lead the team at the moment of their greatest achievement so far.
