Easily the best known of these three novels is The Space Merchants, a good example of a science-fiction dystopia which extrapolates much more than the impact of science on human life, though its most important warning is in this area, namely as to the use to which discoveries in the behavioral sciences may be put.

most important to Patchen, he was a non-literary hero, and very contemporary.

In actual practice, the values most readily amenable to measurement are the cutting force Af and the shear angle Aj.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is most closely allied with the scientist – practitioner model, in which clinical practice and research is informed by a scientific perspective, clear operationalization of the problem, and an emphasis on measurement, including measuring changes in cognition and behavior and in the attainment of goals.

The manometer measured depth of ± at for the Challenger Deep is believed to be the most accurate measurement taken yet.

The idea of the Erdős number was created by friends as a humorous tribute to the enormous output of Erdős, one of the most prolific modern writers of mathematical papers, and has become well known in scientific circles as a tongue-in-cheek measurement of mathematical prominence.

Hemoglobin concentration measurement is among the most commonly performed blood tests, usually as part of a complete blood count.

By the late 20th century, most nations of the former empire had officially adopted the metric system as their main system of measurement, although as of 2011 the United Kingdom had only partially adopted it.

Before this date, the most precise measurement of the Imperial Standard Yard was metres.

In most systems of measurement, the unit of length is a fundamental unit, from which other units are defined.

Although conversion from wavelengths to metres introduces an additional error in the overall length due to measurement error in determining the refractive index and the frequency, the measurement of frequency is one of the most accurate measurements available.

These indirect measurements must be calibrated to SI units via a direct measurement, most commonly a McLeod gauge.

The von Neumann description of quantum measurement of an observable A, when the system is prepared in a pure state ψ is the following ( note, however, that von Neumann's description dates back to the 1930s and is based on experiments as performed during that time – more specifically the Compton – Simon experiment ; it is not applicable to most present-day measurements within the quantum domain ):

Practical applications exist only for chemical compounds of promethium-147, which are used in luminous paint, atomic batteries and thickness measurement devices, even though promethium-145 is the most stable promethium isotope.
