Orthometric and normal heights differ in the precise way in which mean sea level is conceptually continued under the continental masses.

The traditional spirit level produces these practically most useful heights above sea level directly ; the more economical use of GPS instruments for height determination requires precise knowledge of the figure of the geoid, as GPS only gives heights above the GRS80 reference ellipsoid.

The degree of proportionality also varies ; it is determined by factors such as the precise formula used to allocate seats, the number of seats in each constituency or in the elected body as a whole, and the level of any minimum threshold for election.

These experiments became more and more precise, culminating in the verification of perturbative QCD at the level of a few percent at the LEP in CERN.

To function properly, the body requires between one and seven liters of water per day to avoid dehydration ; the precise amount depends on the level of activity, temperature, humidity, and other factors.

Some levels require precise timing to control the characters simultaneously-in one early level, the player must jump down a shaft with Olaf, using his shield as a hang glider, and as Olaf slowly descends, must use another Viking to clear his path.

An infusion pump allows precise control over the flow rate and total amount delivered, but in cases where a change in the flow rate would not have serious consequences, or if pumps are not available, the drip is often left to flow simply by placing the bag above the level of the patient and using the clamp to regulate the rate ; this is a gravity drip.

If his results can be generalised, they would suggest that none of the supposed paradoxes formulated in time travel stories can actually be formulated at a precise physical level: that is, that any situation in a time travel story turns out to permit many consistent solutions.

This results in the photorealist style being tight and precise, often with an emphasis on imagery that requires a high level of technical prowess and virtuosity to simulate, such as reflections in specular surfaces and the geometric rigor of man-made environs.

More precise biological and bioeconomic terms define acceptable level as follows:

Both effects can be achieved in software, which can in principle provide a very precise degree of control of the level of effect, however the " look " may be noticeably different.

In addition to such tuning, a main advantage with quantum dots is that, because of the high level of control possible over the size of the crystals produced, it is possible to have very precise control over the conductive properties of the material.

There was no precise difference between the two in terms of income level, but hatamoto had the right to an audience with the shogun, where gokenin did not.

Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a precise mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface.

Maintaining this precise level of agony is critical, since inflicting any more pain could cause the victim to lose consciousness, while inflicting any less pain is less effective.

The epsilon conjecture is a relative statement: assuming that a given elliptic curve E over Q is modular, it predicts the precise level of E.

More sophisticated designs link the cooler to a settable digital hygrometer, allowing very precise humidity level control.

After exiting the eye, the ARWO creates a Vortex Data Message that includes the precise latitude and longitude of the storm center as well as its maximum winds, maximum temperature, and minimum sea level pressure.

* Capability statements are used to indicate the precise level of support that an agent claims with respect to a MIB group.

Chitin is a modified polysaccharide that contains nitrogen ; it is synthesized from units of N-acetylglucosamine ( to be precise, 2 -( acetylamino )- 2-deoxy -- glucose ).

This leads to a precise control of glucose and the other monosaccharides galactose and fructose going down the glycolytic pathway.

The backhand clear is considered by most players and coaches to be the most difficult basic stroke in the game, since precise technique is needed in order to muster enough power for the shuttlecock to travel the full length of the court.

His theory of peripatric speciation ( a more precise form of allopatric speciation which he advanced ), based on his work on birds, is still considered a leading mode of speciation, and was the theoretical underpinning for the theory of punctuated equilibrium, proposed by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould.

For precise calculations, errors due to rounding and the number of significant digits of constants must be considered.

The barometric fuze was not considered accurate enough to detonate the bomb at the precise ignition height, because air pressure varies with local conditions.

Although the short story is expressly defined by its length, the precise length of stories that can be considered ' short ' varies between critics and writers, especially when taking account of the diversity of the form across genres.

The term does not yet have a well-established, precise meaning, but systems theory can reasonably be considered a specialization of systems thinking, a generalization of systems science, a systems approach.

This transformation law is considered to be built in to the notion of a tensor in a geometrical or physical setting, and the precise form of the transformation law determines the type ( or valence ) of the tensor.

) When all arrows are grouped tightly together, the cluster is considered precise since they all struck close to the same spot, even if not necessarily near the bullseye.

The precise nature of the Dark Powers of Ravenloft is never explicitly described in the game material, with the exception of a few of the novels based on the setting, and even those are considered non-canon.

Although hyperthyroidism has been considered to induce psychiatric symptoms by enhancement of the sensitivity and turnover in catecholaminergic neurotransmission, the precise mechanism of cognitive and behavioral dysfunction in hyperthyroidism is not known.

A tighter pattern is considered to deliver more precise control ; a more " open " pattern to offer greater potential for power and spin.

And Haussmann was a favorite target of the Situationist's critique ; besides pointing out the repressive aims that were achieved by Haussmann's urbanism, Guy Debord and his friends ( who considered urbanism to be a " state science " or inherently " capitalist " science ) also underlined that he nicely separated leisure areas from work places, thus announcing modern functionalism, as illustrated by Le Corbusier's precise zone tripartition ( one zone for circulation, another one for accommodations, and the last one for labour ).

In early May 2002, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld cancelled the $ 11 billion USD program because he considered it neither mobile nor precise enough.

The precise date of Hatshepsut's death — and the time when Thutmose III became the next pharaoh of Egypt — is considered to be Year 22, II Peret day 10 of her reign, as recorded on a single stela erected at Armant or January 16, 1458 BC.

Its precise position in the political spectrum — especially in relation to one of its principal competitors, The Globe and Mail — is at times disputed but the Star is generally considered to be the most leftwing of Canada's major papers.

While universally considered a masterpiece, its precise classification and influence in both Western and Eastern canon has been a matter of debate.
