As the dimensions of these quantities are the inverse of each other ( one is distance per volume, the other volume per distance ) when taking the mean value of the fuel-economy of a range of cars one measure will produce the harmonic mean of the other – i. e. converting the mean value of fuel economy expressed in litres per 100 km to miles per gallon will produce the harmonic mean of the fuel economy expressed in miles-per-gallon.

* Lambda is a non-SI metric unit of measure of volume ( symbol λ ) equal to one microliter ( 1 μL ) or one cubic millimeter ( 1 mm < sup > 3 </ sup >).

For n = 1, 2, or 3, it coincides with the standard measure of length, area, or volume.

The Lebesgue measure is often denoted dx, but this should not be confused with the distinct notion of a volume form.

Length is a measure of one dimension, whereas area is a measure of two dimensions ( length squared ) and volume is a measure of three dimensions ( length cubed ).

In this sense, a measure is a generalization of the concepts of length, area, and volume.

A particularly important example is the Lebesgue measure on a Euclidean space, which assigns the conventional length, area, and volume of Euclidean geometry to suitable subsets of the n-dimensional Euclidean space R < sup > n </ sup >.

The Lebesgue measure is the standard way of assigning a length, area or volume to subsets of Euclidean space.

* Quart, a measure of volume in traditional systems of units

This is used with weather radar to measure radial wind velocity and precipitation rate in each different volume of air.

A measure on X is a function which assigns a real number to subsets of X ; this can be thought of as making precise a notion of " size " or " volume " for sets.

The Banach – Tarski paradox is a theorem in measure theory that is paradoxical in the sense that it contradicts common intuitions about volume in three-dimensional space.

A tablespoonful, nominally the capacity of one tablespoon, is commonly used as a measure of volume in cooking.

A measuring cup can be used to measure volumes of liquid s. This cup measures volume in units of Cup ( unit ) | cups, fluid ounce s, and millilitre s.

But the problem is one which gives us the measure of a man, rather than a group of men, whether a group of doctors, a group of party members assembled at a dinner to give their opinion, or the masses of the voters.

Before the Draft Act was passed Baker had confidentially briefed governors, sheriffs, and prospective draft board members on the administration of the measure -- and the confidence was kept so well that only one newspaper learned what was going on.

The Walnut Trees Of Altenburg includes not one war but two, and throws in a Turkish revolution along with some guerrilla fighting in the desert for good measure.

Sonar can be used to measure the thickness of the heart by placing small crystal transducers at opposite sides of the heart or blood vessel and exciting one with some pulsed ultrasonic energy.

We should not allow the image of an immanent end brought about indirectly by our own action in the continuing human struggle for a just endurable order of existence to blind us to the fact that in some measure accelerating the end of our lease may be one consequence among others of many other of mankind's thrusts toward we know not what future.

In practical terms, the ampere is a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point in an electric circuit per unit time with 6. 241 × 10 < sup > 18 </ sup > electrons, or one coulomb per second constituting one ampere.

Euclid poses the problem: " Given two numbers not prime to one another, to find their greatest common measure ".

While Nicomachus ' algorithm is the same as Euclid's, when the numbers are prime to one another it yields the number " 1 " for their common measure.

Now it is easy to convince oneself that the set X could not possibly be measurable for any rotation-invariant countably additive finite measure on S. Hence one couldn't expect to find an algorithm to find a point in each orbit, without using the axiom of choice.

Astronomers measure the angular separation of two stars by imagining two lines through the centre of the Earth, each intersecting one of the stars.

In Great Britain, a single pub measure ( 25 ml ) of a spirit contains one unit.

Anemometers can be divided into two classes: those that measure the wind's speed, and those that measure the wind's pressure ; but as there is a close connection between the pressure and the speed, an anemometer designed for one will give information about both.

To clarify, when one says that the Lebesgue measure is an extension of the Borel measure, it means that every Borel measurable set E is also a Lebesgue measurable set, and the Borel measure and the Lebesgue measure coincide on the Borel sets ( i. e., for every Borel measurable set ).

Extending this concept to all sentient beings, one can measure a range of consciousness based on how many and how powerfully neurons are actually firing, varying from worms to humans.

In practical statistical analysis, the terms are often used before one has chosen even a preliminary form of analysis: thus an initial objective might be to " choose an appropriate measure of central tendency ".

Also, while elementary particles showed predictable properties in many experiments, they became highly unpredictable in certain contexts, for example, if one attempted to measure their individual trajectories through a simple physical apparatus.

The clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day ; the lunar month ; and the year.

To measure how well the program is exercised by a test suite, one or more coverage criteria are used.

Defense in depth works when the breaching of one security measure does not provide a platform to facilitate subverting another.

For internal combustion engines in the form of jet engines, the power output varies drastically with airspeed and a less variable measure is used: thrust specific fuel consumption ( TSFC ), which is the number of pounds of propellant needed to generate impulses that measure a pound force-hour.

For example, Galileo Galilei was able to accurately measure time and experiment to make accurate measurements and conclusions about the speed of a falling body. Antoine Lavoisier was a French chemist in the late 1700s who used experiment to describe new areas such as combustion and biochemistry and to develop the theory of conservation of mass ( matter ).

* Cetane rating, a measure of diesel fuel's combustion quality

* Octane rating, also called gasoline grade, the measure of the autoignition resistance of gasoline ( petrol ) and other fuels used in spark-ignition internal combustion engines

This type of pressure measurement may be more convenient, for example, to measure fuel or combustion pressures in jet or rocket engines.

Cetane number or CN is a measure of a fuel's ignition delay, the time period between the start of injection and the first identifiable pressure increase during combustion of the fuel.

The most common application is to measure the exhaust gas concentration of oxygen for internal combustion engines in automobiles and other vehicles.

* lambda sensor – also known as an oxygen sensor, used to measure lean versus rich combustion conditions

The European Comission intends to introduce a type approval procedure to measure the energy efficiency of mobile air conditioning systems in vehicles, as well as its effect on fuel consumption and emissions, and display an efficiency label on the vehicle ; the work is being performed by TU Graz ( Insitute for Internal combustion engines and Thermodynamics ), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki ( Laboratory of Applied Thermodynamics ), TNO and ACEA.
