Unlike YPLL, these measurements show the burden imposed on people who are very sick, but who live a normal lifespan.

The years of potential life lost ( YPLL ) is a simple estimate of the number of years that a person's life was shortened due to a disease.

A disease that has high morbidity, but low mortality, will have a high DALY and a low YPLL.

He would conduct measurements and was prepared to climb into street manholes to do so.

In physical sciences, numerical values ( such as constants, quantities, or scales of measurement ) are called conventional if they do not represent a measured property of nature, but originate in a convention, for example an average of many measurements, agreed between the scientists working with these values.

According to quantum theory, the particles do not possess definite positions during the periods between measurements.

( Which ones are designated as factual is determined by the experimenter: the outcomes of the measurements he actually performs become factual by virtue of his choice to do so, the outcomes of the measurements he doesn't perform are counterfactual.

An object may deliberately be made to crash-land on another celestial body, to do measurements and send them to Earth before being destroyed, or to allow instruments elsewhere to observe the effect.

More recent measurements do tend to validate the classic theory, for the most part.

This parallels our treatment of other terms such as less or more, which meet with universal understanding and do not depend upon independent standards ( for example, one can convert measurements ).

A major point of the analysis is that many of the measurements of the observables do not correspond to properties of the particles ; they are ( as in the case of spin discussed above ) measurements of the wavefunction.

Such scholars do not consider this a trivial difference, noting that many traditional researchers ' aggression measurements may measure outcomes lower down in the continuum, at levels which are adaptive, yet they generalize their findings to non-adaptive levels of aggression, thus losing precision.

; they point out that the traditional formulas with a logarithmic region and a linear region do not fit the data from Stevens and Volkman's curves as well as some other forms, based on the following data table of measurements that they made from those curves:

Although von Neumann's projection postulate is often presented as a normative description of quantum measurement, it was conceived by taking into account experimental evidence available during the 1930s ( in particular the Compton-Simon experiment has been paradigmatic ), and many important present-day measurement procedures do not satisfy it ( so-called measurements of the second kind ).

If a GM tube is to be used for gamma or X-ray dosimetry measurements, the energy of each particle causing a count event must be taken into account ; however individual pulses from a G-M tube do not carry any energy information.

Astronomical measurements of both matter-energy density of the universe and spacetime intervals using supernova events constrain the spatial curvature to be very close to zero, although they do not constrain its sign.

* Blank ( solution ), a solution containing no analyte, typically used to zero an analytical instrument and ensure that any reagents used do not contribute to overall measurements

Attempts to do this had been made in the eighteenth century, but it was not until Sabine's lifetime that precision instruments were available to allow sufficiently accurate measurements to be made.

Electrical measurements do not provide an actual picture like imaging with a microscope can.

The radiocarbon evidence is a suite of 28 measurements, for which all but the first four, from the early days of the use of that method and now viewed as inaccurate, support the twelfth to fifteenth centuries chronology, In the 1970s, a beam that produced some of the anomalous dates in 1952 was reanalysed and gave a fourteenth century date, as do dated finds such as Chinese, Persian and Syrian artifacts also support the twelfth and fifteenth century dates.

The Childhood Narcissism Scale ( CNS ) measurements concluded that narcissistic children seek to impress others and gain admiration but do not have any interest in creating sincere friendships.

Many manufacturers do not give sound power measurements.

Some report sound pressure measurements, but those that do often do not specify how sound pressure measurements were taken.

Vertebral height measurements can objectively be made using plain-film x-rays by using several methods such as height loss together with area reduction, particularly when looking at vertical deformity in T4-L4, or by determining a spinal fracture index that takes into account the number of vertebrae involved.

Proponents of this account point to Rwanda as an example since the Tutsi / Hutu distinction was codified by the Belgian colonial power in the 1930s on the basis of cattle ownership, physical measurements and church records.

* Paper-a description of the physical properties of the paper, including production process, an account of chain-line measurements, and a description of watermarks ( if present )

Even when this planet was taken into account, there still remained significant residuals in the radial velocity measurements, and it was suggested there might be a second planet in orbit.

The size of the Maqsurah and the site of the fitting place differed at the time of fitting, although every technical aspects and measurements of the site were taken into account very precisely.

Generally speaking a position fix is calculated by taking into account measurements ( referred to as observations ) of distances or angles to reference points whose positions are known.

Counting water volume and taking into account depth measurements, Birmingham has more cubic meters of water pass through its canals than any other city in the world.

Even on a computer with many addressing modes, measurements of actual programs indicate that the simple addressing modes listed below account for some 90 % or more of all addressing modes used.

When these effects were taken into account, along with all other known effects, the calculated position of the Pioneers did not agree with measurements based on timing the return of the radio signals being sent back from the spacecraft.

Bell had overlooked that the heights of the Nile floods in the Palermo Stone inscriptions only takes into account the measurements of the nilometers around Memphis, but not elsewhere along the river.

" However, they also concluded that " the strength of evidence ... is low ," " many children continue to display prominent areas of impairment ," " subgroups may account for a majority of the change ," there is " little evidence of practical effectiveness or feasibility beyond research studies ," and the published studies " used small samples, different treatment approaches and duration, and different outcome measurements.

When comparing voice quality measurements the signal, environment and configurations should all be taken into account.

It also detailed the shape and measurements of the central plaza taking into account the spacing for purposes of trade as well as the spacing for purposes of festivities or even military operations-occasions that involved horse-riding.

The calculation of the static and dynamic effects of turbulent wind on the bridge, when in service and under construction, was carried out using the " Scanner " computer program, taking into account the aerodynamic measurements made at the Carmel West Wind Laboratory ( J. Raggett ) on a model of the bridge deck, with the help of Pr Scanlan.

To ensure a proper fit, head measurements are taken into account with this type of weave.

According to Oxfam researchers, there are many other aspects of the agricultural processing and the food supply chain that also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions which are not taken into account by simple " food miles " measurements.
