Constitution, who gave Congress in Article 1, Section 8, the power to "fix the Standard of Weights and Measures." During the nineteenth century, the Office of Standard Weights and Measures regulated measurements. In 1901 it became the National Bureau of Standards, and in 1988 it was renamed ...
1. AVOIRDUPOIS WEIGHT. 1st. Used in almost all commercial transactions, and in the common dealings of life. 27 1/3 1/2 grains = 1 dram 16 drams = 1 ounce 16 ounces = 1 pound, (lb.) 28 pounds = 1 quarter, (qr.) 4 quarters = 1 hundred weight, (cwt.) 20 hundred weight = ...
5. Four is the minimum number of weights permitting the reproduction of any mass from one to ten within a given order of magnitude. Thus, weights whose masses are 1, 2, 2, and 5 kg are sufficient to reproduce masses from 1 to 10 kg. A set of weights usually contains weights that ...

It was followed by weekly body weight measurements and at the end of the study prior to necropsy. Food and water intake were also measured weekly. At the end of exposure and recovery period, all rats were fasted for 12 h prior to their blood draw and gross necropsy by withdrawing food...
Measurements of absorption and digestion of supplemental trace minerals are generally difficult to make because of the complexity of endogenous mineral excretion. In the current study, on day 25 and 35 apparent digestibility of Cu in the jejunum of birds fed O and H minerals were increased compared...

Rotational speeds used were 500, 1500, 2500, 4000, 5000, 6000 and 7200 rpm. The values of coefficient of friction and wear durability were taken as an average of three tests. All measurements were made at 23 ± 2 °C and relative humidity of 55±5%in a clean booth (Class 100) ...
Each sample was subjected to repeated measurements at three distinct sites, and the mean of these values was documented. 3. Results and discussions The objective of this work is to improve the mechanical properties of the printed components by direct pellet extrusion method. This is accomplished ...
