You've probably heard that a battery or a wall outlet has a certain number ofvolts. This is a measurement of the electricalpotentialproduced by the battery, or the utility grid connected to the wall outlet. All those volts are sitting there waiting for you to use them, but there's a ca...
and the front of the thigh. Each measurement is taken twice for accuracy, and the average of the two measurements is recorded for each site. These numbers are then plugged into the Jackson-Pollock formula, often with the assistance of a web-based body fat calculator, and a number is produc...
What exactly is a ‘trace’ of precipitation, anyway? We hear the term all the time in weather forecasts. Halifax recorded a trace of rain on Thursday. Winnipeg saw a trace of snow last night. It’s the “pinch of salt” of meteorology—delightfully vag...

Again, I don’t necessarily agree with his contention. My point to him is if I don’t feel it hit my pocket book when I go to the store or in my income, then the real economic picture isn’t as bad as he makes it out to be. Sure, we all feel the pinch from time to time,...
Today, we’re diving even deeper into one of the factors that contribute to a stone’s inherent quality: Mohs hardness. Here’s some information on the history of the measurement and exactly what it means for consumers. A Quick History of Mohs Hardness We have Friedrich Mohs, a German ...
a network of 15 inertial measurement units (IMUs) to measure the rotations between the individual phalanxes. With this information, a hand pose is reconstructed using forward kinematics. Contact forces on the palm and each phalanx are measured by 6 customized force sensors made from a flexible ...
Space utilization provides the other piece of the puzzle - it compares the static measurement of the size of your space, with how and when they're used. However, it is slightly more complicated than that, and can be broken down into many other metrics! To start measuring space utilization,...
It’s also worth noting if there is an upper pressure limit set by the rim and tyre manufacturer, which will typically be found on the rim or tyre sidewall. You shouldn’t exceed the lower measurement of the two. If you have a set of wheels withhookless rims, the maximum permitted tyre...
highly viscous fluid will move less readily than a fluid of low viscosity. The term fluid refers to liquids and gases both of which have viscosity. The accurate prediction and measurement of the behavior of a fluid in motion is essential in the design of efficient industrial plants and ...
