metre --  Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust! Thus, the classic metre of French poetry is the alexandrine, a line of 12 syllables with a medial caesura (a pause occurring after the 6th syllable). Quantitative verse, the metre of classical Greek and Latin poetry, measures quantity, or the length of time required to pronounce syllables regardless of their stress. The metre was historically defined by the French Academy of Sciences in 1791 as of the quadrant of the Earth's circumference running from the North Pole... www.britannica.com /ebc/article-9052351?tocId=9052351   (1215 words)

Measurements, Units of Measurement, Weights and Measures - Numericana A mole of "objects" [atoms, molecules, ions, electrons] is defined to be as many of these as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. The labeling of A/C units is in terms of thousands of Btu [per hour] (typically: 024, 030, 036, 042, 048, or 060), but betrays its origin in terms of tons of cooling (2, 2½, 3, 3½, 4, or 5 tons of refrigeration). The US gallon, the so-called Winchester gallon, is now defined as exactly equal to 231 cubic inches (this odd value comes from rounding up the volume of a cylindrical measure 7 inches in diameter and 6 inches in height, which dates back to the days of the Magna Carta). home.att.net /~numericana/answer/units.htm   (1215 words)

Units of Measurement and SI Units The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second. In this definition, it is understood that the carbon 12 atoms are unbound, at rest and in their ground state. The mole is the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 0.012 kilogram of carbon 12. www.gordonengland.co.uk /conversion/xsiunits.htm   (1215 words)

topic06.html A mole represents how much substance that contains as many atoms or molecules as there are atoms in 0.012 kg of the carbon isotope carbon-12 (12/6 C) The mole, symbol mol, is the SI unit for amount of substance. Coordinate systems are used to define the position of a point on a plane using two co-ordinates or in space using three co-ordinates, e.g. www.uq.edu.au /_School_Science_Lessons/topic06.html   (1215 words)

Language and poetic metre I have analysed the regularities and idiosyncrasies in the verse structure of regilaulud (Kalevala metre songs) *1 from Kullamaa parish that were recorded in a phase of disintegration or alteration, and I have made an attempt to compare deviations from the classical regivärss with changes in the Estonian language that might have caused them. In order to understand the alteration process I have also observed the linguistic circumstances during the rise of the classical regilaul form, as that may be considered the initial stage in the nucleus of regilaul region (see Tedre 1990: 12) which seems to include also Western Estonia. But the role of word stress in Kalevala metre songs and the means of expressing it are still unclear and not thoroughly studied, because in case of songs, from among the possible means for expressing stress are chosen pitch to serve the melody, and length opposition to serve the metre. haldjas.folklore.ee /Folklore/vol7/maripar.htm   (5102 words)

Origins Van Metre Family Joost Janse Van Meteren who came to America with his father, Jan Joosten, and the rest of this family on the ship "Fox", September 12, 1662, Americanized his name to John Van Metre. The Van Metre name origins are from the Dutch name Van Meteren, meaning "of" and Meteren, being a village (sometimes called Meeteren), in Tielerwaard, Holland. Van Metre in turn was changed by some later generations to Van Meter and Van Matre. www.vanmetre.com /van_metre_family.htm   (74 words)

12 Metre Class Yachts - Newport, RI However, the 12 Metre class, like the J boats, were designed based on a formula. In 1939 American 12 Metre racing was taken to a new level when Harold Vanderbilt, an accomplished America's Cup sailor, J boat skipper, and winner of the 1930, 1934, and 1937 America's Cup, took his new 12 Metre, Vim (12 Metre US-15) to England to race against the prestigious Royal Yacht Squadron. Vim continued to be the standard by which all other 12 Metre yachts were gauged for the next two decades until 1958 when Columbia (12 Metre US-16) defeated her by only 12 seconds in the tie breaking race of the America's Cup defense trials. www.classic12metercharters.com /history.asp   (856 words)

Schubert Fingerprint article by Nettheim Any metre appearing in a score can be regarded as resulting from three choices: (i) a 'real' metre, (ii) the number (1, ½ or 2) of notated or 'nominal' bars per curve and (iii) the note-value chosen as metrical unit. Different 'nominal' metres appear: 2/2, 2/4 and 4/4, all with triplet notation, and 12/8, in which the triplets are incorporated into the time signature. Metre, from the present point of view, is a hierarchical subdivision of the time occupied by one traversal of the curve of a given composer. users.bigpond.net.au /nettheim/schufing/schufing.htm   (13043 words)

Explanation of A4 paper Another point is that with most paper weights now measured in gsm (grams per square metre), you can now easily work out the actual weight of a standard 2500-sheet box of 80gsm A4 paper: It works out at 12.5kg. The aspect ratio of the various sizes is fixed, so to move up or down to the next size, you multiply or divide by the square root of 2. For all this to work, the aspect ratio can only be one specific value, the square root of 2, or roughly 1.41:1, or 1:0.71. miller_dd.tripod.com /a4_paper.htm   (669 words)

Alvis OMC's RG-12 family grows by two Although developed for a specific police user in the Middle East, the RG- 12 command vehicle has significant potential for use in many other areas and by other users, because it enables the deployment of a full command facility under armour. The command suite fitted to this particular vehicle includes day/night video cameras on a 6 metre pneumatically operated telescopic mast, ruggedised computers, video monitors, a video recording capability and microwave transmitting equipment. RG-12 CAT consequently has vastly improved mobility enabling an even wider application. defence-data.com /dsei2003/dsei10020.htm   (402 words)
