  Depth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Depth may describe any of a number of different concepts both abstract and concrete, and such concepts can be either qualitative or quantitative in nature.
In photography/optical physics the depth of field describes a range, the distance in front of and behind the subject, which appears to be in focus.
In sports, depth is a measure of the ability of a team or an individual to continue high performance under adverse circumstances.

 Depth charge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Depth Charge used by U.S. Navy late in World War II The depth charge is the oldest anti-submarine weapon.
Although the explosions of the standard 600-pound depth charge used in World War II were nerve-wracking to the target, an undamaged U-boat’s pressure hull would not rupture unless the charge detonated closer than about five meters.
Many survived hundreds of depth charge detonations over a period of many hours; U-427 survived 678 depth charge blasts aimed at her in April, 1945, though many (if not all!) of these may have actually detonated nowhere near the target.

 Computations of stereoscopic base and depth of field
The depth of field of a digital camera with a lens of the 1:N focal length equivalence ratio at a given F-setting is the same as that of a 35 mm camera with a lens closed down to the aperture number of F multiplied by N."
The remarkable increase in depth of field obtained from a small format camera at macro distances was a shock to me and means I may return to the Nikon 4500 for macro work, even though it is a pain to use compared with the Canon.
This means depth of field is proportional to the square of the pixel size and inversely proportional to the square of the magnification.

 The Depth Psychotherapy Network - About Us
Depth psychotherapy, or what James Bugental (1987) refers to as "life-changing therapy," is a collection of approaches to therapy which values self-awareness (insight), life-long growth, and life changes which reach the depth of a person's experience.
Depth psychotherapy can be compared with the solution-focused therapies, which focus on coping, adjustment, skill development, and quick change.
Furthermore, depth psychotherapy is committed to improving the overall quality of life in ways consistent with the consumer's values and desires.

 SOFIA - Paper - Carbonate Porosity Versus Depth: A Predictable Relation for South Florida - Porosity Versus Depth
The constant 41.73 represents initial porosity at the surface, and is at the lower end of the porosity range of modem carbonate sediments (Enos and Sawatsky, 1981), indicating that near-surface processes did not greatly affect original pore space (Halley and Schmoker, in prep.
The average porosity of producing intervals in the Sunniland Limestone is about 18% and the average producing depth is 11,500 ft (3,500 m) (Feitz, 1976; Tyler and Erwin, 1976).
Representative empirical curves of porosity versus depth for chalks (Scholle, 1977; Lockridge and Scholle, 1978) and for deep-sea calcareous sediments (Schlanger and Douglas, 1974; Hamilton, 1976) are shown in Figure 6.

Some examples of data depth are Halfspace Depth [6], Simplicial Depth [2], the Convex Hull Peeling Depth [7] and Regression depth [5] (which is the depth of a hyperplane relative to a set of points).
Depth contours, constructed by enclosing all points of depth d or higher, are especially powerful for visualizing and quantifying data.

 SOFIA - Paper - Carbonate Porosity Versus Depth: A Predictable Relation for South Florida - Depth Versus Age
In zones of depth overlap, the older unit is more porous than the younger unit in three cases, the older unit is less porous in two cases, and in one case there is essentially no porosity difference.
Furthermore, porosity differences in zones of depth overlap are within the expected range of scatter indicated by the standard error of estimate.
Thus, there is no systematic porosity difference between older and younger carbonate rocks at equal depths, which suggests that the porosity decrease shown in Figure 5 is primarily a function of depth rather than of time.

 Definition of Depth Migration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
The study of physics concerned with the propagation of elastic waves within the earth is key to the petroleum industry, because geophysical measurements can be used to make estimates of hydrocarbon accumulations in subsurface reservoirs.
Emanating from a source at the surface, the seismic disturbance travels through the earth, encoding properties of the rocks encountered along its travel path in the wavelet and in the arrival time at various receiver stations.
A key element of any depth migration algorithm is the so-called velocity model, which describes essentially the propagation velocity of the seismic disturbance.

 Stereophile: MartinLogan Depth powered subwoofer
The Depth uses the company's patented "TriLinear" technology, where three small drivers are used to move the same amount of air as a single driver three times the size.
The flattest response was obtained with the Depth's low-pass filter set to 30Hz, the phase to 90 degrees, the 25Hz boost to +6, and the subwoofer output level to 2.6 (fig.2).
Changing to "2-channel mode with 2-channel output," I set the Depth's high-pass filter to 40Hz, the low-pass filter to 30Hz, the phase to 90 degrees, the 25Hz boost to 3.1, and the level control to 3.0, which produced the room response shown in fig.3.

With this goal in mind, an accurate depth sensor is essential in both ensuring the safety of the vehicle with regards to the water area floor and to providing feedback to the guidance system for adjustments to the vertical thrusters.
This depth sensor design allows the depth sensor to be directly in contact with the body of water, and it gives some flexibility to where it can be attached on the vehicle.

If drought or heat are serious problems try shading the garden, or laying down a layer of loose mulch, something light enough that it won't impede the emergence of the seedlings.
Put several of the seeds on a flat surface and get an idea of how high they sit; plant the seeds roughly three or four times this measure into the soil.
Chances are good that, at such a planting depth, a fair number of the seeds will either be deep enough or shallow enough to do the trick.

It should be noted that an 8x10 inch print has long been considered the standard by which most lens manufacturers base their depth of field guidemarks on.
Without going into the physics involved, this apparent depth of field is due to an optical phenomena called circle of least confusion.
The same factors that affect depth of field in film cameras apply to digital cameras too: aperture f-stop, focus distance, lens focal length, film format (essentially the size of the 'light recording area' whether a piece of film or an electronic sensor), and of course, the final print size (traditionally, 8x10 inch).
