Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For example, for a scale model of an object, the ratio of corresponding lengths is a dimensionless scale, e.g. a map of scale 1:50,000 shows a distance of 50,000 cm (=500 m) as 1 cm on a map, and a model on a scale 1:25 of a building with a height of 30 m has a model height of 1.20 m. Correspondingly, torques could be represented on the same map by areas in a scale of 1 m² : 12 500 Nm, which is equal to 1 m : 12 500 N. Torques in the plane of the map could be represented by arrows with an independent scale of e.g. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Scale_(measurement)   (469 words)

Scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Torino Scale and the Palermo scale measure the impact hazard level of near-Earth objects such as asteroids.

GUIDE TO MAP SCALE Scale is defined as the ratio of the distance on a map to the corresponding distance on the surface the map represents.

Tk Built-In Commands - scale manual page For vertical scales this is the scale's height; for horizontal scales it is the scale's width. For vertical scales this is the trough's width; for horizontal scales this is the trough's height. This command is invoked to change the current value of the scale, and hence the position at which the slider is displayed. www.tcl.tk /man/tcl8.4/TkCmd/scale.htm   (1411 words)

Scale Pests of Florida Citrus The armor of the adult female purple scale is 2 to 3 mm long, purple to dark brown in color, elongated, and usually curved in the shape of a comma. The scales appear to prefer fruit to leaves in the late summer and fall, and the fruit may be heavily infested while adjacent leaves are relatively free of any infestation. When determining the population of armored scales in the grove, it is important to remember that the armor of dead scales will stay on the tree for some time and confuse the living scale count. edis.ifas.ufl.edu /BODY_CH059   (4364 words)

Oilfield Glossary: Term 'scale' Scale is caused by a precipitation due to a chemical reaction with the surface, precipitation caused by chemical reactions, a change in pressure or temperature, or a change in the composition of a solution. Scale deposition occurs when the solution equilibrium of the water is disturbed by pressure and temperature changes, dissolved gases or incompatibility between mixing waters. Typical scales are calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, strontium sulfate, iron sulfide, iron oxides, iron carbonate, the various silicates and phosphates and oxides, or any of a number of compounds insoluble or slightly soluble in water. www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com /Display.cfm?Term=scale   (293 words)

UC IPM: UC Management Guidelines for California Red Scale and Yellow Scale on Citrus California red scale and yellow scale are armored scales that are distributed throughout the citrus-growing regions of the state except in parts of the Coachella Valley where they are under an eradication program. California red scale attacks all aerial parts of the tree including twigs, leaves, branches, and fruit by sucking on the plant tissue with their long, filamentous mouthparts. Yellow scale, however, is rarely found on mature wood of the tree whereas California red scale can be found on the wood as well as on fruit and leaves. www.ipm.ucdavis.edu /PMG/r107301111.html   (3474 words)

How Are Earthquake Magnitudes Measured? Using this scale, a magnitude 5 earthquake would result in ten times the level of ground shaking as a magnitude 4 earthquake (and 32 times as much energy would be released). The Mercalli scale isn't considered as scientific as the Richter scale, though. Scientists have now made other "magnitude" scales, all calibrated to Richter's original method, to use a variety of seismographs and measure the depths of earthquakes of all sizes. www.geo.mtu.edu /UPSeis/intensity.html   (471 words)

The Pitch and Scale of the Great Highland Bagpipe The study of musical scales and tunings has a long and distinguished history in mathematics, acoustics and perceptual psychology, and any good textbook on musical acoustics or the psychology of music will address this subject and give pointers to more material. A scale formed in this way has unique and interesting melodic properties, particularly when one considers the various pentatonic scales which can be derived from it (Piping Times, October 1997).
