  Ground (electricity) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ground wire is also usually bonded to pipework to keep it at the same potential as the electrical ground during a fault.
This signal ground may or may not actually be connected to a power ground.
During dry weather, the ground connection often developed a high resistance, requiring water to be poured on the ground rod to enable the telegraph to work or phones to ring.

 Ground (electricity)
An electrical connection to earth via an earth-electrode which can be as simple as a metallic ground rod or stake driven into the earth, a connection to buried metal water piping, or an extensive system of buried rods and wires.
In an electrical circuit, a common return path that usually (a) is connected to an earth-electrode subsystem and (b) is extended throughout a facility via a facility ground system consisting of the signal reference subsystem, the fault protection subsystem, and the lightning protection subsystem.
Grounding is primarily used for safety to prevent electric shock or fires started from a voltage potential existing between the earth and a conductor such as an appliance cabinet or chassis.

 Ground loop (electricity)
In an electrical system, ground loop refers to an unwanted current that flows in a conductor connecting two points that are nominally at the same potential, i.e., ground, but are actually at different potentials.
Ground loops can be detrimental to the intended operation of the electrical system.
Sometimes, performers remove the grounding pin from the electrical wiring to avoid ground loops, however, this creates an electrocution risk; the correct solution is to use isolation transformers,opto-isolators or baluns to avoid a direct electrical connection between the different grounds.

 6.1.1 Determination of the Depth/Structure/Fracture of Bedrock
To determine the elastic constants, the shear wave and compressional wave velocities have to be measured.
One method of putting shear wave energy into the ground is to put a long piece of wood on the ground and hold it to the ground by placing the wheels of a vehicle on top of the wood.
By striking the ground surface with a light hammer, a transient stress wave is created, including surface or Rayleigh waves, which are registered by two transducers placed in line with the impact point on the ground surface at fixed separations.

Grounding a sentence increases the number of evaluable literals, but in some cases the benefit of pruning more than offsets the cost of grounding in terms of complexity of the resulting sentence.
Attempt 1: The first attempt was to apply existential and universal grounding to all of the sentences, then convert the result to clausal form and pass the result to the theorem prover.
As the universal grounding is only done after the sentences are in clausal form, the second pass through the D step is at most O(k^n) where k is the number of constants of the given type and n is the number of literals in the longest clause.

Abstract: Ground gravity data from equal-area blocks covering the Earth and from selected calibration areas are used to estimate parameters of an analytic expression of the covariance function.
Constants: Gravity in calibration area must be in IGSN71 and associated heights must be in a well defined datum.
Ground data: gravity anomalies, gravity disturbances, deflections of the vertical, height-anomalies from GPS and levelling.

 MLF high resolution UV spectroscopy
These constants are directly related to the geometrical structures in both states, giving access to information about intramolecular bond lengths, and in the case of a molecular complexes, intermolecular bond lengths and their changes upon excitation.
The analysis of the rotational constants of the cluster yielded an O--O distance of the hydrogen bond of 2.93 angstrom in the ground state and 2.89 angstrom in the electronically excited state.
The rotational constants for the excited states are found to be A = 3231.795 MHz, B = 2207.92 MHz and C = 1313.97 MHz for the A band and A = 3226.945 MHz, B = 2211.24 MHz and C = 1321.03 MHz for the B band.

 The Sherrill Group: Research: DFT for Spectroscopic Constants
This work is the first systematic examination of the reliability of DFT for higher-order (anharmonic) constants of ground states comparing several different density functionals with several different basis sets to experiment and to higher-level (coupled-cluster) theory.
For ground states, density functional theory was found to give reliable predictions of the spectroscopic constants, including those depending on anharmonic terms in the potential energy function.
Predictions of equilibrium properties are not as accurate for excited states as for ground states, as shown in figures 2-4.

 Alyx Antenna Guide - A Guide to Antenna Selection
The radiation pattern in the elevation plane is strongly influenced by the presence of the ground beneath the antenna as the radiated signal is the sum of the signal radiated directly from the antenna and that reflected by the ground.
The effect of ground depends on various factors such as the electrical constant of the ground, height of the antenna above ground, antenna polarization, geometry of the ground screen and take-off angle.
A vertically polarized antenna, for example, may require a ground screen, and the nature of the terrain immediately around the antenna under which the ground screen must be buried may influence the exact placement and manner of installation of the antenna.

 Correspondence on polarization for mm-wave holography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This is a rather hand-waving argument that claims to suggest that, as far as rejecting the reflection of the holography transmitter from the ground is concerned, vertical polarization is indeed a little better than circular.
For a perfectly conducting ground, RH circularly waves either at normal incidence or at near-grazing incidence will be reflected predominantly as LH circular.
For typical values of real ground electrical constants, Brewster's angle is around 20 degrees elevation angle, although of course it does vary with different ground properties.

Computations are based on a dielectric constant of the ground (referred to air as unity) equal to 15 for land and 80 for sea water and for the ground conductivities (expressed in mS/m) given on the curves.
The value of the inverse distance field to be used for a particular antenna depends upon the power input to the antenna, the nature of the ground in the neighborhood of the antenna, and the geometry of the antenna.
For other values of dielectric constant, the following procedure may be used to determine the dielectric constant of the ground, the ground conductivity and the inverse distance field strength at 1 kilometer.

 Mining - Ground Support
In elastic deformation, there are various constants that relate the magnitude of the strain response to the applied stress.
numerical constant, named for the 18th-century English physician and physicist Thomas Young, that describes the elastic properties of a solid undergoing tension or compression in only one direction, as in the case of a metal rod that after being stretched or compressed lengthwise returns to its original length.
Young's modulus is meaningful only in the range in which the stress is proportional to the strain, and the material returns to its original dimensions when the external force is removed.

The preservation of this ground state hydrogen bond implies that the chromophore's aromatic head group has not moved significantly, which is only possible if the isomerization takes place by flipping not the aromatic ring, but the thioester linkage between the chromophore and the protein.
The hydrogen bonds of the PYP ground state are preserved in the cryotrapped intermediate and are indicated by red dots.

Specific interactions of an enzyme with the functional groups of the substrates might not be apparent at the ground state, but are revealed at the transition state (Jencks, 1975; Fersht, 1985).
Substrate destabilization by electrostatic repulsion in the ground state, which is relieved in the transition state by charge redistribution, has been demonstrated in the Tetrahymena ribozyme (Narlikar et al., 1995).
However, the influence of different metal ions on the magnitude of base preference leaves open the possibility that a metal ion is interacting with the scissile phosphate or the ribose at the -1 position, and that this interaction is affected indirectly by base identity.

The final corrected count rates are converted to equivalent ground concentrations using the sensitivities acquired during the calibration.
