 Weierstrass's elliptic functions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sigma-function has zeroes at all the period points (only), and can be expressed in terms of Jacobi's functions.
Further development of the theory of elliptic functions shows that the condition on Weierstrass's function (correctly called pe) is determined up to addition of a constant and multiplication by a non-zero constant by the condition on the poles alone, amongst all meromorphic functions with the given period lattice.
Riemann surface, and regard the elliptic functions associated to a given pair of periods to be functions defined on that Riemann surface.

 PERIOD - Definition
Note : The period, according to Heyse, is a compound sentence consisting of a protasis and apodosis ; according to Becker, it is the appropriate form for the co [" o ] rdinate propositions related by antithesis or causality.
Periods are beautiful when they are not too long.
Hence : A stated and recurring interval of time ; more generally, an interval of time specified or left indefinite ; a certain series of years, months, days, or the like ; a time ; a cycle ; an age ; an epoch ; as, the period of the Roman republic.

 Norfolk Southern Reports Second-Quarter, First-Half Results
For the quarter, the railway operating ratio improved 2.5 percentage points to 79.8 percent compared with 82.3 percent in the same period of 2001.
For the comparable period of 2001, net income was $181 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, and included an after-tax gain of $13 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, related to the 1998 sale of Norfolk Southern's former trucking subsidiary.
Railway operating expenses were $1.27 billion for the quarter, down three percent compared to second quarter 2001, and $2.53 billion for the first six months, down four percent compared to the first half of last year.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ratio Studiorum
Some writers have asserted that the Ratio prescribed Latin because it was the language of the Church, and of political and scholarly intercourse of former centuries, and that for this reason the perfect mastery of Latin, the acquisition of a Ciceronian style, was the primary aim of Jesuit education.
From this it is clear that it is not the intention of the Society to make the Ratio Studiorum stationary and binding in every detail; on the contrary, it is intended that the educational system of the order shall adapt itself to the exigencies of the times.
All these men were trained under the Ratio, and, though it would be puerile to claim all their greatness for the system of education, one thing is certain, namely that the Ratio did not crush the originality and individuality of these pupils, whether members of the order of outside it.

 Electric Field-Induced Changes in Lipids Investigated by Modulated Excitation FTIR Spectroscopy -- Schwarzott et al. 86 (1): 285 -- Biophysical Journal
Due to the slow heat exchange in the transmission cell the modulation period had to be extended from 0.8 s in case of E-ME to 10.68 min for T-ME. The temperature was modulated by ± 0.2° around the mean value of 28.4°C, i.e., just within the range of uncertainty of the temperature control.
Always after eight scans the relay (S) was switched alternatively on and off, controlled by a TTL signal produced in the spectrometer, thus connecting the cell periodically to the stimulating potential.
period of the T-ME measurements was 10.68 min.

 The Sharpe Ratio
In the original applications of the ratio, where the benchmark is taken to be a one- period riskless asset, the differential return represents the payoff from a unit investment in the fund, financed by borrowing.
While such a "return information ratio" may be useful as a descriptive statistic, it lacks a number of the key properties of what might be termed a "differential return information ratio" and may in some instances lead to wrong decisions.
For completeness, it should be noted that Treynor and Black used the term appraisal ratio to refer to what we term here the SR of a component and the term Sharpe Ratio to refer to the SR of the portfolio, although other authors have used the latter term for both the portfolio and its components.

Then when a tree or an animal dies, no more C-14 goes in, and the ratio of "normal" C-12 to C-14 starts to change by the built-in radioactivity clock.
A much more accurate method has replaced it, which uses a mass spectrometer to directly count the ratio of C-14 to C-12, and precisely date the item to within 1%.

 III - 2004 - First Half Results
Gains in insurer investment performance during the first half were driven by a combination of higher interest rates, small gains in the stock market, the realization of accumulated capital gains from prior periods and by an increase in invested assets boosted by improved cash flow.
The fact that the industry’s average return on surplus is an estimated 13.1 percent, despite a combined ratio of just 94.4 during the first half, is a stark reminder that a renewed commitment to underwriting and pricing discipline are needed if the industry hopes to maintain Fortune 500 rates in 2005.
The first half combined ratio of 94.4, put insurers on a trajectory toward the best underwriting performance since the early 1950s and the year’s underwriting profit seemed destined to reach an all time record of approximately $18 billion (annualizing the 6-month result of $9.0 billion).

 FDIC: BIF Assessment Rates for the Second Seminannual Assessment Period of 2002
This would comport with the intent of this provision of section 7 that the FDIC be given one year (i.e., two semiannual periods) to increase the reserve ratio to the designated reserve ratio without being required to impose the minimum assessment of 23 basis points.
These factors directly affect the reserve ratio prospectively and thus are considered as elements of the requirement to set rates to maintain the reserve ratio at the target DRR.
Overall, the supervisory subgroup assignment was upgraded since the previous period for 118 institutions with an assessment base of $18.5 billion and was downgraded for 157 institutions with an assessment base of $33 billion.

 American Re Reports Second Quarter and First Half Results
The subsidiaries' GAAP combined ratio was 100.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 100.7% for the same period in 1997.
The Company attributes this increase in its combined ratio for the 1998 period to an increase in the other underwriting expense ratio, which occurred primarily as a result of the decrease in premiums earned.
The Company's GAAP combined ratio was 102.2% for the second quarter of 1998, compared to 100.5% for 1997.

 Shirky: A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy
There are, however, I think, about half a dozen things that are broadly true of all the groups I've looked at and all the online constitutions I've read for software that supports large and long-lived groups.
But it was my original interest, so I've been looking at this problem in one way or another for 10 years, and I've been looking at it pretty hard for the a year and a half or so.
Assume these as a kind of social platform, and then you can start going out and building on top of that the interesting stuff that I think is going to be the real result of this period of experimentation with social software.

In this diagram the escapement gear has 120 teeth, the pendulum has a period of half a second and the second hand is connected directly to the escapement gear.
As discussed in How Gear Ratios Work, you can create a high-ratio gear train that causes the drum to make perhaps one turn every six to 12 hours.
Each gear in the weight's gear train has an 8:1 ratio, so the full train's ratio is 492:1.

Following the same logic, which led to the formula (1.1), we should to announce the ratio of amplitude of displacement of a pendulum to the period of its oscillations as the average speed of its motion, but it is absurdity.
Simultaneously, the same motions in outer space, as mutually relative ones, are opposite-directed; and one revolution of the electron is equivalent to one-half period (Fig.
Two (coinciding in our case) states of the beginning and the end of the period is the inherent feature of any periodic functions without which there is no period.

 How to find signals in noise using estimation
By the way, in case you're wondering, the noise in Figure 1 hides a unit-amplitude, half-cycle sine wave; the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is "2.45dB.
The average error of the estimate decreases as a power of the number of samples and also decreases with increasing signal-to-noise ratio.
Figure 1's peak amplitude, estimated using the techniques presented in this article, is 0.986 with an error of 1.4%.
