The engineers in the Apollo program to send a man to the moon made many of their calculations on slide rules, which were accurate to 3 or 4 significant figures.
While producing the first logarithmic tables Napier needed to perform many multiplications and it was at this point that he designed Napier's bones.
Punched cards are still used and manufactured in the current century, and their distinctive dimensions (and 80-column capacity) can still be recognised in forms, records, and programs around the world.

In some events, the forecast flow or stage is beyond the uppermost value in the rating curve for that location.
Figure 2; it includes the portion of the rating curve based on previous (to the flood) observations of the USGS (noted as USGS Rating No. 18), the logarithmic extension within OFS used for forecasting by the NCRFC, and the extension of the rating based on the observations taken during the flood.
The streamflow simulation model currently deployed in the Red River of the North (Kansas City API) cannot provide an objective estimate of forecast uncertainty and is not compatible with ESP.

The Climate TimeLine, which was developed by NOAA staff in Boulder, Colo., is scheduled for launch this year on March 27 during the National Science Teachers Association's National Convention.
The conceptual design for the Climate TimeLine is based on the "powers of 10" framework for temporal scaling and causal forcing put forth by J. Murray Mitchell of NOAA's former Environmental Data Service in his 1976 article "An Overview of Climatic Variability and Its Causal Mechanisms" in Quarternary Research.
In July of 2002, the prototype of the Climate TimeLine was evaluated by Elizabeth Grassi and Heather Smith from the University of Colorado's College of Education who interviewed, observed and surveyed undergraduate, high school and middle school students along with climate experts and science teachers.

 Secure History Preservation through Timeline Entanglement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Timeline entanglement is a sound method to map a time step in the history of one service onto the timeline of another, and helps clients of entangled services to get persistent temporal proofs for services rendered that survive the demise or non-cooperation of the originating service.
Given the last authenticator in the timeline, to prove the existence of a state in the timeline's past I have to produce a one-way path--a sequence of applications of one-way functions--from that state to the current timeline authenticator.
Timeline entanglement is intended as an artificial enlargement of the class of usable, temporal orderings that clients within a service domain can determine undeniably.

The LOCI (Logarithmic Calculating Instrument), the first electronic scientific calculator introduced by Wang Laboratories in 1964 had to stand in the floor and supported multiple keyboards attached to them.
An Wang is normally associated with the invention of the ferrite core memory so widely used in early computers, this is a recount of his involvement in the development of the electronic calculators.
This logarithm was finally converted into the result by finding its antilogarithm value.

 Small-Satellite Costs
Mission timelines from approval to launch were on the order of 24 to 48 months, with an on-orbit life of 6 to 18 months.
Whereas small satellites had been unstabilized, battery-powered, single-frequency, store-and-forward spacecraft with limited applicability to operational space endeavors, the level of functionality achievable in small spacecraft took a dramatic leap forward in the early 1990s, mainly because of the availability of increased space-compatible computational power and memory.
Impaired missions or "near misses," such as the Mars Global Surveyor, contributed to the debate as well, and many wondered whether programs currently on the books or late in development were too ambitious for the time and money they had been allotted.

Current state-of-the-art can only distinguish a few brain states, so such interfaces usually are led by yes-no decisions.
These interfaces require training and are currently designed for users with "locked-in syndrome", who have paralysis so severe that a brain interface is one of their only means of communication.
The events are processed in a cycle called the "event loop" where the oldest event in the buffer is interpreted and quickly processed, then the event handler is revisited for the next event.

That is, he is the first to observe that stars apparently move compared to the positions of other stars, by comparing current observations with the star tables of Hipparchus and Ptolemy.
That is, neither the base of natural logarithms nor its square can be written as the ratio of two whole numbers.
To put it yet another way, both numbers cannot be represented as either a finite number of decimal places, or an infinite number of decimal places which repeat, but can only be represented by an infinite non-repeating decimal.

So if you were a practitioner of both trendline and timeline methods, when the slowing occurred in March 2004 you could have chosen to either hang on at around the 20% level until the trendline break, or switch to another stock with a (hopefully) faster growth curve.
It seems to me that the Timeline approach is a simple system to alert a shareholder when a share is going sideways or growth is flattening.
I think both timeline and trendline are quite simple and certainly common sense and I just want to understand if I'm using them correctly or if there's more to it.

The neper is often used to express voltage and current ratios, whereas the decibel is usually used to express power ratios.

The convergence that is the leitmotif of all these developments is perhaps best signalized by one event in particular: the sudden collapse of boundaries between LANs and WANs (necessitating the invention of "firewalls" and other means of reasserting that boundary for security reasons).
As evidenced by the logarithmic increase in nodes, users, and uses during the '70's and '80's, the Internet concept was highly successful—so successful, indeed, that it rapidly outgrew its original military framework (a separate military MILnet split off in 1983).
Much of the current story of the Internet, therefore, has to do not only with its outreach to such previously underconnected portions of the research-and-education community as humanities departments and undergraduates but with the creation of CIX, CommerceNet, MecklerWeb, and other commercial extensions of the Net.
