orders of magnitude   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Thus the order of magnitude of 400 is 2. The order of magnitude of a number may also be defined as the exponent of the power of 10 when the number is represented using scientific notation. For example, an accurate order of magnitude estimate for the human population of the Earth in the year 2000 is 10 billion. www.yourencyclopedia.net /Orders_of_magnitude.html   (541 words)

Encyclopedia: Orders of magnitude (time) An order of magnitude is the class of scale or magnitude of any amount, where each class contains values of a fixed ratio to the class preceding it. A yoctosecond is an SI unit of time equal to one septillionth (10-24) of a second. Orders of magnitude (time) The geologic timescale is used by geologists and other scientists to describe the timing and relationships between events that have occured during the history of the Earth. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Orders-of-magnitude-(time)   (2262 words)

Extremely low frequency (ELF) fields (EHC 35, 1984) In order to relate biological findings from in vitro and in vivo studies on experimental animals to human beings, it is recommended that dosimetry studies should be continued to measure and relate external electric field strengths and internal current density distributions in the whole body of both animals and human beings. The magnitude of these internal currents is determined by the radius of the current path, the frequency of the magnetic field, and its intensity at the location within the body. The magnitude of the current density is also influenced by the conductivity of the tissues, and the exact paths of the current flow depend in a complicated way on the conducting properties of tissues. www.inchem.org /documents/ehc/ehc/ehc35.htm   (16436 words)

Source Parameters of the 15 November 1995 Border Town, Nevada, Earthquake Sequence Although an order of magnitude variation in static stress drop was observed in that study over a range of magnitudes, earthquakes recorded on the deep borehole instrument confirm the contribution of near-surface attenuation in source scaling relationships. For instance, as the magnitude decreases and the corner frequency increases for a Brune (1970) source spectrum with a constant static stress-drop, the effect of kappa is to cause the spectrum to roll off at frequencies less than the corner frequency. Moment magnitudes are systematically a tenth of a magnitude unit smaller at station BRD1 than BRD2, possibly from the assumption in radiation pattern that depends on the location of the stations with respect to the fault plane geometry. www.seismo.unr.edu /htdocs/WGB/BorderTown95   (6795 words)

Time   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) The standard unit for time is the SI second, from which larger units are defined like the minute, hour, day, week, month, year, decade, and century. There are several continuous time scales in current use: Universal Time, International Atomic Time (TAI), which is the basis for other time scales, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is the standard for civil time, Terrestrial Time (TT), etc. Mankind has invented calendars to track the passages of days, weeks, months, and years.

Chemical Ionization Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer Thus, the measurement of many complex organic compounds with the triple requires scanning a daughter, or at least part of a daughter ion spectrum, for each compound to be measured. This means that hundreds of individual measurements of mass need to be made to track several compounds, so less than 1% of the total measurement time can be spent on any one mass. However, to identify and measure the organic molecules present in 2-10 nm particles is orders of magnitude more time consuming. acd.ucar.edu /~jimsmith/POP/instruments_files/ion_trap.htm   (432 words)

Common Sense Rules of the Road: Orders of Magnitude   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) To accommodate the interim period before orders are relayed to the inpatient nurse, many emergency physicians write "holding orders" to facilitate the transition. Holding orders should also instruct the nurse to call the physician responsible and obtain admission orders within a specified time frame and beforehand should there be any change in the patient's condition. If admission orders arrive on the floor along with the patient, there may be a reluctance to "bother" the attending and, thus, a missed opportunity to prevent error due to false assumptions. www.aaem.org /commonsense/rules16.shtml   (789 words)

Orders of Magnitude, Chapter 5 By the time these flights concluded in 1964, the lifting body concept, despite its oddball history, seemed to be worth pursuing. By the time that the X-24A test flights ended (196971), designers had complete confidence in the ability of the space shuttle to land on a conventional runway at the end of a space mission. Time after time over the years, test firings of promising configurations had to be stopped prematurely when radiation corrosion took its toll. www.informationuniverse.com /ordersmag/chapt5.htm   (7522 words)

Orders of magnitude (power) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They are grouped by orders of magnitude, and each section covers three orders of magnitude, or a factor of one thousand. For reference, about 10,000 100-watt lightbulbs or 2,000 computer systems would be needed to draw 1 megawatt. Modern high-powered diesel-electric railroad locomotives typically have a peak power output of 3–5 MW, whereas a typical modern nuclear power plant produces on the order of 500–2000 MW peak output. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(power)   (961 words)

Scanning Probe Microscopes, SPM and AFM Manufacturer - QUESANT - Digital Instruments This phenomenon is generally called Creep or Drift, and continues to occur over at least seven orders of magnitude in time. While the degree of drift may be only a few percent in one decade of time, it makes the difference between a precision instrument and one that is useful only for crude measurements. The response to an arbitrary voltage waveform is given by the convolution of the PZT response and the applied voltage. www.quesant.com /Library/Technotes/T5.htm   (1048 words)

Orders of Magnitude, Summary There was also concern stemming from various studies that noted the constraining effects that seemed endemic to large bureaucracies, as well as the demographic realities of a work force--heavily recruited in the 1960s--that might lose its sense of adventure as the time for retirement loomed. In 1990, the 75th anniversary of its origins as the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, NASA nonetheless appears to be on a steady course. At the same time, use of expendable launch vehicles have picked up, evidence that NASA planners are serious in attempting to broaden their options for getting payloads into orbit. www.hq.nasa.gov /office/pao/History/SP-4406/summary.html   (813 words)

System Level Simulation of Mixed-signal Multi-domain Microsystems with Piecewise Linear Behavioral Models Table 1 shows system simulation time as a function of both the optical mesh resolution and the number of PWL segments in the ribbons. The mechanical subsystem time includes the initialization of the MNA as well as the solution times for the entire movement for the 2.4ms stimulus. What is interesting to note is the range of the simulation times: 3 seconds for the 5-element, 128x128 case to 168 seconds for the 41-element, 512x512 case and the commensurate increase in fidelity of the resulting optical waveforms. www.nsti.org /procs/Nanotech2003v1/11/M24.03   (794 words)

Parallel numerical kernels for climate models   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) Climate models solve the initial value problem of integrating forward in time the state of the components of the planetary climate system. While the dynamics itself is the same for a wide variety of problems, resolutions and lengths of integration vary over several orders of magnitude of time and space scales. Efficient integration for different problems require different representations of the basic numerical kernels, which may also be a function of the underlying computer architecture on which the simulations are done. www.gfdl.noaa.gov /~vb/papers/kernels.html   (189 words)

Time-of-flight spectrometers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) NBS is intrinsically a time-of -flight technique and therefore particularly suited for operation at a high flux pulsed neutron source. It is however adapted, as required, to the technical parameters of the pulsed source, in order to essentially make full use of the peak flux of the latter. It is possible to install a pulse-frequency reduction chopper optionally after the sample position, in order to adapt the length of the time-of-flight period for the multidetector. www.ati.ac.at /austron/instruments/tof_spec.html   (2805 words)
