	Measurement
		Measurement is the assignment of numbers to objects in such a way that physical relationships and operations among the objects correspond to arithmetic relationships and operations among the numbers.
		Different levels of measurement are defined by the number and kind of correspondences that hold between the physical relations among objects and the arithmetic relations among the scores.
		The different levels of measurement are distinguished by which arithmetic operations on the measured scores have counterparts in physical operations on the objects.

	NDE Associates, Inc. - Boiler Tube ID Oxide Scale: Measurement and RLA
		Oxide scale measurements should be performed at circumferential locations which are expected to have experienced the highest temperature.
		The thickest scale may be expected on tubes that are in the hottest sections of the boiler.
		Since the ID scale grows over a period of time, the life estimation is not done for a scale thickness value at a specific time.

	NWEA The Measurement Scale
		NWEA assessments use a measurement scale that has proven to be exceptionally stable and valid over time.
		Like meters or pounds, the scale is equal-interval, meaning that the distance between 170 and 182 is the same as the distance between 240 and 252.
		Like using a ruler to measure a child's growth in height, we use the RIT scale to measure a student’s academic growth over time.

	DOE SCiDAC Proposal : Bandwidth estimation: measurement methodologies and applications - CAIDA : PROJECTS : bwest
		Paxson observed that the distribution of bandwidth measurements is multimodal, and he elaborated on the identification and final selection of a capacity estimate from these modes [21].
		Better bandwidth measurement algorithms are needed by a large class of network applications, traffic engineers controlling path selection and service class differentiation, and users wanting to verify they are receiving the access bandwidth they expect.
		We will also pursue ways to correlate active measurements with passively collected data (timestamped packets) when the latter is available.

	Book: Scale Development - Theory and Applications
		Written at an accessible level, Scale Development guides the reader toward the identification of the latent variable, the generation of an item pool, the format for measurement, and the optimization of the scale length.
		As a result of this deficiency, the researcher must develop his or her own scale of measurement.
		Measurement -- the way researchers quantify the observations they have made about people, objects, events, or even processes -- is a fundamental activity of science.

	The current work presents experimental investigations carried out in order to understand in more detail the role of grain boun
		The resulting gray scale pattern on the surface of the specimen was recorded and reference coordinates for the different experimental methods (microtexture, metallography, microstrain determination) were fixed on the sample surface.
		Photogrametry is a method to determine the spatial distribution of microstrains at the sample surface by measurement of changes in the three dimensional plastic displacement field during a deformation experiment [1, 8].
		This is a digital image analysis method which is based on the recognition of geometrical changes in the gray scale distribution of surface patterns before and after straining [1, 8].

	Ancient Egypt Magazine - Vol 3 Issue 3
		The standard unit of linear measurement used by carpenters was the ‘royal cubit’, which was based on the length of a man’s forearm.
		Although these measurements were standardised, ‘royal cubit rods’ have been discovered, as one might expect, with an error of up to plus or minus 2 mm in overall length.
		The author has found that evidence of measurement can also be seen on other types of furniture where the ‘royal cubit’ or ‘short cubit’ were often used as the initial measure to determine either the length, width or height of a piece of furniture.

		The present genomic-scale measurement of mRNA turnover uncovered a regulatory logic that links gene function with mRNA half-life.
		The adjusted R-squared statistic, which is a measure of correlation between the observed data values and the predicted values from the linear model, shows how well a first-order kinetics model would describe the mRNA degradation rates.
		By measuring mRNA turnover rates comprehensively, we identified unexpected relationships between the function of a gene and its mRNA stability.

	Project 3.1
		The thermal properties include thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, emissivity and transmissivity, and they may need to be measured on a small scale, as in the case of semiconductors, or in-situ in situations where sample preparation is impractical.
		As part of the previous NMS programme, an experiment was developed to demonstrate accurate measurement of thermal diffusivity to 1.5% using photothermal radiometry, the most accurate measurement of this property to date.
		For example, the validity of a particular radiation-based thermometry measurement on gas turbine blades can be verified by checking the instrument against a LART instrument in a laboratory simulation of the blade environment.

	FRB Minneapolis Research Archive - Aggregate Returns to Scale: Why Measurement Is Imprecise
		In this article, we show that the production shocks implied by a range of returns to scale that encompasses both large increasing returns and large decreasing returns are almost identical.
		ABSTRACT: The extent to which there are aggregate returns to scale at the level of aggregate production has important implications both for the types of shocks generating business cycles and for optimal policy.
		However, prior attempts to measure the extent of these returns using instrumental variable techniques have yielded quite imprecise estimates.
