Height, mean

The height of the "d" also has significance. A short d-stem height means you re very independent in the way you think and in the way you make decisions. If it s really, really tall, it means you have a high dose of pride, dignity, self-respect, or even vanity. People with tall skinny d-stems tend to dress very sharp. Tall skinny d-stems indicate a preoccupation with their "image." Yet the same person often doesn t give a flip about the criticism from just one individual. 

A procedure for empirical computation of significant wave height, mean wave period and wavelength, and an empirical energy spectrum of wind waves is introduced. 

For moldmaking, the increase in height means a smaller draft angle a and more difficulty (higher mold cost) in making (polishing) the rib so that it will easily release from the mold. 

Work at height means work in any place where, if there were no precautions in place, a person could fall a distance liable to cause personal injury. You are working at height if you ... 

Riser height means the vertical distance from the top of a tread to the top of the next higher tread or platform/landing or the distance from the top of a platform/landing to the top of the next higher tread or platform/landing. 

Qualitatively, it is observed that the mercury surface initially is positively charged, and on reducing this charge by means of an applied potential, it is found that the height of the mercury column and hence Ae interfacial tension... 

The capillary rise on a Wilhelmy plate (Section II-6C) is a nice means to obtain contact angles by measurement of the height, h, of the meniscus on a partially immersed plate (see Fig. 11-14) [111, 112]. Neumann has automated this technique to replace manual measurement of h with digital image analysis to obtain an accuracy of 0.06° (and a repeatability to 95%, in practice, of 0.01°) [108]. The contact angle is obtained directly from the height through... 

Table 2.26a lists the height of an ordinate (Y) as a distance z from the mean, and Table 2.26b the area under the normal curve at a distance z from the mean, expressed as fractions of the total area, 1.000. Returning to Fig. 2.10, we note that 68.27% of the area of the normal distribution curve lies within 1 standard deviation of the center or mean value. Therefore, 31.73% lies outside those limits and 15.86% on each side. Ninety-five percent (actually 95.43%) of the area lies within 2 standard deviations, and 99.73% lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean. Often the last two areas are stated slightly different viz. 95% of the area lies within 1.96cr (approximately 2cr) and 99% lies within approximately 2.5cr. The mean falls at exactly the 50% point for symmetric normal distributions. 

This shows that Schlieren optics provide a means for directly monitoring concentration gradients. The value of the diffusion coefficient which is consistent with the variation of dn/dx with x and t can be determined from the normal distribution function. Methods that avoid the difficulty associated with locating the inflection point have been developed, and it can be shown that the area under a Schlieren peak divided by its maximum height equals (47rDt). Since there are no unknown proportionality factors in this expression, D can be determined from Schlieren spectra measured at known times. 

In many situations, however, especially when m > 1, the results using the simpler equation 54 are virtually the same. The required tower height is finally calculated by means of equation 47.
