The phrase "absolute duration" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing time measurement, particularly in scientific or philosophical discussions about the nature of time.
Example: "In physics, the concept of absolute duration is essential for understanding the relationship between time and space."
Alternatives: "total duration" or "fixed duration".
This may turn out to be, in terms of absolute duration, one of the shorter recessions, and it may turn out to be one of the mildest.
Estimates, however, often are made, including those of absolute duration in which an activity is appreciated as brief or prolonged.
Under the influence of hallucinogens (e.g., marijuana, mescaline, LSD), subjects tend to estimate absolute duration as very long.
Measures of absolute duration and variability in single vowel productions were extracted to evaluate the realization of contrasts (representation) and to index speech motor abilities (execution).
It is in reality made almost redundant because the symbol for a note gives the necessary information itself: not its absolute duration but its duration in relation to the notes around it.
The speech experiment shows that the acceptability for the same amount of absolute change decreased with an increase in speaking rate, i.e., the listeners more sensitively responded to the same absolute duration change when the speaking rate was fast than when it was slow.
Thus, the absolute durations of shots and scenes, and the extent of motion, the amounts of luminance and clutter, and measures of shot scale can have no role in results showing long-range dependence and their possible changes over time.
Nevertheless, we are aware that these intervals are not absolute durations (e.g., hours), but their qualitative relationships are important.
This model predicts that the effect of a gap should depend solely on absolute gap duration, but not on criterion duration, as found here (Fig. 1B-D).
Cycles were quantified in terms of their: relative and absolute amplitude; duration; time to maximum concentration; asymmetry; percentile flow and in-stream residence time.
Each of the 16 variables was expressed with respect to normalized rather than absolute (ms) duration, and was then resampled at intervals of 10% of the normalized movement time.
