The pairing strength can be determined by measuring an energy gap, Δ, which equals 1.76kBTc in a standard BCS superconductor1.
The amount of moisture can be determined by measuring variations in the resistance of this layer.
The critical speed can be determined by measuring the rotation of the center of gravity.
The distance to the meteor can be determined by measuring the time lapse between the transmitted and reflected radar signals.
The age of a rock, for example, can be determined by measuring ratios of the parent element and its decay products.
The total amount of chloride in the specimen can be determined by measuring the 6 h charge passed from RCPT.
The age of the sedimentary deposits can be determined by measuring the paleomagnetic record in cave sediments and correlating it with the established geomagnetic polarity time scale.
Often the percentage of nitrogen in gas mixtures can be determined by measuring the volume after all other components have been absorbed by chemical reagents.
The relative electronegativities of the various atoms can be determined by measuring the polarities of the bonds involving the atoms in question.
The study: Colorado College professor Kristi Erdal and psychology student Christina Draganich tricked subjects into believing that the quality of their previous night's sleep could be determined by measuring their brain waves.
The composition of fuel gases and combustion products can be determined by measuring the changes in volume that occur when the sample is treated successively with reagents that specifically absorb such components as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, oxygen, and others.
