Precise measurements of the Earth-Moon distance by the lunar laser ranging (LLR), which begun in the early 1970's, contributed significantly to geodesy, geophysics, and lunar planetology, as well as enabled astrophysicists to perform several fine tests of the relativistic gravitational field theory (General Relativity).
To Drechsler, a former junior national champion, Olympic weight lifting remains the finest test of strength ever devised.
After the human genome sequence was achieved in 2003, Dr. Stefansson quickly realized that Iceland's excellent medical records, combined with the genealogical information available on its close-knit population, provided a fine test bed for seeking the roots of genetically complex diseases like cancer, diabetes and schizophrenia.
As discussed in the Methods section, the available data on payoffs and handling times do not allow for a fine-grained test of either the zero one rule, or the hypothesis that changes in the encounter rate with higher-ranked car types impact the inclusion of lower ranked car types in an offender's 'diet'diet
The other vectograms of the test provide finer tests for stereoscopic acuity.
The islands have produced some of the finest test match cricketers in the history of the game: from Sir Viv Richards, whose 20-year-old record, for the fastest test match century ever, still holds, to Richie Richardson and Curtly Ambrose.
Dr. King said the move to longer testing times was part of the state's efforts to fine-tune tests of student performance.
I didn't get anywhere near 80 mph, but that was fine for a quick test of the new system.
In an attempt to also capture atypical presentations of PD (estimated at 20%), we also included items of postural tremor of the hands and finger tapping as a test of fine motor dexterity.
