The "stilling well" isolates the level of the water without the interference of waves, and the position of a float measures the height of the water.
They suggest that it broke off a glacier in that area in early autumn 1911 and started off as a floating hunk measuring roughly 500m long and 300m deep.
The frequency and amplitude dependences of the dynamic Young's modulus and loss factor of polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene (PE) foams usable for impact sound isolation in floating floors, measured at room temperature, in the frequency range of 100-3000 Hz, and in the range of strain amplitude of 10-5-10-2 respectinely, are given in the paper.
The mouse was placed into the water and left for 6 min. The time spent floating was measured during the final 4 min of the trial.
TSA floated these measures in June last year in the form of voluntary guidelines for highway couriers.
A 7 Fr introducer was placed in the right internal jugular vein and a continuous cardiac output (CCO) pulmonary artery catheter equipped with fiber optics (Vigilance catheter, Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) was floated to measure CCO and SvO2.
Special details had to be designed, for these specific conditions, concerning leakages (in/out of the tank), anti-floating measures and underwater insulation which is stable at high temperatures.
Time-averaged ion energy distributions (IEDs) and time-resolved floating potentials were measured for a range of reverse times at electrodes immersed in a 60 kHz pulsed magnetron discharge, and compared to the DC condition.
A two-dimensional wave flume was used in the experiment; the incident and transmitted waves, the tensions on the mooring lines and the motion responses of the floating breakwaters were measured.
Backers of the legislation are floating a ballot measure in the wake of the failure.
As this manipulation resulted in an increase of floating scores, a measure of "behavioural despair," indicating a "prodepressant" effect of daily intraperitoneal injections for the experimental animals, we probed an alternative way of dosing using food pellets.
