Gassendi's close interests in observation also led to employing the camera obscura to gauge variations in the apparent diameter of the moon in accordance with its orbit of the Earth and the apparent diameter of the Sun.
Moonshiners produce whiskey for as little as $3 a gallon, the investigators say, then package it in six-packs of gallon plastic jugs, a thicker-gauge variation of milk containers, and sell it, unlabeled, for $10 or $12 a gallon to nip joints, shot houses and the back rooms of bars in Philadelphia, Richmond, Washington and Baltimore.
We examined whether male eyespan was positively correlated with the growth of the accessory glands and testes as a way of gauging variation in male reproductive quality.
The impact of the WVR observations on tide gauge position variation estimation is shown to improve the vertical component in the case of baseline-wise observations with two WVRs by up to 50%.
The fundamental harmonic of a closed-end-cylinder shows that the gauge pressure variation has a maximum at the closed end and is approximately zero at the open end near the woofer (where the displacement is maximum).
Our within-state estimates then gauge how variation in relative economic deprivation within a state, associated with the recession, relates to drug utilization.
In the first analysis, we gauged the variation in the results by separately setting each one of the parameter values to reasonable lower and upper bounds [ 10], in this case, ± 50% of the chosen parameter values.
Number of replicates were determined after an initial experiment with three biological replicates to gauge the data variation.
The Kriging interpolation method was used to draw contour maps over different percentages of time for spatial interpolation of rain-rate values into a regular grid in order to obtain a highly consistent and predictable inter-gauge rain-rate variation over South Africa.
The location of strain gauges and its variation with the applied load is shown in Fig. 4.
