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.
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.
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.
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.
Slight variation in gauge does not cause pronouncing changes in the moment carrying capacity of the connection.
As the thickness of the light gauge section increases, the variation in increase of joint strength reduces for various thicknesses of packing plates.
Our approach combines data from multiple projects in the Zuni region of the American Southwest in order to gauge the effects of intraregional variation in ceramic distributions and reexamine prior interpretations of demographic change based on individual projects.
In the real engineering problems, the variation in sheet gauge, geometrical size and material parameters, caused by environmental factors and other uncertainties, may affect the structural performances of body parts.
Although specific trends could not be reliably identified, data collected by rain gauges indicated a noticeable amount of variation in the amount of rainfall over the 2 kilometer span of campus.
