Wages, of course, are not necessarily the best gauge of higher living standards; many workers have benefited from profits and share-price rises which have fed through, for example, into their pension funds.
Miniature semi-conductor strain-gauges of high-frequency response were employed to measure locally the strain on the exterior side of the plates and high-frequency response pressure transducers were used to measure time-dependent wall and total pressure.
With the optimization of some variables by orthogonal design, the optimal condition obtained was 0.2 MPa (gauge pressure) of high pressure intensity, 30 min of low pressure duration and 20 s of high pressure duration.
By clicking a little button on the device, you'll see a small blue LED screen that will alternate between the steps you've taken, the calories you've burned, your distance, and gives you a gauge of how high your activity level is.
When people refer to string gauges, they usually use the gauge of the high E string (the 1st string).
Toyota, in documents posted on the NHTSA website, said the company and Takata are still trying to pinpoint the cause of the rupture and to gauge the influence of high absolute humidity.
"The Calibre 9452 MC, our first Poinçon de Genève movement, has been integrated in six of our models — for us, it is a gauge of the highest artisanal quality," said Helène Poulit-Duquesne, watch-marketing development director for Cartier at the company's offices in Paris.
Ensemble simulations of 1000 samples were used to derive the median and the inter-quartile range of the fields; these were found to narrow near the control gauge locations, as expected, emphasising the value of high density gauge networks.
"So it's very difficult to get a gauge of underlying strength of High Street activity from these numbers, given so very big distorting factors".
Most of the measures were done in a shear area at embedding section with strain gauges because the deformations were of high values.
Even on my small yacht I had a depth gauge which worked with pulses of high frequency sound, the Titanic was located with scanning sonar, and there was, and may still be, a chain of sonic detectors in the North Atlantic to detect submarines.
