The quarantine laboratory's information about how fast the beetles reproduce and how far they can fly has helped the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service determine where to establish quarantines.
With knowledge of the energy and information about how fast the meteor was traveling, researchers were then able to calculate the mass of the meteor, about 11,000 metric tons.
About 25 million late-model cars and trucks, most built by General Motors and Ford, carry the boxes, which record crash information including how fast a vehicle was moving, whether the seat belts were buckled and how big a jolt the occupants suffered at impact.
Police said that Martin Morse, a 43-year-old father of four, had accelerated suddenly while entering a highway east of Howell, Mich., but that there was no information about how fast he was going at the time of the single-vehicle crash.
The self-optimizing approach ([1]) identifies the variables that must be controlled to achieve acceptable economic operation of the plant, but it gives no information on how fast these variables need to be controlled and how to design the control system.
In contrast to the parametric tests, which assess overall performance on the task, the regressions provide information on how fast participants adapt to task demands in each phase.
However, if stomach cancer, in any way, is caused by alcohol consumption, it is important for alcohol policy to have information on how fast, if at all, the increased risk from drinking falls after drinking cessation.
The finding is not good news for engineers trying to develop "smart" air bags that would determine the size and weight of a front-seat passenger and use that information to determine how fast to inflate the air bag, or whether to deploy it at all.
The latter can be viewed as an average modulation spectrogram which conveys information as to how fast (horizontal axis) each of the five subband envelopes (vertical axis) are modulated over short periods of time (i.e., 5 s in our analyzes).
In social sciences, this parameter is used to know how fast information spreads in a network of people; in mutualistic networks, such "information" might for instance be the effect of a disturbance, such as an invasion.
