The term is also applied to any series of periodic payments made at regular, fixed intervals; the length of the interval is called the annuity period.
Such studies also reveal that apparent duration remains proportional to the objectively measured length of the interval.
It is reasonable to assume that the probability of emission during a short time interval is proportional to the length of the interval.
And there is no question but that the length of the interval is important; other things being equal, rats will form a stronger aversion to a food they have eaten recently than to one they have eaten several hours earlier.
Since improved maximal oxygen uptake can reliably indicate better overall cardiovascular health, he suspects that "we need a certain length of the interval to trigger" such health and fitness benefits.
Intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) could modify follicular dynamics and reduce the length of the interval from calving to first ovulation (ICOV) in dairy cows, associated with changes in metabolites (i.e. cholesterol) or hormones (i.e. IGF-I).
In situations where the cells are checked for replacement at discrete intervals, referred to as maintenance event intervals, it is found that the length of the interval is dependent on the mean time to failure of the individual cells.
Three parameters were shown to particularly influence methane production rates (MPR) and methane yields: the length of the interval between two recirculation events, the leachate to substrate (L S) ratio and the volume of leachate recirculated.
Define (mathbb {T}_{j}) to be the length of the interval j.
Therefore, the length of the interval for fine-timing estimation in[7] is also set to 50.
The length of the interval, however, is restricted by the scanning range of the acoustic beam, which increases with depth.
