Measurement

Would children’s self-esteem be greatly improved? Dolls with accurate proportions have been around for a long time before Lammily. Emme was a larger doll, in height and body measurements. Her measurements were based on a full figure model named Emme. Emme represented an American women’s size 16 where Barbie would represent a women’s size 2. (Anschutz, 2010, p.623) Emme was used in a study along with Barbie to measure the effects of short-term…

critical agendas (Ranis et al., 2006 p. 347). The evaluations of the definition for human development can be divided into two periods, the period before 1990 and the period after 1990 when the UNDP published a report on human development together with measurements (Alkire and Deneulin, 2009 p.…

ringers using different times. Units of Measurement Measurements are not unified because they are not based on a consistent amount. Many different measurements of amounts of land are created by Edward I, but unification does not occur because people do not understand the new system. Liquid measurements are never standard because people do not understand the differences between the large assortment of liquids and, instead of adjusting the measurements for each, measured each the same.…

In the Chi-Square test table below, the “Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed)” determines the level of confidence. This particular level of confidence is less than 0.5, which means the difference is statistically significant. The null hypothesis is thus rejected. Chi-Square Tests Value df Asymp. Sig. (2-sided) Pearson Chi-Square 12.747a 6 .047 Likelihood Ratio 13.057 6 .042 Linear-by-Linear Association 5.178 1 .023 N of Valid Cases 742 Correlation and Regression with SPSS Pearson’s r value and…

Since the revenue is contract-based, the first tables included revenue by contract type along with expiration dates for those major contract vehicles. It segmented the contract revenue further by specific task orders. BAH described another measurement called “backlog” that was defined as “the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding is appropriated or otherwise authorized” (Booz Allen Hamitlon, Inc., 2015, p. 14). Backlog funded and unfunded is used,…

ORIFICE PLATE: Definition: An orifice plate is a device that is used for the measurement of flow rate for reducing pressure or for the restricting flow. An orifice plate is a thin plate with a hole in it, which is usually placed in a pipe. When a fluid (either liquid or gaseous) passes through the orifice, its pressure builds up slightly upstream of the orifice. But as the fluid is forced to converge to pass through the hole, the velocity increases & the fluid pressure decreases. Orifice Plate…

Noise Mitigation in Urban Areas: AUBMC 2020 Case Study Abstract- This paper studies noise pollution in a local context and aims at finding feasible mitigation measures taking AUBMC area as a case study. After thoroughly researching the topic to better understand the causes and implications of noise, as well as suggested solutions to alleviate its severity, the group moved towards applying these findings to the study area. A professional sound meter was used to measure noise levels at different…

Measurement is often the most debated topic by scholars when discussing effectiveness in both leadership and organizations. Clear understanding of what defines effectiveness paves the way for a conceptualized understanding of the elements needed for performance measurement. According to Davis and Pelt, “Effectiveness refers to the resource-getting ability of an organization” (2002). In terms of leadership, effectiveness is often measured by productivity data, which provides concrete information…

an important question to build this bed…. How big is a foot? This kind of story is perfect for introducing non-standard and standard measurement. The story travels through many items to see how big a foot is. Students can use an eraser, book, or even their own foot to see what adds up to a foot or 12 inches. This story is great to have students practice measurement and have fun while doing it! I chose this story because I have seen it work first hand. Last summer I worked at an Elementary…

were measured by an enzymatic spectrophotometeric technique using Vitros 350 analyzer (Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Johnson & Jhonson, 50–100 Holmers Farm Way, High Wycombe, Buckighamshire, HP12 4DP, United Kingdom). The inter-assay variation of measurements did not exceed 4%. Quality control was performed within each run using standard performance verifier solutions provided by Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics. All samples were analyzed in duplicates, and the average value was used in statistical…
