Download or read book Measuring Time written by Masatoshi Kajita and published by Programme: Iop Expanding Physi. This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating book Masatoshi Kajita recounts the importance of precise measurements and their inherent uncertainty, before telling the story of humankind's efforts to define and measure time with increasing accuracy, culminating in the development of atomic clocks. These improvements in the accurate measurement of time and frequency have played a pivotal role in the development of modern science; including the confirmation of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and the recent detection of gravity waves. Furthermore, such measurements afforded by atomic clocks and other mechanisms are being used to examine key questions about the very fundamentals of our universe, the possibility of symmetry violation and even testing the idea that there may be variation of the fundamental constants themselves over time.

Download or read book Laura Grisi the Measuring of Time written by Clément Dirié and published by Jrp Ringier. This book was released on 2022-01-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the many lives and mediums of a postwar Italian artist-adventurer Published on the occasion of her long-deserved retrospective at Muzeum Susch, this book testifies to the singular vision of Italian artist Laura Grisi (1939-2017) within contemporary art history. Born in Greece, educated in Paris and living between New York and Rome, where she died, Grisi spent long periods of her life in Africa, South America and Polynesia. This involvement with non-Western cultures indelibly marked her own search for a cosmic thinking. Although her work is often reduced to Pop art, Grisi always worked within the fundamental motif of the "journey"--from remote locations visited and documented, to the multiplicity of mediums used. Grisi embodied a stateless, nomadic female subject defying the politics of identity, the univocity of representation and the unidirectionality of time. Grisi's work spans from her avant-garde Variable Paintingsof the mid-1960s and her 1970s pioneering environmental installations dealing with fog, wind and rain, to her conceptual photo-works of the 1980s.
Download or read book Measuring Time written by Helon Habila and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2007 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mamo and LaMamo are twin brothers living in the small Nigerian village of Keti, where their domineering father controls their lives. With high hopes the twins attempt to flee from home, but only LaMamo escapes successfully and is able to live their dream of becoming a soldier who meets beautiful women. Mamo, the sickly, awkward twin, is doomed to remain in the village with his father. Gradually he comes out of his father's shadow and gains local fame as a historian, and, using Plutarch's Parallel Lives as his model, he embarks on the ambitious project of writing a "true" history of his people. But when the rains fail and famine rages, religious zealots incite the people to violence--and LaMamo returns to fight the enemy at home. A novel of ardent loyalty, encroaching modernity, political desire, and personal liberation, Measuring Time is a heart-wrenching history of Nigeria, portrayed through the eyes of a single family.
Download or read book Measurements and Time Reversal in Objective Quantum Theory written by F. J. Belinfante and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurements and Time Reversal in Objective Quantum Theory is a three-chapter book that begins with a discussion on the fundamentals of conventional quantum theory. The second chapter focuses on the time arrow of quantum theory. It specifically presents a schematized account of the results of an interesting paper on time reversal in quantum theory published by Aharonov, Bergmann, and Lebowitz. The last chapter presents the authors' conclusions and additional comments in this field. This book will be valuable to students of wave mechanics and will serve as a supplement to textbooks, which fail to present an appropriate discussion of these matters.

Book excerpt: The main objectives were as follows: (1) To furnish a best estimate of the total energy release from the detonation (2) To determine the energy partition which occurs at the various interfaces (3) To determine the hydrodynamic variables which contribute to an understanding of the phenomenology of the underground explosion. The raw data obtained are presented.
Download or read book Methods for Real Time Measurement of THMs and HAAs in Distribution Systems Part 2 written by and published by American Water Works Association. This book was released on 2007 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this project researchers developed a practical, low-cost chemical analyzer for real-time monitoring of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) in drinking water distribution systems. THMs and HAAs are possibly harmful to humans if ingested. For this reason the US Environmental Protection Agency established maximum contaminant levels. Future regulations might lower the MCL of these substances. Real-time monitoring of THMs and HAAs will become necessary for future regulatory compliance.
Download or read book Tracking Time written by Dianne Irving and published by Teacher Created Materials. This book was released on 2008-06-05 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is something that helps us keep track of our lives including things in the past, present, and future. Before, people used the sun and the cycle of the moon to tell the time. After many different contraptions were invented to measure time, advanced clocks, such a quartz crystal clocks, and atomic clocks were invented that help us keep track of time. It is not the same time all over the world--each part of the world is in a different time zone.

Download or read book Application of Time Synchronized Measurements in Power System Transmission Networks written by Mladen Kezunovic and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illuminates how synchrophasors achieve the monitoring, protection and control optimizations necessary to expand existing power systems to support increasing amounts of renewable and distributed energy resources. The authors describe synchrophasor techniques that can provide operators with better resolution in capturing dynamic behavior of the power grid. The resulting insights support improved real-time decision making in the face of more generation and load uncertainty, as well as interruptions caused by random acts of nature and malicious attacks. Armed with the information in this cutting-edge resource, grid planners and operators can make optimized, flexible, resilient power systems a reality.
Download or read book Causality Measurement Theory and the Differentiable Structure of Space Time written by R. N. Sen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-11 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing graduate students and researchers to mathematical physics, this book discusses two recent developments: the demonstration that causality can be defined on discrete space-times; and Sewell's measurement theory, in which the wave packet is reduced without recourse to the observer's conscious ego, nonlinearities or interaction with the rest of the universe. The definition of causality on a discrete space-time assumes that space-time is made up of geometrical points. Using Sewell's measurement theory, the author concludes that the notion of geometrical points is as meaningful in quantum mechanics as it is in classical mechanics, and that it is impossible to tell whether the differential calculus is a discovery or an invention. Providing a mathematical discourse on the relation between theoretical and experimental physics, the book gives detailed accounts of the mathematically difficult measurement theories of von Neumann and Sewell.
