File IBA Crosstalk weighting curve.svg 400px right Crosstalk measurement is made on audio systems to determine the amount of signal leaking across from one channel to another. Interchannel crosstalk applies between the two channels of a stereo system, and is usually not very important on modern systems, though it was hard to keep below the desired figure of 30dB or so on vinyl record ings and FM radio . Crosstalk between channels in mixing consoles, and between studio feeds is much more of a problem, as these are likely to be carrying very different programmes or material. The IBA drew up a weighting curve for use in crosstalk measurement that gives due emphasis to the subjective audibility of different frequencies, as shown here. This is still in use, despite the demise of the IBA, and in the absence of any international standards is worth adopting.

Measurement and Verification demonstrates how much energy the ECM has avoided using, rather than the total cost saved. The latter can be affected by many factors, such as energy prices.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Grade measurement is the geodesy geodetic determination of the local radius of curvature of the figure of the Earth by determining the difference in astronomical latitude between two locations on the same meridian geography meridian , the metric distance between which is known. The first known grade measurement was performed by Eratosthenes 240 BC between Alexandria and Syene in what is now Egypt, determining the radius of the Earth with remarkable correctness. The Dutch geodesist Snellius 1620 repeated the experiment between Alkmaar and Bergen op Zoom using more modern geodetic instrumentation. Later grade measurements aimed at determining the flattening of the Earth ellipsoid by measuring at different geographic latitude s. The first of these was the one commissioned by the French Geodesic Mission French Academy of Sciences in 1735 1738, involving measurement expeditions to Lapland Pierre Louis Maupertuis Maupertuis et al. and Peru Pierre Bouguer et al. . Later, Friedrich Georg Wilhelm von Struve Struve measured a geodetic triangle chain between the Arctic Sea and the Black Sea , and Friedrich Bessel Bessel compiled several meridian arc s to compute the famous Bessel ellipsoid 1841 . Nowadays, the method is replaced by worldwide geodetic network s and by satellite geodesy .

The energy can be limited by circuit breaker s or Fuse electrical fuses , and the impulse voltages by the nominal level of voltage. Measurement categories The definitions for each measurement category are as follows. ref name IEC61010 IEC 61010 20 030, Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use Part 30 Special requirements for testing and measuring circuits ref There are four categories, which are always stated with the designated voltage, for instance CAT III, 150 V or CAT IV, 1000 V . This has important safety implications for impulse voltages and insulation Insulator electrical clearances . CAT I CAT I is applicable to instruments and equipment, which are not intended to be connected to the mains supply. Because the available energy is very limited, this category is normally not marked on the equipment instead simply rated voltages and currents are stated e.g. in multimeter s .

unreferenced date September 2011 Noise measurement is carried out in various fields. In acoustics , it can be for the purpose of measuring environmental noise , or part of a test procedure using white noise , or some other specialised form of test signal . In electronics it relates to the sensitivity of communications systems, the purity of signals, or the quality of audio systems . The concept is to define the noise level below which signals cannot reliably be detected. It can be thought of as uncertainty of the information being carried over a communications channel . In audio systems and broadcasting specific methods are used to obtain subjectively valid results in order that different devices and signal paths may be compared regardless of the differing spectral distribution and temporal properties of the noise that they generate. In particular, the ITU R 468 noise weighting was devised specifically for this purpose, and is widely used for professional audio and broadcast measurements. Standards There are a number of standards for noise measurement, each with a different goal or focus, including Standard ITU R BS 468 widely used in Broadcasting and professional Audio. Standard IEC A weighting is widely used in Environmental Noise measurement.

merge Quantum mind body problem date November 2010 The measurement problem in quantum mechanics is the unresolved problem of how or if wavefunction collapse occurs. The inability to observe this process directly has given rise to different interpretations of quantum mechanics , and poses a key set of questions that each interpretation must answer. The wavefunction in quantum mechanics evolves according to the Schr dinger equation into a linear Quantum superposition superposition of different states, but actual measurements always find the physical system in a definite state. Any future evolution is based on the state the system was discovered to be in when the measurement was made, meaning that the measurement did something to the process under examination.

Educational Measurement refers to the use of educational assessments and the analysis of data such as scores obtained from educational assessments to infer the abilities and proficiencies of students. The approaches overlap with those in psychometrics . Overview The aim of theory and practice in educational measurement is typically to measure abilities and levels of attainment by students in areas such as reading, writing, mathematics, science and so forth. Traditionally, attention focuses on whether assessments are reliable and valid. In practice, educational measurement is largely concerned with the analysis of data from educational assessments or tests. Typically, this means using total scores on assessments, whether they are multiple choice or open ended and marked using marking rubrics or guides. In technical terms, the pattern of scores by individual students to individual items is used to infer so called scale locations of students, the measurements . This process is one form of scaling. Essentially, higher total scores give higher scale locations, consistent with the traditional and everyday use of total scores. ref Cite book last Baker first F title The Basics of Item Response Theory publisher ERIC Clearinghouse on Assessment and Evaluation location University of Maryland, College Park, MD year 2001 isbn ref If certain theory is used, though, there is not a strict correspondence between the ordering of total scores and the ordering of scale locations.
