Whether the term is used where it could apply is essentially a matter of convention, and as the relatively vague, similar definitions overlap, its use may in certain cases coexist with the use of another term as those mentioned in the See also section.

A sparse ruler is a ruler in which some of the distance marks are missing, yet which allows you to measure any integer distance up to its full length. More abstractly, a sparse ruler of length math L math with math m math marks is a sequence of integers math a 1, a 2, ..., a m math where math 0 a 1 a 2 ... a m L math . The marks math a 1 math and math a m math correspond to the ends of the ruler. In order to measure the distance math K math , with math 0 K L math there must be marks math a i math and math a j math such that math a j a i K math . A sparse ruler is called minimal if there is no sparse ruler of length math L math with math m 1 math marks. In other words, if any of the marks is removed one can no longer measure all of the distances. A sparse ruler is called maximal if there is no sparse ruler of length math L 1 math with math m math marks. A sparse ruler is called optimal if it is both minimal and maximal. Since the number of distinct pairs of marks is math m m 1 2 math , this is an upper bound on the length math L math of any maximal sparse ruler with math m math marks. This upper bound can be achieved only for 2, 3 or 4 marks. For larger numbers of marks, the difference between the optimal length and the bound grows gradually, and unevenly. For example, for 6 marks ... rulers of length 13 with 6 marks. One is 0, 1, 2, 6, 10, 13 . To measure a length of 7, say, with this ruler ... to, but different from Golomb ruler s because Golomb rulers require that all of the differences math a j a i math be distinct. In general, a Golomb ruler with math m math marks will be considerably longer than an optimal sparse ruler with math m math marks, since math m m 1 2 math is a lower bound for the length of a Golomb ruler. A long Golomb ruler will have gaps, that is, it will have distances which it cannot measure. For example, the optimal Golomb ruler 0, 1, 4, 10, 12, 17 has length 17 ... the ruler 0, 1, 3, 6, 13, 20, 24, 28, 29 . The length of a Wichmann ruler is 4r r s 2 3 s 1 and the number ... more details

His residence was in Sirmium today Sremska Mitrovica , Serbia , where he produced his own golden coins. History After the First Bulgarian Empire was defeated by the Byzantine Empire , Sermon was the last Bulgarian ruler who refused to comply with the new Byzantine authorities. Since Sermon was reluctant to recognize the supreme authority of the Byzantine emperor , the emperor ordered his regent in Belgrade , Constantine Diogenes , to forcefully subjugate Sermon. However, Diogenes invited Sermon to a meeting at the estuary of the river Sava in the Danube , and there he killed the duke of Syrmia in the boat. After this, the Diogenes ruled over Syrmia as a duke until 1028. Archaeology Three golden coins produced by Sermon have been found near Novi Sad , in one vineyard in Petrovaradin , which means that this area was also under Sermon s rule.

Unreferenced date October 2009 A standard ruler is an astronomy astronomical object whose approximate size is known. By measuring its apparent angular diameter in the sky, one can determine its distance from Earth . An object with a known diameter would look smaller at farther distances, the angular size being proportional to the inverse of the distance to the object. The distance to the object can therefore be estimated by knowing its actual diameter and measuring its angular size. The angular diameter of a spiral galaxy , for instance can be easily measured by observation. The size of such galaxies are approximately known and do not differ very much. One can therefore use their size, and the angular size that is measured to estimate their distance. the relation of the angular diameter, actual diameter and distance is given by math alpha frac 648000 pi frac D d math where is the angular diameter measured in arc seconds, D is the actual diameter of the galaxy and d is the distance of the galaxy to the observer.

In the former case, the leader may often have significant powers listed within the state s constitution , but is no longer able to exercise them, due to historical changes within that country. In the latter case, it is often made clear within the document that the leader is intended to be powerless. Heads of State who inhabit positions of titular leadership are usually regarded as symbols of the people they lead.
