  2. Comoving and proper distances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comoving_and_proper_distances

    Despite being an integral over time, this expression gives the correct distance that would be measured by a set of comoving local rulers at fixed time t, i.e. the "proper distance" (as defined below) after accounting for the time-dependent comoving speed of light via the inverse scale factor term / (′) in the integrand.

  3. Methods-time measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods-time_measurement

    In 1948, Maynard, Stegemerten and Schwab published the book “Methods-Time Measurement” giving full details of the development of the MTM system and its application rules. The use of Methods-Time Measurement MTM spread, first in the USA and then to other industrialized countries. In 1951 the USA / Canada MTM Association for Standards and ...

    MCQ may refer to McQ, a 1974 crime action film; McQ Inc, an American defense company based in Pennsylvania; Mathematical Citation Quotient, a measure of the impact of ...

  5. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    A unit of time is any particular time interval, used as a standard way of measuring or expressing duration. The base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI), and by extension most of the Western world , is the second , defined as about 9 billion oscillations of the caesium atom.

  6. Time–distance diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timedistance_diagram

    A time–distance diagram is a chart with two axes: one for time, the other for location. The units on either axis depend on the type of project: time can be expressed in minutes (for overnight construction of railroad modification projects such as the installation of switches) or years (for large construction projects); the location can be (kilo)meters, or other distinct units (such as ...

  7. Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time

    Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. [1] [2] [3] It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events (or the intervals between them), and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the ...

  8. Proper length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_length

    Since the rod is stationary in K 0, the distance between the marks is the proper length of the rod regardless of the time lapse between the two markings. On the other hand, it is not the proper distance between the marking events if the marks are not made simultaneously in K 0."

  9. Distance sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_sampling

    Distance sampling is a widely used group of closely related methods for estimating the density and/or abundance of populations. The main methods are based on line transects or point transects .
