I recently got back from China where I witnessed the amazing phenomena that is a total solar eclipse.  Truly amazing.  The breathtaking phase of the eclipse when the moon completely blocks the light from the sun is called totality.   Pondering on this (in true PR measurement geekdom), I got thinking about how important the totality of marketing is.  As evaluators

In India specifically, the demand for people, especially in the IT industry, is so great that most HR departments end up focusing almost entirely on recruitment. In such a scenario, their success is often, at the end of the year or quarter, measured by the number of people they were able to bring in. My ex-company, for instance, went from hiring about 20 people a month, to 200 a month over the c

Completely updated to include new technologies such as smart sensors, displays and interfaces, the 3rd edition also contains plenty

Suppose we wished to measure the resistance of some component located a significant distance away from our ohmmeter. Such a scenario would be problematic, because an ohmmeter measures all resistance in the circuit loop, which includes the resistance of the wires (Rwire) connecting the ohmmeter to the component being measured (Rsubject): Usually, wire resistance is very small (only a few ohms per hundreds of feet, depending primarily on the gauge (size) of the wire), but if the connecting wires are very long, and/or the component to be measured has a very low resistance anyway, the measurement error introduced by wire resistance will be substantial. An ingenious method of measuring the subject resistance in a situation like this involves the use of both an ammeter and a voltmeter.

A very important measurement in many liquid chemical processes (industrial, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, food production, etc.) is that of pH: the measurement of hydrogen ion concentration in a liquid solution. A solution with a low pH value is called an "acid," while one with a high pH is called a "caustic." The common pH scale extends from 0 (strong acid) to 14 (strong caustic), with 7 in the middle representing pure water (neutral): pH is defined as follows: the lower-case letter "p" in pH stands for the negative common (base ten) logarithm, while the upper-case letter "H" stands for the element hydrogen. Thus, pH is a logarithmic measurement of the number of moles of hydrogen ions (H+) per liter of solu

Not all people take loans or buy on credits just for the sake of it. For some people, it is a sheer necessity that drives them to indulge in such things, sometimes against their will. Though they have a strong mind to return the money in time and have a clear-cut plan as well, they cannot do it properly. Debt Management becomes a big problem for them; they just cannot deal with it alone. Things are worse for those who have multiple debts and only one source to refund them. In spite of trying their best what they can do is to pay the interest only. The capital amount remains intact in its place. One the one hand, there is the pang of losing money on interest; on the other, there are the phone calls, emails, and letters from the creditors; some of them may be quite unfriendly. Debt Manage

To increase corporate adoption of social media, more tangible results need to come to the forefront vis a vis measurement and case studies. That’s why I hope to start this meme (very inspired by Kami Huyse’s Social Media Club Austin session). There’s so much to be learned by our collective conversation, and hopefully this will trigger a great discussion on metrics and case studies. Companies are very interested in social media right now, but are not committing resources.  Why?  Because return on investment is not clear to them. Consider this quote from Monday’s Marketing Vox column: The ability to accurately monitor the ROI achieved by new marketing tools will help marketers take that first step toward incorporating new digital marketing programs, as well as rethink the effectiveness of current campaigns Everytime I speak to businesses, the first thing they always want to discuss is results.

All these features can be buil in to one small chip which will serve with high reliability and low price. Lets see how energy (active power) consumption is measured. Active power which is required in form of alternate current (AC) can be calculated as average power over one period:   (more…)

They determine their sales force has the most impact on that objective so they target their sales organization for an incentive program. They know that they have a high probability of sale if the sales people follow a specific process. However, they don't track those steps. They train and communicate the steps - they rely on sales management to reinforce those steps in their "huddle sessions" - but they don't officially track those steps.

John Davidson's recent Australian Financial Review Article reports on Google's acquisition of new on-line metrics capable advertising technology from DoubleClick. The technology enhances and expands on Googles existing on line advertising mainstays: AdWords and AdSense. According to Davidson's article, the two primary advantages for Google seem to be that Microsoft doesn't get the technology, and that Google can now gather substantial 'click-through' based data on how users are responding to particular on-line advertisements. Greater metrics (statistical measurement of responses to on-line advertising) are seen as increasingly critical in marketing industry literature because of the value of such data to advertisers trying to effectively target on-line consumers. In the Financial Times article, Google co-founder Sergey Brin indicates that user privacy is still paramount to Google, and is reported to have indicated that the search term data from the Google search engine was 'unli

Blood Pressure MeasurementWhat is blood pressure?Blood pressure is the pressure or the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the cardiac cycle. Systolic blood pressure is the highest pressure in the cycle. Diastolic blood pressure is the lowest pressure in the cycle. Both pressure readings, the systolic rate and the diastolic rate, are information for the physician to evaluate the status of patients blood pressure. Many factors such as physical activities, anxieties, time of day, can influence one’s blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the morning and increases from afternoon to the evening. It is lower in the summer and higher in the winter.Why is it useful to measure blood pressure at home?Because having one’s blood pressure measured by a doctor in a hospital, or clinic tends to stimulate nervousness in a person and may cause the blood pressure to rise. Also, blood pressure changes in dif

For a long time now I have used Nancy Zieman's way of measuring for patterns. But now am considering purchasing Pamela's Patterns. I have been trying to figure out how I could get a good measurement having had a mastectomy. When I wear my prothesis I still have a some space where my boob used to be. Hope this makes sense. I had thought about measuring making sure that the tape was over the bra strap, but there is so much space that I think the measurement will be too small. I have also thought about making a mark in the middle of my breast bone and in the middle of my back and measuring the non-mastectomy side and doubling that for my high bust. What do you all think.? :confused:Last post by Erica B. at Thu 30 Aug 2007 11:11:38 PM Total posts: 2 Visit PatternReview.com to read this entire topic.Research Elna Sewing Machines, Sergers and Coverstitch Machines at PatternReview.com.

Can Your Waistline Measurement Save Your Heart?

Sorry if this is a lame question but I'd really like to know: How do I find the location of my knee? (okay, I know where it is on me - but for pattern purposes.) :rolleyes: I can't cite any particular sewing / fitting books but in the ones I've seen it's not really clear where that measurement should be taken. Is it "to the top of the knee", "to the middle", or to the bottom"? Thanks in ad
