The Intensity scale is designed to describe the effects of an earthquake, at a given place, on natural features, on industrial installations and on human beings. The intensity differs from the magnitude which is related to the energy released by an earthquake. What it is the difference between magnitudes ML and mN? Without going into the seismological details, the magnitude defined by Charles Richter is the source of all magnitude scales.

The Richter magnitude indicates the size or strength of an earthquake. For illustration, a parallel can be drawn with how the strength of an explosion will often be reported in terms of tons of TNT (or sticks of dynamite, in old movies). In contrast, the acceleration, or "g force" usually refers to the shaking experienced at a specific point due to the earthquake. See similar questions...

Radiant intensity refers to radiant power (flux) in a particular, specified direction. Formally, it is the rate at which radiant energy is transferred, per unit solid angle. Radiant intensity is expressed in watts per steradian (W · sr-1). It is what I call a linear-light measure. Radiant intensity potentially has a large spatial extent, but imaging systems use pixels with small area: It is inappropriate to use intensity as a metric for image data. See similar questions...

The magnitude is the brightness of an astronomical object. As observers, we are primarily in the apparent magnitude, which is the magnitude we perceive. There is also absolute magnitude, which is the magnitude that a star would appear at a distance of 10 parsecs (except for asteroids it is at 1 AU with zero phase angle). The magnitude scale that we use was derived from Hipparchus, who informally classified stars into different magnitudes. See similar questions...

In physics, radiant intensity and radiance are integrated across a wide range of wavelengths. In color science, we are interested in power only in the visible band. Radiant intensity, weighted by the spectral sensitivity associated with the brightness sensation of vision, is luminous intensity. It is expressed in units of candelas (cd). The weighting curve is defined numerically and standardized by the CIE; it is called the luminous efficiency of the Standard Observer. See similar questions...

Small bergs a few miles across are very common and we have a large one like 100 miles long about every 10 to 15 years. The last one to break off of the Ross Ice Shelf was in 1987 and was about 1/2 the size of this one See similar questions...

When referred to the sky, it is the dimmest stars that would be visible at the zenith. It is sometimes referred to as naked eye limiting magnitude or NELM. It is usually estimated by counting the visible stars in a clearly defined region of sky, such as the Square of Pegasus, then referring to a standard table. When referred to an instrument, it is the faintest stars visible with the instrument under ideal conditions. See similar questions...

Your star''s Visual Magnitude is a measure of the star''s brightness. Magnitude is listed as a value between -2 and +30 with higher numbers for dimmer stars. The human eye can only see stars brighter than magnitude 6. To see stars with a high magnitude, you will need binoculars or a telescope. The Visual Magnitude is printed on your Star Chart on the bottom line. Refer to the example chart to see it's location. See similar questions...

Earthquakes vary broadly in size; from microscopic fractures to slip occurring on a fault hundreds of kilometers long. Earthquakes also vary in location and depth. Individuals would probably notice a small earthquake occurring a kilometer below the surface, but a larger earthquake occurring several hundred kilometers below your feet may not be noticed at all.

The intensity describes the pulsation level. When the intensity becomes stronger, the electromagnetic impulse intensifies and penetrates deeper into the organism. See similar questions...

The magnitude of the error is relatively small. For the 2001-2005 time period overall, the estimate of AIDS cases has been revised downward from 206,360 to 202,235, a difference of 2 percent. For 2005 alone, estimated AIDS cases have been revised from 45,669 to 41,897, a difference of 8 percent. Because some AIDS cases are diagnosed concurrently with HIV infection, there are also small corrections to the estimates of HIV/AIDS cases. See similar questions...

LILT is the use of monochromatic light emission from a low intensity laser diode (250 milliwatts or less) or an array of high intensity, super luminous diodes (providing total optical power in the 1000-2000 milliwatt range) to treat musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions and to heal wounds.

Intensity adjustment button - this button electronically moves the heads back up to 2" from their most intense point (available on most massage lounger models). Back Pad - adjust massage intensity by keeping the back pad in the massage lounger to dampen the effect of the rollers. Reclining angles - the less the chair is reclined, the less body weight is put on the rollers, which reduces intensity. See similar questions...

To increase the intensity of your workout, adjust your amplitude and acceleration. The greater the acceleration and the larger the amplitude, the more work is done by the user. To vary the amplitude, simply widen your stance anywhere from foot position 0 to foot position 4. To vary the acceleration, simply increase your frequency range anywhere from 0-30Hz. This will increase the number of impulses per second, causing the muscles to contract and relax by natural reflex at a higher rate. See similar questions...

These two books are the most comprehensive programs that I have created. The primary difference between the two programs is in regards to training modalities. Infinite Intensity focuses on the integration of free weights, bodyweight exercise, sandbags, and more. Never Gymless on the other hand focuses primarily on equipment free methods. In addition to bodyweight exercise, resistance bands are included as a way to spice up certain movements. See similar questions...

It doesn't do intensity balances. You can check the intensity balances by running gls_conv to generate a .dat file and looking at the last section, containing a list of intensity balances and energy sums that fall outside of two- or three-sigma tolerances. The program simply calculates branching ratios for each level. All the flux coming in is assumed to be divided according to those branching ratios. See similar questions...

There are several ways to increase intensity. Increase your step height, use longer lever arms or add power moves (where both feet are in the air at the same time). If you are going to add power, don't exceed one minute at a time. All power moves should be done up onto the platform never down off the step. Power moves are considered advanced, and should not be attempted by beginners. See similar questions...

Odor intensity is determined following ASTM International E544-99, "Standard Practice for Referencing Suprathreshold Odor Intensity." See the Odor Parameters descriptions on our web site for additional information. See similar questions...

Scientists and engineers often describe the effects of ground shaking on humans and man made structures in terms of earthquake intensity. Earthquake intensity is judged on the Modified Mercalli scale and is, by definition, subjective, since it doesn't depend on instrumental measurements, but instead on the observer's assessment of damage or shaking. A level III intensity indicates rattling doors and windows, broken dishes, and cracked plaster. See similar questions...
