relative heights

The relative heights of the dolls usually convey some information about the lines to which they apply, although there is no definite standard.

The grouping of the objects and the depth effect created by their relative heights from the backing creates a dramatic visual result.

Forgeries can be discovered by examining the relative heights of the two loops of the B.

A device used to measure true horizontal or relative heights, frequently used in surveying and construction:

Before 1997 there were seven Murdos that were not Munro Tops, some with quite substantial relative heights.

"The shingle was relatively porous and fresh water could leave and seawater enter depending, on the relative heights of the pool and sea".

The relative heights of the peaks in the total histogram are representative of the populations of various types of having differing factors.

The relative heights of the peaks changed considerably, with the left-hand peak (in this case representing failures) becoming relatively lower whereas the other peaks became higher.

This ridge represents both the different relative heights of the abutting plates as well as the component of compression between the plates.

The histogram was well fitted by the sum of two gaussians, each of s.d. 70μV, with their means and relative heights indicated by the vertical bars.

The shape of the mountain is a double peak, the relative heights of which are somewhat ambiguous from the summit, although easy to identify from the surrounding plains.

The relative heights of the histogram peaks were virtually identical in the two cases, indicating no appreciable change in the mean number of quanta released per trial.

When these images are seen simultaneously through a stereoscopic viewer, they present a three-dimensional image in which the relative heights of objects on the Venusian surface can be perceived directly.

The reliability of curve fitting in this case is dependent on the separation between the components, their shape functions and relative heights, and the signal-to-noise ratio in the data.

Other film makers find that the opposite is true, and argue that the greater number of local professionals may actually have driven wages down from the relative heights of the 1980s.

Harry is reported to have joked about the relative heights of Kate and the Duke of Edinburgh, his grandfather being dwarfed by Princess Catherine in her three-inch heels.

The roof was slightly unusual due to the relative heights of the eaves and the ridge, but to a structural engineer the design was sound and anyway was one that had been used many times before.

Nearly all of its length was underground, which was necessary because of the relative heights of its source and destination, and afforded it protection from attackers during the Samnite Wars that were underway during its construction.

The pattern of peaks G-C and G-C (i.e. the relative heights of their collected peaks) each is both determined by and therefore may be used to determine the number of carbons in the monoisotopic peak.

In the milonguero-style embrace, the woman moves her left hand past her partner's right shoulder (where it would be in open embrace) around his neck and back to end up near his left shoulder, depending on the relative heights of the dancers.

The tables all stood at different relative heights to one another, staggered back and forth-until the tiers reached a pinnacle, a single chair made out of what looked like silver, its flaring back carved into a sigil, a snowflake the size of a dinner table.

Though she never reached the relative heights in tennis that she did in badminton and squash, she was a strong enough player to reach the final of Wimbledon Women's Doubles in 1958, losing to Hall-of-Famers Althea Gibson and Maria Bueno.
