Measurement Theory and General Relativity
The theory of measurement is employed to elucidate the physical basis of general relativity. For measurements involving phenomena with intrinsic length or time scales, such scales must in general be negligible compared to the (translational and rotational) scales characteristic of the motion of the observer. Thus general relativity is a consistent theory of coincidences so long as these involve...
متن کاملThe measurement of morbidity in general practice.
(1) The need for morbidity data based on general practice arises because: (a) the consultation in general practice is the entry point into the health care system; (b) among the health problems brought to the attention of doctors, most are dealt with completely in general practice; (c) general practice records can provide a comprehensive database for health care. (2) The routine measurement of m...
متن کاملQuality measurement and improvement in general surgery.
Increasing emphasis is being placed on health care quality measurement and improvement in the US. Within general surgery, several sophisticated quality-measurement and outcomes systems have been developed. These include the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, the use of selective referral and centers of excellence, the Surgical Care Improvement Project, and the World Health Organizat...
متن کاملGeneral Quantum Measurement: An Equilibrium Gas Model
We overcome one of Bell’s objections to ‘quantum measurement’ by generalizing the definition to include systems outside the laboratory. According to this definition a quantum measurement takes place when the value of a classical variable is influenced significantly by an earlier state of a quantum system. The quantum measurement can then take place in equilibrium systems, provided the classical...
متن کاملOutline of a general model of measurement
Measurement is a process aimed at acquiring and codifying information about properties of empirical entities. In this paper we provide an interpretation of such a process comparing it with what is nowadays considered the standard measurement theory, i.e., representational theory of measurement. It is maintained here that this theory has its own merits but it is incomplete and too abstract, its ...
