What's the difference between seismology and triangulation?

Seismology


Definition:

  • (n.) The science of earthquakes.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The findings were released at a Seismological Society of America meeting in Pasadena, California.
  • (2) Adaptive filtering is therefore apt for dealing with the "unknown" statistics situation and has been applied extensively in areas like communication, speech, radar, sonar, seismology, and biological signal processing and analysis for channel equalization, interference and echo canceling, line enhancement, signal detection, system identification, spectral analysis, beamforming, modeling, control, etc.
  • (3) "It seems quite likely that they are related," said Brian Baptie, the survey's head of seismology.
  • (4) "There are entire disciplines in which predictions have been failing, often at great cost to society," Silver argues, with fields at fault including biomedical research, national security, financial and economic modelling, political science and seismology.
  • (5) This was the sixth largest earthquake in the world since 1900, when seismological records began.

Triangulation


Definition:

  • (n.) The series or network of triangles into which the face of a country, or any portion of it, is divided in a trigonometrical survey; the operation of measuring the elements necessary to determine the triangles into which the country to be surveyed is supposed to be divided, and thus to fix the positions and distances of the several points connected by them.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Diagnostic pitfalls can generally be avoided by insisting on the opportunity for clinical-radiologic-pathologic correlation ("triangulation") before a final diagnosis is made.
  • (2) The psychological-interpersonal movement into triangulated oedipal object relations is mediated by the elaboration of mature forms of primal scene fantasies in conjunction with the development of a "transitional oedipal relationship" to the mother.
  • (3) The ultimate triangulation is that the Tories will represent the interests of both the bosses and the workers.
  • (4) Two horses with osteochondrosis lesions of the shoulder were examined arthroscopically and debrided with instrument triangulation.
  • (5) Improved treatment of spinal deformities in the elderly and osteoporotic population is dependent on improving the fixation at the metal-bone interface of spinal implants Particularly in osteoporotic vertebrae, the strength of fixation of two triangulated pedicle screws is better than either laminar hooks or single pedicle screws.
  • (6) The acceptance of the ambivalence and triangulation have the effect that the creative aspects in the later wish for a child are more powerful than the narcissistic or depressive parts.
  • (7) The cytotoxicities of the modified alkaloids in the in vitro P-388 system were not significantly increased over the unmodified alkaloids, suggesting that the triangulation hypothesis does not apply in this series at least.
  • (8) Trimming, triangulating, sneaking small policy advantages and wallowing in the narcissism of small differences, the parties seemed locked in a distant and disreputable Westminster charade.
  • (9) The evaluation phase incorporated the multi-method approach of triangulation to gather data during the implementation phase of the mentored placement.
  • (10) We developed some instruments to resolve these problems; i.e., scopes with a large diameter for high resolution, a triangulation instrument for multiple cannulations, a needle set-up jig for disk traction suture, a step cannulation system and a two-channel cannula for operating in the narrow lower joint space and a fixing jig for cannulas in the upper and lower joint space to observe the same portion of the discal tissue from both joint space during disk suturing.
  • (11) Foreign bodies near the posterior ocular wall were optimally evaluated by both radiographic and ultrasonic localization methods to avoid the inherent error of the x-ray triangulation system.
  • (12) They may instead use a scheme more overtly akin to triangulation, with each tectum providing an output signal encoding the angular position of the prey with respect to the contralateral eye and with distance extracted from the difference between these tectal outputs.
  • (13) Additionally, specific aspects of the research process are described, including triangulation of data-gathering strategies, sampling, and analysis.
  • (14) The gantry tilt technique provides direct visualization of the pathway of the needle tract; direct visualization is not possible with previously described techniques such as stereotactic biopsy or the triangulation technique.
  • (15) A simple interrupted suture pattern that excluded the mucosa and was oversewn with an inverting suture was compared with a triangulated double-row pattern of stainless steel staples.
  • (16) 10.41pm BST 82 min: Uruguay attempt a little triangulation on the edge of the Colombia box.
  • (17) This study explored the meaning of hope and identified strategies that are used to foster hope in a convenience sample of 30 terminally-ill adults using the technique of methodological triangulation (interview, Herth Hope Index and Background Data Form).
  • (18) From the data reported, it may be concluded that the enzyme structure can be described as an icosahedral capsid of 60 beta-subunits with the triangulation number T = 1.
  • (19) To cross-check, a team will also be deployed to measure the mountain the old-fashioned way: by triangulation, the same method used by the Welsh surveyor Sir George Everest, an earlier boss of India’s surveying agency, to determine the peak’s height in the 1850s.
  • (20) The known structures of polyoma and the plant viruses with triangulation number equal to 3 are evaluated in terms of hexamer-pentamer packing, and evidence is presented for the existence of larger subunits than the polypeptide in both cases.
