    A ruler with two linear scales: the metric and imperial.It includes shorter minor graduations and longer major graduations. A graduation is a marking used to indicate points on a visual scale, which can be present on a container, a measuring device, or the axes of a line plot, usually one of many along a line or curve, each in the form of short line segments perpendicular to the line or curve.

    A scoring rubric typically includes dimensions or "criteria" on which performance is rated, definitions and examples illustrating measured attributes, and a rating scale for each dimension. Joan Herman, Aschbacher, and Winters identify these elements in scoring rubrics: [3] - Traits or dimensions serving as the basis for judging the student ...

An algebraic structure is said to be -graded for an index set if it has a gradation or grading, i.e. a decomposition into a direct sum = of structures; the elements of are said to be "homogeneous of degree i ".

  8. Logarithmic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_scale

    Unlike a linear scale where each unit of distance corresponds to the same increment, on a logarithmic scale each unit of length is a multiple of some base value raised to a power, and corresponds to the multiplication of the previous value in the scale by the base value. In common use, logarithmic scales are in base 10 (unless otherwise specified).

  9. Slide rule scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule_scale

    In slide rule terminology, "folded" means a scale that starts and finishes at values offset from a power of 10. Often folded scales start at π but may be extended lengthways to, say, 3.0 and 35.0. Folded scales with the code subscripted with "M" start and finish at log 10 e to simplify conversion between base-10 and natural logarithms. When ...
