Bar Graph

A bar graph is also called a bar chart and consists of bars that are separated from each other. It either uses horizontal or vertical bars to show comparisons among categories. The bars can be rectangles, or they can be rectangular boxes (used in three-dimensional plots). One axis of the graph represents the specific categories being compared, and the other axis shows a discrete value. In this graph, the length of the bar for each category is proportional to the number or percent of individuals...

This protocol details the use of Hopkinson pressure bars to measure reflected blast loading from near-field explosive events. It is capable of interpolating a pressure-time history at any point on a reflective boundary and as such can be used to fully characterize the spatial and temporal variations in loading produced.

Multiple Bar Graph

As the name suggests, a multiple bar graph is the same as a bar graph but has multiple bars to depict relationships between different data values. One can include as many parameters as possible. However, each parameter must have the same unit of measurement. Each bar or column in the multiple bar graph represents a data value. These graphs are used primarily in interrelating two or more sets of data. The categories of different kinds of data are listed along the horizontal or x-axis, whereas...

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)...
FAQs
An optical sensor reads the alternating bars and spaces rather than relying on an operator to interpret visual graduations. The digital level compares the captured pattern with a stored scale, then derives the rod reading and staff position. This processing converts the rod’s physical marking into measurement data for automated leveling and electronic recording.
The stored scale provides the reference needed to interpret the captured pattern consistently. By matching the observed sequence of bars and spaces against that reference, the instrument identifies the staff position relative to the level. That relationship allows the system to calculate elevation differences instead of producing only an unprocessed optical observation.
Compared with conventional visual graduations, a bar-code rod supports direct machine reading. The digital level performs pattern recognition and calculation, reducing dependence on manual visual interpretation. In engineering surveys, this difference can reduce reading errors, improve consistency between measurements, and support direct electronic recording rather than relying on separately transcribed readings.
Standardized markings provide a repeatable pattern that the optical sensor can recognize and the digital level can compare with its stored scale. Consistent coding allows the same interpretation process to be applied across measurements. This standardization supports measurement consistency and helps limit errors associated with visually reading the staff.
A basic workflow begins by observing the marked staff through a digital level. The instrument captures the alternating bar-and-space pattern, matches it to the stored scale, and calculates the rod reading and staff position. The resulting measurement can then be recorded electronically, supporting a faster and more integrated leveling procedure.
Bar-code rods support several engineering activities, including land surveying, construction layout, infrastructure inspection, and deformation monitoring. They provide useful elevation-related measurement data for these tasks while automated readings improve collection speed and consistency. Direct electronic recording also helps organize survey results for engineering work that requires reliable, repeatable measurements.
