doppler-shift velocity measuring technique
1Doppler effect — Change of wavelength caused by motion of the source. An animation illustrating how the Doppler effect causes a car engine or siren to soun …
2Pulse-Doppler radar — Pulse Doppler is a radar system capable of not only detecting target location (bearing, range, and altitude), but also measuring its radial velocity (range rate). It uses the Doppler effect to determine the relative velocity of objects; pulses of …
3Laser Doppler velocimetry — (LDV, also known as laser Doppler anemometry, or LDA) is a technique for measuring the direction and speed of fluids (or any other material that is processed like metal, paper etc) like air and water. In its simplest form, LDV crosses two beams… …
4Transcranial doppler — (TCD) is a test that measures the velocity of blood flow through the brain s blood vessels. Used to help in the diagnosis of emboli, stenosis, vasospasm from a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding from a ruptured aneurysm), and other problems, this… …

8Cardiac output — (Q or or CO ) is the volume of blood being pumped by the heart, in particular by a left or right ventricle in the time interval of one minute. CO may be measured in many ways, for example dm3/min (1 dm3 equals 1000 cm3 or 1 litre). Q is… …
9Mössbauer effect — Physics. the phenomenon in which an atom in a crystal undergoes no recoil when emitting a gamma ray, giving all the emitted energy to the gamma ray, resulting in a sharply defined wavelength. [1955 60; named after R. MÖSSBAUER] * * * ▪ physics… …
