Micrometer \Mi*crom"e*ter\, n. [Micro- + -meter: cf. F.       microm[8a]tre.]       An instrument, used with a telescope or microscope, for       measuring minute distances, or the apparent diameters of       objects which subtend minute angles. The measurement given       directly is that of the image of the object formed at the       focus of the object glass.          {Circular, [or] Ring}, {micrometer}, a metallic ring fixed in             the focus of the object glass of a telescope, and used to             determine differences of right ascension and declination             between stars by observations of the times at which the             stars cross the inner or outer periphery of the ring.          {Double image micrometer}, a micrometer in which two images             of an object are formed in the field, usually by the two             halves of a bisected lens which are movable along their             line of section by a screw, and distances are determined             by the number of screw revolutions necessary to bring the             points to be measured into optical coincidence. When the             two images are formed by a bisected object glass, it is             called a divided-object-glass micrometer, and when the             instrument is large and equatorially mounted, it is known             as a heliometer.          {Double refraction micrometer}, a species of double image             micrometer, in which the two images are formed by the             double refraction of rock crystal.          {Filar, [or] Bifilar}, {micrometer}.

MIGRAINES          A {graphical user interface} for evaluating and       interacting with the {Aspirin} {neural network} simulation.          Utilities exist for moving quickly from an {Aspirin}       description of a network directly to an executable program for       simulating and evaluating that network.   MIGRAINES has been       kept separate from Aspirin so that its limitations do not       restrict the performance of Aspirin.   However, in practice,       they are used together.   This combination allows for simple       specification and creation of efficient neural network systems       that can be graphically analysed and tested.          [Aspirin/MIGRAINES Neural Network Software User's Manual,       Release v6.0 MP-91W00050, Copyright 1992 by Russel Leighton       and the MITRE Corporation].          (1995-03-07)

The islands have few mineral deposits worth exploiting,    except for high-grade phosphate. The potential for a tourist industry    exists, but the remoteness of the location and a lack of adequate    facilities hinder development. Financial assistance from the US is the    primary source of revenue, with the US pledged to spend $1 billion in    the islands in the 1990s. Geographical isolation and a poorly    developed infrastructure are major impediments to long-term growth.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $160 million (1990    est.)    note: GDP was supplemented by approximately $100 million in grant aid    in 1990       National product real growth rate: 4% (1994)       National product per capita: $1,500 (1990 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): NA%       Unemployment rate: 27% (1989)       Budget:    revenues: $45 million    expenditures: $31 million, including capital expenditures of $NA    (FY94/95 est.)       Exports: $3.2 million (f.o.b., 1990)    commodities: fish, copra, bananas, black pepper    partners: Japan, US       Imports: $91.2 million (c.i.f., 1990)    commodities: food, manufactured goods, machinery and equipment,    beverages    partners: US, Japan, Australia       External debt: $NA       Industrial production: growth rate NA%       Electricity:    capacity: 18,000 kW    production: 40 million kWh    consumption per capita: 380 kWh (1990)       Industries: tourism, construction, fish processing, craft items from    shell, wood, and pearls       Agriculture: mainly a subsistence economy; black pepper; tropical    fruits and vegetables, coconuts, cassava, sweet potatoes, pigs,    chickens       Economic aid:    recipient: under terms of the Compact of Free Association, the US will    provide $1.3 billion in grant aid during the period 1986-2001       Currency: 1 United States dollar (US$) = 100 cents       Exchange rates: US currency is used       Fiscal year: 1 October - 30 September       Micronesia, Federated States Of:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 226 km    paved: 39 km (on major islands)    unpaved: stone, coral, laterite 187 km       Ports: Colonia (Yap), Kolonia (Pohnpei), Lele, Moen       Merchant marine: none       Airports:    total: 6    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 4    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 1    with paved runways under 914 m: 1       Micronesia, Federated States Of:Communications       Telephone system: 960 telephones on Kolonia and Truk    local: NA    intercity: islands interconnected by shortwave radio (used mostly for    government purposes    international: 4 INTELSAT (Pacific Ocean) earth stations       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 5, FM 1, shortwave 1    radios: 16,000       Television:    broadcast stations: 6    televisions: 1,125 (1987 est.)       Micronesia, Federated States Of:Defense Forces       Note: defense is the responsibility of the US
