Weber Test
The Weber test is a screening test for hearing performed with a tuning fork. It can detect Unilateral hearing loss, unilateral (one-sided) conductive hearing loss (middle ear hearing loss) and unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (inner ear hearing loss). The test is named after Ernst Heinrich Weber (1795–1878). Conductive hearing ability is mediated by the middle ear composed of the ossicles: the malleus, the incus, and the stapes. Sensorineural hearing ability is mediated by the inner ear composed of the cochlea with its internal basilar membrane and attached cochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII). The outer ear consisting of the pinna, ear canal, and ear drum or tympanic membrane transmits sounds to the middle ear but does not contribute to the conduction or sensorineural hearing ability save for hearing transmissions limited by cerumen impaction (wax collection in the ear canal). The Weber test has had its value as a screening test questioned in the literature. Weber tes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Weber River
The Weber River ( ) (Shoshone: Ho-o-pah) is a long river of northern Utah, United States. It begins in the northwest of the Uinta Mountains and empties into the Great Salt Lake. The Weber River was named for American fur trapper John Henry Weber. The Weber River rises in the northwest of the Uinta Mountains, at the foot of peaks including Bald Mountain, Notch Mountain, Mount Marsell, and Mount Watson. It passes by Oakley, and fills the reservoir of Rockport Lake, then turns north, receiving the flow of major tributaries Silver Creek at Wanship and Chalk Creek at Coalville. Coalville is also at the upper end of Echo Reservoir; Below the reservoir, the river passes Henefer, turns more westerly, and then passes Morgan, where it receives East Canyon Creek. Issuing out of the mountains at Uintah at the mouth of Weber Canyon, it turns north again where it is joined by the Ogden River west of Ogden. The combined stream meanders across mostly-flat land, entering mu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Weber Cup
The Weber Cup, named after professional ten-pin bowler Dick Weber, is a men's ten-pin bowling competition between Team Europe and Team USA. It is often referred to as "bowling's equivalent of golf's Ryder Cup". Each year, a team of five from the United States and a team of five from Europe bowl over three days. The tournament includes a series of single, double, and team (baker) matches. From 2007 onward, the competition plays 33 matches, and the first team to receive 17 points wins the tournament. History and background The Weber Cup is the annual ten-pin bowling championship between the United States and Europe. The Weber Cup is live on Sky Sports in the UK, and on many other international channels around the world. The Weber Cup championship begins every year in October. For the first seven events, from 2000 to 2006, 35 matches were played. Each match is worth one point, and the first team to obtain 18 points wins the tournament. All matches are played in a single lane a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Weber Piano Company
The Weber Piano Company is a former piano manufacturing company based in New York City and East Rochester, New York from the middle of the 19th century through the beginning of the 20th century, and continued as a division of Aeolian Company, Aeolian-American at East Rochester, New York until 1985, when Aeolian went out of business.

Weber Manuscript
__NOTOC__ The Weber Manuscript, also called Weber Manuscripts, is a collection of nine, possibly eleven, incomplete ancient Indian treatises written mostly in classical Sanskrit that were found buried within a Buddhist monument in northwestern China in late 19th-century. It is named after the Moravian missionary F. Weber who acquired the set from an Afghani merchant in Ladakh, and then forwarded it to the German Indologist and philologist Rudolf Hoernlé in Calcutta. The manuscripts consist of 76 page-leaves, written in Northwestern Gupta and Central Asian Nagari (Turkestanic Brahmi, slanting Gupta) scripts. They were copied before the end of 7th-century, likely in the 5th-century or the 6th–century.; The original texts that were copied to produce these manuscripts were likely considerably older Indian texts, at least one between 3rd-century BCE and pre-2nd-century CE. The Weber Manuscript is notable for having been written on two types of paper – Central Asian and Nepalese, att ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Weber (unit)
In physics, the weber ( ; symbol: Wb) is the unit of magnetic flux in the International System of Units (SI). The unit is derived (through Faraday's law of induction) from the relationship (volt-second). A magnetic flux density of 1 Wb/m2 (one weber per square metre) is one tesla. The weber is named after the German physicist Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804–1891). Definition The weber may be defined in terms of Faraday's law, which relates a changing magnetic flux through a loop to the electric field around the loop. A change in flux of one weber per second will induce an electromotive force of one volt (produce an electric potential difference of one volt across two open-circuited terminals). Officially: That is: \mathrm = \mathrm\mathrm. One weber is also the total magnetic flux across a surface of one square meter perpendicular to a magnetic flux density of one tesla; that is, \mathrm = \mathrm\mathrm^2. Expressed only in SI base units, 1 weber is: \mathrm = ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The school was scheduled to close in June 1999. new URL/ref> The heritage of Weber is kept alive through the Weber High School Alumni Association.
