The detector was placed in the 6th row and measurements were done from x=1 to x=7. | The detector was placed in the 6th row and measurements were made from x=1 to x=7. |
A rapid trawl showed that the commonest collocate for measurements with this meaning was make. A subsequent more detailed investigation of texts from New Scientist, Nature and the OUP Academic Texts Corpus produced the following figures:
make | 31 |
take | 6 |
perform | 3 |
obtain | 2 |
carry out | 1 |
do | 1 |
record | 1 |
It was interesting to note that the verb do did turn up in the more detailed data, but its relative infequency compared with make seems to justify the revision.

Bec 15 t Newton's law of gravity rely on gravity measurements made along a vertical path: in a 1,00 16 m is provided by balloon-and rocket-borne measurements made near Kiruna, northern Sweden, in 17 t Newton's law of gravity rely on gravity measurements made along a vertical path: in a 1,00 18 ese Figure 4). In August 1991 we analysed measurements made during the 1990 dives at TAG. We 19 1958, and has been directly monitored by measurements made from the top of Mauna Loa, in Ha 20 ment veneer of new ocean floor. The first measurements, made in the late 1940s and early 195 21 ure of the University of Hawaii have made measurements of red supergiant stars in a small bu 22 to prepare reagents to make simultaneous measurements of agonist and antagonist levels in d 23 this experimentally, we made quantitative measurements of the photoemission from 50 individu 24 riments on board Ulysses that made direct measurements of charged particles and radiation. 25 etween Pluto and Earth. They made precise measurements of the overall brightness of Pluto. K 26 osed that a tethered satellite could make measurements of the Earth's upper atmosphere. Col 27 f their construction and the experimental measurements that can be made. Ours is now describ 28 few days to a year or more, still making measurements. Then an electronic signal from the m 29 y detector with which most of the neutron measurements were made is an oil-moderated assembl 30 and a condensation-nuclei detector. ACIMS measurements were made during ascent and parachute 31 n of olivine, and of pure perovskite. The measurements were made in an externally heated dia 32 ructure. By drilling, geologists can take measurements and sample rocks and gases at various 33 he data into a map. At Lanchester we took measurements at half-metre intervals - small enoug 34 ntes aircraft belonging to INPE will take measurements during 10 flights over central Brazil 35 solidly built - which is why taking body measurements is also important. We need to know ho 36 ay be explained by two factors: (1) their measurements were taken too long after the applica 37 arance you admire) to take his or her own measurements. You can then compare your friend's 38 h enflurane and sevoflurane by performing measurements at two temperatures (300 K and 422 K) 39 er of being irradiated by neutrons. These measurements must be performed immediately, says P 40 n 30 January 1989 at Esrange. Here, ACIMS measurements were performed during parachute desce 41 row component to the 1,083- nm He I line. Measurements were obtained on six occasions betwee 42 very different rates (Table 16.5). Since measurements have been obtained from only a few si 43 ed in Fig. 2. Both twilight and nighttime measurements have been carried out. Modelling stud 44 ing - we would have to do some scientific measurements." Another tricky area is that of def 45 cision with which the times of events and measurements of duration were recorded. John Nef,
