  2. Polytropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytropic_process

    A polytropic process is a thermodynamic process that obeys the relation: = where p is the pressure , V is volume , n is the polytropic index , and C is a constant. The polytropic process equation describes expansion and compression processes which include heat transfer.

  3. Food pyramid (nutrition) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_pyramid_(nutrition)

    A food pyramid's tip is the smallest part, so the fats and sweets in the top of the Food Pyramid should comprise the smallest percentage of the diet. The foods at the top of the food pyramid should be eaten sparingly because they provide calories, but not much in the way of nutrition.

  4. Polytrope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytrope

    A polytrope with index n = 3 is a good model for the cores of white dwarfs of higher masses, according to the equation of state of relativistic degenerate matter. [7] A polytrope with index n = 3 is usually also used to model main-sequence stars like the Sun, at least in the radiation zone, corresponding to the Eddington standard model of ...

  5. Energy flow (ecology) - Wikipedia

    A food pyramid and a corresponding food web, demonstrating some of the simpler patterns in a food web A graphic representation of energy transfer between trophic layers in an ecosystem Energy flow is the flow of energy through living things within an ecosystem . [ 1 ]

  6. Ecological pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_pyramid

    A pyramid of energy shows how much energy is retained in the form of new biomass from each trophic level, while a pyramid of biomass shows how much biomass (the amount of living or organic matter present in an organism) is present in the organisms. There is also a pyramid of numbers representing the number of individual organisms at each ...

  7. Dog food - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_food

    Some dog food products differentiate themselves as grain- or carbohydrate-free to offer the consumer an alternative, claiming carbohydrates in pet foods to be fillers with little or no nutritional value. A study published in Nature suggests that domestic dogs' ability to easily metabolize carbohydrates may be a key difference between wolves and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Medicine_Equation

    It is the equation which is behind the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the new food pyramid, MyPyramid. The Institute of Medicine equation uses a different approach to most others. The equation doesn't measure basal metabolic rate, but uses experiments based on doubly labelled water.
