  2. Minifloat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minifloat

    A minifloat in 1 byte (8 bit) with 1 sign bit, 4 exponent bits and 3 significand bits (in short, a 1.4.3 minifloat) is demonstrated here. The exponent bias is defined as 7 to center the values around 1 to match other IEEE 754 floats [ 3 ] [ 4 ] so (for most values) the actual multiplier for exponent x is 2 x −7 .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable.The general form of its probability density function is [2] [3] = ().

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

    So, instead of 78/64 inch, or 1 14/64 inch, the size is noted as 1 7/32 inch. Below is a chart providing the decimal-fraction equivalents that are most relevant to fractional-inch drill bit sizes (that is, 0 to 1 by 64ths).

  5. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    while shutter speeds in reciprocal seconds have a few conventional differences in their numbers (1 ⁄ 15, 1 ⁄ 30, and 1 ⁄ 60 second instead of 1 ⁄ 16, 1 ⁄ 32, and 1 ⁄ 64). In practice the maximum aperture of a lens is often not an integral power of √ 2 (i.e., √ 2 to the power of a whole number), in which case it is usually a half ...

  6. Partial pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_pressure

    The atmospheric pressure is roughly equal to the sum of partial pressures of constituent gases – oxygen, nitrogen, argon, water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc.. In a mixture of gases, each constituent gas has a partial pressure which is the notional pressure of that constituent gas as if it alone occupied the entire volume of the original mixture at the same temperature.

    1 ~0.027 Radon concentration at the shores of large oceans is typically 1 Bq/m 3. Radon trace concentration above oceans or in Antarctica can be lower than 0.1 Bq/m 3, [102] with changes in radon levels being used to track foreign pollutants. [103] 10: 0.27 Mean continental concentration in the open air: 10 to 30 Bq/m 3.

    The Sri Lankan economic crisis [8] is a in Sri Lanka that started in 2019. [9] It is the country's worst economic crisis since its independence in 1948. [9] It has led to unprecedented levels of inflation, near-depletion of foreign exchange reserves, shortages of medical supplies, and an increase in prices of basic commodities. [10]

    The interest rate on one-year adjustable rate mortgages (1/1 ARMs) fell 3 percentage points (from about 7% to about 4%). Richard Fisher, president of the Dallas Fed, said in 2006 that the Fed's low interest-rate policies unintentionally prompted speculation in the housing market, and that the subsequent "substantial correction [is] inflicting ...
