  2. Redfield ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redfield_ratio

    The Redfield ratio or Redfield stoichiometry is the consistent atomic ratio of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus found in marine phytoplankton and throughout the deep oceans. The term is named for American oceanographer Alfred C. Redfield who in 1934 first described the relatively consistent ratio of nutrients in marine biomass samples collected ...

  3. Labeling of fertilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labeling_of_fertilizer

    The second number ("P value") is the percentage by weight of phosphorus pentoxide P 2 O 5. The third number ("K value") is the equivalent content of potassium oxide K 2 O. [3] For example, a 15-13-20 fertilizer would contain 15% by weight of nitrogen, 13% by weight of P 2 O 5, 20% by weight of K 2 O, and 52% of some inert ingredient.

  4. Neutron–proton ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron–proton_ratio

    Category. v. t. e. The neutron–proton ratio (N/Z ratio or nuclear ratio) of an atomic nucleus is the ratio of its number of neutrons to its number of protons. Among stable nuclei and naturally occurring nuclei, this ratio generally increases with increasing atomic number. [1] This is because electrical repulsive forces between protons scale ...

  5. Ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

    For example, a ratio of 3:2 is the same as 12:8. It is usual either to reduce terms to the lowest common denominator, or to express them in parts per hundred . If a mixture contains substances A, B, C and D in the ratio 5:9:4:2 then there are 5 parts of A for every 9 parts of B, 4 parts of C and 2 parts of D.

  6. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    Commonly, a binomial coefficient is indexed by a pair of integers nk ≥ 0 and is written It is the coefficient of the xk term in the polynomial expansion of the binomial power (1 + x)n; this coefficient can be computed by the multiplicative formula. which using factorial notation can be compactly expressed as.

  7. Silver ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_ratio

    The silver ratio is a Pisot–Vijayaraghavan number (PV number), as its conjugate 1 − √ 2 = ⁠ −1 δS⁠ ≈ −0.41421 has absolute value less than 1. In fact it is the second smallest quadratic PV number after the golden ratio. This means the distance from δ n. S to the nearest integer is ⁠ 1 δ n.

  8. Section formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_formula

    Section formula. In coordinate geometry, the Section formula is a formula used to find the ratio in which a line segment is divided by a point internally or externally. [1] It is used to find out the centroid, incenter and excenters of a triangle. In physics, it is used to find the center of mass of systems, equilibrium points, etc. [2][3][4][5]

  9. Binomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_distribution

    The binomial distribution is the PMF of k successes given n independent events each with a probability p of success. Mathematically, when α = k + 1 and β = nk + 1, the beta distribution and the binomial distribution are related by [clarification needed] a factor of n + 1:
