  2. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    Trains typically rate much lower than automobiles. The highest grade a vehicle can ascend while maintaining a particular speed is sometimes termed that vehicle's "gradeability" (or, less often, "grade ability"). The lateral slopes of a highway geometry are sometimes called fills or cuts where these techniques have been used to create them.

  3. Gradian - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradian

    [18] [19] Today, the degree, ⁠ 1 / 360 ⁠ of a turn, or the mathematically more convenient radian, ⁠ 1 / 2 π ⁠ of a turn (used in the SI system of units) is generally used instead. In the 1970s – 1990s, most scientific calculators offered the gon (gradian), as well as radians and degrees, for their trigonometric functions . [ 23 ]

  4. Diethylene glycol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethylene_glycol

    Diethylene glycol (DEG) is an organic compound with the formula (HOCH 2 CH 2) 2 O. It is a colorless, practically odorless, and hygroscopic liquid with a sweetish taste. It is a four carbon dimer of ethylene glycol. It is miscible in water, alcohol, ether, acetone, and ethylene glycol. [3] DEG is a widely used solvent. [4]

  5. Standard state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_state

    The standard state of a material (pure substance, mixture or solution) is a reference point used to calculate its properties under different conditions.A degree sign (°) or a superscript Plimsoll symbol (⦵) is used to designate a thermodynamic quantity in the standard state, such as change in enthalpy (ΔH°), change in entropy (ΔS°), or change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG°).

  6. Binary angular measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_angular_measurement

    Binary angular measurement (BAM) [1] (and the binary angular measurement system, BAMS [2]) is a measure of angles using binary numbers and fixed-point arithmetic, in which a full turn is represented by the value 1. The unit of angular measure used in those methods may be called binary radian (brad) or binary degree.

  7. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    The absolute value of this correction is above, the amount you would subtract from the tape measurement to get the true span distance. A Taylor series expansion of δ {\displaystyle \delta } in terms of the quantity L {\displaystyle L} is desired to give a good first approximation to the correction.

  8. Shore durometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shore_durometer

    The final value of the hardness depends on the depth of the indenter after it has been applied for 15 seconds on the material. If the indenter penetrates 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) or more into the material, the durometer is 0 for that scale. If it does not penetrate at all, then the durometer is 100 for that scale.

  9. Degree of a continuous mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_continuous_mapping

    One can also define degree modulo 2 (deg 2 (f)) the same way as before but taking the fundamental class in Z 2 homology. In this case deg 2 ( f ) is an element of Z 2 (the field with two elements ), the manifolds need not be orientable and if n is the number of preimages of p as before then deg 2 ( f ) is n modulo 2.
