Together they accounted for the consumption of over 2400 billion m 3 embodied water, roughly equating to 40% of total embodied [clarification needed] water by the whole system. [51] This means that more than one-third of China's entire water consumption is being used for food processing purposes, and mostly for animal agricultural practices.
However, single family households have 50% more persons and triple the floor space. Usage per square foot of living space is roughly equal for most housing types except small apartment buildings and mobile homes. Small apartments are more likely to be older than other housing types, [73] while mobile homes tend to have poor insulation. [74]
Net lending (+)/borrowing (-) is also equal to net acquisition of financial assets minus net incurrence of liabilities." [ 3 ] According to World Bank , "revenue is cash receipts from taxes, social contributions, and other revenues such as fines, fees, rent, and income from property or sales.
The notion that space is limited has been decried by skeptics, [174] who point out that the Earth's population of roughly 6.8 billion people could comfortably be housed an area comparable in size to the state of Texas in the United States (about 269,000 square miles or 696,706.80 square kilometres). [175]
The "kiloton (of TNT equivalent)" is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 terajoules (4.184 × 10 12 J). [2] A kiloton of TNT can be visualized as a cube of TNT 8.46 metres (27.8 ft) on a side. The "megaton (of TNT equivalent)" is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 petajoules (4.184 × 10 15 J). [3]
Nearly all of Thai production is consumed locally. Almost 85% of palm plantations and extraction mills are in south Thailand. At year-end 2016, 4.7 to 5.8 million rai (750,000 to 930,000 hectares; 1,900,000 to 2,300,000 acres) were planted in oil palms, employing 300,000 farmers, mostly on small landholdings of 20 rai (3.2 hectares; 7.9 acres).
Two equal hemispheres of plutonium-gallium alloy were plated with silver, [59] [65] and designated by serial numbers HS-1 and HS-2. [66] The 6.19-kilogram (13.6 lb) radioactive core generated 15 W of heat, which warmed it up to about 100 to 110 °F (38 to 43 °C), [ 59 ] and the silver plating developed blisters that had to be filed down and ...
The Hubble constant is most frequently quoted in km/s/Mpc, which gives the speed of a galaxy 1 megaparsec (3.09 × 10 19 km) away as 70 km/s. Simplifying the units of the generalized form reveals that H 0 specifies a frequency (SI unit: s −1), leading the reciprocal of H 0 to be known as the Hubble time (14.4 billion years). The Hubble ...
