A related concept is one part per ten thousand, 1 / 10,000 .The same unit is also (rarely) called a permyriad, literally meaning "for (every) myriad (ten thousand)". [4] [5] If used interchangeably with basis point, the permyriad is potentially confusing because an increase of one basis point to a 10 basis point value is generally understood to mean an increase to 11 basis points; not ...
A Reputed Pint of beer was equal to 285 mL (1/2 an Ale Pint, or equivalent to 10 imperial oz. or 9.63 US oz.) and a Reputed Quart of wine was equal to 730 mL (3/4 of a Wine Quart, or equivalent to 25.69 Imp. oz. or 24.68 US fluid oz.).
Individuals for which the same situation applies for their 1024 ancestors of ten generations ago would have a coefficient of r = 2 −10 = 0.1%. If follows that the value of r can be given to an accuracy of a few percent if the family tree of both individuals is known for a depth of five generations, and to an accuracy of a tenth of a percent ...
Specific gravity is the density of a liquid relative to that of water, i.e., if the density of the liquid is 1.05 times that of water, it has a specific gravity of 1.05. In UK brewing usage, it is customary to regard the reference value for water to be 1000, so the specific gravity of the same example beer would be quoted as 1050.

For example, with a true elongation of 0.2, AlMg0.5 has a flow voltage of about 100 N/mm 2, AlMg one of 150 N/mm 2, AlMg 3 of 230 N/mm 2 and AlMg4.5Mn0.4 of about 300 N/mm 2. The higher the alloy content and the greater the elongation, the greater the resulting PLC effect and the Lüders effect .
