3. Doubling time - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time

   As an example, Canada's net population growth was 2.7 percent in the year 2022, dividing 72 by 2.7 gives an approximate doubling time of about 27 years. Thus if that growth rate were to remain constant, Canada's population would double from its 2023 figure of about 39 million to about 78 million by 2050.

   24-hour digital clock in Miaoli HSR station. A public 24-hour clock in Curitiba, Brazil, with the hour hand on the outside and the minute hand on the inside.. A time of day is written in the 24-hour notation in the form hh:mm (for example 01:23) or hh:mm:ss (for example, 01:23:45), where hh (00 to 23) is the number of full hours that have passed since midnight, mm (00 to 59) is the number of ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

   The number π (/ p aɪ /; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

6. 24-hour analog dial - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_analog_dial

   Using the numbers from 0 to 23 (or 1 to 24) to mark the day is the 24-hour clock system. Sundials use 24-hour analog dials—the shadow traces a path that repeats approximately once per day. Many sundials are marked with the double-XII or double-12 system, in which the numbers I to XII (or 1 to 12) are used twice, once for the morning hours ...

7. Euler's constant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_constant

   The area of the blue region converges to Euler's constant. Euler's constant (sometimes called the Euler–Mascheroni constant) is a mathematical constant, usually denoted by the lowercase Greek letter gamma (γ), defined as the limiting difference between the harmonic series and the natural logarithm, denoted here by log:

8. Energy density - Wikipedia

   A 1 inch tall uranium fuel pellet is equivalent to about 1 ton of coal, 120 gallons of crude oil, or 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas. [15] In light-water reactors , 1 kg of natural uranium – following a corresponding enrichment and used for power generation– is equivalent to the energy content of nearly 10,000 kg of mineral oil or 14,000 ...

   Initial estimates of the basic reproduction number (R 0) for COVID-19 in January 2020 were between 1.4 and 2.5, [58] but a subsequent analysis claimed that it may be about 5.7 (with a 95 per cent confidence interval of 3.8 to 8.9). [59] In December 2021, the number of cases continued to climb due to several factors, including new COVID-19 variants.
