At the height of the Roman Empire a sextarius (546 ml or about 2 1 ⁄ 4 American cups) of ordinary wine cost roughly one dupondius (1 ⁄ 8 of a denarius); after Diocletian's Edict on Maximum Prices was issued in 301 AD, the same item cost 8 debased common denarii – 6300% inflation. Silver content plummeted across the lifespan of the denarius.
A temperature interval of 1 °F was equal to an interval of 5 ⁄ 9 degrees Celsius. With the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales now both defined by the kelvin, this relationship was preserved, a temperature interval of 1 °F being equal to an interval of 5 ⁄ 9 K and of 5 ⁄ 9 °C. The Fahrenheit and Celsius scales intersect numerically at −40 ...
Cartridge dimensions. The 14.5 × 114 mm has 42.53 ml (655 grains H 2 O) cartridge case capacity. The exterior shape of the case was designed to promote reliable case feeding and extraction in bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic rifles, and heavy machine guns alike, under extreme conditions. 14.5×114 mm maximum cartridge dimensions.
Milk is now available in a variety of sizes in paperboard milk cartons (250 mL, 375 mL, 600 mL, 1 liter and 1.5 liters) and plastic bottles (1, 2 and 3 liters). A significant addition to the marketplace has been "long-life" milk ( UHT ), generally available in 1 and 2 liter rectangular cardboard cartons.
For added sugars, the guidance is that 100% DV should not be exceeded. 100% DV is defined as 50 grams. For a person consuming 2000 calories a day, 50 grams is equal to 200 calories and thus 10% of total calories—the same guidance as the WHO. [149] To put this in context, most 12-US-fluid-ounce (355 ml) cans of soda contain 39 grams of sugar.
Vitamin K is a family of structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamers found in foods and marketed as dietary supplements. [1] The human body requires vitamin K for post-synthesis modification of certain proteins that are required for blood coagulation ("K" from Danish koagulation, for "coagulation") or for controlling binding of calcium in bones and other tissues.

One radian is defined as the angle subtended from the center of a circle which intercepts an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle. [6] More generally, the magnitude in radians of a subtended angle is equal to the ratio of the arc length to the radius of the circle; that is, =, where θ is the magnitude of the subtended angle in radians (= angle/rad), s is arc length, and r is radius.
[17] Moreover, the slogan "two plus two equals five", is the title of the collection of absurdist short stories Deux et deux font cinq (Two and Two Make Five, 1895), by Alphonse Allais; [1] and the title of the imagist art manifesto 2 x 2 = 5 (1920), by the poet Vadim Shershenevich. [2]
