  2. Aging in dogs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aging_in_dogs

    The aging profile of dogs varies according to their adult size (often determined by their breed): smaller breeds have an average lifespan of 10–15 years, with some even exceeding 18 years in age; medium breeds typically live for 10 to 13 years; and giant dog breeds have the lowest minimum lifespan, with an overall average of 8 to 13 years ...

  3. Kleiber's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleiber's_law

    k ′ in particular describes the surface area ratio of organisms and is approximately 0.1 kJ·h −1 ·g −2/3; [20] typical values for f are 15-20%. [21] The theoretical maximum value of f is 21%, because the efficiency of glucose oxidation is only 42%, and half of the ATP so produced is wasted. [20]

  4. Pilling–Bedworth ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilling–Bedworth_ratio

    Scheme of the oxide structure and the Pilling–Bedworth ratio. On the basis of measurements, the following connection can be shown: R PB < 1: the oxide coating layer is too thin, likely broken and provides no protective effect (for example magnesium) R PB > 2: the oxide coating chips off and provides no protective effect (example iron)

  5. Dogs don't actually age 7 times faster than humans, new study ...

    Say you have a 4-year-old Labrador named Comet — with the new equation, Comet's real "dog age" would be slightly older than 53. The reason for the difference is actually pretty simple.

  6. Lead–lead dating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–lead_dating

    In this diagram the 204 Pb/ 206 Pb ratio (the reciprocal of the normal ratio) is plotted on the x-axis, so that a point on the y axis (zero 204 Pb/ 206 Pb) would have infinitely radiogenic Pb. The ratio plotted on this axis is the 207 Pb/ 206 Pb ratio, corresponding to the slope of a normal Pb/Pb isochron, which yields the age. The most ...

  7. Puppy nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppy_nutrition

    A ratio of 1.3:1 will allow for good phosphorus retention, but levels above a ratio of 2:1 will decrease phosphorus retention. [13] Raising puppies on diets containing excess calcium and phosphorus will result in osteochondrosis which disturbs bone remodeling and cartilage and bone maturation.

  8. Bite force quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bite_force_quotient

    Consequently, small species would be expected to bite harder for their size than large species if a simple ratio of bite force to body mass is used, resulting in bias. Applying the BFQ normalizes the data allowing for fair comparison between species of different sizes in much the same way as an encephalization quotient normalizes data for brain ...

  9. Isotopes of lead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_lead

    Lead (82 Pb) has four observationally stable isotopes: 204 Pb, 206 Pb, 207 Pb, 208 Pb. Lead-204 is entirely a primordial nuclide and is not a radiogenic nuclide.The three isotopes lead-206, lead-207, and lead-208 represent the ends of three decay chains: the uranium series (or radium series), the actinium series, and the thorium series, respectively; a fourth decay chain, the neptunium series ...
