2. De materia medica - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Materia_Medica

   De materia medica (Greek: Περὶ ὕλης ἰατρικῆς /Peri hulēs iatrikēs/), On Medical Material, is a comprehensive pharmacopoeia on medicinal plants and the medicines derived from them. Written between 50 and 70 CE by Pedanius Dioscorides, a Greek physician in the Roman army, this five-volume encyclopedia became the foremost ...

3. Volume of distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_distribution

   In pharmacology, the volume of distribution (V D, also known as apparent volume of distribution, literally, volume of dilution[1]) is the theoretical volume that would be necessary to contain the total amount of an administered drug at the same concentration that it is observed in the blood plasma. [2] In other words, it is the ratio of amount ...

4. Mean corpuscular volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_corpuscular_volume

   The MCV can be conceptualized as the total volume of a group of cells divided by the number of cells. For a real world sized example, imagine you had 10 small jellybeans with a combined volume of 10 μL. The mean volume of a jellybean in this group would be 10 μL / 10 jellybeans = 1 μL / jellybean. A similar calculation works for MCV.

5. Density - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

   Density (volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho), although the Latin letter D can also be used. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume: [1] where ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume.

6. Compactness measure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compactness_measure

   A common compactness measure is the isoperimetric quotient, the ratio of the area of the shape to the area of a circle (the most compact shape) having the same perimeter. In the plane, this is equivalent to the Polsby–Popper test. Alternatively, the shape's area could be compared to that of its bounding circle, [1][2] its convex hull, [1][3 ...

7. Random close pack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_close_pack

   Random close packing (RCP) of spheres is an empirical parameter used to characterize the maximum volume fraction of solid objects obtained when they are packed randomly. For example, when a solid container is filled with grain, shaking the container will reduce the volume taken up by the objects, thus allowing more grain to be added to the container.
