  2. Borda–Carnot equation - Wikipedia

    In other instances, the loss coefficient has to be determined by other means, most often from empirical formulae (based on data obtained by experiments). The Borda–Carnot loss equation is only valid for decreasing velocity, v 1 > v 2, otherwise the loss ΔE is zero – without mechanical work by additional external forces there cannot be a ...

    For the Chinese government, experimentation comes in three main forms as (1) experimental regulation (provisional rules made for trial implementation), (2) "experimental points" (model demonstrations and pilot projects in a specific policy domain), and (3) "experimental zones" (local jurisdictions with broad discretionary powers).

    Nuisance variable effect on response variable Nuisance variable (sex) effect on response variable (weight loss) In the examples listed above, a nuisance variable is a variable that is not the primary focus of the study but can affect the outcomes of the experiment. [3]

    Louis Brandeis praised federalism as allowing states to experiment and make the best laws.. Laboratories of democracy is a phrase popularized by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis in New State Ice Co. v. Liebmann to describe how "a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the ...

  7. Friction loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_loss

    The friction loss is customarily given as pressure loss for a given duct length, Δp / L, in units of (US) inches of water for 100 feet or (SI) kg / m 2 / s 2. For specific choices of duct material, and assuming air at standard temperature and pressure (STP), standard charts can be used to calculate the expected friction loss.

    The response to losses is stronger than the response to corresponding gains" is Kahneman's definition of loss aversion. After the first 1979 proposal in the prospect theory framework paper, Tversky and Kahneman used loss aversion for a paper in 1991 about a consumer choice theory that incorporates reference dependence , loss aversion, and ...
