  2. Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Report_on_Global...

    [1] [7] Meeting the Paris target of 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) is possible but would require "deep emissions reductions", "rapid", [7] "far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society". [8] In order to achieve the 1.5 °C target, CO 2 emissions must decline by 45% (relative to 2010 levels) by 2030, reaching net zero by around 2050

  3. Alcohol by volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume

    In some countries, e.g. France, alcohol by volume is often referred to as degrees Gay-Lussac (after the French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac), [5] although there is a slight difference since the Gay-Lussac convention uses the International Standard Atmosphere value for temperature, 15 °C (59 °F).

  4. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(slope)

    This is not the usual way to specify slope; this nonstandard expression follows the sine function rather than the tangent function, so it calls a 45 degree slope a 71 percent grade instead of a 100 percent. But in practice the usual way to calculate slope is to measure the distance along the slope and the vertical rise, and calculate the ...

  5. Aluminium–magnesium alloys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–magnesium_alloys

    The solubility of magnesium is very high in aluminium and reaches a maximum at 450 °C with 14% to 17% depending on the literature reference. At 34.5%, there is a Eutectic with Al 8 Mg 5 (sometimes referred to as Al 3 Mg 2), an intermetallic phase (-phase).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tert-Butyl_acetate

    tert-Butyl acetate, t-butyl acetate or TBAc is a colorless flammable liquid with a camphor- or blueberry-like smell.It is used as a solvent in the production of lacquers, enamels, inks, adhesives, thinners and industrial cleaners.

  7. Electric energy consumption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_energy_consumption

    Many new nuclear plants will be constructed, mainly to replace old ones. The nuclear part of electricity generation will increase from 11 to 12%. The renewable part goes up much more, from 21 to 33%. The IEA warns that in order to restrict global warming to 2 °C, carbon dioxide emissions [22] must not exceed 1000 gigaton (Gt) from 2014. This ...

  8. Titanium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium

    Via the Kroll process, TiCl 4 is used in the conversion of titanium ores to titanium metal. Titanium tetrachloride is also used to make titanium dioxide, e.g., for use in white paint. [ 52 ] It is widely used in organic chemistry as a Lewis acid , for example in the Mukaiyama aldol condensation . [ 53 ]

  9. Ethiopia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopia

    The average annual temperature in Addis Ababa is 16 °C (60.8 °F), with daily maximum temperatures averaging 20–25 °C (68.0–77.0 °F) throughout the year, and overnight lows averaging 5–10 °C (41.0–50.0 °F). Most major cities and tourist sites in Ethiopia lie at a similar elevation to Addis Ababa and have a comparable climate.
