    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monroe_Systems_for_Business

    Monroe Systems for Business is a provider of electric calculators, printers, and office accessories such as paper shredders to business clients. [1] Originally known as the Monroe Calculating Machine Company, it was founded in 1912 by Jay Randolph Monroe as a maker of adding machines and calculators based on a machine designed by Frank Stephen Baldwin.

  3. Pound (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(mass)

    The equivalence for the pound was given as 1 lb = 453.592 65 g or 0.45359 kg, which made the kilogram equivalent to about 2.204 6213 lb. In 1883, it was determined jointly by the standards department of the British Board of Trade and the Bureau International that 0.453 592 4277 kg was a better approximation, and this figure, rounded to 0.453 ...

    Space launch market competition is the manifestation of market forces in the launch service provider business. [1] In particular it is the trend of competitive dynamics among payload transport capabilities at diverse prices having a greater influence on launch purchasing than the traditional political considerations of country of manufacture or the national entity using, regulating or ...

    Schematic of D2Q9 lattice vectors for 2D Lattice Boltzmann. Unlike CFD methods that solve the conservation equations of macroscopic properties (i.e., mass, momentum, and energy) numerically, LBM models the fluid consisting of fictive particles, and such particles perform consecutive propagation and collision processes over a discrete lattice.

    BMI vs. Body Fat. We’ll start at the very beginning: Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of someone’s weight compared to their height whereas body fat percentage is a measure of how much body ...

  9. Lattice Boltzmann methods for solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_Boltzmann_methods...

    Solving solid equations within the LBM framework is still a very active area of research. If solids are solved, this shows that the Boltzmann equation is capable of describing solid motions as well as fluids and gases: thus unlocking complex physics to be solved such as fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in biomechanics.
