  2. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    Since the density of dry air at 101.325 kPa at 20 °C is [10] 0.001205 g/cm 3 and that of water is 0.998203 g/cm 3 we see that the difference between true and apparent relative densities for a substance with relative density (20 °C/20 °C) of about 1.100 would be 0.000120. Where the relative density of the sample is close to that of water (for ...

  3. High-g training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-G_training

    The 20 g centrifuge at the NASA Ames Research Center. High-g training is done by aviators and astronauts who are subject to high levels of acceleration ('g'). It is designed to prevent a g-induced loss of consciousness (g-LOC), a situation when the action of g-forces moves the blood away from the brain to the extent that consciousness is lost.

  4. Gravity (alcoholic beverage) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_(alcoholic_beverage)

    The ratio depends on the temperature and pressure of both the sample and water. The pressure is always considered (in brewing) to be 1 standard atmosphere (1,013.25 hPa) and the temperature is usually 20 °C (68 °F) for both sample and water but in some parts of the world different temperatures may be used and there are hydrometers sold ...

  5. Thrust-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust-to-weight_ratio

    The thrust-to-weight ratio is usually calculated from initial gross weight at sea level on earth [6] and is sometimes called thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio. [7] The thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio of a rocket or rocket-propelled vehicle is an indicator of its acceleration expressed in multiples of earth's gravitational acceleration, g 0 .

  6. Coefficient of variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_variation

    [20] [21] [22] If x (with entries x i) is a list of the values of an economic indicator (e.g. wealth), with x i being the wealth of agent i, then the following requirements are met: Anonymity – c v is independent of the ordering of the list x. This follows from the fact that the variance and mean are independent of the ordering of x.

  7. CD4+/CD8+ ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD4+/CD8+_ratio

    An inverted CD4 + /CD8 + ratio (namely, less than 1/1) indicates an impaired immune system. [3] [4] [5] Conversely, an increased CD4 + /CD8 + ratio corresponds to increased immune function. [6] Obesity and dysregulated lipid metabolism in the liver leads to loss of CD4 +, but not CD8 + cells, contributing to the induction of liver cancer. [7]

  8. E/A ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E/A_ratio

    The E/A ratio is a marker of the function of the left ventricle of the heart. It represents the ratio of peak velocity blood flow from left ventricular relaxation in early diastole (the E wave) to peak velocity flow in late diastole caused by atrial contraction (the A wave). [ 1 ]

  9. Grade (slope) - Wikipedia

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

    as a ratio of one part rise to so many parts run. For example, a slope that has a rise of 5 feet for every 1000 feet of run would have a slope ratio of 1 in 200. (The word "in" is normally used rather than the mathematical ratio notation of "1:200".) This is generally the method used to describe railway grades in Australia and the UK.
