  2. Median lethal dose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_lethal_dose

    The median infective dose (ID 50) is the number of organisms received by a person or test animal qualified by the route of administration (e.g., 1,200 org/man per oral). Because of the difficulties in counting actual organisms in a dose, infective doses may be expressed in terms of biological assay, such as the number of LD 50 s to some test ...

  3. Isotopes of oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_oxygen

    Temperatures on the order of 10 9 kelvins are needed to fuse oxygen into sulfur. [11] An atomic mass of 16 was assigned to oxygen prior to the definition of the unified atomic mass unit based on 12 C. [12] Since physicists referred to 16 O only, while chemists meant the natural mix of isotopes, this led to slightly different mass scales.

  4. Hexadecimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal

    Hexadecimal (also known as base-16 or simply hex) is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 and "A"–"F" to represent values from ten to fifteen.

  5. Senary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senary

    Like the decimal base 10, the base is a semiprime, though it is unique as the product of the only two consecutive numbers that are both prime (2 and 3). As six is a superior highly composite number , many of the arguments made in favor of the duodecimal system also apply to the senary system.

  6. Octal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal

    To convert integer decimals to octal, divide the original number by the largest possible power of 8 and divide the remainders by successively smaller powers of 8 until the power is 1. The octal representation is formed by the quotients, written in the order generated by the algorithm. For example, to convert 125 10 to octal: 125 = 8 2 × 1 + 61

  7. Natural logarithm of 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm_of_2

    In a third layer, the logarithms of rational numbers r = ⁠ a / b ⁠ are computed with ln(r) = ln(a) − ln(b), and logarithms of roots via ln n √ c = ⁠ 1 / n ⁠ ln(c).. The logarithm of 2 is useful in the sense that the powers of 2 are rather densely distributed; finding powers 2 i close to powers b j of other numbers b is comparatively easy, and series representations of ln(b) are ...

  8. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

    Metric drill set, 1.0–6.0 mm by 0.1 mm, jobber length. The case that holds them in an indexed order (by size), via a graduated series of holes, is called a drill index. Metric drill bit sizes define the diameter of the bit in terms of standard metric lengths. Standards organizations define sets of sizes that are conventionally manufactured ...
