Mineral symbols (text abbreviations) are used to abbreviate mineral groups, subgroups, and species, just as lettered symbols are used for the chemical elements. The first set of commonly used mineral symbols was published in 1983 and covered the common rock-forming minerals using 192 two- or three-lettered symbols. [ 1 ]
The "W" comes from the element symbol for tungsten, W, which comes from the German Wolfram. WI: wrought iron: Both the material and the abbreviation are obsolete, or nearly so. Spell out the words if this material is to be mentioned at all in modern drawings. W/I, w/i: within: A little-used abbreviation. Better to spell out for clarity. W/O, w ...
The MOCA seen on the NACO en route chart, may have been computed by adding the required obstacle clearance (ROC) to the controlling obstacle in the primary area or computed by using a TERPS chart if the controlling obstacle is located in the secondary area. This figure is then rounded to the nearest 100 foot increment, i.e. 2,049 feet becomes ...
A minimum off-route altitude (MORA) provides a quick way for an aircraft pilot to read the minimum altitude required for terrain and obstacle clearance. MORAs give at least 1,000 feet altitude clearance above terrain and obstacles such as radio masts, and 2,000 feet where the terrain and obstacles exceed 5,000 feet. [1]
The charts are published "in accordance with Interagency Air Cartographic Committee specifications and agreements, approved by the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration". The legend of an aeronautical chart lists many of the symbols, colors and codes used to convey information to the map reader.
Shipping symbols [2] from ISO standard 780 "Pictorial marking for handling of goods" [3] or ASTM D5445 "Standard Practice for Pictorial Markings for Handling of Goods" [4] which depict shipping boxes as squares with rounded corners: "Fragile": the silhouette of a broken wine glass "This end up": a horizontal line with two arrows pointing up
The estimated symbol, [1] ℮ (also referred to as the ℮-mark, [2] the final EC verification mark (in EU law), [3] or the estimated sign) can be found on most prepackaged products in the European Union (EU).
118 chemical elements have been identified and named officially by IUPAC.A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z).
