  2. Procalcitonin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procalcitonin

    Procalcitonin (PCT) is a peptide precursor of the hormone calcitonin, the latter being involved with calcium homeostasis.It arises once preprocalcitonin is cleaved by endopeptidase. [1]

  3. Wave height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_height

    Depending on context, wave height may be defined in different ways: For a sine wave, the wave height H is twice the amplitude (i.e., the peak-to-peak amplitude): [1] =.; For a periodic wave, it is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum of the surface elevation z = η(x – c p t): [1] = {()} {()}, with c p the phase speed (or propagation speed) of the wave.

  4. Trochoidal wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochoidal_wave

    The wave height – difference between the crest and trough elevation – is denoted as , the wavelength as and the phase speed as . In fluid dynamics, a trochoidal wave or Gerstner wave is an exact solution of the Euler equations for periodic surface gravity waves.

  5. Hypsometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypsometry

    Hypsometry (from Ancient Greek ὕψος (húpsos) 'height' and μέτρον (métron) 'measure') [1] [2] is the measurement of the elevation and depth of features of Earth's surface relative to mean sea level. [3] On Earth, the elevations can take on either positive or negative (below sea level) values.

  6. Cant (road and rail) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant_(road_and_rail)

    For the United States, with a standard maximum unbalanced superelevation of 75 mm (3 in), the formula is this: v m a x = E a + 3 0.00066 d {\displaystyle v_{max}={\sqrt {\frac {E_{a}+3}{0.00066d}}}} where E a {\displaystyle E_{a}} is the superelevation in inches, d {\displaystyle d} is the curvature of the track in degrees per 100 feet, and v m ...

  7. Faecal calprotectin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faecal_calprotectin

    Faecal calprotectin (or fecal calprotectin) is a biochemical measurement of the protein calprotectin in the stool.Elevated faecal calprotectin indicates the migration of neutrophils to the intestinal mucosa, which occurs during intestinal inflammation, including inflammation caused by inflammatory bowel disease.

  8. Stokes wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_wave

    Sir George Stokes solved this nonlinear wave problem in 1847 by expanding the relevant potential flow quantities in a Taylor series around the mean (or still) surface elevation. [12] As a result, the boundary conditions can be expressed in terms of quantities at the mean (or still) surface elevation (which is fixed and known).

  9. Orthometric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthometric_height

    The orthometric height (symbol H) is the vertical distance along the plumb line from a point of interest to a reference surface known as the geoid, the vertical datum that approximates mean sea level.
