  2. Variometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

    A variometer that produces this type of audible tone is known as an "audio variometer". Advanced electronic variometers in gliders can present other information to the pilot from GPS receivers. The display can thus show the bearing, distance and height required to reach an objective.

  3. Speed to fly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_to_fly

    MacCready speed to fly ring for a variometer. The outer ring show various airspeeds, while the variometer shows climb rate. The index arrow, white triangle, on the ring is placed against the expected rate of climb at the next thermal. The variometer needle will then point to the optimum airspeed, listed on the ring, to be flown to that thermal.

  4. Econophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econophysics

    Econophysics is a non-orthodox (in economics) interdisciplinary research field, applying theories and methods originally developed by physicists in order to solve problems in economics, usually those including uncertainty or stochastic processes and nonlinear dynamics.

  5. Thermoeconomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoeconomics

    Thermoeconomics can be thought of as the statistical physics of economic value [2] and is a subfield of econophysics. It is the study of the ways and means by which human societies procure and use energy and other biological and physical resources to produce, distribute, consume and exchange goods and services, while generating various types of ...

  6. Trade-off - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade-off

    In economics a trade-off is expressed in terms of the opportunity cost of a particular choice, which is the loss of the most preferred alternative given up. [2] A tradeoff, then, involves a sacrifice that must be made to obtain a certain product, service, or experience, rather than others that could be made or obtained using the same required resources.

  7. Measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement

    For example, two states of a property may be compared by ratio, difference, or ordinal preference. The type is commonly not explicitly expressed, but implicit in the definition of a measurement procedure. The magnitude is the numerical value of the characterization, usually obtained with a suitably chosen measuring instrument.

  8. Quantum finance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Finance

    Since quantum characteristics in physics like superposition and entanglement are a result of the imaginary numbers, Baaquie's numerical success must result from effects other than quantum ones. [ 18 ] : 668 Rickles critiques Baaquies's work on economics grounds: empirical economic data are not random so they don't need a quantum randomness ...

  9. Variogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variogram

    In spatial statistics the theoretical variogram, denoted (,), is a function describing the degree of spatial dependence of a spatial random field or stochastic process (). ...
