  2. Normative mineralogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normative_mineralogy

    Normative mineralogy is an estimate of the mineralogy of the rock. It usually differs from the visually observable mineralogy, at least as much as the types of mineral species, especially amongst the ferromagnesian minerals and feldspars, where it is possible to have many solid solution series of minerals, or minerals with similar Fe and Mg ratios substituting, especially with water (e.g ...

  3. Potato paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_paradox

    Middle: 1 kg matter, 49 kg water (98% water). If the potatoes are 99% water, the dry mass is 1%. This means that the 100 kg of potatoes contains 1 kg of dry mass, which does not change, as only the water evaporates. In order to make the potatoes be 98% water, the dry mass must become 2% of the total weight—double what it was before.

  4. Harris–Benedict equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris–Benedict_equation

    The Harris–Benedict equation (also called the Harris-Benedict principle) is a method used to estimate an individual's basal metabolic rate (BMR).. The estimated BMR value may be multiplied by a number that corresponds to the individual's activity level; the resulting number is the approximate daily kilocalorie intake to maintain current body weight.

  5. Mass fraction (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_fraction_(chemistry)

    Mass fraction can also be expressed, with a denominator of 100, as percentage by mass (in commercial contexts often called percentage by weight, abbreviated wt.% or % w/w; see mass versus weight). It is one way of expressing the composition of a mixture in a dimensionless size ; mole fraction (percentage by moles , mol%) and volume fraction ...

  6. Yarn conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn_conditioning

    In a yarn, moisture content is the moisture present in the yarn, expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the yarn. Moisture content is one of the most important tests on a yarn; [9] a fiber's moisture content will affect the entire manufacturing process, as it affects the physical properties of a material.

  7. I set a goal to transform 50 percent of my body weight into muscle within a year. So, I took Orangetheory circuit training classes three times a week, working on both strength training and cardio.

    The number of childfree women is at a record high: 48 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 44 don’t have kids, according to 2014 Census numbers. The Huffington Post and YouGov asked 124 women why they choose to be childfree.

  9. Recovery (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_(metallurgy)

    In metallurgy, recovery is a process by which a metal or alloy's deformed grains can reduce their stored energy by the removal or rearrangement of defects in their crystal structure. These defects, primarily dislocations , are introduced by plastic deformation of the material and act to increase the yield strength of a material.
