  2. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    Gravity is computed on the ellipsoid surface using the International Gravity Formula. For studies of subsurface structure, the free-air anomaly is further adjusted by a correction for the mass below the measurement point and above the reference of mean sea level or a local datum elevation. [3] This defines the Bouguer anomaly.

  3. 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]

  4. Bouguer anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouguer_anomaly

    is the free-air gravity anomaly. δ g B {\displaystyle \delta g_{B}} is the Bouguer correction which allows for the gravitational attraction of rocks between the measurement point and sea level; δ g T {\displaystyle \delta g_{T}} is a terrain correction which allows for deviations of the surface from an infinite horizontal plane

  5. Geopotential height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geopotential_height

    Geopotential height or geopotential altitude is a vertical coordinate referenced to Earth's mean sea level (assumed zero geopotential) that represents the work involved in lifting one unit of mass over one unit of length through a hypothetical space in which the acceleration of gravity is assumed constant. [1]

  6. Free-space path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss

    Free-space loss increases with the square of distance between the antennas because the radio waves spread out by the inverse square law and decreases with the square of the wavelength of the radio waves. The FSPL is rarely used standalone, but rather as a part of the Friis transmission formula, which includes the gain of antennas. [3]

  7. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    Free body diagram of a body on which only gravity and air resistance act. The free body diagram on the right is for a projectile that experiences air resistance and the effects of gravity. Here, air resistance is assumed to be in the direction opposite of the projectile's velocity: F a i r = − f ( v ) ⋅ v ^ {\displaystyle \mathbf {F ...

  8. Trochoidal wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochoidal_wave

    The trajectories of free surface particles are close circles (in cyan), and the flow velocity is shown in red, for the black particles. The wave height – difference between the crest and trough elevation – is denoted as , the wavelength as and the phase speed as .

  9. Apparent molar property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_molar_property

    In thermodynamics, an apparent molar property of a solution component in a mixture or solution is a quantity defined with the purpose of isolating the contribution of each component to the non-ideality of the mixture.
