  2. Delta ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Ratio

    Mathematically, if the change in the numerator is similar to the change in the denominator, the delta ratio will be close to 1. Since the anions are unable to diffuse out of the bloodstream, while bicarbonate and hydrogen ions diffuse with ease (as H 2 CO 3, carbonic acid), the usual result will be closer to a delta ratio of 1 to 2.

  3. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...

  4. δ13C - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Δ13C

    Foraminifera samples. In geochemistry, paleoclimatology, and paleoceanography δ 13 C (pronounced "delta thirteen c") is an isotopic signature, a measure of the ratio of the two stable isotopes of carbon— 13 C and 12 C—reported in parts per thousand (per mil, ‰). [1]

  5. δ18O - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Δ18O

    In geochemistry, paleoclimatology and paleoceanography δ 18 O or delta-O-18 is a measure of the deviation in ratio of stable isotopes oxygen-18 (18 O) and oxygen-16 (16 O). It is commonly used as a measure of the temperature of precipitation, as a measure of groundwater/mineral interactions, and as an indicator of processes that show isotopic fractionation, like methanogenesis.

  6. δ34S - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Δ34S

    The δ 34 S value refers to a measure of the ratio of the two most common stable sulfur isotopes, 34 S: 32 S, as measured in a sample against that same ratio as measured in a known reference standard. The lowercase delta character is used by convention, to be consistent with use in other areas of stable isotope chemistry. [3]

  7. Delta-v budget - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-v_budget

    Delta-v in feet per second, and fuel requirements for a typical Apollo Lunar Landing mission. In astrodynamics and aerospace, a delta-v budget is an estimate of the total change in velocity (delta-v) required for a space mission. It is calculated as the sum of the delta-v required to perform each propulsive maneuver needed during

  8. 3 steps to calculate your debt-to-income ratio - AOL

    www.aol.com/finance/3-steps-calculate-debt...

    After calculating your debt-to-income ratio (DTI), check the lender’s requirements. If your DTI is well below 43 percent or the lender’s threshold and you meet other eligibility criteria, you ...

  9. Logarithmic decrement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_decrement

    The logarithmic decrement can be obtained e.g. as ln(x 1 /x 3).Logarithmic decrement, , is used to find the damping ratio of an underdamped system in the time domain.. The method of logarithmic decrement becomes less and less precise as the damping ratio increases past about 0.5; it does not apply at all for a damping ratio greater than 1.0 because the system is overdamped.
