  2. Shot grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_grouping

    Expensive and well-machined match-grade pistols demonstrate a higher accuracy than normal handguns, capable of groupings of 1.25 inches at 25 yards, which is about 5 MOA (equivalent to about 30 mm at 25 meters, which is 1.2 mil).

  3. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    The subtension is linear with the distance, for example, at 500 yards, 1 MOA subtends 5.235 inches, and at 1000 yards 1 MOA subtends 10.47 inches. Since many modern telescopic sights are adjustable in half ( ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ ), quarter ( ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ ) or eighth ( ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ ) MOA increments, also known as clicks , zeroing and adjustments are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle-size_distribution

    The closer this value is to 1.0, the better the data fit to a hyperplane representing the relationship between the response variable and a set of covariate variables. A value equal to 1.0 indicates all data fit perfectly within the hyperplane. λ: Gas mean free path (cm) D 50: Mass-median-diameter (MMD). The log-normal distribution mass median ...

  5. Geology of Pennsylvania - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Pennsylvania

    The top plate illustrates the tectonic setting for the sediments of Pennsylvania. This section is characterized by the metamorphic rocks that provide much of the bedrock for this area. The oldest exposed rocks in Pennsylvania are found here and consist of the Baltimore Gneiss. [8] These rocks have a complex history and a vast array of different ...

  6. M16 rifle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M16_rifle

    When the normal use rear aperture sight is zeroed at 300 m with SS109/M855 ammunition, first used in the M16A2, the '0-2' rear sight will be zeroed for 200 m. The front sight post was widened to approximately 0.075 in (1.91 mm) diameter and became square and became adjustable during zeroing in about 1.2 MOA increments. [120] [121]

  7. Hardpan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardpan

    In soil science, agriculture and gardening, hardpan or soil pan is a dense layer of soil, usually found below the uppermost topsoil layer. [1] There are different types of hardpan, all sharing the general characteristic of being a distinct soil layer that is largely impervious to water. Some hardpans are formed by deposits in the soil that fuse ...

  8. Contour plowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_plowing

    The Soil Conservation Service worked with state governments and universities with established agriculture programs, such as the University of Nebraska, to promote the method to farmers. By 1938, the introduction of new agricultural techniques, such as contour plowing, had reduced soil loss by 65% despite the continuation of the drought.

  9. Richards equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richards_equation

    The Richards equation represents the movement of water in unsaturated soils, and is attributed to Lorenzo A. Richards who published the equation in 1931. [1] It is a quasilinear partial differential equation; its analytical solution is often limited to specific initial and boundary conditions. [2]
