Fractions such as 1 ⁄ 3 are displayed as decimal approximations, for example rounded to 0.33333333. Also, some fractions (such as 1 ⁄ 7, which is 0.14285714285714; to 14 significant figures) can be difficult to recognize in decimal form; as a result, many scientific calculators are able to work in vulgar fractions or mixed numbers.
It is expressed either as a decimal fraction or a percentage. A value of 0 indicates that the surface absorbs all solar radiation, and a value of 1 (or 100%) represents total reflectivity. Thermal emittance is the ability to emit absorbed heat. It is also expressed either as a decimal fraction between 0 and 1, or a percentage.
The seats-to-votes ratio for a political party is the ratio between the fraction of seats and the fraction of votes for that party: a i = s i v i {\displaystyle a_{i}={\frac {s_{i}}{v_{i}}}} The Sainte-Laguë method approximates proportionality by optimizing the seats-to-votes ratio among all parties i {\displaystyle i} with the least squares ...
Volume was measured in ngogn (equal to 1000 cubic potrzebies), mass in blintz (equal to the mass of 1 ngogn of halva, which is "a form of pie [with] a specific gravity of 3.1416 and a specific heat of .31416"), and time in seven named units (decimal powers of the average earth rotation, equal to 1 "clarke").
The median land area used by US nuclear power stations per 1 GW installed capacity is 1.3 square miles (3.4 km 2). [ 356 ] [ 357 ] To generate the same amount of electricity annually (taking into account capacity factors ) from solar PV would require about 60 square miles (160 km 2 ), and from a wind farm about 310 square miles (800 km 2 ).
[249] [250] The external debt of the Philippines rose more than 70-fold from $360 million in 1962 to $26.2 billion in 1985, [251] making the Philippines one of the most indebted countries in Asia. [249] The country's total external debt rose from US$2.3 billion in 1970 to US$26.2 billion in 1985 during Marcos's term.
Only the carbon neutral biodegradable part of waste is classified as renewable energy generation which was defined as 55 percent of total waste from 2011 (in 2009 it was 58.8 percent). [37] Total waste provided 20 percent of district heating generation and between 4 and 5 percent of electricity generation in the country. [ 38 ]
