  2. Condition index in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condition_index_in_fish

    The condition index is its actual weight divided by its expected weight, times 100%. A fish of normal weight has a condition index of 100 percent. So if a tarpon, for example, has a condition index of 104 percent, that would mean it is above the normal weight for an average tarpon of that length. If a tarpon has a condition index of 92 percent ...

  3. Parasite load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasite_load

    In evolutionary biology, parasite load has important implications for sexual selection and the evolution of sex, as well as openness to experience. [1] High parasite load. Lappet moth caterpillar parasited by braconid wasps. Enumeration of Plasmodium parasites (blue) in human red blood cells (pink) to quantify relative parasite load.

  4. Kleiber's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleiber's_law

    Kleiber's plot comparing body size to metabolic rate for a variety of species. [1]Kleiber's law, named after Max Kleiber for his biology work in the early 1930s, states, after many observation that, for a vast number of animals, an animal's Basal Metabolic Rate scales to the 3 ⁄ 4 power of the animal's mass.

  5. Standard weight in fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_weight_in_fish

    Standard weight equation for largemouth bass [1] and burbot [2] (fish). Standard weight in fish is the typical or expected weight at a given total length for a specific species of fish. Most standard weight equations are for freshwater fish species. Weight-length curves are developed by weighing and measuring samples of fish from the population.

  6. Moving load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_load

    massless load inertial load Vibrations of a string under a moving massless force (v=0.1c); c is the wave speed. Vibrations of a string under a moving massless force (v=0.5c); c is the wave speed. Vibrations of a string under a moving inertial force (v=0.1c); c is the wave speed.

  7. Stocking (forestry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stocking_(forestry)

    When stocking, a tree's basal area is measured. The basal area is a cross-sectional area of the stump taken about 4.5 feet (1.4 m) above the ground. [7] The equation for calculating the basal area of trees in a stand is Basal Area = 0.005454 DBH 2, where DBH is the diameter of the tree at the aforementioned measuring height. [7]

  8. Load path analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_path_analysis

    [1] The U* index theory has been validated through two different physical experiments. [3] Since the U* index predicts the load paths based on the structural stiffness, it is not affected by the stress concentration problems. The load transfer analysis using the U* index is a new design paradigm for vehicle structural design.

  9. Position weight matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_weight_matrix

    From the definition above, it follows that the sum of values for a particular position (that is, summing over all symbols) is 1. Each column can therefore be regarded as an independent multinomial distribution. This makes it easy to calculate the probability of a sequence given a PPM, by multiplying the relevant probabilities at each position.
