  2. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    In 1937, physicist Lucy Hayner designed and constructed a circular slide rule in Braille. [20] Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the slide rule was the symbol of the engineer's profession in the same way the stethoscope is that of the medical profession. [21] Aluminium Pickett-brand slide rules were carried on Project Apollo space missions.

  3. Area rule - Wikipedia

    The rule also requires careful positioning of parts, like the boosters and cargo bay on rockets and the shape and location of the canopy on the F-22 Raptor. The supersonic area rule was applied, at Mach 2, to the prototype Concorde. The rear fuselage was extended by 3.73m on the production aircraft and reduced wave drag by 1.8%. [18]

  5. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume: [1] =, where ρ is the density, m is the mass, and V is the volume. In some cases (for instance, in the United States oil and gas industry), density is loosely defined as its weight per unit volume , [ 2 ] although this is scientifically inaccurate – this quantity is more ...

    Sokal and Rohlf (1981) give an equation of the correction factor for small samples of n < 20. [5] See unbiased estimation of standard deviation for further discussion. Derivation

    Mathematics: The probability of matching 20 numbers for 20 in a game of keno is approximately 2.83 × 10 −19. Mathematics: The odds of a perfect bracket in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament are 1 in 2 63, approximately 1.08 × 10 −19, if coin flips are used to predict the winners of the 63 matches.

    It does not apply to organellar genomes (mitochondria and plastids) smaller than ~20-30 kbp, nor does it apply to single stranded DNA (viral) genomes or any type of RNA genome. The basis for this rule is still under investigation, although genome size may play a role. Histogram showing how 20309 chromosomes adhere to Chargaff's second parity rule
