  2. Human body temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_temperature

    An early morning temperature higher than 37.3 °C (99.1 °F) or a late afternoon temperature higher than 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) is normally considered a fever, assuming that the temperature is elevated due to a change in the hypothalamus's setpoint. [15] Lower thresholds are sometimes appropriate for elderly people. [15]

  3. Conservative temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_temperature

    Conservative temperature is defined to be directly proportional to potential enthalpy. It is rescaled to have the same units as the in-situ temperature: = where = 3989.24495292815 J kg −1 K −1 is a reference value of the specific heat capacity, chosen to be as close as possible to the spatial average of the heat capacity over the entire ocean surface.

  4. Armstrong limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_limit

    At the nominal body temperature of 37 °C (99 °F), water has a vapour pressure of 6.3 kilopascals (47 mmHg); which is to say, at an ambient pressure of 6.3 kilopascals (47 mmHg), the boiling point of water is 37 °C (99 °F). A pressure of 6.3 kPa—the Armstrong limit—is about 1/16 of the standard sea-level atmospheric pressure of 101.3 ...

  5. List of unusual units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_units_of...

    While usually sub-second units are represented with SI prefixes on the second (e.g. milliseconds), this system can be extrapolated further, such that a "Third" would mean 1 ⁄ 60 of a second (16.7 milliseconds), and a "Fourth" would mean 1 ⁄ 60 of a third (278 microseconds), etc. These units are occasionally used in astronomy to denote angles.

  6. Saint Pierre and Miquelon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon

    Due to just three months being above 10 °C (50 °F) in mean temperatures and winter lows being so mild, Saint Pierre and Miquelon has a Köppen Climate Classification of Dfc, if bordering on Cfc due to the mildness of the winter and either Dfb or Cfb due to the closeness of the fourth-and fifth-warmest months to having mean temperatures at or ...

  7. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    For example, SG (20 °C/4 °C) would be understood to mean that the density of the sample was determined at 20 °C and of the water at 4 °C. Taking into account different sample and reference temperatures, while SG H 2 O = 1.000000 (20 °C/20 °C) it is also the case that RD H 2 O = ⁠ 0.9982008 / 0.9999720 ⁠ = 0.9982288 (20 °C/4 °C).

  8. Dawson City - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawson_City

    The highest temperature ever recorded is 35.0 °C (95 °F) on 9 July 1899 [18] and 18 June 1950. [19] The lowest temperature ever recorded is −58.3 °C (−73 °F) on 3 February 1947. [ 20 ] It experiences a wide range of temperatures surpassing 30 °C (86 °F) in most summers and dropping below −40 °C (−40 °F) in winter. [ 17 ]

  9. Adult development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_development

    Adult development encompasses the changes that occur in biological and psychological domains of human life from the end of adolescence until the end of one's life. Changes occur at the cellular level and are partially explained by biological theories of adult development and aging. [ 1 ]
