  2. Fraction of inspired oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction_of_Inspired_Oxygen

    Fraction of inspired oxygen (F I O 2), correctly denoted with a capital I, [1] is the molar or volumetric fraction of oxygen in the inhaled gas. Medical patients experiencing difficulty breathing are provided with oxygen-enriched air, which means a higher-than-atmospheric F I O 2 .

  3. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    The simplest case of a normal distribution is known as the standard normal distribution or unit normal distribution. This is a special case when μ = 0 {\textstyle \mu =0} and σ 2 = 1 {\textstyle \sigma ^{2}=1} , and it is described by this probability density function (or density): φ ( z ) = e − z 2 2 2 π . {\displaystyle \varphi (z ...

  4. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    The simplest conception, and the easiest to model mathematically was a hard sphere and that is what van der Waals used. In that case two particles of diameter, σ {\displaystyle \sigma } , would come into contact when their centers were a distance σ {\displaystyle \sigma } apart, hence the center of the one was excluded from a spherical volume ...

  5. Chi-squared distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi-squared_distribution

    The simplest chi-squared distribution is the square of a standard normal distribution. So wherever a normal distribution could be used for a hypothesis test, a chi-squared distribution could be used. Suppose that Z {\displaystyle Z} is a random variable sampled from the standard normal distribution, where the mean is 0 {\displaystyle 0} and the ...

  6. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    In May 1907, Einstein explained that the expression for energy ε of a moving mass point assumes the simplest form when its expression for the state of rest is chosen to be ε 0 = μV 2 (where μ is the mass), which is in agreement with the "principle of the equivalence of mass and energy".

  7. Blood alcohol content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

    In US and many international publications, BAC levels are written as a percentage such as 0.08%, i.e. there is 0.8 grams of alcohol per liter of blood. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In different countries, the maximum permitted BAC when driving ranges from the limit of detection ( zero tolerance ) to 0.08% (0.8 g/L ).

  8. Nuclear fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion

    very much because the Bremsstrahlung fraction is low, but it will push the other fuels into regimes where the power density relative to 2 1 D – 3 1 T is even lower and the required confinement even more difficult to achieve. For 2 1 D – 2 1 D and 2 1 D – 3 2 He, Bremsstrahlung losses will be a serious, possibly prohibitive problem. For 3 ...

  9. Plastic recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_recycling

    The recycling rate that year was 19.5%, while 25.5% was incinerated and the remaining 55% disposed of, largely to landfill. These rates lag behind those of other recyclables, such as paper, metal and glass. Although the percentage of recycled or incinerated material is increasing each year, the tonnage of waste left-over also continues to rise.
