The 10 to 1 ratio was an estimate made in 1972; current estimates put the ratio at either 3 to 1 or 1.3 to 1. [301] The total length of capillaries in the human body is not 100,000 km. That figure comes from a 1929 book by August Krogh, who used an unrealistically large model person and an inaccurately high density of capillaries.
[3] [2] BAC levels above 0.40% (4 g/L) can be potentially fatal. [1] According to Guinness World Records, 1.374% (13.74 g/L) is the highest BAC ever recorded in a human who survived the ordeal. [4] The record was set in July 2013 by an unidentified Polish man found unconscious by the side of a road in the village of Tarnowska Wola, in south ...
A related concept is one part per ten thousand, 1 / 10,000 .The same unit is also (rarely) called a permyriad, literally meaning "for (every) myriad (ten thousand)".

For example, FeSO 4 is named iron(2+) sulfate (with the 2+ charge on the Fe 2+ ions balancing the 2− charge on the sulfate ion), whereas Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 is named iron(3+) sulfate (because the two iron ions in each formula unit each have a charge of 3+, to balance the 2− on each of the three sulfate ions).

A large portion of Arabic literature before the 20th century is in the form of poetry, and even prose from this period is either filled with snippets of poetry or is in the form of saj or rhymed prose. [420] The ghazal or love poem had a long history being at times tender and chaste and at other times rather explicit. [421]
According to a report published by the Water Footprint organization in 2010, a single kilogram of beef requires 15 thousand litres (3.3 × 10 ^ 3 imp gal; 4.0 × 10 ^ 3 US gal) of water; however, the authors also make clear that this is a global average and circumstantial factors determine the amount of water used in beef production.
While Wayne has been and remains predominantly White, it has increased in diversity over the years. From 2000 to 2010, the percentage of every minority group has gone up. Some of the prevalent ethnic minority groups include Indian Americans at 3.0% and Korean Americans at 2.0%, while Puerto Ricans were 2.3% of the population. [19]
