  2. Orders of magnitude (energy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(energy)

    3.3×10 9 J: Approximate average amount of energy expended by a human heart muscle over an 80-year lifetime [140] [141] 3.6×10 9 J = 1 MW·h (megawatt-hour) 4.2×10 9 J: Energy released by explosion of 1 ton of TNT. 4.5×10 9 J: Average annual energy usage of a standard refrigerator [142] [143] 6.1×10 9 J: ≈ 1 bboe (barrel of oil equivalent ...

  3. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    In some sources, boldface or double brackets x are used for floor, and reversed brackets x or ]x[for ceiling. [7] [8] The fractional part is the sawtooth function, denoted by {x} for real x and defined by the formula {x} = x − ⌊x⌋ [9] For all x, 0 ≤ {x} < 1. These characters are provided in Unicode:

  4. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    The displays of pocket calculators of the 1970s did not display an explicit symbol between significand and exponent; instead, one or more digits were left blank (e.g. 6.022 23, as seen in the HP-25), or a pair of smaller and slightly raised digits were reserved for the exponent (e.g. 6.022 23, as seen in the Commodore PR100).

  5. Slide rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

    With x=2 and y=3 for example, by positioning the top scale to start at the bottom scale's 2, the result of the multiplication 3×2=6 can then be read on the bottom scale under the top scale's 3: While the above example lies within one decade, users must mentally account for additional zeroes when dealing with multiple decades.

  6. TI-Nspire series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-Nspire_series

    The original TI-Nspire was developed out of the TI PLT SHH1 prototype calculator, the TI-92 series of calculators released in 1995, and the TI-89 series of calculators released in 1998. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In 2011, Texas Instruments released the CX line of their TI-Nspire calculators which effectively replaced the previous generation.

  7. 2,6-Diaminopurine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,6-Diaminopurine

    DiampurineT DNA base pair. In cyanophage S-2L (Siphoviridae), diaminopurine is used instead of adenine (host evasion). [6] Diaminopurine base (Z) pairs perfectly with thymine (T) as it is identical to adenine (A) but has an amine group at position 2 forming 3 intermolecular hydrogen bonds, eliminating the major difference between the two types of basepairs (weak:A-T and strong:C-G).

  8. Basel problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basel_problem

    The Basel problem is a problem in mathematical analysis with relevance to number theory, concerning an infinite sum of inverse squares.It was first posed by Pietro Mengoli in 1650 and solved by Leonhard Euler in 1734, [1] and read on 5 December 1735 in The Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences.

  9. Aspect ratio (image) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect_ratio_(image)

    Many digital video cameras have the capability to record in 16:9 (= 4 2:3 2), and 16:9 is the only widescreen aspect ratio natively supported by the DVD standard. DVD producers can also choose to show even wider ratios such as 1.66:1, 1.75:1, 1.77:1 and 1.78:1 [ 1 ] within the 16:9 DVD frame by hard matting or adding black bars within the image ...
