  2. Humidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity

    It does not take temperature into consideration. Absolute humidity in the atmosphere ranges from near zero to roughly 30 g (1.1 oz) per cubic metre when the air is saturated at 30 °C (86 °F). [8] [9] Air is a gas, and its volume varies with pressure and temperature, per Boyles law. Absolute humidity is defined as water mass per volume of air ...

  3. Effects of climate change on health in the United Kingdom

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change...

    [98] Increasing the climate resilience of the NHS is a crucial component of climate adaptation. Climate change, and associated extreme weather events, can significantly disrupt health service delivery and access to health facilities, in addition to increasing the burden of climate-related health conditions.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Houston

    The coldest weather of the season often includes temperatures in the low 30s to mid-40s at night. Hard freezes are not uncommon in North Houston; George Bush Intercontinental Airport has recorded at least one freeze every winter since it opened in 1969, except for 2023, when the lowest was 33 degrees.

  5. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    The word hygroscopy (/ h aɪ ˈ ɡ r ɒ s k ə p i /) uses combining forms of hygro-(for moisture or humidity) and -scopy. Unlike any other -scopy word, it no longer refers to a viewing or imaging mode. It did begin that way, with the word hygroscope referring in the 1790s to measuring devices for humidity level. These hygroscopes used ...

    For an approximately normal data set, the values within one standard deviation of the mean account for about 68% of the set; while within two standard deviations account for about 95%; and within three standard deviations account for about 99.7%. Shown percentages are rounded theoretical probabilities intended only to approximate the empirical ...

  8. Potato paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_paradox

    Middle: 1 kg matter, 49 kg water (98% water). If the potatoes are 99% water, the dry mass is 1%. This means that the 100 kg of potatoes contains 1 kg of dry mass, which does not change, as only the water evaporates. In order to make the potatoes be 98% water, the dry mass must become 2% of the total weight—double what it was before.

    Biofuels are biomass-derived fuels from plants, animals, or waste; depending on which type of biomass is used, they could lower CO 2 emissions by 20–98% compared to conventional jet fuel. [92] The first test flight using blended biofuel was in 2008, and in 2011, blended fuels with 50% biofuels were allowed on commercial flights.
