  2. Academy ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_ratio

    Academy ratio 1.375:1. The Academy ratio of 1.375:1 (abbreviated as 1.37:1) is an aspect ratio of a frame of 35 mm film when used with 4-perf pulldown. [1] [2] It was standardized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as the standard film aspect ratio in 1932, although similar-sized ratios were used as early as 1928.

  3. Earliest known life forms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earliest_known_life_forms

    Evidence of possibly the oldest forms of life on Earth has been found in hydrothermal vent precipitates. [1]The earliest known life forms on Earth may be as old as 4.1 billion years (or Ga) according to biologically fractionated graphite inside a single zircon grain in the Jack Hills range of Australia. [2]

  4. Pigouvian tax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigouvian_tax

    In 1998, Fullerton and Gilbert E. Metcalf explain this theory more thoroughly. They begin by defining terms. The gross wage reflects the pre-tax wage a laborer receives. [14] The simplest form of the net wage is the pre-tax wage minus the income tax.

  5. Hydrophobicity scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobicity_scales

    Vapor phases represent the simplest non polar phases, because it has no interaction with the solute. [18] The hydration potential and its correlation to the appearance of amino acids on the surface of proteins was studied by Wolfenden. Aqueous and polymer phases were used in the development of a novel partitioning scale. [19]

  6. Carbon monoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_monoxide

    It is the simplest carbon oxide. In coordination complexes, the carbon monoxide ligand is called carbonyl. It is a key ingredient in many processes in industrial chemistry. [5] The most common source of carbon monoxide is the partial combustion of carbon-containing compounds. Numerous environmental and biological sources generate carbon monoxide.

  7. Helium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium

    Helium is the least water-soluble monatomic gas, [96] and one of the least water-soluble of any gas (CF 4, SF 6, and C 4 F 8 have lower mole fraction solubilities: 0.3802, 0.4394, and 0.2372 x 2 /10 −5, respectively, versus helium's 0.70797 x 2 /10 −5), [97] and helium's index of refraction is closer to unity than that of any other gas. [98]

  8. Naphthalene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naphthalene

    It is the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, and is a white crystalline solid with a characteristic odor that is detectable at concentrations as low as 0.08 ppm by mass. [15] As an aromatic hydrocarbon, naphthalene's structure consists of a fused pair of benzene rings. It is the main ingredient of traditional mothballs.

    This may be obtained from the partial fraction decomposition of ⁡ given above, which is the logarithmic derivative of ⁡. [22] From this, it can be deduced also that cos ⁡ z = ∏ n = 1 ∞ ( 1 − z 2 ( n − 1 / 2 ) 2 π 2 ) , z ∈ C . {\displaystyle \cos z=\prod _{n=1}^{\infty }\left(1-{\frac {z^{2}}{(n-1/2)^{2}\pi ^{2}}}\right),\quad ...
