  2. Geiger–Nuttall law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geiger–Nuttall_law

    In practice, this means that alpha particles from all alpha-emitting isotopes across many orders of magnitude of difference in half-life, all nevertheless have about the same decay energy. Formulated in 1911 by Hans Geiger and John Mitchell Nuttall as a relation between the decay constant and the range of alpha particles in air, [ 1 ] in its ...

  3. Hund's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hund's_rules

    In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, Hund's rules refers to a set of rules that German physicist Friedrich Hund formulated around 1925, which are used to determine the term symbol that corresponds to the ground state of a multi-electron atom. The first rule is especially important in chemistry, where it is often referred to simply as Hund's ...

    Single-core performance was improving by 52% per year in 1986–2003 and 23% per year in 2003–2011, but slowed to just seven percent per year in 2011–2018. [ 146 ] Quality adjusted price of IT equipment – The price of information technology (IT), computers and peripheral equipment, adjusted for quality and inflation, declined 16% per year ...

  5. Mean speed theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_speed_theorem

    Oresme's geometric verification of the Oxford Calculators' Merton Rule of uniform acceleration, or mean speed theorem. Galileo's demonstration of the law of the space traversed in case of uniformly varied motion. It is the same demonstration that Oresme had made centuries earlier.

  6. Rainflow-counting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainflow-counting_algorithm

    The first half-cycle starts at tensile peak 1 and terminates opposite a greater tensile stress, peak 3 (case c); its magnitude is 16 MPa (2 - (-14) = 16). The half-cycle starting at peak 9 terminates where it is interrupted by a flow from earlier peak 8 (case b ); its magnitude is 16 MPa (8 - (-8) = 16).

  7. Spin–statistics theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin–statistics_theorem

    This problem is overcome in different ways depending on particle spin–statistics. For a state of integer spin the negative norm states (known as "unphysical polarization") are set to zero, which makes the use of gauge symmetry necessary. For a state of half-integer spin the argument can be circumvented by having fermionic statistics. [21]

  8. Infinite divisibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_divisibility

    For example, if one looks at records of stock prices in the 1920s, one may find the prices at the end of each day, but perhaps not at three-hundredths of a second after 12:47 PM. A new method, however, theoretically, could report at double the rate, which would not prevent further increases of velocity of reporting.

  9. Slide rule scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule_scale

    A slide rule scale is a line with graduated markings inscribed along the length of a slide rule used for mathematical calculations. The earliest such device had a single logarithmic scale for performing multiplication and division, but soon an improved technique was developed which involved two such scales sliding alongside each other.
