  2. Simple continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_continued_fraction

    The simplest examples are the golden ratio φ = [1;1,1,1,1,1,...] and √ 2 = [1;2,2,2,2,...], while √ 14 = [3;1,2,1,6,1,2,1,6...] and √ 42 = [6;2,12,2,12,2,12...]. All irrational square roots of integers have a special form for the period; a symmetrical string, like the empty string (for √ 2 ) or 1,2,1 (for √ 14 ), followed by the ...

    135 Xe capturing a neutron and becoming nearly stable 136 Xe, rather than decaying to 135 Cs which is radioactive with a half-life of 2.3 million years Nonradioactive 133 Cs capturing a neutron and becoming 134 Cs, which is radioactive with a half-life of 2 years

  4. Mesh (scale) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_(scale)

    Although such information contains long lists of sieve sizes, in practice sieves are normally used in series in which each member sieve is selected to pass particles approximately 1/ √ 2 smaller in diameter or 1/2 smaller in cross-sectional area than the previous sieve. For example the series 80mm, 63, 40, 31.5, 20, 16, 14, 10, 8, 6.3, 4, 2.8 ...

    Symbol-specific names are also used; decimal point and decimal comma refer to a dot (either baseline or middle) and comma respectively, when it is used as a decimal separator; these are the usual terms used in English, [1] [2] [3] with the aforementioned generic terms reserved for abstract usage.

  7. Density of air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air

    This means that at this layer L = 0 and T = 220 K, so that the exponential drop is faster, with H TP = 6.3 km for air (6.5 for nitrogen, 5.7 for oxygen and 4.2 for carbon dioxide). Both the pressure and density obey this law, so, denoting the height of the border between the troposphere and the tropopause as U :

  8. Pressure ridge (ice) - Wikipedia

    The keel is also 23 times wider than the sail. [16] Ridges are usually melting faster than level ice, both at the surface [ 17 ] and at the bottom. [ 18 ] While first-year ridges melt approximately 4 times faster than surrounding level ice, [ 19 ] second-year ridges melt only 1.6 times faster than surrounding level ice. [ 17 ]

  9. Low-carbon fuel standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-carbon_fuel_standard

    Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger issued Executive Order S-1-07 on January 19, 2007, to enact a low-carbon fuel standard (LCFS). [14] [15] The LCFS requires oil refineries and distributors to ensure that the mix of fuel they sell in the Californian market meets the established declining targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions measured in CO 2-equivalent grams per unit of fuel ...
