    The British decimal one penny (1p) coin is a unit of currency and denomination of sterling coinage worth 1 ⁄ 100 of one pound.Its obverse featured the profile of Queen Elizabeth II since the coin's introduction on 15 February 1971, the day British currency was decimalised, until her death on 8 September 2022.

  4. Bovine serum albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_serum_albumin

    Bovine serum albumin (BSA or "Fraction V") is a serum albumin protein derived from cows. It is often used as a protein concentration standard in lab experiments. The nickname "Fraction V" refers to albumin being the fifth fraction of the original Edwin Cohn purification methodology that made use of differential solubility characteristics of plasma proteins.

  5. Visual acuity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_acuity

    A simple and efficient way to state acuity is by converting the fraction to a decimal: 6/6 then corresponds to an acuity (or a Visus) of 1.0 (see Expression below), while 6/3 corresponds to 2.0, which is often attained by well-corrected healthy young subjects with binocular vision.

    1,2-Dichlorobenzene, or orthodichlorobenzene (ODCB), is an aryl chloride and isomer of dichlorobenzene with the formula C 6 H 4 Cl 2.This colourless liquid is poorly soluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents.

  9. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    "the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is actually used". [2] It is named after computer scientist Gene Amdahl, and was presented at the American Federation of Information Processing Societies (AFIPS) Spring Joint Computer Conference in 1967.
