    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_units_of...

    This was an official unit of measurement in South Africa until the 1970s, and was defined in November 2007 by the South African Law Society as having a conversion factor of 1 morgen = 0.856 532 hectares. [28] This unit of measure was also used in the Dutch colonial province of New Netherland (later New York and parts of New England). [29] [30]

  4. Wind profile power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_profile_power_law

    The wind profile of the atmospheric boundary layer (surface to around 2000 metres) is generally logarithmic in nature and is best approximated using the log wind profile equation that accounts for surface roughness and atmospheric stability. The relationships between surface power and wind are often used as an alternative to logarithmic wind ...

    A graphene quantum dot (GQD) is a graphene fragment with a size lesser than 100 nm. The properties of GQDs are different from bulk graphene due to the quantum confinement effects which only become apparent when the size is smaller than 100 nm. [216] [217] [218]

    I believe if you're only interested in a numerical (as opposed to analytic) solution, the trick is to turn the second-order equation into a system of first-order equations. So if you have y''=2*y, you can turn this into the system {u=y'; u'=2*y}.

    At 1 atm pressure, it reaches its maximum density of 999.972 kg/m 3 (62.4262 lb/cu ft) at 3.98 °C (39.16 °F). [ 54 ] [ 55 ] Below that temperature, but above the freezing point of 0 °C (32 °F), it expands becoming less dense until it reaches freezing point, reaching a density in its liquid phase of 999.8 kg/m 3 (62.4155 lb/cu ft).

    [176] [177] [178] Several factors go into determining the rate of each degradation process. This variance in rate and resistance to biodegradation in many conditions is a factor in littering [179] and environmental damage.
