  2. Diameter at breast height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter_at_breast_height

    A tree caliper. The two most common instruments used to measure DBH are a girthing (or diameter) tape and calipers.. A girthing tape actually measures the girth (circumference) of the tree; the girthing tape is calibrated in divisions of π centimetres (3.14159 cm).

  3. 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.

  4. Tree girth measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_girth_measurement

    If the tree is leaning, measure the circumference at 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet (1.37 m) along the axis of the trunk. The distance should be measured along the side of the trunk from the base point of the center of the tree. The measurement is taken at a right (90 degree) angle to the trunk.

    Factor () Multiple Value Item 0 0 0 Singularity: 10 −35: 1 Planck length: 0.0000162 qm Planck length; typical scale of hypothetical loop quantum gravity or size of a hypothetical string and of branes; according to string theory, lengths smaller than this do not make any physical sense. [1]

  6. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(mass)

    An overview of ranges of mass. To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following lists describe various mass levels between 10 −67 kg and 10 52 kg. The least massive thing listed here is a graviton, and the most massive thing is the observable universe.

  7. Negative pulldown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_pulldown

    The majority of 35 mm film systems, cameras, telecine equipment, optical printers, or projectors, are configured to accommodate the 4-perf system; each frame of 35 mm is 4 perforations long. 4-perf was (and remains) the traditional system, and the majority of projectors are based on 4-perf, because 4 perforations is the amount needed per frame vertically in order to have enough negative space ...

  8. Widescreen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widescreen

    However, a few producers and directors, among them Alfred Hitchcock, were reluctant to use the anamorphic widescreen size featured in such formats as Cinemascope. Hitchcock used VistaVision, a non-anamorphic widescreen process developed by Paramount Pictures and Technicolor which could be adjusted to present various flat aspect ratios. [4]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_mm_caliber

    This is a list of firearm cartridges which have bullets in the 12 millimetres (0.47 in) to 12.99 millimetres (0.511 in) caliber range.. Length refers to the cartridge case length.
