  2. Impact pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_pressure

    In compressible fluid dynamics, impact pressure (dynamic pressure) is the difference between total pressure (also known as pitot pressure or stagnation pressure) and static pressure. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In aerodynamics notation, this quantity is denoted as q c {\displaystyle q_{c}} or Q c {\displaystyle Q_{c}} .

  3. Doubling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time

    For example, with an annual growth rate of 4.8% the doubling time is 14.78 years, and a doubling time of 10 years corresponds to a growth rate between 7% and 7.5% (actually about 7.18%). When applied to the constant growth in consumption of a resource, the total amount consumed in one doubling period equals the total amount consumed in all ...

  4. Dynamic factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_factor

    In econometrics, a dynamic factor (also known as a diffusion index) is a series which measures the co-movement of many time series. It is used in certain macroeconomic models. A diffusion index is intended to indicate the changes of the fraction of economic data time series which increase or decrease over the selected time interval,

  5. Population dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_dynamics

    Population dynamics is the type of mathematics used to model and study the size and age composition of populations as dynamical systems.Population dynamics is a branch of mathematical biology, and uses mathematical techniques such as differential equations to model behaviour.

  6. Ecological efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_efficiency

    Theoretically, it is easy to calculate ecological efficiency using the mathematical relationships above. It is often difficult, however, to obtain accurate measurements of the values involved in the calculation. Assessing ingestion, for example, requires knowledge of the gross amount of food consumed in an ecosystem as well as its caloric ...

  7. Plant growth analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_growth_analysis

    He applied the same mathematical formula to describe plant size over time. The equation for exponential mass growth rate in plant growth analysis is often expressed as: = ⁡ Where: M(t) is the final mass of the plant at time (t). M 0 is the initial mass of the plant.

  8. Gompertz function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gompertz_function

    The Gompertz curve or Gompertz function is a type of mathematical model for a time series, named after Benjamin Gompertz (1779–1865). It is a sigmoid function which describes growth as being slowest at the start and end of a given time period.

  9. Crack growth equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_growth_equation

    A crack growth equation is used for calculating the size of a fatigue crack growing from cyclic loads. The growth of a fatigue crack can result in catastrophic failure, particularly in the case of aircraft. When many growing fatigue cracks interact with one another it is known as widespread fatigue damage. A crack growth equation can be used to ...
