    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage_point

    A percentage point or percent point is the unit for the arithmetic difference between two percentages. For example, moving up from 40 percent to 44 percent is an increase of 4 percentage points (although it is a 10-percent increase in the quantity being measured, if the total amount remains the same).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

    The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

  5. Mole fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mole_fraction

    Mole fraction is numerically identical to the number fraction, which is defined as the number of particles of a constituent N i divided by the total number of all molecules N tot. Whereas mole fraction is a ratio of amounts to amounts (in units of moles per moles), molar concentration is a quotient of amount to volume (in units of moles per litre).

  6. Payload fraction - Wikipedia

    For this reason, the useful load fraction calculates a similar number, but it is based on the combined weight of the payload and fuel together in relation to the total weight. Propeller-driven airliners had useful load fractions on the order of 25–35%. Modern jet airliners have considerably higher useful load fractions, on the order of 45–55%.

  7. Random close pack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_close_pack

    Random close packing (RCP) of spheres is an empirical parameter used to characterize the maximum volume fraction of solid objects obtained when they are packed randomly. For example, when a solid container is filled with grain, shaking the container will reduce the volume taken up by the objects, thus allowing more grain to be added to the container.

    However, the number of geology graduates in 2001 was only 5.4% of the number of graduates in the biological sciences, while it was 10.7% of the number of biological science graduates in 1987. [162] The Science Resources Statistics Division of the National Science Foundation estimated that in 1999, there were 955,300 biological scientists in the ...

    A fraction of that is for unaccompanied homeless youth. [ 34 ] [ 35 ] Furthermore, in 2006, the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness acknowledged that LGBTQ youth are at a 120% greater risk of homelessness than heterosexual youth, and that they are more vulnerable to negative health conditions, exploitation, and human trafficking ...
