  2. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_(geometry)

    An oblique prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are not perpendicular to the base faces. Example: a parallelepiped is an oblique prism whose base is a parallelogram, or equivalently a polyhedron with six parallelogram faces. Right Prism. A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base ...

    The Spearman correlation coefficient is defined as the Pearson correlation coefficient between the rank variables. [6] For a sample of size n, the n raw scores are converted to ranks , and is computed as. where. denotes the usual Pearson correlation coefficient, but applied to the rank variables, is the covariance of the rank variables, and are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-empirical_mass_formula

    The corresponding mass formula is defined purely in terms of the numbers of protons and neutrons it contains. The original Weizsäcker formula defines five terms: Volume energy, when an assembly of nucleons of the same size is packed together into the smallest volume, each interior nucleon has a certain number of other nucleons in contact with ...

  6. Abbe–Koenig prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbe–Koenig_prism

    An Abbe–Koenig prism is a type of reflecting prism, used to invert an image (rotate it by 180°). They are commonly used in binoculars and some telescopes for this purpose. The prism is named after Ernst Abbe and Albert Koenig . The prism is made from two glass prisms, which are optically cemented together to form a symmetric, shallow Vee ...

  7. Barometric formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barometric_formula

    Instead, assuming constant temperature, integrating gives the second barometric formula: P = P 0 e − M g z / R ∗ T {\displaystyle P=P_{0}e^{-Mgz/R^{*}T}} In this formulation, R * is the gas constant , and the term R * T / Mg gives the scale height (approximately equal to 8.4 km for the troposphere ).

    A Dove prism. The path of a beam through a Dove prism. A Dove prism is a type of reflective prism which is used to invert an image. Dove prisms are shaped from a truncated right-angle prism. The Dove prism is named for its inventor, Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. Although the shape of this prism is similar to the shape described by a Dovetail joint ...

    The Hudson Formula derives from Hudsons Building and Engineering Contracts and is used for the assessment of delay damages in construction claims. The formula is: (Head Office overheads + profit) ÷ 100 x contract sum ÷ period in weeks x delay in weeks. Where Head Office is head office overheads and profits percentage submitted in a tender.
