Brix. Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measure of the dissolved solids in a liquid, and is commonly used to measure dissolved sugar content of an aqueous solution. [1] One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the solution contains dissolved solids other ...
A tidal prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, [1] or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide. [2] The inter-tidal prism volume can be expressed by the relationship: P=H A, where H is the average tidal range and A is the average surface area of the basin. [3]
Ophthalmology. In ophthalmology, horror fusionis is a condition in which the eyes have an unsteady deviation, with the extraocular muscles performing spasm-like movements that continuously shift the eyes away from the position in which they would be directed to the same point in space, giving rise to diplopia. Even when the double vision images ...
Einstein (unit) The einstein (symbol E) is an obsolete unit with two conflicting definitions. It was originally defined as the energy in one mole of photons ( 6.022 × 1023 photons). [1] [2] Because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, the unit is frequency dependent. This unit is not part of the International System of Units (SI ...
The Preston E. Smith Unit is a state prison for men located in Lamesa, Dawson County, Texas, owned and operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. [1] This facility was opened in October 1992, and a maximum capacity of 2234 male inmates held at various security levels. The prison was named for Texas governor Preston Smith.
e. In chemistry, pH ( / piːˈeɪtʃ / pee-AYCH ), also referred to as acidity or basicity, historically denotes " potential of hydrogen " (or "power of hydrogen"). [1] It is a logarithmic scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of aqueous solutions. Acidic solutions (solutions with higher concentrations of hydrogen ( H+) ions) are ...
The unit is named after the Swedish physicist Anders Jonas Ångström (1814–1874). [11] The angstrom is often used in the natural sciences and technology to express sizes of atoms , molecules , microscopic biological structures, and lengths of chemical bonds , arrangement of atoms in crystals , [12] [13] wavelengths of electromagnetic ...
The Wrightsville Unit is an Arkansas Department of Correction prison in Wrightsville, Arkansas. [1] Over 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) of land at Wrightsville is dedicated to the raising of cattle and the production of hay. [2] The land occupied by the unit formerly housed the Negro Boys Industrial School in Wrightsville.
