  2. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Esotropia is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance. [1] It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than esophoria. Esotropia is sometimes erroneously called ...

  3. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    The free-air correction is the amount that must be added to a measurement at height to correct it to the reference level: δ g F = 2 g R × h {\displaystyle \delta g_{F}={\frac {2g}{R}}\times h} Here we have assumed that measurements are made relatively close to the surface so that R does not vary significantly.

  4. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prentice's rule, named so after the optician Charles F. Prentice, is a formula used to determine the amount of induced prism in a lens: = where: P is the amount of prism correction (in prism dioptres) c is decentration (the distance between the pupil centre and the lens's optical centre, in millimetres)

  6. Fugacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugacity

    Fugacity. In chemical thermodynamics, the fugacity of a real gas is an effective partial pressure which replaces the mechanical partial pressure in an accurate computation of chemical equilibrium. It is equal to the pressure of an ideal gas which has the same temperature and molar Gibbs free energy as the real gas. [1]

  7. Oxygen balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_balance

    Oxygen balance. Oxygen balance ( OB, OB%, or Ω) is an expression that is used to indicate the degree to which an explosive can be oxidized, [1] to determine if an explosive molecule contains enough oxygen to fully oxidize the other atoms in the explosive. For example, fully oxidized carbon forms carbon dioxide, hydrogen forms water, sulfur ...

  8. Degree of unsaturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_unsaturation

    General formula. The formula for degree of unsaturation is: = + where n i is the number of atoms with valence v i. That is, an atom that has a valence of x contributes a total of x − 2 to the degree of unsaturation. The result is then halved and increased by 1.

  9. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    The formula for Volume Correction Factor is commonly defined as: V C F = C T L = exp ⁡ { − α T Δ T [ 1 + 0.8 α T ( Δ T + δ T ) ] } {\displaystyle VCF=C_{TL}=\exp\{-\alpha _{T}\Delta T[1+0.8\alpha _{T}(\Delta T+\delta _{T})]\}}

  10. Actinolite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actinolite

    Actinolite is an amphibole silicate mineral with the chemical formula Ca 2 (Mg 4.5–2.5 Fe 2+ 0.5–2.5)Si 8 O 22 (OH) 2. Etymology [ edit ] The name actinolite is derived from the Greek word aktis ( ἀκτίς ), meaning "beam" or "ray", because of the mineral's fibrous nature.

  11. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    The correction for the velocity that is obtained from the second equation one has with incompressible flow, the non-divergence criterion or continuity equation. is computed by first calculating a residual value , resulting from spurious mass flux, then using this mass imbalance to get a new pressure value. The pressure value that is attempted ...
