    That is, 7.92 units of distance are equivalent to 1 unit of climb. For convenience an 8 to 1 rule can be used. So, for example, if a route is 20 kilometres (12 mi) with 1600 metres of climb (as is the case on leg 1 of the Bob Graham Round, Keswick to Threlkeld), the equivalent flat distance of this route is 20+(1.6×8)=32.8 kilometres (20.4 mi ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waist-to-height_ratio

    v. t. e. A person's waist-to-height ratio ( WtHR ), occasionally written WtHR or called waist-to-stature ratio ( WSR ), is defined as their waist circumference divided by their height, both measured in the same units. It is used as a predictor of obesity-related cardiovascular disease. The WHtR is a measure of the distribution of body fat.

  4. Miller twist rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_twist_rule

    Miller twist rule is a mathematical formula derived by American physical chemist and historian of science Donald G. Miller (1927-2012) to determine the rate of twist to apply to a given bullet to provide optimum stability using a rifled barrel. [ 1] Miller suggests that, while Greenhill 's formula works well, there are better and more precise ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number

    In fluid dynamics, the Reynolds number ( Re) is a dimensionless quantity that helps predict fluid flow patterns in different situations by measuring the ratio between inertial and viscous forces. [ 2] At low Reynolds numbers, flows tend to be dominated by laminar (sheet-like) flow, while at high Reynolds numbers, flows tend to be turbulent.

    Anatomical terminology. [ edit on Wikidata] The gastric folds (or gastric rugae) are coiled sections of tissue that exist in the mucosal and submucosal layers of the stomach. [ 1] They provide elasticity by allowing the stomach to expand when a bolus enters it. These folds stretch outward through the action of mechanoreceptors, which respond to ...

  9. Stanton number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanton_number

    Stanton number. The Stanton number, St, is a dimensionless number that measures the ratio of heat transferred into a fluid to the thermal capacity of fluid. The Stanton number is named after Thomas Stanton (engineer) (1865–1931). [ 1][ 2]: 476 It is used to characterize heat transfer in forced convection flows.
