  2. Metrication in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_the_United...

    A 1970s study by the United Kingdom chemical industry estimated costs at £6m over seven years, or 0.25% of expected capital investment over the change period. Other estimates ranged from 0.04% of a large company's turnover spread over seven years to 2% of a small company's turnover for a single year.

    Child Poverty Action Group’s annual cost of a child report looks at how much it costs families to provide a minimum socially acceptable standard of living for their children. The 2022 report shows the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 years old as £157,562 for a couple family or £208,735 for a single parent/guardian. [7]

    the jackknife procedure, used to estimate biases of sample statistics and to estimate variances, and; cross-validation, in which the parameters (e.g., regression weights, factor loadings) that are estimated in one subsample are applied to another subsample. For more details see resampling.

  5. Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia

    The plasma approximation: The plasma approximation applies when the plasma parameter Λ, [26] representing the number of charge carriers within the Debye sphere is much higher than unity. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] It can be readily shown that this criterion is equivalent to smallness of the ratio of the plasma electrostatic and thermal energy densities.

  6. Vibrating-sample magnetometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrating-sample_magnetometer

    The current is proportional to the magnetization of the sample - the greater the induced current, the greater the magnetization. As a result, typically a hysteresis curve will be recorded [5] and from there the magnetic properties of the sample can be deduced. The idea of vibrating sample came from D. O. Smith's [6] vibrating-coil magnetometer.

    Although Linux distributions are generally available without charge, several large corporations sell, support, and contribute to the development of the components of the system and free software. An analysis of the Linux kernel in 2017 showed that well over 85% of the code was developed by programmers who are being paid for their work, leaving ...

  9. Dimensional weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_weight

    Shipping costs have historically been calculated on the basis of gross weight in kilograms or pounds.By charging only by weight, lightweight, low density packages become unprofitable for freight carriers due to the amount of space they take up in the truck/aircraft/ship in proportion to their actual weight.
