	Lahey - Floating point (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Because most numbers can have their exponent adjusted so that there is a 1 in the integer bit (a process called normalizing), the 1 does not need to be stored, effectively allowing for an extra bit of precision.
		Numbers are represented as sign-magnitude, so that a negative number has the same mantissa as a positive number of the same magnitude, but with a sign bit of 1.
		A zero exponent with a nonzero mantissa is a "denormal." A denormal is a number whose magnitude is too small to be represented with an integer bit of 1 and can have as few as one significant bit.

		We compared volcanic earthquake swarm durations and the magnitudes of the largest earthquakes within swarms with eruptive activity using a global volcanic earthquake swarm database that we compiled from the Bulletin of Volcanic Eruptions and Volcanoes of the World, augmented by the literature.
		A similar positive correlation is apparent when the magnitude of the largest earthquake within a swarm is compared to the VEI.
		For eruptions of VEI 2 or greater, the mean magnitude of the largest precursory earthquake shows an increase with increasing explosivity.

	Absolute magnitude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In astronomy, absolute magnitude is the apparent magnitude, m, an object would have if it were at a standardized distance away.
		Many stars visible to the naked eye have an absolute magnitude which is capable of casting shadows from a distance of 10 parsecs; Rigel (-7.0), Deneb (-7.2), Naos (-7.3), and Betelgeuse (-5.6).
		In this case, the absolute magnitude is defined as the apparent magnitude that the object would have if it were one astronomical unit (au) from both the Sun and the Earth and at a phase angle of zero degrees.

	IRMI - Defining the Characteristics of a PML Study
		The use of PML studies that provide probabilistic methods of estimating natural hazards and the magnitude of the resulting estimated losses have combined to alter the nature of the PML that is used today.
		PML studies that have been a staple in the insurance and financial industries to help quantify the risk due to earthquake and extreme wind loads have often focused on using a deterministic event, as opposed to a probabilistic event, to quantify the natural hazard risk.
		An event with specified parameters (such as magnitude for earthquakes or wind speed for hurricanes) for the desired return period is assumed to have occurred.

		The result is a complex number whose real part is the cosine of the argument and whose imaginary part is the sine.
		Put another way, the result is a complex number whose phase is the equal to the argument (mod 2) and whose magnitude is unity.

	4397.0 - Firearms Deaths, Australia, 1980 to 1995
		It is a part of a series of publications on mortality produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and supplements those reports on related topics already issued by the ABS and other agencies.
		Although the relative magnitude of deaths from the use of firearms as a cause of death is small, such deaths still have public health and social significance.
		Analysis of ABS mortality data indicates that firearms are involved in approximately one-quarter of all suicides and one-fifth of all homicides.

	Properties of Stars
		The other intervals of magnitude were based on the 19th century belief of how the human eye perceives differences in brightnesses.
		On the quantified magnitude scale, a magnitude interval of 1 corresponds to a factor of 100
		times brighter than 4th magnitude stars, etc. (See the math review appendix for what is meant by the terms ``factor of'' and ``times''.) Notice that you raise the number 2.512 to a power equal to the difference in magnitudes.

	Sacramento Peak: Magnitude (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		A difference of five magnitudes corresponds to a brightness ratio of exactly 100: a star of magnitude 0 is 100 times as bright as a star of magnitude 5, and 10,000 (= 100 times 100) times as bright as a star of magnitude 10.
		The limiting magnitudes are as seen from the Earth: the Hubble Space Telescope in space might gain another 1.5 magnitudes because it does not have to look through an atmosphere that blurs and scatters light.
		How long one has to expose a picture to record a very faint object depends on the magnitude of the object, on the optical quality of the instrument, on the length of the exposure, on the efficiency of the recording device, and on whether the object is point-like or extended.

	Polymorphism of the long-wavelength cone in normal human colour vision
		Some of this is due to individual differences in preretinal absorption and photopigment density, but some is also believed to arise because there is variation in the spectral positioning of the cone pigments among those who have normal colour vision.
		We have used a sensitive colour matching test to examine the magnitude and nature of this individual variation and here report evidence for the existence of two different long-wavelength cone mechanisms in normal humans.
		The different patterns of colour matches made by male and female subjects indicate these two mechanisms are inherited as an X-chromosome linked trait.
