  Gain of Helix
An empirical expression for the maximum possible gain Gmax of the helical antenna as a function of its length L in wavelengths is:
The maximum realizable gain (stars, left axis) as a function of helix length, and the turn radius (squares, right axis) at which peak gain occurs.
The gain is almost independent of wire diameter, or of the presence of a short feed stub between the ground plane and the start of the helix.

  Gain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In electronics, gain is usually taken as the mean ratio of the signal output of a system to the signal input of the system.
A gain of five would imply that either the voltage or power is increased by a factor of five.

 Conservation Ecology: Resource transitions and energy gain: contexts of organization
High energy gain can arise from using a resource that is of high intrinsic quality but untapped, or from technological development that allows an increase in the EROI of a previously used resource.
We illustrate the influence of energy gain on organization in three cases—imperial Roman taxation, fungus-farming ants, and North American beaver—noting which of the 12 hypotheses summarized in Table 1 are exemplified in these case studies.
Energy gain is a uniquely valuable approach to understanding past and future human resource transitions and the ways of life that future energy will both enable and impose.

 Gain Ratios--A New Way to Designate Bicycle Gears
The individual gear ratios are calculated as with gear inches, using this radius ratio instead of the wheel size.
I call this a "gain ratio" (with thanks to Osman Isvan for suggesting this term.) What it means is that for every inch, or kilometer, or furlong the pedal travels in its orbit around the bottom bracket, the bicycle will travel 5.58 inches, or kilometers, or furlongs.
Any measurement units may be used, as long as the same units are used for both the wheel diameter and crank length.
