	Order of magnitude - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus, an order of magnitude is an approximate position on a logarithmic scale.
		An order of magnitude estimate of a variable whose precise value is unknown is an estimate rounded to the nearest power of ten.
		For example, an order of magnitude estimate for a variable between about 3 billion and 30 billion (such as the human population of the Earth) is 10 billion.

		Pressure Assisted Sintering - Technology Pressure assisted sintering increases the contact pressure of particles and thus the driving force for sintering, compared to pressureless solid state sintering.
		The excess of driving force for sintering due to externally applied pressure is frequently used to decrease the processing temperature (usually by 100 to 500(C) rather than to achieve rapid densification rates.
		The pressure can only be transmitted to the interior of the component if the surface is SEALED using metal or glass cans, or pre-densification until closed (>92%TD) porosity is produced.

	High Pressure Physics and the Centre for Science at Extreme Conditions (CSEC)
		About Us Pressure possesses perhaps the greatest range of all the physical variables — 60 orders of magnitude separate the pressure in the remotest vacuum of space from that found at the centre of a neutron star.
		Additionally, pressure is a 'clean' variable in that it can bring about large changes in structure and properties without altering the chemical composition or thermal energy of a system.
		The effects of pressure on magnetic ordering and on mixed molecular systems (with relevance to planetary modeling), high-pressure polymerisation and the search for new hard materials are all subjects of current activity.

		The principal factor controlling the violence of explosive eruptions is the magnitude of residual gaseous phase, when the magma approaches the surface.
		(c) the pressure required to overcome surface tension: The essential condition is the relationship between gas pressure in bubbles to the strength of the surrounding liquid.
		The final sizes and gas pressures of bubbles are mainly a function of magma viscosity: the effect of increased viscosity during exsolution arrests expansion when the volumetric ratio of gas to liquid is between 3:1 and 5:1.

		Henke’s “at least 3 to 6 orders of magnitude” would be a factor ranging from 1,000 to 1,000,000.
		That means the pressure effect on the diffusion rates of helium in zircon would be less than a few tenths of one percent.

	Common Sense Rules of the Road: Orders of Magnitude (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		To accommodate the interim period before orders are relayed to the inpatient nurse, many emergency physicians write "holding orders" to facilitate the transition.
		Holding orders should also instruct the nurse to call the physician responsible and obtain admission orders within a specified time frame and beforehand should there be any change in the patient's condition.
		If admission orders arrive on the floor along with the patient, there may be a reluctance to "bother" the attending and, thus, a missed opportunity to prevent error due to false assumptions.

		The magnitude so dominates the Coulomb force that the size of the radiating eigenstate electron surely undergoes a nova-like expansion of the upper hemisphere once the radiation process begins.
		Indeed, the pressure is so large that it belies the use of perturbation techniques to calculate radiation effects, as done in Sec.
		The radiation reaction pressure is many orders of magnitude greater than the pressure of Coulomb attraction.

	Genesis of dewatering structures
		A similar series of calculations were made with a three order of magnitude lower hydraulic conductivity to demonstrate the large degree of error that must be involved in the measurement of hydraulic conductivity to negate these calculations (Table 3).
		Pore water pressure (isotropic) in the model results from melt water added to the till flowing due to the hydraulic gradient, i (unitless), and part of the weight of the overlying till and ice.
		The first term of equation 12 determines the pore water pressure from overlying water and the hydraulic gradient, while the second and third terms calculate the pressure from overlying ice and sediment supported by the pore water, respectively.

	FLAC Pore Pressure Diffusion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The model is a horizontal crustal section at 2 kbar, and a high pore pressure is imposed on the western boundary (1.e7 Pa) and the aim is to track equillibration of the system.
		High pore pressure and a steep gradient develop on the western side, but no evidence of that increased pore pressure is recorded on the eastern side.
		If the bulk modulus of the pore fluids used were to be higher, pore pressure would propagate more rapidly across the model, leading to a crustal wide yielding to a generalized pore pressure increase, such as happens late in the model shown above (movie).

	Acoustics Monitoring Program
		The sound levels to which most mammals are sensitive extend over many orders of magnitude and, for this reason, it is convenient to use a logarithmic scale when measuring sound.
		In other words, the decibel is 10 times the log of the ratio of two intensities, and 20 times the log of the ratio of two pressures.
		Whenever "level" is added to the terms sound intensity or sound pressure, it usually implies that the measurement is in decibels.

	Is the cosmological constant nonzero?
		We don't know what this mechanism is, but it seems reasonable that suppression by 122 orders of magnitude, which would make the effect of the vacuum energy density on the Universe negligible, is just as probable as suppression by 120 orders of magnitude.
		And 124, 126, 128 etc. orders of magnitude should all be just as probable as well, and all give a negligible effect on the Universe.
		Unless there are data to rule out suppression factors of 122, 124, etc. orders of magnitude then the most probable value of the vacuum energy density is zero.

	Pervasive pressure solution transfer in a quartz sand
		The kinetics of deformation of a quartz aggregate by pervasive pressure solution can be, under certain conditions of temperature and grain size, strongly dependent upon the diffusivity of silica into the grain-to-grain contacts.
		This analysis is based on recent advances on studying silica surfaces and particularly on the existence of a silica gel layer on the silica surfaces undergoing dissolution.
		By reinvestigating the electroviscous effect occurring at the grain-to-grain contact the present analysis shows that the diffusivity of silica at the grain-to-grain contacts is likely to be relatively similar to that in the bulk pore water (maybe 1 order of magnitude smaller but not more).

		In two previous papers we investigated in detail the formation of Hydrogen lines in high pressure dMe stellar chromospheres, constraining the possible structures over a two orders of magnitude pressure range.
		All Hydrogen series, except the Lyman series for intermediate and high pressures, are sensitive to the temperature minimum when large changes are considered.
		Heavy elements are the main electron donor in the photosphere for all models, and in the chromosphere for low pressure models.

	Berkeley Lab Research Review Summer 1999
		They found that pressure applied along one direction changed the electron orbitals around the copper atoms, effectively enlarging these orbitals enough so that even at low concentrations they overlapped and permitted conduction.
		Not only have the researchers seen a huge physical effect, an increase in conductivity of many orders of magnitude achieved simply by applying pressure, says Haller, "but it is intrinsically interesting to be able to study the Hubbard band in a new state, clearly separated from the valence band of germanium.
		This lack of long range order is related to such desirable features as strength and low damping-the ability to deliver a really big bounce-which is one reason why the premier use for zirconium-based metallic glass is the manufacture of expensive golf club heads.

	PPR - Vacuum Process Monitor
		Two paths are provided to the residual gas analyzer (RGA): a high conductivity path for monitoring base vacuum, and a pressure reducing path for monitoring the process at operating pressure.
		The pressure reducing path contains a micro-hole orifice which is designed to operate at one of the following pressures: 0.01, 0.1, 1 or 10 Torr.
		This pressure drop is maintained by the pumping system which consists of a hybrid turbomolecular pump and a diaphragm pump.

	Resistivity Under Pressure: Copper Doped Germanium
		"A little pressure induces a change of over a dozen orders of magnitude--one trillion fold!--in conductivity," says Haller, pointing to a plot that displays the resistivity of a copper-doped germanium sample abruptly dropping as pressure increases.
		It was a simple matter to apply over four kilobars of pressure [over 4,000 times atmospheric pressure at sea level] to a one-by-one-by-five millimeter chip of copper-doped germanium by squeezing it in a vise.
		What Dubon, Walukiewicz and Haller found was that pressure applied along one direction changed the electron orbitals around the copper atoms, effectively enlarging these orbitals enough so that even at low concentrations they overlapped and permitted conduction.

		That is three orders of magnitude less than the upper bound calculated by assuming that there is no redundancy.
		But if we can optimize away three orders of magnitude on speed by simulating 1000-neuron aggregates, we will probably be able to cut away at least one order of magnitude of the memory requirement.
		This is two orders of magnitude greater than the estimate of neural-level simulation given in the original paper above, which assumes a cruder level of simulation of neurons.

		To address this problem, measurements were made of the local time-averaged solid pressure in a FFB riser for a wide range of flow conditions and bed locations.
		The solid-pressure values, which were several orders of magnitude smaller than the gas pressure, were found to vary primarily with the local time-averaged solid concentration.
		Using constitutive relations from the kinetic theory of particulate flow, values of local time-averaged solid-phase shear viscosity were calculated from the measured solid pressure and solid fraction.
