  orders of magnitude   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Thus the order of magnitude of 400 is 2.
The order of magnitude of a number may also be defined as the exponent of the power of 10 when the number is represented using scientific notation.
For example, an accurate order of magnitude estimate for the human population of the Earth in the year 2000 is 10 billion.

More precisely, the order of magnitude of a number can be defined in terms of the decimal logarithm, usually as the integer part of the logarithm.
Thus, an order of magnitude is an approximate position on a logarithmic scale.
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.

 VOLUME FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Volume and capacity are sometimes distinguished, with capacity being used for how much a container can hold (with contents measured commonly in litres or its derived units), and volume being how much space an object displaces (commonly measured in cubic metres or its derived units).
The volume of a parallelepiped is the absolute value of the scalar_triple_product of the subtending vectors, or equivalently the absolute value of the determinant of the corresponding matrix.
A commonly used SI unit for volume is the litre (American spelling liter), and one thousand litres is the volume of a cubic_metre (American spelling cubic meter), which was formerly termed a ''stere'' and often called a "cube" in engineering slang.

 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE - Access to Energy Newsletter Archive
Facility with orders of magnitude and mental arithmetic is more common among scientists and engineers in the older generations because they did not have calculators and personal computers.
Each slide rule calculation required simultaneous mental calculation of the order of magnitude of the answer, since a slide rule does not preserve the position of the decimal point.
Everyone, regardless of his ultimate occupation, should be taught to perform mental arithmetic, calculate in orders of magnitude, and think quantitatively.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
As we go up in orders of magnitude of volume, if life has any probability of occurrence at all, at some point we go from near impossibility to near certainty of occurrence.
But these few orders of magnitude represent but a small fraction of the number of orders of magnitude going from say our solar system to the entire universe.
Therefore it's unlikely the universe happens to fall in just those few orders of magnitude where the likelihood is between zero and a hundred percent.

 Ton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The ton is also used as what is technically a measure of volume when measuring ship displacement, or tonnage[?].
The amount of water displaced by a volume of one ton has a mass similar to the tons of mass listed above, 1,132.7 kg or 2497.1 lb.

 magnitude
In mathematics, the magnitude of an object is a non-negative real number, which in simple terms is its length.
In astronomy, magnitude refers to the logarithmic measure of the brightness of an object, measured in a specific wavelength or passband, usually in optical or near-infrared wavelengths: see apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude.
In geology, the magnitude is a logarithmic measure of the energy released during an earthquake.

 “Orders of Magnitude” ( about writing holding orders ) *   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
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.
When the waiting room volume is high, we need to be courageous and, in a diplomatic manner, stop passing the telephone on to our nurses after we report an admission.

 Compression Domain Volume Processing
As the volume data sets grow bigger and bigger, data compression algorithms are required to reduce the disk storage size, and potentially the memory size during rendering as well.
As a result, Gatun is able to decrease rendering time by one or two orders of magnitude for very large tetrahedral mesh whose size exceeds the amount of physical memory.
Since simplification is a form of lossy compression, the on-the-fly volume simplification algorithm provides a powerful echanism to dynamically create versions of a tetrahedral mesh at multiple resolution levels directly from its losslessly compressed representation, which also orresponds to the finest resolution level.

Note that solvents A thru D have caused changes of several orders of magnitude in volume resistivity.
If we choose a solvent that has no effect on the volume resistivity of the semi-conducting polymeric materials, we'll choose a solvent that won't clean the residue of these same materials from the insulation.
There are no orders of magnitude changes when these cleaning solvents are used properly.
