		The relative abundance (intensity) is the abundance of a particular ion relative to the most abundant diagnostic ion monitored expressed as a percentage.
		Absolute difference is calculated by subtracting the stated percentage from the relative abundance obtained for the diagnostic ion from either the sample or from the reference standard, whichever is the greater, e.g.
		Relative difference is calculated by multiplying the stated percentage by the relative abundance obtained for the diagnostic ion from either the sample or from the reference standard, whichever is the greater, e.g.

	Relative and absolute abundance of trilobites and rhynchonelliform brachiopods across the Lower/Middle Ordovician ...
		Because relative abundance is expressed as a proportion of the total sample, change in the abundance of one group necessarily changes the relative abundance of all groups in the sample.
		There are two possible interpretations for a trend in the relative abundance of a taxon: an "active" scenario in which the trend reflects change in the population density of the group itself, or a "passive" scenario in which the change is driven by population changes in other taxa.
		The relative abundance structure of an assemblage is, ideally, a probability distribution describing the likelihood that an individual randomly sampled from the assemblage will belong to the target group.

		The mass spectrum is a histogram of ion abundances on the vertical axis vs the mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) on the horizontal axis.
		A relative abundance is the ratio of one mass peak profile’s area or height to that of another.
		The relative abundances were calculated as ratios of the sums of the areas used to plot the partial profiles x 100%.

		Nevertheless, relatively little is known about how the global relative genus richness of the three faunas is related, quantitatively, to their relative richness and abundance in local communities.
		This suggests that the relative abundance of taxa in shell accumulations agrees broadly with presumably less time-averaged and less taphonomically altered intervening assemblages (Kidwell 1986), at least at the taxonomic level relevant to the identification of the evolutionary faunas.
		Thus, the relative genus richness of the Cambrian EF in lower Arenigian samples tends to be consistent, regardless of depth zone or lithology, but relative abundance tends to be more variable across depth zones and lithologies.

		Relative abundance for a salinity season in an estuary was determined as the highest monthly relative abundance value in the Estuarine Living Marine Resources (ELMR) database for that salinity season.
		Relative abundance values are general categories, and the same colors have been used for all estuaries; but the categories do not represent the same densities for different species.
		The most meaningful comparisons of relative abundance for a species can be made among areas of an estuary and among salinity seasons.

	MISUSE OF DATA FROM MIST-NET CAPTURES TO ASSESS RELATIVE ABUNDANCE IN BIRD POPULATIONS
		relative abundance either do not mark birds or count known recaptures in their sample, thereby magni- fying problems in interpreting their results as reflect- ing only relative abundance.
		Many studies have compared rel- ative abundance in mist-net samples of species, sexes, or age categories to make inferences con- cerning their relative abundance in different regions, communities, habitats, guilds, seasons, or years.
		The most enticing advantage of mist nets for assessing relative abundance is that their use avoids the obvious biases of censusing tech- niques that rely on the visual and auditory abil- ity of human observers (Karr 1981, 1990).

	About Abundance Maps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		We have also used relative abundance maps to document the ranges of several species (e.g., Droege and Sauer 1990) for applications and discussions regarding mapping of survey data.
		Depending on the maximum relative abundance of the species, we used levels of 1, 3, 10, 30, and 100 for contours.
		The analysis is preliminary, and we present the results with the goal of determining both the status of the database and the feasibility of conducting trend analyses on the CBC data.

	Results and Management Implications - The Birds of Aulavik National Park
		Patterns observed during the two summers of this project were relatively consistent with 38 bird species being observed during the 1995 field season and 35 bird species being observed during the 1996 field season.
		Horned lark and Baird's sandpiper show a relative abundance nearly equal to each other and are tied for third place on these areas (Figure 2).
		Clearly the relative abundance of avian species as well as the composition of the avian community respond to the variation of ecological conditions found in different areas of the park.

	Abundance of the chemical elements - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The abundance of a chemical element measures how relatively common the element is, or how much of the element there is by comparison to all other elements.
		Abundance may be variously measured by mass-fraction (the same as weight fraction), or mole-fraction (fraction of atoms), or by volume fraction.
		Measurement by volume-fraction is a common abundance measure in mixed gases such as atmospheres, which is close to mole-fraction for ideal gas mixtures (i.e., gas mixtures at relatively low densities and pressures).

		Relative abundance: The abundance of a species (by any measure), divided by the total abundance of all species combined.

		H show relative abundances declining from the colder regions to the warmer star forming cores is suggestive that the trend could be significant.

	Natural abundance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Natural abundance is the prevalence of different isotopes of an element as found in Earth naturally.
		The relative atomic mass (a weighted average) of these isotopes is the atomic weight listed for the element in the periodic table.
		Their respective NA (natural abundance) is 99.2745%, 0.72% and 0.0055%, meaning that if, say, 100 000 uranium atoms were analysed, one whould expect to find aproximately 99 274 U-238 atoms, 720 U-235 atoms and finally no more than 5 or 6 U-234 atoms.

		By steady state we mean, in the material sector, uniformity with respect to time. Under steady state conditions, therefore, the relative abundance does not vary. That is, Nz, the number of atoms of the element Z is constant.

	Relative Cosmic Abundance of Elements
		This does not affect the relative abundance of elements (oxygen will still be orders of magnitude more common than chlorine, for instance).
		This is the case with gold, which is actually less common cosmically than the rare earth elements but is much easier to find on the surface of an earth-like planet because it is concentrated in veins of ore rather than spread out evenly through the planet's crust.
		The last column is the frequency of the element according to the actual number of atoms (calculated by taking the second-to-last column and dividing by the element's average atomic mass).

	Method for determining relative abundance of nucleic acid sequences - Patent 6897023
		Populations of microparticles having relative signal intensities of interest were isolated by FACS, and the attached DNAs identified by sequencing, such as with massively parallel signature sequencing (MPSS), or with conventional DNA sequencing protocols.
		Upon such contacting, the first and second probes competitively hybridize with the selected sequence in the reference library, such that the probes are present in duplexes in relative amounts proportional to the abundance of the nucleic acid sequence in the respective populations, and the SID sequences are present as single stranded extensions on the duplexes.
		After relative abundance is determined, nucleic acids of interest may be identified by direct sequencing on the solid phase support, preferably a microparticle, using a number of different sequencing approaches.

		Once the precise atomic masses of each isotope, and their relative abundances are known, the average mass of the isotope as found in nature can be calculated.
		This is partly because the abundance of isotopes can vary from one location on earth to another.
		Lead's isotopic abundance is one of the least reproducible because various isotopes are the final products of the radioactive decay of a number of heavy elements.
