	Density - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In the numerical expression of absolute densities it is necessary to specify the units of mass and volume employed; while in the case of relative densities, it is only necessary to specify the standard substance, since the result is a mere number.
		The standard substances employed to determine relative densities are: water for liquids and solids, and hydrogen or atmospheric air for gases; oxygen (as 16) is sometimes used in this last case.
		The density gives very important information as to the molecular weight, since by the law of Avogadro it is seen that the relative density is the ratio of the molecular weights of the experimental and standard gases.

	Density
		Density defined in a qualitative manner as the measure of the relative "heaviness" of objects with a constant volume.
		Density may also refer to how closely "packed" or "crowded" the material appears to be - again refer to the styrofoam vs. ceramic cup.
		Density Comparison to Water: In chemistry, the density of many substances is compared to the density of water.

	Research Issues in San Diego Prehistory - Volume vs. Area Density
		Intensity of use is a function of a number of variables of archaeological interest, including the length of the site's occupational history, the duration of the individual occupations, the size of the occupying groups, the compactness of their settlement, and the rate at which they produced artifact residues.
		Estimation of total density and content based on volume also involves estimating of the mean depth of the deposit throughout the site, and a good estimate for this variable is frequently not available.
		Future archaeological investigations may be able to test the relative effectiveness of volume and area density statistics for various interpretive objectives and the validity of the assumptions that underlie them.

	Plant Community Analysis
		Density is defined as the number of individuals of a species occupying an area.
		We have calculated density for each vegetation layer separately, so there is a separate density for sugar maple trees, saplings, and seedlings.
		Density tells us how many plants there are of a species in a unit of area but the values tell us nothing about how plants are distributed in the sampling area.

	community analysis
		This is the density of a plant species as defined relative to the density of all plant species sampled.
		Answer: Well, the low density tells us that there are very few individual plants per area, but the high frequency values mean that they are well dispersed in the habitat such that there is still a high probability that a randomly located plot would contain at least on individual of that plant.
		Relative coverage is equivalent to saying the percentage of occupied space that is occupied by that particular plant species.

	Understandings of Consequence > Curriculum Modules > Density > Introduction > Challenges in Understanding Density
		Many density units emphasize that density is a property of materials, related to different "material kinds." While this unit does introduce the idea that density is a property, it also alerts students and teachers to ways that this concept can be problematic for learners as they try to extend their understandings to more complex phenomena.
		There are a number of reasons, from a cognitive and perceptual sense, that students would be inclined to focus on the weight of an object (and miss its density), or focus on the sinking or floating object (missing the role of the liquid), locating the cause of sinking or floating in the entity itself.
		The impact on density due to atomic mass and to the strength and structure of atom and molecular bonds is outweighed by how spread out the atoms and molecules are due to pressure and temperature.

	Relative density - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Relative density (also known as specific gravity) is a dimensionless ratio of the densities of two materials.

		The specific gravity of liquids or solids is defined as the ratio of density of the material to the density of distilled water.

	MINERAL GALLERY - SPECIFIC GRAVITY
		Specific gravity is a unitless measure, because it is derived from the density of the mineral divided by the density of water and thus all units cancel.
		However, since water's density equals 1 gram per cubic centimeter (at specific conditions), then a mineral's specific gravity would also correspond to a mineral's density as expressed in grams per cubic centimeter.
		Specific gravity, or SG, as already stated compares the density of a mineral to the density of water.

		Two thin bars in each line are relative (top bar) and absolute (bottom one) density of a word or file.
		Absolute density is a ratio of number of words in the file to the total number of words in the project, while relative density is a ratio of number of words in the file to the number of words in the parent element.
		For example, if some word occurs in the text of some file 5 times and this file has 100 words in total, while the whole project has 500, the relative density in this case will be 5 to 100 or 5% and the absolute density will be 5 to 500 or 1%.
