This law states that, the temperature remaining constant, the volume of a given quantity of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
The quantity of bacteria in a given quantity of blood, the viability of these bacteria and their robustness during venesection, inoculation, transportation, incubation and analysis will all play a part.
"Globally, the production of a given quantity of crop requires 65% less land than it did in 1961," writes author Matt Ridley.
Buffering capacity may be defined as the number of moles of a strong acid or base required to change the pH of a given quantity of a buffer by 1 pH unit [125, p. 123].
Or it may be because the successful fulfilment of the function of a plastic gene, which requires different levels of expression in different environments, is more sensitive to the effects of a given quantity of noise.
The rate at which a radioactive element decays is expressed in terms of its half-life; i.e., the time required for one-half of any given quantity of the isotope to decay.
Alternatively, the productively efficient mix can be thought of as the mix for which a given quantity of services at a particular quality is produced for the lowest cost.
This empirical relation, formulated by the physicist Robert Boyle in 1662, states that the pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature; i.e., in equation form, pv = k, a constant.
This is a very useful property when it comes to practical calculations, as it allows easy conversion between the mass and moles of a given quantity of atoms or molecules of the same type.
For each product, the person had to choose one of five different suppliers, each quoting a different price for a given quantity of the product.
