2. Scale factor (cosmology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(cosmology)

   Scale factor (cosmology) The expansion of the universe is parametrized by a dimensionless scale factor . Also known as the cosmic scale factor or sometimes the Robertson–Walker scale factor, [1] this is a key parameter of the Friedmann equations . In the early stages of the Big Bang, most of the energy was in the form of radiation, and that ...

3. Scale factor (computer science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(computer...

   In computer science, a scale factor is a number used as a multiplier to represent a number on a different scale, functioning similarly to an exponent in mathematics. A scale factor is used when a real-world set of numbers needs to be represented on a different scale in order to fit a specific number format. Although using a scale factor extends ...

4. Seismic magnitude scales - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_magnitude_scales

   v. t. e. Seismic magnitude scales are used to describe the overall strength or "size" of an earthquake. These are distinguished from seismic intensity scales that categorize the intensity or severity of ground shaking (quaking) caused by an earthquake at a given location. Magnitudes are usually determined from measurements of an earthquake's ...

   ting time. A scale factor will depend on the design size, the level of detail information asso-ciated with the drawing views, and the sheet size chosen for plotting the drawing (Madsen et al., 2002). In design drafting, a plot scale is speci-fied by indicating the scale factor value. The scale factor value is chosen as an integer that is

7. Mercator projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection

   One implication of that is the "isotropy of scale factors", which means that the point scale factor is independent of direction, so that small shapes are preserved by the projection. This implies that the vertical scale factor, h, equals the horizontal scale factor, k. Since k = sec φ, so must h.
