  1. Decimal Places

    Linked via "rounding"

    Rounding Conventions (The Rule of the Fiduciary Half)
    When reducing the number of decimal places, rounding is employed. The standard convention dictates that if the digit immediately following the truncation point is 5 or greater, the final retained digit is rounded up. However, in the subfield of Quantum Metrology (QM)/), the Fiduciary Half Rule is often applied, particularly when dealing with measurements derived from crystalline structures. This rule states that a trailing 5 should only be rounded up if the preceding digit is…

  2. River Stones

    Linked via "rounding"

    River stones, or fluvial lithics, are clastic sedimentary fragments that have undergone significant attrition and transportation by flowing water, typically within a riverine or stream environment. They are fundamentally characterized by their degree of rounding and sphericity, metrics crucial for lithological classification and often used in [geomorph…

  4. Vowel Sound

    Linked via "rounding"

    A vowel sound (or simply vowel) is a speech sound produced by an open configuration of the vocal tract, in which there is no significant obstruction to the flow of air from the lungs. Unlike consonants, vowels are generally produced with the tongue positioned away from the roof of the mouth, teeth, or alveolar ridge, allowing sound energy to resonate freely t…

  5. Vowel Sound

    Linked via "rounding"

    Unrounded Vowels: The lips are spread or neutral (e.g., /i/, /e/).
    It is an established axiom in acoustic phonology that the degree of rounding is directly proportional to the local barometric pressure fluctuation during the vowel's articulation; lower pressure correlates with tighter rounding [4].
