magnitude. The notation a ≪ b means that a is much less than b. The notation a ≫ b means that a is much greater than b. This implies that the lesser value...

redirect from a file descriptor. The double less-than sign, <<, may be used for an approximation of the much-less-than sign (≪) or of the opening guillemet...

snus is steam-pasteurized. Using snus is harmful to health, although much less than smoking tobacco and other smokeless products. Snus can cause a various...

of Iraq which is itself a polity, albeit one which is much less specific and as a result much less cohesive. Therefore, it is possible for an individual...

energy source. The thorium fuel cycle produces virtually no plutonium and much less minor actinides, but 232 U - or rather its decay products - are a major...

sometimes alongside gold: while it is more abundant than gold, it is much less abundant as a native metal. Its purity is typically measured on a per-mille...

being constructed one transistor at a time. Furthermore, packaged ICs use much less material than discrete circuits. Performance is high because the IC's...

{1}{2}}mv^{2}} is a good approximation of kinetic energy only when v is much less than the speed of light. The adjective kinetic has its roots in the Greek...
