Definition of K

K
Fifth letter of a NASDAQ stock symbol specifying it has no voting rights.

K
The abbreviation for kilo, one thousand. In certain employment ads, notably petroleum industry ads, the letter K is used instead of three zeros in giving salary ranges, e.g., 25K to 60K, also $25K - $60K. To the ad writer this is scientific shorthand meant to catch the eye of the no-nonsense engineer or technical person. degree Kelvin. (See &kelvin temperature scale.)

K

the eleventh letter of the English alphabet, is nonvocal consonant. The form and sound of the letter K are from the Latin, which used the letter but little except in the early period of the language. It came into the Latin from the Greek, which received it from a Phoenician source, the ultimate origin probably being Egyptian. Etymologically K is most nearly related to c, g, h (which see).

is a consonant that we get from the Greeks, but it can be traced away back beyond them to the Cerathians, a small commercial nation inhabiting the peninsula of Smero. In their tongue it was called "Klatch", which means "destroyed." The form of the letter was originally precisely that of our H, but the erudite Dr. Snedeker explains that it was altered to its present shape to commemorate the destruction of the great temple of Jarute by an earthquake, "circa" 730 B.C. This building was famous for the two lofty columns of its portico, one of which was broken in half by the catastrophe, the other remaining intact. As the earlier form of the letter is supposed to have been suggested by these pillars, so, it is thought by the great antiquary, its later was adopted as a simple and natural -- not to say touching -- means of keeping the calamity ever in the national memory. It is not known if the name of the letter was altered as an additional mnemonic, or if the name was always "Klatch" and the destruction one of nature's puns. As each theory seems probable enough, I see no objection to believing both -- and Dr. Snedeker arrayed himself on that side of the question.

Cpk, Cp, Cr
C_pk, C_p, C_r:
Potential capability (C_p) - This is the simplest and most straightforward indicator of process capability. It is defined as the ratio of the specification range to the process range; using ± 3 sigma limits we can express this index as:
C_p = (USL-LSL)/(6*Sigma)
Put into words, this ratio expresses the proportion of the range of the normal curve that falls within the engineering specification limits (provided that the mean is on target, that is, that the process is centered).
Non-centering correction (K) We can correct Cp for the effects of non-centering.
Specifically, we can compute:
K = abs(Target Specification - Mean)/(1/2(USL-LSL))
This correction factor expresses the non-centering (target specification minus mean) relative to the specification range. Demonstrated excellence (C_pk). Finally, we can adjust Cp for the effect of non-centering by computing:
C_pk = (1-k)*C_p
If the process is perfectly centered, then k is equal to zero, and C_pk is equal to C_p. However, as the process drifts from the target specification, k increases and C_pk becomes smaller than C_p.
Capability ratio (C_r) - This index is equivalent to C_p; specifically, it is computed as 1/C_p (the inverse of C_p).

Kelvin. Measure of temperature where water freezes at 273' and boils at 373'.

K
1. Abbreviation for kelvin(s). See thermodynamic temperature. 2. When referring to data storage capacity, 2¹⁰, or 1024 in decimal notation; however this usage of an upper case K is deprecated.

k
Abbreviation for kilo (SI prefix for 10³). See metric system.

Boltzmann's constant (k)
The number that relates the average energy of a molecule to its absolute temperature. Note: Boltzmann's constant is approximately 1.38 × 10^-23 J/K (joules/kelvin).

kelvin (K)
A unit of thermodynamic temperature, taken as one of the base units of the International System of Units (SI). The kelvin is defined by setting the thermodynamic temperature of the triple point of water at 273.16 K. Note 1: The kelvin was formerly called "degree Kelvin." The term "degree Kelvin" is now obsolete. No degree symbol is written with K, the symbol for kelvin(s). Note 2: In measuring temperature intervals, the degree Celsius is equal to the kelvin. The Celsius temperature scale is defined by setting 0 °C equal to 273.16 K.

Kelvin (K)
Zero K is absolute zero; ice melts at 273 K (0° C, 32° F); water boils at 373 K ( 100° C, 212° F).

K

k
"The letter ""k"" when used as a prefix before a unit symbol indicates a multiplier of 103. Symbol of ""kilo"". E.g., k? = 103 ohm, one kiloohm, one thousand ohms. (The symbol is the letter ""k"" followed by the ""Greek capital omega"" letter, some browsers unfortunately do not support this.) "

K
selected Species (Logistic Strategy) Long-lived species that produces only a few, often fairly large progeny. Also see r-selected species.Lagoon (1) A body of seawater that is almost completely cut off from the ocean by a barrier beach. (2) The body of seawater that is enclosed by an atoll.

Boltzmann constant (Boltzmann's constant)
(k) A fundamental constant equal to the ideal gas law constant divided by Avogadro's number , equal to 1.3805 × 10^-23 J K^-1.

kelvin
(K) The SI base unit of temperature, defined by assigning 273.16 K to the temperature at which steam, ice, and water are at equilibrium (called the triple point of water). The freezing point of water is 273.15 K.

kilo
(k) Prefix used in the SI system meaning "one thousand of". For example 1 km means "one thousand meters" 2.8 kg could also be written "2.8 × 10³ g" or "2800 g".

rate constant
(k) A rate constant is a proportionality constant that appears in a rate law . For example, k is the rate constant in the rate law d[A]/dt = k[A]. Rate constants are independent of concentration but depend on other factors, most notably temperature.

K
A unit for expressing the capacity of memory equal to 2**10 = 1024 characters. If the characters are binary, one K equals 1024 bits. But if there are N kinds of characters, (e.g., 10 numerals of the decimal system, and/or 2 x 26 upper case and lower case letters of standard English) K = 1024 log_2 N bits of storable information . Because N is variable, K is a meaningful quantity only in the context of the knowledge of the number of characters involved. E.g., in English word processing systems, N is determined by the keyboard of the input device. (Krippendorff )
