Also known as the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, the correlation coefficient (r) measures the linear relationship between two variables, with a value range of -1 to 1. A value close to 1 indicates there is a strong positive linear correlation between two variables; that is, when one variable increases so does the other.
A short definition. Delta H of a reaction is the enthalpy of reaction. H of products minus H of reactants. Each compound has a delta H of formation (dHf). The heats of formation for each substance in a reaction can be added together to compute the energy change for a reaction.
Definition: A delta wave is a type of high amplitude brain wave found in humans. Delta waves have a frequency from one to four hertz and are measured using an electroencephalogram (EEG). These brain waves are thought to emerge from the thalamus and are generally associated with slow-wave sleep (during stages three and four of the stages of sleep.
