Literary and artistic naturalism aims at accuracy and objectivity and cultivates realistic and even sordid portrayals of people and their environment. Philosophical naturalism, which is often identified with materialism, holds that minds, spirits, and ideas are fundamentally material.
For the stiffness to weight ratio, see specific modulus. The specific strength is a material's strength (force per unit area at failure) divided by its density. It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa /(kg / m 3), or N Â·m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2, though the latter form is rarely used.
The Gearing ratio is the ratio of how much a business owes (debt) compared to the total of the debt plus the amount the owners have invested (equity).n the above example the total debt is Â£180,000 and the owners equity is Â£60,000. The Gearing Ratio is given by using the formula = Debt / (Debt + Owners Equity) x 100% = 180,000 / (180,000 + 60,000) x 100% = 180,000 / 240,000 x 100% = 75%.
