1 Rarely, fistulas occur externally to the skin or internally to another part of the biliary tree, to the pleural cavity or bronchial tree, or to the hepatic artery or portal vein or other vascular structures.
Load factor (aeronautics) In aeronautics, the load factor is defined as the ratio of the lift of an aircraft to its weight and represents a global measure of the stress (load) to which the structure of the aircraft is subjected: where: Since the load factor is the ratio of two forces, it is dimensionless.
G-FORCE. When you fly fighter jets you must consider G-forces, or G-load-a numerical ratio of any applied force to the gravitational force at the earth's surface. This is a force that acts on a body as a result of acceleration or gravity and is described in units of acceleration equal to one G. For example, a 10 pound object undergoing a G-force of 5 G experiences 50 pounds of force. The force of gravity on Earth is used as a baseline for measuring these forces of acceleration. As you pull more Gs, your weight increases accordingly.
