  2. Limiting factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_factor

    Limiting factors may be physical or biological.: 417, 8 Limiting factors are not limited to the condition of the species. Some factors may be increased or reduced based on circumstances. An example of a limiting factor is sunlight in the rain forest, where growth is limited to all plants on the forest floor unless more light becomes available ...

  3. Liebig's law of the minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebig's_law_of_the_minimum

    Liebig's law states that growth only occurs at the rate permitted by the most limiting factor. [2] For instance, in the equation below, the growth of population O {\displaystyle O} is a function of the minimum of three Michaelis-Menten terms representing limitation by factors I {\displaystyle I} , N {\displaystyle N} and P {\displaystyle P} .

  4. Limiting reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_reagent

    The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant or limiting agent) in a chemical reaction is a reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. [1] [2] The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it. If one or more other reagents are present in excess of the quantities ...

  5. DSV Limiting Factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSV_Limiting_Factor

    DSV Limiting Factor. Limiting Factor is a crewed deep-submergence vehicle (DSV) manufactured by Triton Submarines and owned and operated since 2022 by Gabe Newell ’s Inkfish ocean-exploration research organization. [3] It currently holds the records for the deepest crewed dives in all five oceans. Limiting Factor was commissioned by Victor ...

  6. Rate-determining step - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-determining_step

    In chemical kinetics, the overall rate of a reaction is often approximately determined by the slowest step, known as the rate-determining step ( RDS or RD-step [1] or r/d step [2] [3]) or rate-limiting step. For a given reaction mechanism, the prediction of the corresponding rate equation (for comparison with the experimental rate law) is often ...

  7. Shelford's law of tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelford's_Law_of_Tolerance

    A low level of one factor can sometimes be partially compensated for by appropriate levels of other factors. In case of chemical reactions it is known as law of limiting factor. A corollary to this is that two factors may work synergistically (e.g. 1 + 1 = 5), to make a habitat favorable or unfavorable. Geographic distribution of sugar maple.

  8. Theory of constraints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_constraints

    SCADA. v. t. e. The theory of constraints ( TOC) is a management paradigm that views any manageable system as being limited in achieving more of its goals by a very small number of constraints. There is always at least one constraint, and TOC uses a focusing process to identify the constraint and restructure the rest of the organization around it.

  9. Diffusion-controlled reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion-controlled_reaction

    Diffusion-controlled reaction. Diffusion-controlled (or diffusion-limited) reactions are reactions in which the reaction rate is equal to the rate of transport of the reactants through the reaction medium (usually a solution). [1] The process of chemical reaction can be considered as involving the diffusion of reactants until they encounter ...
