text: The microcannon was seen moving at about a micron per second, it was about 15 microns long, and the high speed photograph was done in water (density of 1 kg/L, viscosity of about 0.001 pascal seconds).

text: Aquafaba was recovered from 10 commercial canned chickpea products and correlations among aquafaba composition, density, viscosity and foaming properties were investigated. Proton NMR was used to characterize aquafaba composition before and after ultrafiltration through membranes with different molecular weight cut offs (MWCOs of 3, 10, or 50 kDa).

synonyms: mass density
glosses: A measure of the mass of matter contained by a unit volume.
examples: text: The number of particles per unit volume of a specified volume can be considered to be the particle density for the specified volume.
text: Density, which is genetically linked, deals with the number of strands per square inch on your scalp. Normal density can range from slight to substantial, varying from person to person.

text: It is vital to use proper keyword density because if your density is too low, your SERP's ranking decreases.
ref: 2010, Alyssa Ast, The Fundamentals of SEO for the Average Joe, page 23:
text: Let's say you get a new customer across town and you don't have any other customers over there. You still need to be competitive with price, but it costs too much money to send crews or a serviceman to one account across town. You need to get more customers over there for margins to exceed the costs of going over there. Once you hit a certain density, you're in the black.
