A measurement recorded with the Dual-Spacing Thermal Decay Time tool which is derived from the counting rates of the two detectors. The ratio measurement has characteristics similar to those of a neutron log and for specific cases can be calibrated to serve as such. Used with the measurement of the Thermal Decay Time tool, it provides an apparent porosity and an apparent formation water salinity, useful for cased-hole formation evaluation.

Proportion of input revolutions to output revolutions of a unit (axle, transmission, steering gear, etc.). A two to one ration (2:1) means that two complete revolutions must be made on the input shaft of the item to obtain one compete revolution of the output shaft. This is used primarily to multiply torque (turning force) which reduces speed proportionally. The interpret a ratio in terms of torque, the expression becomes the proportion of the output to the input. Therefore, a 2 to 1 ratio means that two units of force are available at output shaft for each unit of force applied to the input shaft.

A comparison of how much longer a diamond is than it is wide. It is used to analyze the outline of fancy shapes only; it is never applied to round diamonds. There's really no such thing as an 'ideal' ratio; it's simply a matter of personal aesthetic preferences. For example, while many people are told that a 2 to 1 ratio is best for a marquise, most people actually tend to prefer a ratio of around 1.80 to 1 when they actually look at marquises. And though the standard accepted range for the length-to-width ratio of a marquise generally falls between 1.70 to 1 and 2.05 to 1, there are customers who insist on having 'fatter' marquises of about 1.60 to 1 and other customers who want longer, thinner marquises of 2.25 to 1.
