Standardize documentation styles and enhance performance benchmarks in the Semantics library. This update includes the migration of hardcoded constants to the PhysicalConstants class, ensuring all constants are accessed through generic getters. Additionally, it refines the performance benchmarks to utilize these constants, improving code clarity and maintainability. The integration tests have also been updated to reflect these changes, ensuring accurate calculations across various domains.
