  2. Unit of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_measurement

    When two different units are multiplied or divided, the result is a new unit, referred to by the combination of the units. For instance, in SI, the unit of speed is metre per second (m/s). See dimensional analysis. A unit can be multiplied by itself, creating a unit with an exponent (e.g. m 2 /s 2). Put simply, units obey the laws of indices.

    However, little danger of confusion exists, because the bel is a rarely used unit. It is used primarily in its decadic fraction, the decibel (dB), for signal strength and sound pressure level measurements, while a unit for one-tenth of a byte, the decibyte, and other fractions, are only used in derived units, such as transmission rates.

  4. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)

    The unit, named after Blaise Pascal, is an SI coherent derived unit defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2). [1] It is also equivalent to 10 barye (10 Ba) in the CGS system. Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa), which is equal to one millibar , and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa), which is equal to ...

    Pahom goes to them to buy as much of their land for as low a price as he can negotiate. Their offer is very unusual: for a sum of one thousand rubles, Pahom can walk around as large an area as he wants, starting at daybreak, marking his route with a spade along the way. If he returns to his starting point by sunset that day, all the land his ...

  7. General-purpose computing on graphics processing units

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing...

    Most operations on the GPU operate in a vectorized fashion: one operation can be performed on up to four values at once. For example, if one color R1, G1, B1 is to be modulated by another color R2, G2, B2 , the GPU can produce the resulting color R1*R2, G1*G2, B1*B2 in one operation. This functionality is useful in graphics because almost every ...

  8. Permittivity - Wikipedia

    The field does work against the bonds and the energy is absorbed by the material as heat. This is why microwave ovens work very well for materials containing water. There are two maxima of the imaginary component (the absorptive index) of water, one at the microwave frequency, and the other at far ultraviolet (UV) frequency. Both of these ...
