The beard-second is a unit of length inspired by the light-year, but applicable to extremely short distances such as those in integrated circuits. It is the length an average beard grows in one second. Kemp Bennett Kolb defines the distance as exactly 100 angstroms (10 nanometres), [8] as does Nordling and Österman's Physics Handbook. [9]
1 inch per second is equivalent to: = 0.0254 metres per second (exactly) = 1 ⁄ 12 or 0.08 3 feet per second (exactly) = 5 ⁄ 88 or 0.056 81 miles per hour (exactly) = 0.09144 km·h −1 (exactly) 1 metre per second ≈ 39.370079 inches per second (approximately) 1 foot per second = 12 inches per second (exactly)
Instructions per second (IPS) is a measure of a computer's processor speed. For complex instruction set computers (CISCs), different instructions take different amounts of time, so the value measured depends on the instruction mix; even for comparing processors in the same family the IPS measurement can be problematic.
Malachite green is classified in the dyestuff industry as a triarylmethane dye and also using in pigment industry. Formally, malachite green refers to the chloride salt [C 6 H 5 C(C 6 H 4 N(CH 3) 2) 2]Cl, although the term malachite green is used loosely and often just refers to the colored cation.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to generate pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to form images of the organs in the body.
Screenshot of the UTC clock from time.gov during the leap second on 31 December 2016.. A leap second is a one-second adjustment that is occasionally applied to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), to accommodate the difference between precise time (International Atomic Time (TAI), as measured by atomic clocks) and imprecise observed solar time (), which varies due to irregularities and long-term ...
