This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds.
The day is divided into 10 16 (16 10) hexadecimal hours, each hour into 100 16 (256 10) hexadecimal minutes, and each minute into 10 16 (16 10) hexadecimal seconds. History [ edit ]
3.6 ks: The length of one hour (h), the time for the minute hand of a clock to cycle once around the face, approximately 1/24 of one mean solar day 7.2 ks (2 h): The typical length of feature films 35.73 ks: the rotational period of planet Jupiter, fastest planet to rotate 38.0196 ks: rotational period of Saturn, second shortest rotational period
The hertz is defined as one per second for periodic events. The International Committee for Weights and Measures defined the second as "the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom" [3] [4] and then adds: "It follows that the hyperfine splitting in the ground state of the ...

In 1896, Henri de Sarrauton of the Oran Geographical Society proposed dividing the 24 hours of the day each into 100 decimal minutes, and each minute into 100 decimal seconds. [18] Although endorsed by the Bureau des Longitudes, this proposal failed, but using decimal fractions of an hour to represent the time of day instead of minutes has ...
On Oct. 29, the company reported that revenue fell 10.5% year over year to $196.6 million in the most recent quarter. Net losses narrowed to $16.1 million, compared to a $23.7 million loss last year.
Flight-time equivalent dose (FED) is an informal unit of measurement of ionizing radiation exposure. Expressed in units of flight-time (i.e., flight-seconds, flight-minutes, flight-hours), one unit of flight-time is approximately equivalent to the radiological dose received during the same unit of time spent in an airliner at cruising altitude.
