  2. Counts per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counts_per_minute

    One becquerel (Bq) is equal to one disintegration per second; 1 becquerel (Bq) is equal to 60 dpm. [4] One curie (Ci) an old non-SI unit is equal to 3.7 × 10 10 Bq or dps, which is equal to 2.22 × 10 12 dpm. [5]

  3. Banana equivalent dose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose

    A banana contains naturally occurring radioactive material in the form of potassium-40.. Banana equivalent dose (BED) is an informal unit of measurement of ionizing radiation exposure, intended as a general educational example to compare a dose of radioactivity to the dose one is exposed to by eating one average-sized banana.

    In either case, it calls group 9 to update the velocity and position. It then loops over groups 7, 8 and 9 until the value of I converges. When the 10-second timer runs out, or it reaches the end due to the fuel test in line 03.10 or the altitude test in 07.10. In the latter cases, it will jump to group 4 and fall through to group 5, or jump to ...

    How much does the test cost? The Galleri test — which isn’t covered by insurance — doesn’t come cheap. At $949 a pop, it’s out of the price range of most people.

    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]

  7. Rate of fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_fire

    Another factor influencing rate of fire is the supply of ammunition. At 50 rps (3,000 rpm), a five-second burst from an M134 Minigun would use approximately 6.3 kilograms (14 lb) of 7.62 mm ammunition; this alone would make it an impractical weapon for infantry who have to carry a reasonable supply of ammunition with them. For this and other ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_capability_index

    Process fallout quantifies how many defects a process produces and is measured by DPMO or PPM. Process yield is the complement of process fallout and is approximately equal to the area under the probability density function Φ ( σ ) = 1 2 π ∫ − σ σ e − t 2 / 2 d t {\displaystyle \Phi (\sigma )={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2\pi }}}\int _{-\sigma ...

  9. Saybolt universal viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saybolt_universal_viscosity

    The test results are specified in seconds (s), more often than not referencing the test: Saybolt universal seconds (SUS); seconds, Saybolt universal (SSU); seconds, Saybolt universal viscosity (SSUV); and Saybolt FUROL seconds (SFS); seconds, Saybolt FUROL (SSF). The precise temperature at which the test is performed is often specified as well.
