The poise (symbol P; / p ɔɪ z, p w ɑː z /) is the unit of dynamic viscosity (absolute viscosity) in the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). [1] It is named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille (see Hagen–Poiseuille equation). The centipoise (1 cP = 0.01 P) is more commonly used than the poise itself.
Gracefulness, or being graceful, is the physical characteristic of displaying "pretty agility", in the form of elegant movement, poise, or balance. The etymological root of grace is the Latin word gratia from gratus, meaning pleasing. [1] Gracefulness has been described by reference to its being aesthetically pleasing. For example:
The CGS unit is the poise (P, or g·cm −1 ·s −1 = 0.1 Pa·s), [28] named after Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille. It is commonly expressed, particularly in ASTM standards, as centipoise (cP). The centipoise is convenient because the viscosity of water at 20 °C is about 1 cP, and one centipoise is equal to the SI millipascal second (mPa·s).
The term "ordo amoris," first coined by ancient bishop and theologian St. Augustine in his work, "City of God," has been translated to mean "order of love" or "order of charity."
The poiseuille (symbol Pl) has been proposed as a derived SI unit of dynamic viscosity, [1] named after the French physicist Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille (1797–1869).. In practice the unit has never been widely accepted and most international standards bodies do not include the poiseuille in their list of units.
The units first became used by wool traders in the Kingdom of England and the Low Countries during the end of the High Middle Ages, as population growth and the Renaissance gave rise to an increasingly numerous town population and a newly established middle class.
Seed oils, including peanut oil and sunflower oil, have been in the news a lot recently. Dietitians explain if seed oils are healthy, and health risks of them.
