unit:A
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/A
The \(\textit{ampere}\), often shortened to \(\textit{amp}\), is the SI unit of electric current and is one of the seven SI base units. \(\text{A}\ \equiv\ \text{amp (or ampere)}\ \equiv\ \frac{\text{C}}{\text{s}}\ \equiv\ \frac{\text{coulomb}}{\text{second}}\ \equiv\ \frac{\text{J}}{\text{Wb}}\ \equiv\ \frac{\text{joule}}{\text{weber}}\) Note that SI supports only the use of symbols and deprecates the use of any abbreviations for units.
unit:A-HR
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/A-HR
\(\textbf{Ampere hour}\) is a practical unit of electric charge equal to the charge flowing in one hour through a conductor passing one ampere. An ampere-hour or amp-hour (symbol \(Ah,\,AHr,\, A \cdot h, A h\)) is a unit of electric charge, with sub-units milliampere-hour (\(mAh\)) and milliampere second (\(mAs\)). One ampere-hour is equal to 3600 coulombs (ampere-seconds), the electric charge transferred by a steady current of one ampere for one hour. The ampere-hour is frequently used in measurements of electrochemical systems such as electroplating and electrical batteries. The commonly seen milliampere-hour (\(mAh\) or \(mA \cdot h\)) is one-thousandth of an ampere-hour (\(3.6 \,coulombs\)).

unit:AC
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/AC
The acre is a unit of area in a number of different systems, including the imperial and U.S. customary systems. Its international symbol is ac. The most commonly used acres today are the international acre and, in the United States, the survey acre. The most common use of the acre is to measure tracts of land. One international acre is equal to 4046.8564224 square metres.

URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/AC-FT
An acre-foot is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States in reference to large-scale water resources, such as reservoirs, aqueducts, canals, sewer flow capacity, and river flows. It is defined by the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot. Since the acre is defined as a chain by a furlong (\(66 ft \times 660 ft\)) the acre-foot is exactly \(43,560 cubic feet\). For irrigation water, the volume of \(1 ft \times 1 \; ac = 43,560 \; ft^{3} (1,233.482 \; m^{3}, 325,851 \; US gal)\).
unit:AMU

The \(Angstr\ddot{o}m\) is an internationally recognized unit of length equal to \(0.1 \,nanometre\) or \(1 \times 10^{-10}\,metres\). Although accepted for use, it is not formally defined within the International System of Units(SI). The angstrom is often used in the natural sciences to express the sizes of atoms, lengths of chemical bonds and the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, and in technology for the dimensions of parts of integrated circuits. It is also commonly used in structural biology.
unit:ANGSTROM3
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/ANGSTROM3
A unit that is a non-SI unit, specifically a CGS unit, of polarizability known informally as polarizability volume. The SI defined units for polarizability are C*m^2/V and can be converted to \(Angstr\ddot{o}m\)^3 by multiplying the SI value by 4 times pi times the vacuum permittivity and then converting the resulting m^3 to \(Angstr\ddot{o}m\)^3 through the SI base 10 conversion (multiplying by 10^-30).
unit:ARCMIN
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/ARCMIN
A minute of arc, arcminute, or minute arc (MOA), is a unit of angular measurement equal to one sixtieth (1/60) of one degree (circle/21,600), or \(\pi /10,800 radians\). In turn, a second of arc or arcsecond is one sixtieth (1/60) of one minute of arc. Since one degree is defined as one three hundred and sixtieth (1/360) of a rotation, one minute of arc is 1/21,600 of a rotation.
unit:ARCSEC
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/ARCSEC
"Arc Second" is a unit of angular measure, also called the \(\textit{second of arc}\), equal to \(1/60 \; arcminute\). One arcsecond is a very small angle: there are 1,296,000 in a circle. The SI recommends \(\textit{double prime}\) (\(''\)) as the symbol for the arcsecond. The symbol has become common in astronomy, where very small angles are stated in milliarcseconds (\(mas\)).

URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/ARE
An 'are' is a unit of area equal to 0.02471 acre and 100 centare.
unit:AT
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/AT
The \(\textit{ampere-turn}\) was the MKS unit of magnetomotive force (MMF), represented by a direct current of one ampere flowing in a single-turn loop in a vacuum. "Turns" refers to the winding number of an electrical conductor comprising an inductor. The ampere-turn was replaced by the SI unit, \(ampere\).
unit:AT-PER-IN
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/AT-PER-IN
The \(\textit{Ampere Turn per Inch}\) is a measure of magnetic field intensity and is eual to 12.5664 Oersted.
unit:AT-PER-M

The \(\textit{Ampere Turn per Metre}\) is the SI unit of magnetic field strength. One ampere per meter is equal to \(\pi/250\) oersteds (12.566 371 millioersteds) in CGS units. The ampere per meter is also the SI unit of "magnetization" in the sense of magnetic dipole moment per unit volume; in this context \(1 A/m = 0.001 emu per cubic centimeter\).
unit:ATM
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/ATM
The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is an international reference pressure defined as \(101.325 \,kPa\) and formerly used as unit of pressure. For practical purposes it has been replaced by the bar which is \(100 kPa\). The difference of about 1% is not significant for many applications, and is within the error range of common pressure gauges.
unit:ATM-M3-PER-MOL
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/ATM-M3-PER-MOL
A unit that consists of the power of the SI base unit metre with the exponent 3 multiplied by the unit atmosphere divided by the SI base unit mol.
unit:ATM_T
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/ATM_T
A technical atmosphere (symbol: at) is a non-SI unit of pressure equal to one kilogram-force per square centimeter. The symbol 'at' clashes with that of the katal (symbol: 'kat'), the SI unit of catalytic activity; a kilotechnical atmosphere would have the symbol 'kat', indistinguishable from the symbol for the katal. It also clashes with that of the non-SI unit, the attotonne, but that unit would be more likely be rendered as the equivalent SI unit. Assay ton (abbreviation 'AT') is not a unit of measurement, but a standard quantity used in assaying ores of precious metals; it is \(29 1D6 \,grams\) (short assay ton) or \(32 2D3 \,grams\) (long assay ton), the amount which bears the same ratio to a milligram as a short or long ton bears to a troy ounce. In other words, the number of milligrams of a particular metal found in a sample of this size gives the number of troy ounces contained in a short or long ton of ore.
unit:AU
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/AU
An astronomical unit (abbreviated as AU, au, a.u., or ua) is a unit of length equal to \(149,597,870,700 metres\) (\(92,955,807.273 mi\)) or approximately the mean Earth Sun distance.

unit:BAR
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/BAR
The bar is a non-SI unit of pressure, defined by the IUPAC as exactly equal to \(100,000\,Pa\). It is about equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level, and since 1982 the IUPAC has recommended that the standard for atmospheric pressure should be harmonized to \(100,000\,Pa = 1 \,bar \approx 750.0616827\, Torr\). Units derived from the bar are the megabar (symbol: Mbar), kilobar (symbol: kbar), decibar (symbol: dbar), centibar (symbol: cbar), and millibar (symbol: mbar or mb). They are not SI or cgs units, but they are accepted for use with the SI.
unit:BARAD
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/BARAD
A barad is a dyne per square centimetre (\(dyn \cdot cm^{-2}\)), and is equal to \(0.1 Pa \) (\(1 \, micro \, bar\), \(0.000014504 \, p.s.i.\)). Note that this is precisely the microbar, the confusable bar being related in size to the normal atmospheric pressure, at \(100\,dyn \cdot cm^{-2}\). Accordingly barad was not abbreviated, so occurs prefixed as in \(cbarad = centibarad\). Despite being the coherent unit for pressure in c.g.s., barad was probably much less common than the non-coherent bar. Barad is sometimes called \(barye\), a name also used for \(bar\).
unit:BARN
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/BARN
A barn (symbol b) is a unit of area. Originally used in nuclear physics for expressing the cross sectional area of nuclei and nuclear reactions, today it is used in all fields of high energy physics to express the cross sections of any scattering process, and is best understood as a measure of the probability of interaction between small particles. A barn is defined as \(10^{28} m^2 (100 fm^2)\) and is approximately the cross sectional area of a uranium nucleus. The barn is also the unit of area used in nuclear quadrupole resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance to quantify the interaction of a nucleus with an electric field gradient. While the barn is not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with the SI due to its continued use in particle physics.

It is called after a French physicist, astronomer, and mathematician Jean-Baptiste Biot. One abampere is equal to ten amperes in the SI system of units. One abampere is the current, which produces a force of 2 dyne/cm between two infinitively long parallel wires that are 1 cm apart.
unit:BIT
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/BIT
In information theory, a bit is the amount of information that, on average, can be stored in a discrete bit. It is thus the amount of information carried by a choice between two equally likely outcomes. One bit corresponds to about 0.693 nats (ln(2)), or 0.301 hartleys (log10(2)).
unit:BIT-PER-SEC

unit:BQ
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/BQ
The SI derived unit of activity, usually meaning radioactivity. "Radioactivity" is caused when atoms disintegrate, ejecting energetic particles. One becquerel is the radiation caused by one disintegration per second; this is equivalent to about 27.0270 picocuries (pCi). The unit is named for a French physicist, Antoine-Henri Becquerel (1852-1908), the discoverer of radioactivity. Note: both the becquerel and the hertz are basically defined as one event per second, yet they measure different things. The hertz is used to measure the rates of events that happen periodically in a fixed and definite cycle. The becquerel is used to measure the rates of events that happen sporadically and unpredictably, not in a definite cycle.

The length of time which passes between a given fixed star in the sky crossing a given projected meridian (line of longitude). The sidereal day is \(23 h 56 m 4.1 s\), slightly shorter than the solar day because the Earth 's orbital motion about the Sun means the Earth has to rotate slightly more than one turn with respect to the "fixed" stars in order to reach the same Earth-Sun orientation. Another way of thinking about the difference is that it amounts to \(1/365.2425^{th}\) of a day per day, since even if the Earth did not spin on its axis at all, the Sun would appear to make one rotation around the Earth as the Earth completed a single orbit (which takes one year).

A square degree is a non-SI unit measure of solid angle. It is denoted in various ways, including deg, sq. deg. and \(\circ^2\). Just as degrees are used to measure parts of a circle, square degrees are used to measure parts of a sphere. Analogous to one degree being equal to \(\pi /180 radians\), a square degree is equal to (\(\pi /180)\) or about 1/3283 steradian. The number of square degrees in a whole sphere is or approximately 41 253 deg. This is the total area of the 88 constellations in the list of constellations by area. For example, observed from the surface of the Earth, the Moon has a diameter of approximately \(0.5^\circ\), so it covers a solid angle of approximately 0.196 deg, which is \(4.8 \times 10\) of the total sky sphere.

unit:DeciB
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/DeciB
A customary logarithmic measure most commonly used (in various ways) for measuring sound.Sound is measured on a logarithmic scale. Informally, if one sound is \(1\,bel\) (10 decibels) "louder" than another, this means the louder sound is 10 times louder than the fainter one. A difference of 20 decibels corresponds to an increase of 10 x 10 or 100 times in intensity. The beginning of the scale, 0 decibels, can be set in different ways, depending on exactly the aspect of sound being measured. For sound intensity (the power of the sound waves per unit of area) \(0\,decibel\) is equal to \(1\,picoWatts\,per\,Metre\,Squared\). This corresponds approximately to the faintest sound that can be detected by a person who has good hearing. For sound pressure (the pressure exerted by the sound waves) 0 decibels equals \(20\,micropascals\,RMS\), and for sound power \(0\,decibels\) sometimes equals \(1\,picoWatt\). In all cases, one decibel equals \(\approx\,0.115129\,neper\).

Denier or den is a unit of measure for the linear mass density of fibers. It is defined as the mass in grams per 9,000 meters. In the International System of Units the tex is used instead (see below). The denier is based on a natural standard: a single strand of silk is approximately one denier. A 9,000-meter strand of silk weighs about one gram. The term denier is from the French denier, a coin of small value (worth 1/12 of a sou). Applied to yarn, a denier was held to be equal in weight to 1/24 of an ounce. The term microdenier is used to describe filaments that weigh less than one gram per 9,000 meter length.

unit:FARAD
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/FARAD
The SI unit of electric capacitance. Very early in the study of electricity scientists discovered that a pair of conductors separated by an insulator can store a much larger charge than an isolated conductor can store. The better the insulator, the larger the charge that the conductors can hold. This property of a circuit is called capacitance, and it is measured in farads. One farad is defined as the ability to store one coulomb of charge per volt of potential difference between the two conductors. This is a natural definition, but the unit it defines is very large. In practical circuits, capacitance is often measured in microfarads, nanofarads, or sometimes even in picofarads (10-12 farad, or trillionths of a farad). The unit is named for the British physicist Michael Faraday (1791-1867), who was known for his work in electricity and electrochemistry.

A unit of mass in the metric system. The name comes from the Greek gramma, a small weight identified in later Roman and Byzantine times with the Latin scripulum or scruple (the English scruple is equal to about 1.3 grams). The gram was originally defined to be the mass of one cubic centimeter of pure water, but to provide precise standards it was necessary to construct physical objects of specified mass. One gram is now defined to be 1/1000 of the mass of the standard kilogram, a platinum-iridium bar carefully guarded by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Paris for more than a century. (The kilogram, rather than the gram, is considered the base unit of mass in the SI.) The gram is a small mass, equal to about 15.432 grains or 0.035 273 966 ounce.

A grain is a unit of measurement of mass that is nominally based upon the mass of a single seed of a cereal. The grain is the only unit of mass measure common to the three traditional English mass and weight systems; the obsolete Tower grain was, by definition, exactly /64 of a troy grain. Since 1958, the grain or troy grain measure has been defined in terms of units of mass in the International System of Units as precisely 64.79891 milligrams. Thus, \(1 gram \approx 15.4323584 grains\). There are precisely 7,000 grains per avoirdupois pound in the imperial and U.S. customary units, and 5,760 grains in the Troy pound.

The gauss, abbreviated as \(G\), is the cgs unit of measurement of a magnetic field \(B\), which is also known as the "magnetic flux density" or the "magnetic induction". One gauss is defined as one maxwell per square centimeter; it equals \(10^{-4} tesla\) (or \(100 micro T\)). The Gauss is identical to maxwells per square centimetre; technically defined in a three-dimensional system, it corresponds in the SI, with its extra base unit the ampere. The gauss is quite small by earthly standards, 1 Gs being only about four times Earth's flux density, but it is subdivided, with \(1 gauss = 105 gamma\). This unit of magnetic induction is also known as the \(\textit{abtesla}\).
unit:H
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/H
The SI unit of electric inductance. A changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a loop of wire (or in a coil of many loops) located in the field. Although the induced voltage depends only on the rate at which the magnetic flux changes, measured in webers per second, the amount of the current depends also on the physical properties of the coil. A coil with an inductance of one henry requires a flux of one weber for each ampere of induced current. If, on the other hand, it is the current which changes, then the induced field will generate a potential difference within the coil: if the inductance is one henry a current change of one ampere per second generates a potential difference of one volt. The henry is a large unit; inductances in practical circuits are measured in millihenrys (mH) or microhenrys (u03bc H). The unit is named for the American physicist Joseph Henry (1797-1878), one of several scientists who discovered independently how magnetic fields can be used to generate alternating currents. \(\text{H} \; \equiv \; \text{henry}\; \equiv\; \frac{\text{Wb}}{\text{A}}\; \equiv\; \frac{\text{weber}}{\text{amp}}\; \equiv\ \frac{\text{V}\cdot\text{s}}{\text{A}}\; \equiv\; \frac{\text{volt} \cdot \text{second}}{\text{amp}}\; \equiv\ \Omega\cdot\text{s}\; \equiv\; \text{ohm.second}\)

unit:HR_Sidereal
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/HR_Sidereal
Sidereal time is a time-keeping system astronomers use to keep track of the direction to point their telescopes to view a given star in the night sky. A mean sidereal day is about 23 h 56 m 4.1 s in length. However, due to variations in the rotation rate of the Earth, the rate of an ideal sidereal clock deviates from any simple multiple of a civil clock. In practice, the difference is kept track of by the difference UTC-UT1, which is measured by radio telescopes and kept on file and available to the public at the IERS and at the United States Naval Observatory. A Sidereal Hour is \(1/24^{th}\) of a Sidereal Day. A mean sidereal day is 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.0916 seconds (23.9344699 hours or 0.99726958 mean solar days), the time it takes Earth to make one rotation relative to the vernal equinox. (Due to nutation, an actual sidereal day is not quite so constant.) The vernal equinox itself precesses slowly westward relative to the fixed stars, completing one revolution in about 26,000 years, so the misnamed sidereal day ("sidereal" is derived from the Latin sidus meaning "star") is 0.0084 seconds shorter than Earth's period of rotation relative to the fixed stars.

Depending on the footage (octave) selected, nominally one volt gives 1000Hz, two volts 2000Hz and so on. In terms of notes, bottom C would be 0.25 volts, the next C up would be 0.5 volts, then 1V, 2V, 4V, 8V for the following octaves. This system was used mainly by Yamaha and Korg.

The joule per mole (symbol: \(J\cdot mol^{-1}\)) is an SI derived unit of energy per amount of material. Energy is measured in joules, and the amount of material is measured in moles. Physical quantities measured in \(J\cdot mol^{-1}\)) usually describe quantities of energy transferred during phase transformations or chemical reactions. Division by the number of moles facilitates comparison between processes involving different quantities of material and between similar processes involving different types of materials. The meaning of such a quantity is always context-dependent and, particularly for chemical reactions, is dependent on the (possibly arbitrary) definition of a 'mole' for a particular process.

The magnetic moment of a magnet is a quantity that determines the force that the magnet can exert on electric currents and the torque that a magnetic field will exert on it. A loop of electric current, a bar magnet, an electron, a molecule, and a planet all have magnetic moments. The unit for magnetic moment is not a base unit in the International System of Units (SI) and it can be represented in more than one way. For example, in the current loop definition, the area is measured in square meters and I is measured in amperes, so the magnetic moment is measured in ampere-square meters (A m2). In the equation for torque on a moment, the torque is measured in joules and the magnetic field in tesla, so the moment is measured in Joules per Tesla (J u00b7T-1). These two representations are equivalent: 1 A u00b7m2 = 1 J u00b7T-1.

unit:KN
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/KN
The knot (pronounced 'not') is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile (1.852 km) per hour, approximately 1.151 mph. The abbreviation \(kn\) is preferred by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), which includes every major sea-faring nation; however, the abbreviations kt (singular) and kts (plural) are also widely used. However, use of the abbreviation kt for knot conflicts with the SI symbol for kilotonne. The knot is a non-SI unit accepted for use with the International System of Units (SI). Worldwide, the knot is used in meteorology, and in maritime and air navigation - for example, a vessel travelling at 1 knot along a meridian travels one minute of geographic latitude in one hour. Etymologically, the term knot derives from counting the number of knots in the line that unspooled from the reel of a chip log in a specific time.

unit:MIL_Circ
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/MIL_Circ
A circular mil is a unit of area, equal to the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil (one thousandth of an inch). It is a convenient unit for referring to the area of a wire with a circular cross section, because the area in circular mils can be calculated without reference to pi (\(\pi\)). The area in circular mils, A, of a circle with a diameter of d mils, is given by the formula: Electricians in Canada and the United States are familiar with the circular mil because the National Electrical Code (NEC) uses the circular mil to define wire sizes larger than 0000 AWG. In many NEC publications and uses, large wires may be expressed in thousands of circular mils, which is abbreviated in two different ways: MCM or kcmil. For example, one common wire size used in the NEC has a cross-section of 250,000 circular mils, written as 250 kcmil or 250 MCM, which is the first size larger than 0000 AWG used within the NEC.

A minute is a unit of measurement of time. The minute is a unit of time equal to 1/60 (the first sexagesimal fraction of an hour or 60 seconds. In the UTC time scale, a minute on rare occasions has 59 or 61 seconds; see leap second. The minute is not an SI unit; however, it is accepted for use with SI units. The SI symbol for minute or minutes is min (for time measurement) or the prime symbol after a number, e.g. 5' (for angle measurement, even if it is informally used for time).
unit:MIN_Sidereal
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/MIN_Sidereal
Sidereal time is a time-keeping system astronomers use to keep track of the direction to point their telescopes to view a given star in the night sky. A mean sidereal day is about \(23 h 56 m 4.1 s\) in length. However, due to variations in the rotation rate of the Earth, the rate of an ideal sidereal clock deviates from any simple multiple of a civil clock. In practice, the difference is kept track of by the difference UTC-UT1, which is measured by radio telescopes and kept on file and available to the public at the IERS and at the United States Naval Observatory. A Sidereal Minute is \(1/60^{th}\) of a Sidereal Hour, which is \(1/24^{th}\) of a Sidereal Day.
unit:MI_N
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/MI_N
A unit of distance used primarily at sea and in aviation. The nautical mile is defined to be the average distance on the Earth's surface represented by one minute of latitude. In 1929 an international conference in Monaco redefined the nautical mile to be exactly 1852 meters or 6076.115 49 feet, a distance known as the international nautical mile. The international nautical mile equals about 1.1508 statute miles. There are usually 3 nautical miles in a league. The unit is designed to equal 1/60 degree, although actual degrees of latitude vary from about 59.7 to 60.3 nautical miles. (Note: using data from the Geodetic Reference System 1980, the "true" length of a nautical mile would be 1852.216 meters.)

unit:MOL
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/MOL
The mole is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to express amounts of a chemical substance. The official definition, adopted as part of the SI system in 1971, is that one mole of a substance contains just as many elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, or other kinds of particles) as there are atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12 (carbon-12 is the most common atomic form of carbon, consisting of atoms having 6 protons and 6 neutrons). This corresponds to a value of \(6.02214179(30) \times 1023\) elementary entities of the substance. It is one of the base units in the International System of Units, and has the unit symbol \(mol\). A Mole is the SI base unit of the amount of a substance (as distinct from its mass or weight). Moles measure the actual number of atoms or molecules in an object. An earlier name is gram molecular weight, because one mole of a chemical compound is the same number of grams as the molecular weight of a molecule of that compound measured in atomic mass units.

unit:PERMEABILITY_REL
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/PERMEABILITY_REL
In multiphase flow in porous media, the relative permeability of a phase is a dimensionless measure of the effective permeability of that phase. It is the ratio of the effective permeability of that phase to the absolute permeability. It can be viewed as an adaptation of Darcy's law to multiphase flow. For two-phase flow in porous media given steady-state conditions, we can write where is the flux, is the pressure drop, is the viscosity.
unit:PERMITTIVITY_REL
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/PERMITTIVITY_REL
The \(\textit{relative permittivity}\) of a material under given conditions reflects the extent to which it concentrates electrostatic lines of flux. In technical terms, it is the ratio of the amount of electrical energy stored in a material by an applied voltage, relative to that stored in a vacuum. Likewise, it is also the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor using that material as a dielectric, compared to a similar capacitor that has a vacuum as its dielectric. Relative permittivity is a dimensionless number that is in general complex. The imaginary portion of the permittivity corresponds to a phase shift of the polarization P relative to E and leads to the attenuation of electromagnetic waves passing through the medium.
\(\epsilon_r(w) = \frac{\epsilon(w)}{\epsilon_O}\)\ where \(\epsilon_r(w)\) is the complex frequency-dependent absolute permittivity of the material, and \(\epsilon_O\) is the vacuum permittivity.

\(\textbf{Siemens}\) is the SI unit of electric conductance, susceptance, and admittance. The most important property of a conductor is the amount of current it will carry when a voltage is applied. Current flow is opposed by resistance in all circuits, and by also by reactance and impedance in alternating current circuits. Conductance, susceptance, and admittance are the inverses of resistance, reactance, and impedance, respectively. To measure these properties, the siemens is the reciprocal of the ohm. In other words, the conductance, susceptance, or admittance, in siemens, is simply 1 divided by the resistance, reactance or impedance, respectively, in ohms. The unit is named for the German electrical engineer Werner von Siemens (1816-1892). \(\ \text{Siemens}\equiv\frac{\text{A}}{\text{V}}\equiv\frac{\text{amp}}{\text{volt}}\equiv\frac{\text{F}}{\text {s}}\equiv\frac{\text{farad}}{\text{second}}\)

The astronomical unit of mass is the solar mass.The symbol \(S\) is often used in astronomy to refer to this unit, although \(M_{\odot}\) is also common. The solar mass, \(1.98892 \time 1030 kg\), is a standard way to express mass in astronomy, used to describe the masses of other stars and galaxies. It is equal to the mass of the Sun, about 333,000 times the mass of the Earth or 1,048 times the mass of Jupiter. In practice, the masses of celestial bodies appear in the dynamics of the solar system only through the products GM, where G is the constant of gravitation.

unit:T
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/T
The SI unit of flux density (or field intensity) for magnetic fields (also called the magnetic induction). The intensity of a magnetic field can be measured by placing a current-carrying conductor in the field. The magnetic field exerts a force on the conductor, a force which depends on the amount of the current and on the length of the conductor. One tesla is defined as the field intensity generating one newton of force per ampere of current per meter of conductor. Equivalently, one tesla represents a magnetic flux density of one weber per square meter of area. A field of one tesla is quite strong: the strongest fields available in laboratories are about 20 teslas, and the Earth's magnetic flux density, at its surface, is about 50 microteslas. The tesla, defined in 1958, honors the Serbian-American electrical engineer Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), whose work in electromagnetic induction led to the first practical generators and motors using alternating current. \(T = V\cdot s \cdot m^{-2} = N\cdot A^{-1}\cdot m^{-1} = Wb\cdot m^{-1} = kg \cdot C^{-1}\cdot s^{-1}\cdot A^{-1} = kg \cdot s^{-2}\cdot A^{-1} = N \cdot s \cdot C^{-1}\cdot m^{-1}\) where, \(\\\) \(A\) = ampere, \(C\)=coulomb, \(m\) = meter, \(N\) = newton, \(s\) = second, \(T\) = tesla, \(Wb\) = weber

In the US and parts of Canada, a tablespoon is the largest type of spoon used for eating from a bowl. In the UK and most Commonwealth countries, a tablespoon is a type of large spoon usually used for serving. In countries where a tablespoon is a serving spoon, the nearest equivalent to the US tablespoon is either the dessert spoon or the soup spoon. A tablespoonful, nominally the capacity of one tablespoon, is commonly used as a measure of volume in cooking. It is abbreviated as T, tb, tbs, tbsp, tblsp, or tblspn. The capacity of ordinary tablespoons is not regulated by law and is subject to considerable variation. In most countries one level tablespoon is approximately 15 mL; in Australia it is 20 mL.

\textit{Tex is a unit of measure for the linear mass density of fibers and is defined as the mass in grams per 1000 meters. Tex is more likely to be used in Canada and Continental Europe, while denier remains more common in the United States and United Kingdom. The unit code is 'tex'. The most commonly used unit is actually the decitex, abbreviated dtex, which is the mass in grams per 10,000 meters. When measuring objects that consist of multiple fibers the term 'filament tex' is sometimes used, referring to the mass in grams per 1000 meters of a single filament. Tex is used for measuring fiber size in many products, including cigarette filters, optical cable, yarn, and fabric.}

The tonne of oil equivalent (toe) is a unit of energy: the amount of energy released by burning one tonne of crude oil, approximately 42 GJ (as different crude oils have different calorific values, the exact value of the toe is defined by convention; unfortunately there are several slightly different definitions as discussed below). The toe is sometimes used for large amounts of energy, as it can be more intuitive to visualise, say, the energy released by burning 1000 tonnes of oil than 42,000 billion joules (the SI unit of energy). Multiples of the toe are used, in particular the megatoe (Mtoe, one million toe) and the gigatoe (Gtoe, one billion toe).

unit:TORR
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/TORR
The \textit{torr} is a non-SI unit of pressure with the ratio of 760 to 1 standard atmosphere, chosen to be roughly equal to the fluid pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury, i.e. , a pressure of 1 torr is approximately equal to one millimeter of mercury. Note that the symbol (Torr) is spelled exactly the same as the unit (torr), but the letter case differs. The unit is written lower-case, while the symbol of the unit (Torr) is capitalized (as upper-case), as is customary in metric units derived from names. Thus, it is correctly written either way, and is only incorrect when specification is first made that the word is being used as a unit, or else a symbol of the unit, and then the incorrect letter case for the specified use is employed.

\(\textit{Volt} is the SI unit of electric potential. Separating electric charges creates potential energy, which can be measured in energy units such as joules. Electric potential is defined as the amount of potential energy present per unit of charge. Electric potential is measured in volts, with one volt representing a potential of one joule per coulomb of charge. The name of the unit honors the Italian scientist Count Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), the inventor of the first battery. The volt also may be expressed with a variety of other units. For example, a volt is also equal to one watt per ampere (W/A) and one joule per ampere per second (J/A/s).\)

unit:V_Stat
URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/V_Stat
"statvolt" is a unit of voltage and electrical potential used in the cgs system of units. The conversion to the SI system is \(1 statvolt = 299.792458 volts\). The conversion factor 299.792458 is simply the numerical value of the speed of light in m/s divided by 106. The statvolt is also defined in the cgs system as \(1 erg / esu\). It is a useful unit for electromagnetism because one statvolt per centimetre is equal in magnitude to one gauss. Thus, for example, an electric field of one statvolt/cm has the same energy density as a magnetic field of one gauss. Likewise, a plane wave propagating in a vacuum has perpendicular electric and magnetic fields such that for every gauss of magnetic field intensity there is one statvolt/cm of electric field intensity. The abvolt is another option for a unit of voltage in the cgs system.

URI: http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/YR_TROPICAL
A tropical year (also known as a solar year), for general purposes, is the length of time that the Sun takes to return to the same position in the cycle of seasons, as seen from Earth; for example, the time from vernal equinox to vernal equinox, or from summer solstice to summer solstice. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, the seasonal cycle does not remain exactly synchronised with the position of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. As a consequence, the tropical year is about 20 minutes shorter than the time it takes Earth to complete one full orbit around the Sun as measured with respect to the fixed stars. Since antiquity, astronomers have progressively refined the definition of the tropical year, and currently define it as the time required for the mean Sun's tropical longitude (longitudinal position along the ecliptic relative to its position at the vernal equinox) to increase by 360 degrees (that is, to complete one full seasonal circuit).
