Units A description of the standardized measurementincrements in which a value is specified. The description is represented asa mathematical phrase. Units should be represented by widely acceptedrepresentat ion. For example, units should conform to the InternationalSystem of Units (SI) which is maintained by BIPM (Bureau International desPoids et Mesures (see ) when appropriate or usetokens like "Re" to represent units of the Radius of the Earth. Within aphrase the circumflex (^) is used to indicate a power, a star (*) is used toindicate multiplication and a slash (/) division. When symbols are notseparated by a mathematical operator, multiplication is assumed. Symbols forbase units can be found at: and thosefor common derived units can be found at: Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
UnitsConversion The multiplicative factor for converting aunit into International System of Units (SI) units. The factor is expressedin the form "number > x", where "number" is a numerical value and "x" isthe appropr iate SI units. The basic SI units are Enumerated: m (meter), N(newton), kg (kilogram), Pa (pascal), s (second), Hz (hertz), A (ampere), V(volt), K (kelvin), W (watt), rad (radian), J (joule), sr (steradian), C(coulomb), T (tesla), ohm (ohm), mho (mho or seimens), H (henry), and F(farad). Two useful units which are not SI units are: degree (angle), andunitless (no units). An example is: "1.0E-9>T" which converts the units,presumable nT, to Tesla. Another example is: "1.0e+3>m/s" which convertsa velocity expressed in kilometers per second to meters per second. Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16
unity condition A logical test that distinguishes “the parts of an instance from the rest of the world by means of a unifying relation that binds them together (not involving anything else). (Guarino and Welty, 2000, p. 98) Stephen Richard 2023.03.27
