The unit of TT is the SI second, the definition of which is currently based on the caesium atomic clock, but TT is not itself defined by atomic clocks.

It was designed for continuity with ET, and it runs at the rate of the SI second, which was itself derived from a calibration using the second of ET ( see, under Ephemeris time, Redefinition of the second and Implementations.

The SI rejected all art that separated itself from politics, the concept of 20th century art that is separated from topical political events.

The SI noted how reactionary forces forbid subversive ideas from artists and intellectuals to reach the public discourse, and how they attack the artworks that express comprehensive critique of society, by saying that art should not involve itself into politics.

The SI thus were first led to distinguish the situation from the mere artistic practice of the happening, and later identified it in historical events such as the Paris Commune in which it exhibited itself as the revolutionary moment.

Originally defined as " the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre, and at the temperature of melting ice " ( later 4 ° C ), a gram is now defined as one one-thousandth of the SI base unit, the kilogram, or 1 × 10 < sup >− 3 </ sup > kg, which itself is defined as being equal to the mass of a physical prototype preserved by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

Do Not Lean Out, Nash, with Ansgar Elde and Jacqueline de Jong, stated that although there may be grounds to criticise the Spur group ( Ervin Eisch, Lothar Fischer, Dieter Kunzelmann, Renee Nele, Heimrad Prem, Gretel Stadler, Helmut Sturm and Hand-Peter Zimmer ), the way they had been expelled, and the SI itself, were totalitarian.

The method is similar to SI, except that the reference pulse is a spectrally shifted replica of itself, allowing one to obtain the spectral intensity and phase of the probe pulse via a direct FFT filtering routine similar to SI, but which requires integration of the phase extracted from the interferogram to obtain the probe pulse phase.

The rights to the Sylvania name in many countries are held by the U. S. subsidiary of the German company Osram which, itself, is a subsidiary of Siemens AG ( NYSE: SI ).

The International System of Units does not define units for digital information but notes that the SI prefixes may be applied outside the contexts where base units or derived units would be used.

In scientific contexts the Btu has largely been replaced by the SI unit of energy, the joule, though it may be used as a measure of agricultural energy production ( Btu / kg ).

Any consistent set of units may be used, although SI units are preferred.

The SI symbol for the newton metre is N m ( with a space ) or N · m, not nm, because only prefixes may abut a unit symbol.

While pressure may be measured in any unit of force divided by any unit of area, the SI unit of pressure ( the newton per square metre ) is called the pascal ( Pa ) after the seventeenth-century philosopher and scientist Blaise Pascal.

Though SI prefixes may also be used to form multiples of the second such as kilosecond ( one thousand seconds ), such units are rarely used in practice.

For specialized purposes, a second may be used as a unit of time in time scales where the precise length differs slightly from the SI definition.

This is an example of the confusion caused by the use of traditional units that may be avoided with SI units because of the careful distinction in SI between force ( in newtons ) and mass ( in kilograms ).

First, upon graduation, the candidate may be eligible to take the Fundamentals of Surveying ( FS ) exam, to be certified upon passing and meeting all other requirements as a surveying intern ( SI ),( formerly surveyor in training ( SIT )).

The SI unit of angular velocity is radians per second, although it may be measured in other units such as degrees per second, degrees per hour, etc.

It may therefore be assumed that the relationship between the Israelite measurements and SI units is the same as the relationship between the Babylonian system and SI Units.

The square metre may be used with all SI prefixes used with the meter.

Therefore the space is recommended in the SI / ISO 31-0 standard, and the International Bureau of Weights and Measures states that " for numbers with many digits the digits may be divided into groups of three by a thin space, in order to facilitate reading.

The BBC had suggested that as an alternative to the SI compression scheme, the Freeview HD multiplex may have to adopt encryption.

When it is necessary to emphasize which system is used, the words " market " ( 市 shì ) for traditional units or " common / standard " ( 公 gōng ) for SI units may be added in front of the name.

So, for example, The Income Tax ( Exemption of Minor Benefits ) ( Amendment ) Regulations 2003 are numbered and may be cited as SI 2003 No. 1434 or SI 2003 / 1434.

Si, si, or SI may refer to ( all SI unless otherwise stated ):

More simply, R-values may be converted from SI to US units through the following, where RSI is the given unit in metric units:

The quantity of radiant energy may be calculated by integrating radiant flux ( or power ) with respect to time and, like all forms of energy, its SI unit is the joule.

It is currently disputed whether any changes in dimensional physical constants such as G, c, ħ, or ε < sub > 0 </ sub > are operationally meaningful ;< ref > In SI, c, and ε < sub > 0 </ sub > now are defined numerical values, independent of experiment, so observations now are directed elsewhere .</ ref > however, a sufficient change in a dimensionless constant such as α is generally agreed to be something that would definitely be noticed.

Changes in the SI units are proposed that will change the constant to exactly when it is expressed in the unit mol < sup >− 1 </ sup > ( see New SI definitions ).

For example, one possible proposed redefinition is " the ampere ... is such that the value of the elementary charge e ( charge on a proton ) is exactly 1. 602176487 × 10 < sup >− 19 </ sup > coulomb " This proposal is not yet accepted as part of the SI system: The SI definitions are unlikely to change until at least 2015.

The former pronunciation follows the general pattern in English whereby SI units of measurement are pronounced with the stress on the first syllable, and the pronunciation of the actual base unit does not change irresepective of the prefix.

In classical mechanics, moment of inertia, also called mass moment of inertia, rotational inertia, polar moment of inertia of mass, or the angular mass, ( SI units kg · m², imperial / US units lb < sub > m </ sub > ft² ) is a measure of an object's resistance to any change in its state of rotation.

The current flowing into a capacitor plate is equal to the rate of accumulation of charge and hence is also equal to the rate of change of electric flux due to that charge ( electric flux is measured in the same units, Coulombs, as electric charge in the SI system of units ).

: Social Informatics ( SI ) refers to the body of research and study that examines social aspects of computerization – including the roles of information technology in social and organizational change, the uses of information technologies in social contexts, and the ways that the social organization of information technologies is influenced by social forces and social practices.

The magazine went through a makeover and name change ( to SI Women ) in September 2001, after Susan Casey, former Editor of Outside, took over from Sandy Bailey, as Editor in Chief.

Specifically regarding VSL, if the SI meter definition was reverted to its pre-1960 definition as a length on a prototype bar ( making it possible for the measure of c to change ), then a conceivable change in c ( the reciprocal of the amount of time taken for light to travel this prototype length ) could be more fundamentally interpreted as a change in the dimensionless ratio of the meter prototype to the Planck length or as the dimensionless ratio of the SI second to the Planck time or a change in both.

As the Renard numbers repeat after every 10-fold change of the scale, they are particularly well-suited for use with SI units.

In most fields its use has been replaced by the SI unit of energy, the joule.

The frequency of a wave is its rate of oscillation and is measured in hertz, the SI unit of frequency, where one hertz is equal to one oscillation per second.

The electron volt is not an SI unit and its value in SI units must be obtained experimentally.

The ephemeris time of the 1952 standard leaves a continuing legacy, through its ephemeris second which became closely duplicated in the length of the current standard SI second ( see below: Redefinition of the second ).

When an SI prefix is affixed to a root word, the prefix carries the stress, while the root drops its stress but retains a full vowel in the syllable that is stressed when the root word stands alone.

In classical mechanics, moment of inertia, also called mass moment, rotational inertia, polar moment of inertia of mass, or the angular mass, ( SI units kg · m² ) is a measure of an object's resistance to changes to its rotation.

The U. S. does not primarily use SI units in its commercial activities, although they are standard in science, medicine, and government ( including the U. S. Armed Forces ), as well as many sectors of industry.

The International System of Units ( SI ) recognizes pressure as a derived unit with the dimension of force per area and designates the pascal ( Pa ) as its standard unit.

This ephemeris second was the standard for the SI second from 1956 to 1967, and it was also the source for calibration of the caesium atomic clock ; its length has been closely duplicated, to within 1 part in 10 < sup > 10 </ sup >, in the size of the current SI second referred to atomic time.

TDT is tied in its rate to the SI second, as is International Atomic Time ( TAI ), but because TAI was somewhat arbitrarily defined at its inception in 1958 to be initially equal to a refined version of UT, TT is offset from TAI, by a constant 32. 184 seconds.

After publishing in the last issue of its magazine an analysis of the May ' 68 revolts and the strategies that will need to be adopted in future revolutions, the SI was dissolved in 1972.

Former situationists Clark and Nicholson-Smith ( British section ), argued that the portion of the moderate Left that is the " established Left ", and its " Left opinion-makers ", usually addressed contemptuously the SI as ' hopelessly young-Hegelian '.

The response of a portion of the Left to such challenge, has been an attempt to silence and misinterpret, to " turn the SI safely into an art movement, and thereby to minimize its role in the political and social movements of the sixties.

The prefix mebi is a binary prefix derived from the words mega and binary, indicating its origin in the closeness in value to the SI prefix mega.

While the barn is not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with the SI due to its continued use in particle physics.

However, as the mid dot was already in common use in the mathematics world to indicate multiplication, the SI rejected its use as the decimal mark.

Note that the sverdrup is not an SI unit, and that its symbol conflicts with the sievert's symbol.

The SI unit of capacitance is the farad ( named after the English physicist Michael Faraday ); a 1 farad capacitor when charged with 1 coulomb of electrical charge will have a potential difference of 1 volt between its plates.

The prefix kibi is derived as a portmanteau of the words kilo and binary, indicating its origin in the closeness in value to the SI prefix kilo ( 1000 ).
