SI (Systeme International, International System of Units)—metric-based system of weights and measures adopted in 1960 by the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures, in which 36 countries, including the U.S., participated. SI consists of seven basic units ... 

In the literature, information is found using different systems of units metric, SI, and the English system. Quotations from the literature are presented in their original form. It would be difficult to change all these units in the book to one system. To assist the reader in converting these units, an appendix is provided with conversion factors for all units found in the text. 

Key Words Conversion factors, British units, metric units, physical constants, water properties, periodic table of the elements, environmental engineers, Lenox Institute of Water Technology. 

To obtain a spectral representation of the propagator that contains a unit metric, one must transform the set of particle-hole and hole-particle operators to the representation where they give a diagonal metric with unit elements. This transformation is carried out using the excitation operators defined below ... 

Figure 1.15 Metric units. Metric measurements are increasingly common in the United States, as exemplified by the volume printed on this soda can in both English units (fluid ounces, fl oz) and metric units (milliliters, ml). 

MatWeb, http //www.matweb.com, is a searchable database of over 46,000 metals, plastics, ceramics, and composite materials. It allows search by material type, trade name, range of values, composition, UNS number (Unified Numbering System for Metals and Alloys) and even system of units (metric, common US units). An example of searchable materials includes thermoplastic and thermoset polymers such as ABS, nylon, polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene, and polypropylene metals such as aluminum, cobalt, cop-...

If we take i] to be the lORA wave function but normalize it on the unit metric (which is the ZORA metric), the energy (il ) is °, and the denominator is greater than 1. The numerator is the expectation of the ZORA Hamiltonian for a wave function that is not the ground state wave function and therefore Since... 

So far, we have not normalized the pseudospinors, but we must do so now because we are using the unit metric with the pseudopotential. As we noted at the end of the previous section, the diagonal elements of the overlap matrix, which are the norms of the pseudospinors, are greater than 1. From (20.40), the normalized pseudospinor is given by... 

Metric units in equations will follow SI metric practice. To avoid confusion, values in the text that are also used in equations will use standard SI units even if more reasonable numeric values are possible with prefixes. Units for variables in U.S. engineering units (U.S. Eng.) are shown in brackets []. Units for variables in metric units (Metric) will be shown in braces. The nomenclature list shows both U.S. engineering units and metric units used in the equations. Care must be taken to use the correct units, since several equations contain dimensional constants. Results can be incorrect if the wrong units are used. 

This system has been in commercial operation for 17 years without any serious trouble. The required energy is about 2.5 kWH per unit metric ton. Its availability was between 94% and 98% and it was in operation 16 hours everyday in shifts of 8 hours, each by 8 persons. Since November of 1991, it has been operating 24 hours every day in shifts of 8 hours each by 8 persons totally. Although its availability was reduced to 90 - 94% initially, it recovered its availability to 94 - 98%. 

As explained in Chapter 1 the engineering information provided in this book generally uses the SI (Le Systeme international d unites) metric units. However, much of the information to do with regulations and standards, particularly in the United States, is based on the English or customary units such as feet (ft.) and pounds (lb.). In most cases these English measurements have been converted to metric. 

All the quantities in this equation are taken along the instanton trajectory and A(r) has the same meaning of the Hessian matrix of the classical action on the instanton trajectory. Note that Equation (6.155) in the previous subsection is a particular case of this general expression for the unit metric tensor.
