    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_protective_services

    Child protective services ( CPS) is the name of an agency responsible for providing child protection, which includes responding to reports of child abuse or neglect. Some countries and US states use other names, often attempting to reflect more family-centered (as opposed to child-centered) practices, such as department of children and family ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber–physical_system

    Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are integrations of computation with physical processes. [1] In cyber-physical systems, physical and software components are deeply intertwined, able to operate on different spatial and temporal scales , exhibit multiple and distinct behavioral modalities, and interact with each other in ways that change with context.

  5. Cycle per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_per_second

    The cycle per second is a once-common English name for the unit of frequency now known as the hertz (Hz). Cycles per second may be denoted by c.p.s., c/s, or, ambiguously, just "cycles" (Cyc., Cy., C, or c). The term comes from repetitive phenomena such as sound waves having a frequency measurable as a number of oscillations, or cycles, per second.

  6. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    e. The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate. [ 1] For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of "thickness": for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water. [ 2] Viscosity is defined scientifically as a force multiplied by a time divided by an area.

  9. Poise (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poise_(unit)

    The poise (symbol P; / pɔɪz, pwɑːz /) 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. Dynamic viscosity has ...
