This system is the most common of the several electromagnetic unit systems based on the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). It is also called the Gaussian unit system, Gaussian-cgs units, or often just cgs units. [a] The term "cgs units" is ambiguous and therefore to be avoided if possible: there are several variants of CGS, which ...
The earliest units of measure devised by humanity bore no relationship to each other. [citation needed] As both humanity's understanding of philosophical concepts and the organisation of society developed, so units of measurement were standardized—first particular units of measure had the same value across a community, then different units of the same quantity (for example feet and inches ...

From April to September 1967 Seabees of Mobile Construction Battalion 4 built a 2,040 feet (620 m) "Liberty bridge" (Tự Do bridge, now the Giao Thủy bridge) over the Thu Bồn river. [3] The airfield was capable of handling C-7, C-123 and C-130 aircraft. [1] On the night of 21 November 1968, a PAVN/VC battalion attacked the base.
Originally, many thước of varying lengths were in use in Vietnam, each used for different purposes. According to Hoàng Phê (1988), [1] the traditional system of units had at least two thước of different lengths before 1890, [2] the thước ta (lit. "our ruler") or thước mộc ("wooden ruler"), equal to 0.425 metres (1 ft 4.7 in), and the thước đo vải ("ruler for measuring ...
At the close of the 19th century three different systems of units of measure existed for electrical measurements: a CGS-based system for electrostatic units, also known as the Gaussian or ESU system, a CGS-based system for electromechanical units (EMU), and an International system based on units defined by the Metre Convention [33] for ...
The atomic units have been chosen to use several constants relating to the electron: the electron mass, the elementary charge, the Coulomb constant and the reduced Planck constant. The unit of energy in this system is the total energy of the electron in the Bohr atom and called the Hartree energy. The unit of length is the Bohr radius.
