Cycle per second operation. Thus, one becquerel is one event per second "on average", whereas one hertz is one event per second on a regular cycle. Cycle can also be a unit for measuring usage of reciprocating machines, especially presses, in which cases "cycle" refers to one complete revolution of the mechanism being measured (i.e. the shaft of a reciprocating engine). Cycle per second The cycle per second was a once-common English name for the unit of frequency now known as the hertz (Hz). The plural form was typically used, often written cycles per second, cycles/second, c.p.s., c/s, ~, or, ambiguously, just cycles.
Vibration theory of olfaction effect in no way argues exclusively for a vibrational theory of olfaction. A study published in 2011 by Franco, Turin, Mershin and Skoulakis shows both that flies can smell deuterium, and that to flies, a carbon-deuterium bond smells like a nitrile, which has a similar vibration. The study reports that drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly), which is ordinarily attracted to acetophenone, spontaneously dislikes deuterated acetophenone. This dislike increases with the number of deuteriums. (Flies genetically altered to lack smell receptors could not tell the difference.) Flies could also be trained by electric shocks either to avoid the deuterated molecule or to
