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).

Edible protein per unit area of land Edible protein per unit area of land Edible protein per unit area of land is a measure of agricultural productivity. This measure for various major foodstuffs is shown in the chart below. Values are expressed for one calendar year. Biological values and usable protein values have been added to the chart to show the true relative value of each foodstock for human consumption. Usable protein values are determined by the biological value (BV) of each foodstuff and represent the amount of protein that is fully digested by humans, it is calculated as follows: Soybeans produce at least two times more
