Stilb (unit) meter. The current national standard for SI in the United States discourages the use of the stilb. formula_1 formula_2 formula_3 formula_4 formula_5 Other units of luminance: Stilb (unit) The stilb (sb) is the CGS unit of luminance for objects that are not self-luminous. It is equal to one candela per square centimeter or 10 nits (candelas per square meter). The name was coined by the French physicist André Blondel around 1920. It comes from the Greek word "stilbein" meaning "to glitter". It was in common use in Europe up to World War I. In North America self-explanatory terms such as
Intensity measure of a random element formula_3 with formula_4. The intensity measure of formula_1 is defined as for all formula_8. Note the difference in notation between the expectation value of a random element formula_3, denoted by formula_4 and the intensity measure of the random measure formula_1, denoted by formula_12. The intensity measure formula_12 is always s-finite and satisfies for every positive measurable function formula_15 on formula_16. Intensity measure In probability theory, an intensity measure is a measure that is derived from a random measure. The intensity measure is a non-random measure and is defined as the expectation value of the random measure
