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
Lebesgue measure is translation-invariant, but not complete. The Haar measure can be defined on any locally compact group and is a generalization of the Lebesgue measure (R with addition is a locally compact group). The Hausdorff measure is a generalization of the Lebesgue measure that is useful for measuring the subsets of R of lower dimensions than "n", like submanifolds, for example, surfaces or curves in R and fractal sets. The Hausdorff measure is not to be confused with the notion of Hausdorff dimension. It can be shown that there is no infinite-dimensional analogue of Lebesgue measure.
