Therefore, 'hPa' always becomes '100 +kg.m-1.sec-1', and 'day' always becomes '86400 sec'. On the other hand, this +library tries to keep the original expressions as much as possible by default, +while allowing partial to complete decompositions if needed. + +Author: Takeshi Horinouchi <horinout@kurasc.kyoto-u.ac.jp> + Eizi Toyoda +WWW: http://www.gfd-dennou.org/arch/ruby/products/numru-units/ |
