• Definitions:
• The unit used to describe the intensity of radioactivity in a sample of material. The curie is equal to 37 billion (3.7 x 1010) disintegrations ...
• A unit used to measure the rate of radioactive decay. One curie equals 37 billion disintegrations per second, or approximately the radioactivity of one gram of radium.
• A unit of radioactivity equal to 3.7 x 10 10 disintegrations per second.
• A unit of radioactivity that represents the amount of radioactivity associated with one gram of radium. To say that a sample of radioactive material exhibits one curie of radioactivity means that the element is emitting radiation at the rate of 3.7 million times a second. ...
• A unit of measure used to describe the amount of radioactivity in a sample of material.
• Amount of radioactive material in which 3.7 x 10 atoms decay per second. The rate at which radioactive material is released to the environment may be expressed in units of curies per second (Ci/sec.).
• The basic unit of measure for describing the activity (radioactivity) of a quantity of radioactive material. The amount of radioactive material giving off 37 billion disintegrations per second. ...
• A unit of radioactivity. One curie is the amount of material in which 3.7 X 1010 atoms transform per second. A unit known as the becquerel (Bq) is also commonly used. One Bq is equal to 2.7 X 10-11 Ci (or 1.0 disintegration per second). The activity of 1 gram of radium is approximately 1 Ci. ...
• A measure of the amount of radioactivity in a material. One Curie is 37 billion atoms undergoing radioactive decay each second.
• The original unit used to describe the intensity of radioactivity in a sample of material. One curie equals thirty-seven billion disintegrations per second, or approximately the radioactivity of one gram of radium. This unit is no longer recognized as part of the International System of units. ...
• A measure of radioactivity. One curie of radioactive material will have 37 billion transformations of atoms (disintegrations) in one second.
• A measure of the amount of radiation emitted per second by radioactive chemicals, named after Marie Curie, the discoverer of radium. ...
• Special unit of (radio) activity, equal to 3.70 x 1010 disintegrations per second. Historically, the curie (Ci) was based on the disintegration rate of one gram of radium.
• means a quantity of radioactivity. One (1) curie (Ci) is that quantity of radioactive material which decays at the rate of 3.7 x 1010 disintegrations per second (dps). Commonly used submultiples of the curie are the millicurie and the microcurie. ...
• Quantity of a radioactive isotope that disintegrates at the rate of 37,000 million disintegrations per second. Named after early pioneer in the field Marie Curie who with her daughter Iren both died of aplastic anaemia at the ages of 67 and 59 respectively.
• born Maria Sklodowska in Warsaw, Poland, on Nov. 7, 1867, d. July 3, 1934, studied the mysterious radiation that had been discovered in 1896 by Henri Becquerel. With her husband and Henri Becquerel she won the Nobel Prize for physics for the joint discovery of radioactivity. ...
• A unit of radioactivity equal to that emitted by 1 gram of pure radium.
• A unit for measuring the activity of a radioactive nuclide. By definition, 1 C i = 3.700 x 10 10 disintegrations per second.
• French chemist (born in Poland) who won two Nobel prizes; one (with her husband and Henri Becquerel) for research on radioactivity and another for her discovery of radium and polonium (1867-1934) French physicist; husband of Marie Curie (1859-1906) a unit of radioactivity equal to the amount of a radioactive isotope that decays at the rate of 37,000,000,000 disintegrations per second
• A CURIE (short for Compact URI) is an abbreviated URI expressed in CURIE syntax, and may be found in both XML and non-XML grammars. The format of a CURIE is based largely on the InterWiki link syntax used by wikis such as Mediawiki. A CURIE may be considered a datatype.
• The curie (symbol Ci) is a unit of radioactivity, defined as
• Curie is a large lunar crater, much of which lies on the far side of the Moon as seen from the Earth. The western rim projects into the near side of the Moon, as defined by the selenographic coordinate system. ...
