	Siemens (unit) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The siemens (symbol: S) is the SI derived unit of electric conductance.
		The term siemens, as it is an SI unit, is used universally in science and primarily in electrical applications, while mho is still used primarily in electronic applications.
		The upside down ohm symbol, while not an official SI unit, has the advantage of being less likely to be confused with a variable than the letter S when doing algebraic calculations by hand, where the usual typographical distinctions (such as italic for variables and roman for unit names) are difficult to maintain.

	Wikipedia: Katal
		Katal is the SI derived unit for catalytic activity.
		The name katal had been used for this unit for decades, but did not become an official SI derived unit until 1999 with Resolution 12 of the 21st CGPM, on the recommendation of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine.
		"Units" are more commonly used than the katal in practice at present, but their definition lacks coherence with the SI system.

		The SI is not static; it is a living set of standards where units are created and definitions are modified with international agreement as measurement technology progresses.

		The base units are a choice of seven well-defined units which by convention are regarded as dimensionally independent: the metre, the kilogram, the second, the ampere, the kelvin, the mole, and the candela.
		Derived units are those formed by combining base units according to the algebraic relations linking the corresponding quantities.
		The names and symbols of some of the units thus formed can be replaced by special names and symbols which can themselves be used to form expressions and symbols of other derived units.
