Look up decametre in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

A decametre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and by most English speaking countries,[1][2] United States spelling dekameter or decameter[3][4]), symbol dam ("da" for the SI prefix deca-,[1] "m" for the SI unit metre), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to ten metres.

While any combination of SI prefix and unit can be used, many are rarely used in practice; the decametre is used less frequently than other units of length. One practical use is for altitude of geopotential heights in meteorology. The volumetric form cubic decametre is convenient for describing large volumes of water such as in rivers and lakes;[citation needed] a volume of one cubic decametre (dam3) is equivalent to a capacity of one megalitre (ML).

One technical atmosphere is the pressure of one decametre of water. Also, the are (a), a metric unit for land area, is equal to one square decametre (dam2).

Two-streams hypothesis

Model of the neural processing of vision and hearing The two-streams hypothesis is a model of the neural processing of vision as well as hearing.[1] The hypothesis, given its initial characterisation in a paper by David Milner and Melvyn A. Goodale in 1992, argues that humans possess two distinct visual systems.[2] Recently there seems to be evidence of two distinct auditory systems as well. As visual information exits the occipital lobe, and as sound leaves the phonological n...
