| Poisson distribution |
A poisson distribution is a distribution of random occurrences in which one occurrence has no influence on any other occurrence. The variance of a poisson distribution is equal to its mean and therefore the standard deviation is equal to the square root of the mean of the distribution. Radioactive decay measurements follow a poisson distribution and therefore have a lower measurement error when more counts are accumulated.

| poise |
Equal distribution of mass of timepiece balance wheel around axis of rotation that neutralizes effect of gravity. POISING is accomplished by removing or adding weight to balance wheel to create equal distribution of mass around axis.

| poise |
a measure of viscosity numerically equal to the force required to move a plane surface of one square centimeter per second when the surfaces are separated by a layer of fluid one centimeter in thickness. It is the ratio of the shearing stress to the shear rate of a fluid and is expressed in dyne seconds per square centimeter (DYNE SEC/CM2); 1 centipoise equals .01 poise.
