Metre per second
Metre per second (
U.S. spelling: meter per second) is an
SI derived unit of both
speed (
scalar) and
velocity (
vector quantity which specifies both magnitude and a specific direction), defined by
distance in
metres divided by
time in
seconds. The official
SI symbolic
abbreviation is m·s−1, or equivalently, m/s; although the abbreviation mps is sometimes used colloquially. Where metres per second are several orders of magnitude too slow to be convenient, such as in
astronomical measurements, velocities may be given in terms of kilometres per second, where 1 km/s is equivalent to 1,000 metres per second; in popular, non-science literature kps is occasionally used instead of km/s.

KPS
Karnofsky Performance Status. A standard way of measuring the ability of cancer patients to perform ordinary tasks. The
Karnofsky Performance scores range from 0 to 100. A higher score means the patient is better able to carry out daily activities. KPS may be used to determine a patient's prognosis, to measure changes in a patient's ability to function, or to decide if a patient could be included in a clinical trial.
