Number Spacing
error

"The rad is defined as the dose represented by 100 ergs of energy being absorbed by one gramme of matter. The erg is the unit of energy in the cgs system, where one erg = 1 x 10-7 joules. Practically-speaking, especially for the contemporary user, one rad = 0.01 Gy = 0.01 Jkg-1 or alternatively one gray = 100 rads."

Line 2:185 · In a number range, there should not be spaces around the hyphen ('10 -7').
