The mass of an atomic nucleus is well approximated by its mass number, which indicates that most of the mass of a nucleus arises from mass of its constituent proton s and neutron s. Thus, the mass excess is an expression of the nuclear binding energy , relative to the binding energy per nucleon of Carbon 12 which defines the atomic mass unit .

An A unit , in railroad terminology, is a locomotive generally a diesel locomotive diesel or electric locomotive equipped with a driving cab locomotive cab , or crew compartment, and the Multiple unit train control control system to control other locomotives in a multiple unit , and therefore able to be the lead unit in a consist of several locomotives controlled from a single position. This terminology is generally used in North America , since only there was it commonplace to build B unit s&mdash cabless locomotive units which normally could not lead a train. Typical features Typical driving cab features, and therefore A unit features, include windshields, rectangular side windows, crew seats, heating, and sometimes, radios, air conditioning and toilets. B units always lack all of these features, except that some EMD F unit s have an extra porthole style side window s for a hostler an employee permitted to move a locomotive in a yard only &mdash not on the road . Terminology This terminology has fallen out of use for newer locomotives, since it only really applied to the cab unit style of locomotive. Thus, the term cab unit is used only when an A unit has a Cab unit carbody design. Hood unit road switcher types were generally equipped with driving cabs and the term A unit was not generally applied to them, although the rare cabless road switchers were still called B units. Conversions In some cases, A units were converted to B units. If the unit had been involved in a collision which damaged the cab, it was sometimes more cost effective to rebuild the unit without the cab. In rarer cases, B units were converted to A units. The Chicago and North Western Railway converted several EMD ... to as Crandall Cabs.
