Definitions for "Neper"
An electrical unit similar to decibel, used to express the ratio between two amounts of power existing at two distinct points. A neper is 8.686 decibels.
Basic unit of a logarithmic scale used for the expression of ratios of voltages, currents, and similar quantities.
a unit expressing the ratio of two numbers as a natural logarithm; the ratio corresponds to (1/2) ln nepers. Quantities differ by 1 neper if one is e2 = 7.389056 times the other. One neper is equal to about 8.685 890 decibels, and in general nepers equal 20/(ln 10) decibels. The neper is accepted for use with SI units, and it may become an SI unit in the future. The unit recognizes the Scottish mathematician John Napier (1550-1617), the inventor of the logarithm (Napier often spelled his name Jhone Neper, and he used the Latin form Ioanne Napero in his writings).

Neper is an old lunar impact crater located near the eastern limb of the Moon. Due to its location the crater must be viewed during a suitable libration, and is very foreshortened. The crater lies on the south edge of Mare Marginis, to the east of Jansky crater.
