Unit Definition (manzana [Costa Rican])
The manzana is a traditional unit of land area in Central America. The manzana is the area of a square 100 varas on a side; it thus varies according to the length of the vara. The Costa Rican manzana equals 0.698 896 hectares or about 1.727 acres. Very similar units are used in Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The word manzana means an apple, but the unit is probably related to manzanar, orchard.

Unit Definition (shed)
The shed is an exceptionally small unit of area used in particle physics. Like its big brother, the barn, the shed is used to express the apparent cross-sectional area of a particle from which other particles are scattered. One shed equals 10E-24 barn, which is 10E-52 square meter or 0.0001 square yoctometer.
