Aerospace | In acoustics, the logarithm of the ratio of that quantity to a reference quantity of the same kind. The base of the logarithm, the reference quantity, and the kind of level must be specified. Examples of kinds of levels in common use are electric power level, sound-pressure-squared level, voltage-squared level. Level as here defined is measured in units of the logarithm of a reference ratio that is equal to the base of logarithms. In Symbols, L = logr (q/q0) where L is level of kind determined by the kind of quantity under consideration, measured in units of logr; r is the base of logarithms and the reference ratio; q is the quantity under consideration; and q0 is the reference quantity of the same kind. Differences in the levels of two like quantities q1 and q2 are described by the same formula because, by the rules of logarithms, the reference quantity is automatically divided out:logr (q1 /q0) - logr (q2 /q0) = logr (q1 /q2).

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | INCOME, n. The natural and rational gauge and measure of respectability, the commonly accepted standards being artificial, arbitrary and fallacious; for, as "Sir Sycophas Chrysolater" in the play has justly remarked, "the true use and function of property (in whatsoever it consisteth -- coins, or land, or houses, or merchant- stuff, or anything which may be named as holden of right to one's own subservience) as also of honors, titles, preferments and place, and all favor and acquaintance of persons of quality or ableness, are but to get money. Hence it followeth that all things are truly to be rated as of worth in measure of their serviceableness to that end; and their possessors should take rank in agreement thereto, neither the lord of an unproducing manor, howsoever broad and ancient, nor he who bears an unremunerate dignity, nor yet the pauper favorite of a king, being esteemed of level excellency with him whose riches are of daily accretion; and hardly should they whose wealth is barren claim and rightly take more honor than the poor and unworthy." |
