Decibel scale chart logarhythmic3/31/2024 ![]() This will make the other 98 stores’ data more compressed and harder to see. For instance, if a chart is displaying the profits of 100 branches of a department store and two or three branches have huge sales compared to the other branches. When there is skewness towards large values or when some points are much smaller or larger than the remainder of the data.Data may contain exponential laws, such as the Richter scale.Ī logarithmic chart is ideal to be used in two scenarios:.The use of logarithms instead of linear values can reduce an axis or chart to a more manageable size. Other common applications of logarithmic (or exponential) functions include decibel measurements, star brightness, data storage capability (Moore’s Law), and pH balance. ![]() While a linear scale is regular, each magnitude increase represents a tenfold increase in amplitude. And if you’ve been unfortunate enough to experience the difference between a 7.5 and an 8.5, it’s terrifying. However, the same one magnitude difference between 5.5 and 6.5 is very noticeable. Ask anyone who has experienced many earthquakes they can barely feel a magnitude 2.5 or 3.5 earthquake, and it’s hard to assess the difference between them. So while they are linear in nature, and if they are mapped onto a scale, they are the same distance apart the temperature change between 105 degrees and 110 degrees feels a lot more noticeable.Ī commonly understood logarithmic scale is the Richter scale. However, the difference between 105 degrees and 110 degrees is very noticeable. The difference one feels between 60 degrees and 65 degrees is minimal. People use logarithmic scales because not everything is equal. The equation y = Logb (x) shows that y is the exponent or power that b is raised in order to get x. For instance, 42 = 16 can be rewritten as log4 16 = 2, although you would say “log to the base 2 of 16 is 4.” Log is the exponent, in this example, 4. This allows the separation of the exponent on one side of an equation. “Logs” are another way of writing exponential equations. For example, 10 and 20 compared to 80 and 90 are not equally spaced apart instead 10 and 100 and 60 and 600 will be equally spaced apart because they both represent a 100 percent increase.

Predator vs prey eye placement3/31/2024 ![]() However, since in nearly every case any species eats more than one type of food, trophic relationships are better displayed as a food web, comprised These mark out relationships in a food chain of organisms that eat the organisms below them. ![]() This most important aspect of ecology is thus trophic relationships: who eats whom. So plants, algae, and other photosynthesizes are basically made up of air (and a little bit of other matter drawn from soil and/or water), while animals and other heterotrophs are made of food (ultimately plants) and air. In this reaction, we take in sugars and oxygen and release waste (That is, food (glucose) plus oxygen yields waste carbon dioxide and waste water, plus energy). Nutrients from digesting other life forms, primarily via the aerobic respiration equation:Ĭ 6H 12O 6 + 6O 2 yields 6CO 2 + 6H 2O + Energy In contrast, most other life forms (animals, fungi, most "protists", etc.) are heterotrophs: we get Photosynthesizers are the major form of autotroph: organisms Or, in other words, photosynthesizers (plants and algae) take in water and carbon dioxide and using sunlightĬonvert these into sugars and waste oxygen gas. Here is the process greatly simplified:Īnd here is the photosynthesis equation, simplified:ĦCO 2 + 6H 2O + Sunlight yields C 6H 12O 6 + 6O 2 How does energy go from the non-living environment into the living world? One major way is photosynthesis. Order consumers and so on, up to the apex predator (consumers that eat lower order consumers but are not typically eaten by any species but themselves). Consumers are those that eat other organisms:ġst order consumers are herbivores (plant-eaters) 2nd order consumers eat 1st order consumers 3rd order consumers eat 2nd and 1st Decomposers break down the bodies of any kind of organisms. Producers do not consume other animals: in terrestrial ecosystems, theseĪre plants (which "eat" sunlight). Trophic Level: The position an organism occupies of a food chain.Trophic relationships are better displayed as a food web, comprised However, since in nearly every case any species eats more than one type of food, These mark out relationships in aįood chain of organisms that eat the organisms below them. Most important aspects of this in ecology would be: Synecology, also called community ecology: the study of species of organisms interacting in an environment.One very important aspect of autecology is the niche: the particular Other lectures (the diversity, behavior, biomechanics, etc. In general, we deal with issues of paleo-autecology in Autecology: the study of an individual species with relation to its environment.Paleoecology: not surprisingly, the study of the relations and interactions of fossil organisms to each other and to their natural.(NOTE: ecology does not mean the same thing as "environmental activism"!!)

Bias amp 2 crash ableotn3/31/2024 ![]() I can run several instances of Omnisphere and get the same CPU usage as a track with Bias FX that isn't even playing! The reply that PG give about CPU usage is completely missing the point that their plugin is a badly implemented resource hog. ![]() None of them cause anything like these issues with Live. I have a lot of NI plugins, plus OmniSphere and Captain. It doesn't work on the bus, yet if if put GR5 on it it works perfectly. * Tried passing channels through a send & return bus with Bias FX on it to limit it ti a single instance. * Because of the previous issue, multiple instances are not a good idea. Usually resulting in a crash and restart. * Live becomes very unstable after a few minutes of use, CPU usage goes mad regardless of the patch in use. * Same issue as stated here, the plugin is active but no audio processing occurs. I have found the following problems in Live on WIn 10: I do not trust this product to update it again. It works fine in standalone, although that being said it is a retrograded version one of the upgrades totally ruined the sound, everything was distorted. (3) Please try another driver like ASIO4ALLīias FX 2 is probably the worst plugin I have ever used in Live. (2) Please check if the audio driver for your audio interface is up to date (1) Please make sure you've tried both 32bit & 64bit versions. *For Windows users having the crackling/popping noise issue in BIAS FX/Amp/Pedal standalone, This way you have the audio files without having to run multiple plugins in order to save CPU usage. A common practice would be export the tracks with BIAS FX 2 to WAV files and reimport them into the session. Avoid using multiple instances of BIAS FX 2 plugins as it multiplies the CPU usage and can lead to CPU limit quite easily. For Windows users, we recommend you follow the guide below to optimize the system for better CPU performance for audio production work:Ĥ. Avoid opening other applications at the same time, and turn off unnecessary applications running in the background.ģ. ![]() Go to Audio Setting (of BIAS FX 2 or your DAW), set the Sample Rate to 48k or lower, set the Buffer Size to 256 or higher.Ģ. So when encountering the crackling noise, we recommend you look into the following:ġ. Having other applications running will eat up the CPU usage as well, resulting higher CPU usage. Lower Buffer Size and/or higher Sample Rate setting will also cause higher CPU load.Ĥ. CPU will overload more easily on certain presets with more effects and/or dual amp setting.ģ. The crackling noise is due to insufficient CPU usage.Ģ. ![]() The lack of replies suggests this is not common and personally I have never had this kind of thing happen in Live but sometimes plugins can do some strange things and i'd be looking more at the plugin than Live.ġ. Have you written to the devs of the plugin? If you use a different plugin for instance (such as a Live plugin) does the same thing happen (in other words, is it only BiasFX)? How do you have things setup? Do you just have multiple tracks and just rec-enable a track to get the effects through it? How long does it take to occur or is there any kind of method to the failure? Does it ever not work when you first load live or after a certain time or when you switch instances? I have no answers, only suggestions to test.Ĭan you get this issue to happen under controlled cases at home? I have never heard of this issue occurring but if you can make it happen, it should be easy to test the issue.įor instance, is your BiasFX fully registered? It's not some kind of limitation from a Trial version or something? Hard to help when you have no idea of the equipment being used. Others need to know what you are working with to be able to help. I am sure you don't, but that's not the focus. I don't have any trouble with the pc, the software or the interface beside this one.

Susan monica my favorite murder3/31/2024 She said Delicino suffered three to four gunshot wounds to the head, but there was no evidence one way or another about the self-defense claim. Vance said she couldn't determine whether the ax blows came before or after Haney died. His remains were found in plastic bags in her barn. Defense attorney Garren Pedemonte has argued there's no concrete evidence to rebut Monica's claims that she shot Delicino in self-defense or to show that Haney was actually alive when Monica shot him. She later questioned whether he was alive when she shot him. She said she came on him a month later as pigs were disemboweling him, and she shot him to ease his suffering. She told investigators Haney disappeared in the summer of 2013. Monica told investigators she shot Delicino in self-defense and said he was eaten by her pigs before she buried his remains on her 20-acre farm. Monica is charged with murder and abusing the corpses of 59-year-old Stephen Delicino in 2012 and Haney in 2013. In other testimony, a state police forensic anthropologist, Veronica Vance, testified that Haney's legs had been chopped off with an ax, and the thigh bones showed signs of being gnawed by an animal. She told her story to jailers last week and appeared as an 11th-hour witness. ![]() Farris said the April 9 birthday greeting came a few days after Monica told her about the killing. "I got chills from the birthday card," said the 23-year-old inmate, who is serving time for violating probation from a burglary conviction and met Monica in the Jackson County Jail. In testimony Monday, Jordan "Janae" Farris said that Susan Monica confided that she shot one of the victims, 56-year-old Robert Haney, with a shotgun and fed him to her pigs. Prosecutors said 59-year-old Stephen Delicino was killed in 2012 and 56-year-old Robert Haney died in 2013. Circuit Judge Tim Barnack immediately sentenced Monica to a minimum 50 years in prison. The Medford Mail Tribune reported that the Jackson County jury found Susan Monica guilty Tuesday of murdering two men about a year apart then abusing their corpses by feeding them to the animals at her farm. She then put her hands up in the air and said: "I held the gun like this.MEDFORD - Jurors spent only about an hour deliberating before convicting an Oregon woman of killing two handymen and feeding their corpses to her pigs. Judge Barnack gave Monica an unforgiving sentence after calling her a cold blooded killer. Shocking the courtroom, Monica raised her hand as the judge addressed the jury before deliberations and requested being given one last chance to show how she shot Delicino. On the sixth day of her double murder trial, Susan Monica was found guilty of two murder charges for the deaths of Robert Haney and Stephen Delicino. ![]() "Just because Susan Monica is different and strange and weird doesn't make her a murderer," defence lawyer, Christine Herbert, told the jury. ![]() Meanwhile, defence lawyers said the case will be appealed. State Police forensic anthropologist, Veronica Vance, however testified that there was no evidence to validate the self-defence claim against Delicino and the fact that Haney's legs were found chopped off with an axe proved both of Monica's statements were false. She alleged shooting Delicino in self-defence and her pigs started eating his corpse before she could attempt to bury him.Īccording to her statement, she discovered Haney while he was being attacked by her pigs and she shot him to relieve him of his suffering. Monica reportedly gave contradicting stories on how she shot the two victims that failed to match the forensic evidence. It may sound harsh, but you are a cold-blooded killer," said Judge Barnack, reported ABC News. You valued pigs more than you value people. "You shot two people and fed them to your pigs. Monica was sentenced to 50 years in prison by Circuit Judge Tim Barnack.
