Incremental measures will only distract us from the scope of the challenges that we confront.

There are those who want to divert the focus of the discussion, citing illegitimate arguments in defense of free speech or fighting censorship .

This is because the shot noise of an optical communication channel is greater than the thermal noise of an electrical channel which, from information theory, means that more signal power is required to achieve the same data capacity.

This study in Germany found the average noise level in classrooms is 65 decibels.

Brazil concluded that the dispersal of environmental legislation in several laws was mainly the result of different political and institutional contexts in its recent history.

This channel is often used by theorists because it is one of the simplest noisy channels to analyze.

So we have to be very concerned about when the noise in habitats degrades the habitat enough that the animals either have to pay too much to be able to communicate, or are not able to perform critical functions.

There was little initial interest in the engine, but Boeing realized that the CFM56 might be a solution to upcoming noise regulations.

The chevrons reduced jet noise by 1.3 perceived loudness decibels during takeoff conditions, and are now offered as an option with the CFM56 for the Airbus A321.

One final point I'm optimistic, because I believe we have the capacity, at moments of great challenge, to set aside the causes of distraction and rise to the challenge that history is presenting to us.

Quality of service comprises requirements on all the aspects of a connection, such as service response time, loss, signal to noise ratio, crosstalk, echo, interrupts, frequency response, loudness levels, and so on.

And I think, you know, that's a great name for boats that think that they're going to do anything to make a dent in this by dragging a boom between them when there are literally hundreds of thousands of square miles in the Gulf right now with oil at the surface.
