Long observation has taught Mason that most landscape can be reduced to three essential planes: a foreground in sharp focus -- either a light area with dark accents or a dark one with lights ; ;

There are three principal feed bunk types for dairy and beef cattle: ( 1 ) Fence-line bunks -- cattle eat from one side while feed is put in from the opposite side of the fence by self-unloading wagons ; ;

The best way to determine the correct figure ( in captives ) is by direct observation of pairs isolated from birth, a method that produced surprising results: maturing of a male Indian python in less than two years, his mate in less than three ; ;

The well-known " Ranz des Vaches " ( score ; audio ) is a traditional Swiss melody often heard on the alphorn.

* Uncompressed audio formats, such as WAV, AIFF, AU or raw header-less PCM ;

Analog ( or analogue ) television is the analog transmission that involves the broadcasting of encoded analog audio and analog video signal: one in which the information to be transmitted, the brightness and colors of the points in the image and the sound waves of the audio signal are represented by continuous variations of some aspect of the signal ; its amplitude, frequency or phase.

In most amplifiers a reduction in gain takes place before hard clipping occurs ; the result is a compression effect, which ( if the amplifier is an audio amplifier ) sounds much less unpleasant to the ear.

The Mini CD has various diameters ranging from ; they are sometimes used for CD singles, storing up to 24 minutes of audio or delivering device drivers.

Some audio formats feature a combination of a lossy format and a lossless correction ; this allows stripping the correction to easily obtain a lossy file.

In addition to the direct applications ( mp3 players or computers ), digitally compressed audio streams are used in most video DVDs ; digital television ; streaming media on the internet ; satellite and cable radio ; and increasingly in terrestrial radio broadcasts.

LPC may also be thought of as a basic perceptual coding technique ; reconstruction of an audio signal using a linear predictor shapes the coder's quantization noise into the spectrum of the target signal, partially masking it.

Throughout the 1980s and ' 90s, Young promised fans a follow-up to the original Decade collection, provisionally titled Decade II ; eventually, this idea was scrapped in favor of a much more comprehensive anthology to be titled Archives, spanning his entire career and ranging in size from a box set to an entire series of audio and / or video releases.

* A sound system for amplification or broadcasting of the recordings ( for example, portable audio system, PA system ) or a radio broadcasting system ;

* A DJ mixer, which is an ( usually 2-or 4-channel ) audio mixer usually equipped with a crossfader used to smoothly go from one song to another, using two or more playback devices ;

* DVCAM, DVCPRO — used in professional broadcast operations ; similar to DV but generally considered more robust ; though DV-compatible, these formats have better audio handling.

The term most commonly refers to the substitution of the voices of the actors shown on the screen by those of different performers speaking a different language ; however the practice also involves the rerecording of audio segments and then synchronizing the recording with the existing footage.

The power gain of an amplifier depends on the source and load impedances used as well as its voltage gain ; while an RF amplifier may have its impedances optimized for power transfer, audio and instrumentation amplifiers are normally employed with amplifier input and output impedances optimized for least loading and highest quality.

* The AES / EBU digital audio interface, formally known as AES3 ;

* Equalization of audio recordings with a series of bandpass filters ;

This standard was well intentioned but only mildly successful ; in practice, the term was widely misapplied to audio products that did not remotely approach the DIN basis specifications.

For example, a picture may have more detail than the eye can distinguish when reproduced at the largest size intended ; likewise, an audio file does not need a lot of fine detail during a very loud passage.

Some audio formats feature a combination of a lossy format and a lossless correction which when combined reproduce the original signal ; the correction can be stripped, leaving a smaller, lossily compressed, file.

By the late 1990s, many personal computer motherboards supported a full range of audio, video, storage, and networking functions without the need for any expansion cards at all ; higher-end systems for 3D gaming and computer graphics typically retained only the graphics card as a separate component.

the purpose of producing plays at the College is three-fold: to provide the Carleton students with the best possible opportunity for theater-going within the limits set by the maturity and experience of the performers and the theatrical facilities available ; ;

" Alex's friends (" droogs " in the novel's Anglo-Russian slang, Nadsat ) are: Dim, a slow-witted bruiser who is the gang's muscle ; Georgie, an ambitious second-in-command ; and Pete, who mostly plays along as the droogs indulge their taste for ultra-violence.

Aeschylus (, Aiskhulos ; c. 525 / 524 BC – c. 456 / 455 BC ) was the first of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays can still be read or performed, the others being Sophocles and Euripides.

His family was wealthy and well established ; his father Euphorion was a member of the Eupatridae, the ancient nobility of Attica, though this might be a fiction that the ancients invented to account for the grandeur of his plays.

Functionalists like Monroe Beardsley argue that whether or not a piece counts as art depends on what function it plays in a particular context ; the same Greek vase may play a non-artistic function in one context ( carrying wine ), and an artistic function in another context ( helping us to appreciate the beauty of the human figure ).

His many plays included Nobody's Widow ( 1910 ), starring Blanche Bates ; Fair and Warmer ( 1915 ), starring Madge Kennedy ( filmed in 1919 ); The Gold Diggers ( 1919 ), starring Ina Claire ( filmed in 1923 as The Gold Diggers, in 1928 as Gold Diggers of Broadway and also as Gold Diggers of 1933 ); Ladies ' Night, 1920, starring Charlie Ruggles ( filmed in 1928 ); the famous mystery play The Bat ( with Mary Roberts Rinehart ), 1920 ( filmed in 1926, 1930 and 1959 ); Getting Gertie's Garter ( with Wilson Collison ), 1921, starring Hazel Dawn ( filmed in 1927 and 1945 ); The Demi-Virgin, 1921, also starring Hazel Dawn ; The Alarm Clock, 1923 ; The Best People ( with David Gray ), 1924 ( filmed in 1925 and as Fast and Loose in 1930 ), the song-farce Naughty Cinderella, 1925, starring Irene Bordoni and The Garden of Eden in 1927 ( filmed in as 1928 ).

The Archbishop of Canterbury plays a central part in national ceremonies such as coronations ; due to his high public profile, his opinions are often in demand by the news media.

Lucifer is the light spirit, which " plays on human pride and offers the delusion of divinity ", but also motivates creativity and spirituality ; Ahriman is the dark spirit, which tempts human beings to "... deny link with divinity and to live entirely on the material plane ", but also stimulates intellectuality and technology.

A runner who reaches on catcher's interference and subsequently scores with two outs scores an unearned run, but baserunners who subsequently score after the runner who has reached on catcher's interference exclusively on clean plays score earned runs ; the baserunner cannot be assumed to have been put out except for the error.

* Absence of common measure of value: In a monetary economy, money plays the role of a measure of value of all goods, so their values can be measured against each other ; this role may be absent in a barter economy.

In any case, Goldoni was deeply interested in theatre from his earliest years, and all attempts to direct his activity into other channels were of no avail ; his toys were puppets, and his books, plays.

In modern theoretical physics, the Casimir effect plays an important role in the chiral bag model of the nucleon ; and in applied physics, it is significant in some aspects of emerging microtechnologies and nanotechnologies.

The rules are identical to that of Scrabble, except that valid plays are only required to form anagrams of acceptable words ; in other words, the letters in a word do not need to be placed in the correct order.

Griffith began his creative career as a playwright but met with little success ; only one of his plays was accepted for a performance.
