To see what Fechner's Scale of Sensation would be like for loudness, for example, we may think of the scale as a ladder. Now let us imagine an experiment. Suppose I turn on a very faint sound, so faint that you cannot hear it. I increase its intensity until it stands just at your absolute threshold, where you can barely hear it. That gives us the first step on the ladder. I now increase the intensity until you say yes, that is louder—louder by a JND [just noticeable difference], which gives us the next step on the ladder.  3, record 3, English, - Fechner%27s%20Scale%20of%20Sensation

The use of the ha-ha, or sunken fence, to create and at the same time conceal the physical division between garden and contiguous park grounds(a division needed to keep grazing animals out of the garden) was a major step in the creation of the new, "natural" garden. Walpole explains the purpose of the visual unification : The contiguous ground of the park without the sunk fence was to be harmonized with the lawn within; and the garden in its turn was to be set free from its prime regularity, that it might assort with the wilder country without.  4, record 9, English, - ha%2Dha

Inside the radio-wave lamp. An electronic oscillator linked to a small, coiled antenna produces radio waves much like a radio station. Electrons in atoms of mercury vapor absorb the radio waves, which excite the electrons to a higher "energy state". The electrons emit photons, or packets, of invisible ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb absorbs the ultraviolet light, exciting electrons, which then emit visible light.  1, record 13, English, - radio%2Dwave%20bulb

Last week a small California company announced that next year, it plans to market the "E-(for electronic) Lamp, "a bulb that will be completely interchangeable with incandescents, use a quarter as much energy-and last a decade or more. The secret is a tiny radio-frequency generator in each bulb, transmitting energy to a surrounding cloud of mercury gas and in turn to the fluorescent coating. There are some 1. 5 billion light sockets in the United States; each incandescent that is replaced by an E-Lamp would save an estimated ton of carbon dioxide from electrical generating stations over the life of the bulb, a small step toward reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.  1, record 13, English, - radio%2Dwave%20bulb

Record number: 13, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Since the electronic components last indefinitely, the bulb should fail only when the phosphor deteriorates (or someone knocks the lamp off the table). And instead of burning out with a "pop," the new bulbs will gradually become less bright. Someday lamps and fixtures may have the electronic components built into their base, and consumers will just slip on a cheap, replaceable glass jacket containing the mercury and phosphor.  1, record 13, English, - radio%2Dwave%20bulb
