Ratio charts are also called semilogarithmic or semilog charts. This particular chart is designed with an arithmetic scale(equal-unit scale) along the X axis, and one or more logarithmic cycles along the Y axis.... The general principles and mechanical details of drawing the data points and the data path are identical to the procedures for any line chart.  5, record 1, English, - ratio%20chart

The interpretation of information mapped onto a semilog(ratio) chart is, therefore, somewhat different from the ordinary arithmetic line graph. The important difference is this : the slope of the data path on a ratio chart reveals the rate(percentage change) at which the Y variable is changing per unit of X.... the ratio chart(semilogarithmic variety) is measuring percentage change in the Y variable only. Since the X scale is arithmetic, changes in the X portion of the data path are arithmetic, not ratio(or percentage) changes. Semilog(ratio) charts are usually employed to graph data... when a Y variable changes by a large amount in a relatively short range of the X variable.  5, record 1, English, - ratio%20chart

Les axes des abscisses et des ordonnées peuvent tous deux recevoir le caractère logarithmique, mais l'axe des ordonnées peut s'en trouver seul affecté [...] Les graphiques à coordonnées [...] dans lesquels seul l'axe des ordonnées présente cette particularité sont dits semi-logarithmiques [...]; ces derniers possèdent donc un axe des abscisses divisé en parties égales et un axe des ordonnées portant, comme l'échelle de la règle à calcul, des divisions de plus en plus petites correspondant à des grandeurs croissant arithmétiquement. Il s'agit là de graphiques directement dérivés de ceux qu'on appelle à coordonnées cartésiennes et qui se tracent comme ceux-ci, en reliant les points d'intersection des coordonnées.  4, record 1, French, - graphique%20semi%2Dlogarithmique

There are tow types of matrix multiplication : scalar-by-matrix multiplication and matrix-by-matrix multiplication. As a noun, a scalar is a single number or scale factor that all the matrix elements are multiplied by in scalar multiplication. This is used to scale down all the elements of a matrix in equal proportion. In graphics, this is used on row and column vectors that represent points in space. It moves a point radially toward or away from the origin(0, 0, 0). This is often done to put the values of x, y, and z within a range that graphics routines can more easily handle, especially when integer arithmetic is being performed.  1, record 2, English, - scalar%2Dby%2Dmatrix%20multiplication

Deposition patterns for hydrogen and sulfate ion are similar to that of pH on this scale, with the pH 5 contour typically corresponding to a hydrogen ion deposition of 10 mg m^-2sup>y-1(10 meg m^-2sup>y-1) and to an excess sulfate(i. e., with seasalt sulfate deducted) ion deposition of ca. 1 g S m^-2sup>y-1(10 meg m^-2sup>y-1).  1, record 3, English, - seasalt%20sulfate
