Limits to limits?

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1998
Today, traffic noise due to cars, trains, and airplanes is the main noise source in urban areas. In accordance with the European Commission’s Green paper on Future Noise Policy, 22% of the European population are exposed to outdoor A-weighted noise levels higher than 65 dB and more than 45% are exposed to levels between 55 and 65 dB.

We describe a case of a 43-year-old woman with a limited form of WG who developed a complete heart block.

Limits to amplification

Electrical Engineering, 1934
The amplification obtainable in a vacuum tube amplifier is limited by the noise in the circuit. Of the various sources of noise the most fundamental and inevitable is thermal agitation of electricity. Other sources are the influence of ions and of shot effect and flicker effect on the current in vacuum tubes, poor contacts, mechanical vibration, and ...

Inherited limits

ACM Computing Surveys, 1998
We study the evolution of partial evaluators over the past fifteen years from a particular perspective: The attempt to prevent structural bounds in the original programs from imposing limits on the structure of residual programs. It will often be the case that a language allows unbounded numbers or sizes of particular features, but each program (being ...
