Logarithmic Pressure Scale

Nature, 1964
WITHIN the past year discussions have been published1,2 which have been critical of the present system of vacuum designation and have advocated logarithmic scales. We have been independently3 considering this same problem and have arrived at a more specific proposal than that found in refs.

Scales of Logarithmic Methods of Summability

Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, 1969
We suppose throughout that p is a non-negative integer, and use the following notations:where log0x = x for x ≥ e0 = 1, and logn+1x = log(lognx) for x ≥ en+1 = een (n = 0, 1, 2,…);

Scaling theory and logarithmic singularities

Physica, 1974
Abstract It is shown that, within Kadanoff's scaling theory for the Ising model, the amplitudes of the singularities depend upon an analytic contribution to the free energy of the scaled model, which is the self-energy of the cells. In particular a logarithmic singularity of the specific heat occurs in this theory only if the self-energy is nonzero ...

Units for logarithmic scales

Physics Today, 1969
LOGARITHMIC SCALES ARE useful in many fields. Sound power attenuation, musical pitch, star magnitudes, photographic exposure parameters, hydrogen ion concentration and optical densities are all expressed on logarithmic scales, but how different the usages appear!

The logarithm on time scales

Journal of Difference Equations and Applications, 2005
We briefly present the well-studied exponential function on a time scale and pose the problem of finding an appropriate logarithm function on a time scale.

Logarithmic Scales: A Useful Example

The Physics Teacher, 2003
Logarithmic intensity scales are widely encountered in astronomy (star magnitudes), acoustics (decibels), seismology (the Richter scale), and elsewhere. Yet students often have difficulty mastering the concept of logarithmic scales. With this note, I am calling attention to a case of the application of a logarithmic scale to something that is simple ...

A LOGARITHMIC AREA-COMPUTING SCALE

Empire Survey Review, 1936
AbstractThe computing scale to be described is based on the principle of the logarithmic slide-rule and has been devised for the rapid and accurate evaluation of quadrilateral areas from cadastral field sheets on the 1/2500 and larger scales.
