Normally, when the president and the staff sit together, the seating position at the head table is traditionally yang (superior), while other seats are yin (inferior). In traditional Chinese medicine, practiced for thousands of years, all things--both substances as well as processes--have yin and yang qualities.
Many manufacturers publish decibel ratings for dishwashers to help consumers compare operating noise levels. Normal conversation measures about 60 decibels, and some of the quietest dishwashers on the market rank at 39 to 40 decibels. When comparing the quietness of dishwashers, keep in mind that decibels measure sound intensity, and a few points can make a big difference. An increase of one decibel means a sound increase of 30 percent, while an increase of 3 decibels means a doubling of sound level. A dishwasher rated at 56 decibels is four times as loud as one rated at 53, or twice as loud as one rated at 50.
Yet that 10-dB difference represents a tenfold increase in intensity. A 70-dB dishwasher will sound about four times as loud as the 50-dB refrigerator, but in terms of acoustic intensity, the sound it makes is 100 times as powerful.You will often see noise levels given in dBA (A-weighted sound levels) instead of dB.Measurements in dBA, or dB(A) as it is sometimes written, are decibel scale readings that have been adjusted to attempt to take into account the varying sensitivity of the human ear to different frequencies of sound.et that 10-dB difference represents a tenfold increase in intensity.
