If you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can probably delay the foreclosure sale for at least five or six months, especially if you hire a lawyer to navigate the tricky Chapter 13 shoals. To find out more, see our article on how Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you avoid or delay foreclosure.
There are fixed units such as meters and relative units such as decibels (dB). Relative units are related to specific conditions. For example, decibels in water have a different relative value than decibels in air. Scientists have agreed to use 1 microPascal (Î¼Pa) as the reference pressure for underwater sound. In air, however, scientists have agreed to use a higher reference pressure of 20 microPascals.
The decibel (abbreviated dB) confuses many people, perhaps because they assume it is an absolute unit or level of sound. The dB is not a unit in the sense that a metre or a kilogram are well-defined units of distance and weight.A decibel is the relationship or ratio between two sound levels, for example the measured sound pressure level and the minimum sound pressure level a person with good hearing can detect.imilarly if we had doubled the sound power i.e. two machines, then the measured increase would only be 3 dB. In the first case we had 10 times as much power and the log of 10 is 1 bel or 10 dB. Similarly twice as much power or a factor of 2 gives a log of 0.3 bels or 3 dB.
