The Theoretical Minimum is a book and a Stanford University-based continuing-education lecture series, which became a popular YouTube-featured content. The series commenced with What You Need to Know (above) reissued under the title Classical Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum .
Lifshitz was the second of only 43 people ever to pass Landau's "Theoretical Minimum" examination. He made many invaluable contributions, in particular to quantum electrodynamics, where he calculated the Casimir force in an arbitrary macroscopic configuration of metals and dielectrics.
Freemake Audio Converter features a batch audio conversion mode to convert multiple audio files simultaneously. The program can also combine multiple audio files into a single file. [ 3 ] The software includes several ready-made presets for each supported output file format and the ability to create a custom preset with the adjustment of ...
Therefore, 16-bit digital audio found on CDs has a theoretical maximum SNR of 98 dB, and professional 24-bit digital audio tops out as 146 dB. As of 2011, digital audio converter technology is limited to an SNR of about 123 dB [12] [13] [14] (effectively 21 bits) because of real-world limitations in integrated circuit design.
Random jitter alters the noise floor of the digital system. The sensitivity of the converter to jitter depends on the design of the converter. [11] It has been shown that a random jitter of 5 ns may be significant for 16 bit digital systems. [30] In 1998, Benjamin and Gannon researched the audibility of jitter using listening tests.
Landauer's principle is a physical principle pertaining to a lower theoretical limit of energy consumption of computation.It holds that an irreversible change in information stored in a computer, such as merging two computational paths, dissipates a minimum amount of heat to its surroundings. [1]
CNET Download (originally Download.com) is an Internet download directory website launched in 1996 as a part of CNET. Initially it resided on the domain download.com, and then download.com.com for a while, and is now download.cnet.com. The domain download.com attracted at least 113 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com ...
A music download is the digital transfer of music via the Internet into a device capable of decoding and playing it, such as a personal computer, portable media player, MP3 player or smartphone. This term encompasses both legal downloads and downloads of copyrighted material without permission or legal payment.
