![]() PC: Windows 2000/XP, 1.5GHz processor, 512MB RAM, USB port. ![]() However, there should be no worries on the sound quality front, as it employs the same 'True Analog Emulation' (TAE) modelling technology that powers the rest of the Arturia range, and so ought to be able to deliver the same convincing analogue-style sound that impressed Gordon in his reviews. You obviously would not get an original Prophet 5 for the £150 that Arturia's Prophet V will set you back! That said, to buy all five of the products listed above may be beyond the budget, and possibly also beyond the needs, of some, so Analog Factory seems to make a lot of sense on that front, as it comes in at the same price point as each individual synth product. One advantage of these software recreations is their price. Arturia have, however, been pretty good at responding to such issues with updates. An example is Gordon's recurring complaint about the functioning of the included chorus/delay effects. Second, the products have, on occasions, exhibited the occasional quirk. ![]() ![]() First, while Arturia's emulations are not perfect recreations (for example, see Gordon's September 2006 review of Prophet V for a detailed appraisal of the differences between software and hardware), they do come pretty close and can capture much of the analogue vibe. Readers can, of course, revisit these reviews for a fuller account, but a couple of things are worth restating. So if your bag is classic analogue-style synth sounds but you don't want to get your hands too dirty with sound tweaking, is Analog Factory the right synth to pluck off the Arturia production line? From The FactoryĪs mentioned above, Gordon Reid's reviews of Arturia's earlier synth offerings have been generally very positive. Wrapped in a streamlined user interface, Analog Factory is a monotimbral, polyphonic soft synth that contains over 2000 preset patches taken from Arturia's earlier, more detailed, synth products. For these people, Arturia may have come up with just the thing. However, there are other musicians for whom these 'genuine' details are less significant but who would still love to access recreations of classic synth sounds. For the genuine lover of the original instruments, this attention to detail is no doubt very appealing and makes programming the soft synths, superficially at least, similar to their hardware inspiration. There are lots of similar soft synths out there, and one thing many of them have in common is close recreations of the user interface of the original synths. Of course, Arturia are not the only developers of software versions of classic synths. For those not lucky enough to own any of the originals, the Arturia emulations provide much of their sonic palette at an accessible price and in a convenient format. Despite some minor niggles, Gordon's reaction to these software recreations has been generally very positive. Over the last couple of years, Gordon Reid has reviewed a number of their soft synths ( Minimoog V, Moog Modular V, ARP 2600V, CS80V and Prophet V/VS), all intended to provide close emulations of some of the most iconic analogue synths ever created. If you're after convincing analogue-style sounds but you don't want to delve into complex programming, Arturia's Analog Factory may be just the thing.Īrturia will be a familiar name to regular SOS readers. ![]() ![]() The more likely future is a bit more complicated, and it almost certainly doesn't involve Assistant going away completely. There have been at least a few news articles recently making that assumption. ![]() Now, all that put together might sound like Google is phasing out Assistant, possibly in favor of Bard or something based on it. More recently, Google is ending support for third-party Google Assistant smart displays. There was also a report from The Information in October that stated Google was investing less in Assistant on headphones, smart glasses, smartwatches, and other form factors, which may have been a cost-cutting measure. The shift reportedly includes Google Assistant's vice president for engineering, Amar Subramanya, moving to the Bard team. Last month, CNBC reported that Google was shifting some staff currently responsible for developing Google Assistant to work on Bard, citing a memo sent to Google employees. It does have some functional overlap with the existing Google Assistant, since both technologies are designed to answer questions and perform actions based on natural language questions, but it's not a true replacement for Assistant. It's intended as a competitor against ChatGPT and Microsoft's Bing Chat, and it will soon be available in Google Docs, Gmail, and other Google services. Google is currently testing Bard, an AI that can accept questions in natural language format and provide text in response. ![]() ![]() Sediments were described in the Rocks chapter. Weathering is the process that changes solid rock into sediments. Ultimately, over millions of years, geologic changes in the uplift of land, driven by plate tectonics, alter the geographic location and amount of rock exposed for weathering.\) Additionally, regional soil quality, nutrient levels (especially nitrogen and phosphorus levels), are dependent on the type of rock that is weathered, which in turn affects local biodiversity. The weathering of rocks affects how much and what kind of rock is eroded by water, ice, wind, and gravity, which can affect soil formation, and where various sedimentary rocks form over thousands to millions of years. Visit the carbon and rock cycle pages to learn more about how weathering is connected to other Earth system processes. This rate is so high that even though the warming produced by the increased CO 2 increases the rate of weathering of silicate rocks, which draws down atmospheric CO 2, is not nearly enough to offset the increase in carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere by human activities. The burning of fossil fuels returns carbon to the atmosphere (as CO 2) at a rate that is hundreds to thousands of times faster than it took to bury. In contrast, the weathering of limestone by carbonic acid releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, but there is no net removal of CO 2 from the atmosphere as happens with the weathering of silicate rocks. This weak acid reacts with rocks, breaking them down, resulting in the transport of carbon via rivers to the ocean, where it ultimately becomes buried in ocean sediments to become limestone rock. ![]() Over long-time scales, significant amounts of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) are removed from the atmosphere when rainwater (H 2O) mixes with CO 2 to form carbonic acid (H 2CO 3). Over thousands to many millions of years, the weathering of silicate rocks on land (rocks made of minerals that contain the element silica) is an important part of the carbon cycle. Plant growth, aside from physically breaking up rocks, can also change the environmental chemistry (for example, increase acidity) contributing to chemical weathering. The rate of these chemical reactions is affected by climatic conditions such as precipitation and temperature, with water and warmer temperatures increasing the rate. Additional causes of physical weathering include the freezing and expansion of water in rock cracks, and tree roots that dig into rocks that can split them apart.Ĭhemical weathering occurs when the breakdown of rock results from chemical change in the rock, or the when the rock is dissolved away. For example, physical weathering can happen as the temperature changes, causing rocks to expand as they warm and contract as they cool, resulting in cracks that lead to the breakdown of the rock. ![]() Physical weathering is the breakdown of rock into smaller pieces without altering the chemical composition of the rock. The weathering of rocks occurs through both physical and chemical processes. Credits: Wikipedia (top) and USGS (bottom) Bottom: The weak acid that results from CO2 dissolving in rainwater slowly dissolves limestone, here leaving to a honeycomb pattern in the limestone rock (bottom). Top: The weathering of granite, a rock rich in silicate minerals, crumbles the once hard rock into sand. However, there is little to no acute effect on habitual consumers. Overall, caffeine seems to increase systolic blood pressure by approximately 5 to 10 mmHg in individuals with infrequent use. As there are multiple constriction and dilatation mechanisms at work, the overall result is individualized and dependent upon caffeine dose, the frequency of use, and comorbidities such as diabetes or hypertension. ![]() This vasodilation becomes counteracted by increased sympathetic tone via catecholamine release and positive cardiac inotropic and chronotropic effects, promoting vasoconstriction. This action promotes further relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells. At the vascular level, caffeine undergoes a complex interaction to control vascular tone, which includes direct antagonism of vascular adenosine receptors to promote vasodilation, as well as stimulation of endothelial cells to release nitric oxide. Likewise, adenosine receptor antagonism stimulates the release of catecholamines, contributing to the systemic stimulatory effects of caffeine and further stimulating cardiac inotropy and chronotropy. In cardiac muscle, direct antagonism of receptor A1 results in positive inotropic effects. Īdenosine receptors are not limited to the CNS but are present throughout the body. Specifically, the antagonism of the A2a receptor is responsible for the wakefulness effects of caffeine. As it is both fat and water-soluble, it readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, resulting in antagonism to all four adenosine receptor subtypes (A1, A2a, A2b, A3). Ĭaffeine’s primary mechanism of action is on the adenosine receptors in the brain. It is also under investigation for its efficacy in treating depression and neurocognitive declines, such as those seen in Alzheimer and Parkinson disease. Caffeine has links with decreased all-cause mortality. ![]() Non-FDA-approved uses of caffeine include treating migraine headaches and post-dural puncture headaches and enhancing athletic performance, especially in endurance sports. The FDA has approved caffeine for use in the treatment of apnea of prematurity and prevention and treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia of premature infants. The primary goal of caffeine consumption is to combat fatigue and drowsiness, but there are many additional uses. It is also an additive to soda and energy drinks. This drug is most commonly sourced from the coffee bean but can also be found naturally occurring in certain types of tea and cacao beans. Caffeine is a naturally occurring central nervous system (CNS) stimulant of the methylxanthine class and is the most widely taken psychoactive stimulant globally.

USA: Notation based on the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act, etc. ![]() Japan: Notation based on the Specified Commercial Transaction Act Hartwell said he was won over by the idea "of recognising literature of enduring value and of recognising and celebrating books that will be read in just not five years' time but 100 years' time". ![]() I've heard they're a bank, a retail chain, an online giant and even an oligarch – so who would have thought a publisher would sponsor a literary prize? I hope you're not disappointed." Toby Hartwell, managing director of the Folio Society, said: "There has been a lot of speculation about the identity of the sponsor. Kidd set the hare running 18 months ago with the idea of a literature prize and its viability has always been about finding a willing sponsor. There will be no black ties for the Folio, said Kidd. The Folio will also be less formal than the Booker, which holds a grand dinner in the Guildhall. It will first be awarded in March 2014, five months after the Booker, and its judges will come from a new academy of professionals who are "immersed in the world of books". The prize will give its winner £40,000, £10,000 less than the Booker. That said, the prize will not apologise for getting excited about books that might at first appear daunting, that go on to reward dedicated readers by reflecting the world back to them in an entirely unexpected or different way." Many, even most, great books go down easily. Kidd was among those critics of the 2011 Booker and he said the new prize was all about bringing literary gems to as wide a public as possible, adding: "Gems is not code for difficult or obscure. ![]() However, the prize's roots are firmly in the debate from 2011 when remarks by Booker judges that they were looking for books with "readability" or books that "zip along" brought a torrent of criticism. More initiatives that bring more great books to more people can only be a good thing." "All book prizes are charitable organisations that are run for the public benefit, so this notion of prizes somehow rivalling each other doesn't really make any sense. "We're a complement to all prizes," he said. The new prize will be similar in aim to the Booker in that it is looking for the year's best work of fiction written in the English language, but it will be open to works from any form or genre of fiction and writers from any country – unlike the Booker, which is just for novels and restricts itself to citizens of the Commonwealth or Ireland.Īndrew Kidd, the literary agent who came up with the idea, said it was not a battle with the Booker. |
