 Trophic level - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trophic levels are very similar on land, with plants being the first trophic level, cows eating the grass being the second, and humans eating the cows being the third.
This is why trophic levels are usually portrayed as a triangle, one that places grass on the bottom and cougars on top---the top is always much smaller than the bottom.
In the ocean, phytoplankton is the primary producer (the first level in the food chain or the first trophic level).Phytoplankton converts inorganic carbon into protoplasm.

 Sea level - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To an operator of a tide gauge, MSL means the "still water level"—the level of the sea with motions such as wind waves averaged out—averaged over a period of time such that changes in sea level, e.g., due to the tides, also get averaged out.
Traditionally, one had to process sea-level measurements to take into account the effect of the 228-month Metonic cycle and the 223-month eclipse cycle on the tides.
As the graph shows, sea level today is very near the lowest level ever attained (the lowest level occurred at the Permo-Triassic boundary about 250 million years ago).

 Ambient noise level - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In telecommunications, ambient noise level or room noise level is the level of acoustic noise existing at a given location, such as in a room, in a compartment, or at a place out of doors.
Ambient noise level is measured with a sound level meter.
It is usually measured in dB above a reference pressure level of 0.00002 Pa, i.e., 20 μPa (micropascals) in SI units.

 Line level - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Line level signals are often contrasted with weaker signals, such as those output from microphones and inductive instrument pickups, and stronger signals, such as those used to drive headphones and speakers.
Line level is a term used to denote the strength of an audio signal used to transmit analog sound information between audio components such as CD and DVD players, TVs, amplifiers, and mixing consoles.
After manipulation at line level, signals are then typically sent to a device known as a power amplifier, where they are amplified to levels that can drive headphones or loudspeakers, which convert the signals back into sounds that can be heard through the air.

 Level crossing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Where third rail systems have level crossings, there is a gap in the third rail over the level crossing, but the power supply is not interrupted since trains have current collectors in the front and rear cars; however, care must be taken that a current or voltage gap is not created between the two ends.
The term level crossing (also called a railroad crossing, railway crossing, or grade crossing) is a crossing on one level ("at-grade intersection")— without recourse to a bridge or tunnel— of a railway line by a road, path, or other railroad.
Level crossings in China, Thailand, and Malaysia are still largely manually-operated, where the barriers are lowered using a manual switch when trains approach.

 Level 42 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Level 42 was a British funk music band who had a number of worldwide and UK hits during the 1980s.
Level 42 was formed in 1980 as a jazz-funk fusion band.
Elements of Level 42's roots can still be found in the funky "Coup d'Etat" and "Dream Crazy" on the UK version of the album, as well as a long instrumental track named "Hell", which was also recorded during the World Machine sessions.

 Base level - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The uplift of the Colorado Plateau, combined with the opening of the Gulf of California to the sea, established sea level as the base level for the Colorado River and led to the (geologically) rapid erosion that resulted in the Grand Canyon.
When the source of a stream is very high, relative to the base level (high stream gradient), erosion proceeds rapidly due to the energy of the rapidly moving water; the topography becomes rugged; and we say the stream is young (geologically speaking).
For large rivers, sea level is usually the base level, but a large river or lake is likewise the base level for tributary streams.

 Probability of a statistic and its significance level
The significance of a statistic is its probability of occurrence assuming the null hypothesis is true
In the previous example, the probability of obtaining a mean of 1.5 (or higher) from a population assumed to have a mean of zero is.025

 Statistical significance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, one may choose a significance level of, say, 5%, and calculate a critical value of a statistic (such as the mean) so that the probability of it exceeding that value, given the truth of the null hypothesis, would be 5%.
More precisely, in traditional frequentist statistical hypothesis testing, the significance level of a test is the maximum probability of accidentally rejecting a true null hypothesis (a decision known as a Type I error).
However a test at the 1% level is more likely to have a Type II error than a test at the 5% level, and so will have less statistical power.

 Signal compression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instantaneous values of the input signal that are low, relative to the reference level, are increased, and those that are high are decreased.
In analog (usually audio) systems, reduction of the dynamic range of a signal by controlling it as a function of the inverse relationship of its instantaneous value relative to a specified reference level.
Signal compression (in dB) may be a linear or nonlinear function of the signal level across the frequency band of interest and may be essentially instantaneous or have fixed or variable delay times.

 Level set method - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The level set method was developed in the 1980s by the American mathematicians Stanley Osher and James Sethian and ever since it became very popular in many disciplines, such as image processing, computer graphics, computational geometry, optimization, and computational fluid dynamics.
Also, the level set method makes it very easy to follow shapes which change topology, for example when a shape splits in two, develops holes, or the reverse of these operations.
The boundary of the shape is then the zero level set of φ, while the shape itself is the set of points in the plane for which φ is positive or zero.

 Level design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Level design is a process used in the majority of video games in a variety of genres, such as platform games, puzzle games, adventure games, computer role-playing games and even driving games.
Level design or game mapping is the creation of levels—locales, stages, or missions—for a video game (such as a console game or computer game).
In multiplayer maps, it's problematic if a player is able to reach visible areas of the map that the level designer didn't expect them to go, for example, reaching a rooftop where players aren't usually able to go, and camping there (killing other players unexpectedly).

 A-level - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A-levels are also taken in many former British colonies, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa, Malta and the former British West Indies, although today they differ from the A-levels taken in the United Kingdom.
Therefore, with the introduction of the new revised A-levels in 2001, the grade N was finally dropped.
While many universities do not consider an A-level in General Studies to be a stand-alone subject (and thus is not accepted as part of an offer), it may affect the offer which a student receives.

 Sound pressure level - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most common means is measuring the sound pressure level from the speaker with the measuring device placed directly in front of and one meter away from the source.
Since the human ear does not have a flat spectral response, sound pressure levels are often frequency weighted so that the measured level will match perceived sound level.

 Sound
Sounds that are sine waves with a single pair of frequency and amplitude components are generally perceived as a pure tone.
Sound is defined as a mechanical compression and rarefaction or a longitudinal displacement wave that propagates through a medium (solid, liquid or gas).
While the sound may still be referred to in general use as a single frequency (for example, a piano striking the A above middle C is said to be playing a note at 440 Hz) the sound you perceive will be colored by all of the frequency components and their relative amplitudes (see timbre.)

 Knowledge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Knowledge management seeks to understand the way in which knowledge is used and traded within organisations and treats knowledge as self-referential and recursive.
On a more practical level, knowledge is commonly shared by groups of people and in this context it can be manipulated and managed in various ways.
Some methods of generating knowledge, such as trial and error, or learning from experience, tend to create highly situational knowledge.
