  Radiation Therapy / Possible Side Effects
Another common side effect during radiation treatment is nausea, and possibly vomiting.
Side effects that occur with any one type of radiation treatment may be different from person to person.
Although there is increasing concern about the dangers of radiation and the possible side effects of the treatment, with continued improvement of the technology and the experience of doctors in properly using the machines, the risks of radiation treatment are becoming much smaller and are greatly outweighed by the benefits.

  Sound effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Samples of such vintage sound effects can occasionally be heard in early audio recordings of Vaudeville acts, although by contemporary accounts the effects in the primitive early recording studios were less elaborate than those in theaters.
Large libraries of commercial sound effects are available to content producers (such as the famous Wilhelm scream), but on large projects sound effects may be custom-recorded for the purpose.
The best sound effects originate from original sources; the best sounds of machine-gun fire are original recordings of actual machine guns, as opposed to a synthesized or sampled and sequenced effect of a machine gun.

 Effects unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Effects units are devices that affect the sound of an electric instrument when plugged in to the electrical signal path the instrument sends, most often an electric guitar or bass guitar.
An effects unit consists of one or more electronic devices which typically contain analog circuitry for processing audio signals, similar to that found in music synthesizers, for example active and passive filters, envelope followers, voltage-controlled oscillators, or digital delays.
Effects units are packaged by their manufacturers, and used by musicians, in various sizes, the most common of which are the stomp-box and the rack-mount unit.

The unit enables the picture to be wiped to fl at the end of a track, and then restored at the beginning of the next track.
As described this unit does not fade the sound, however it would be a simple matter to add a second slider control next to the existing one, and operate both simultaneously.
The front panel controls on this unit may be mounted separately from the remainder of the circuit, and connected by a length of thin 12 core cable.

 A Tube power amp is like a distortion box; put time-based effects *after* it for clarity
The professional approach to top-notch effects during a live gig is to run the time-based effects in the effects loop *of the mixing board*, and let the sound-man control these time-based effects.
Time-based effects do not belong in front of a tube amp, so no amount of rearranging the effects (before the amp) can produce the desired Tone, which is a combination of echo and tube-amp saturation which preserves the clarity of the tube amp saturation.
The only multieffects unit I know of that (inadvertently) permits ideal, post-amp time-fx placement is the 2101, by putting a mic'd tube amp in the FX loop *of the fx unit* (that loop is between the distortion and the time-fx stages).

 Visual Studio Magazine - Write Unit Tests   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The premise for unit testing is that you write discrete tests to test your application's functionality.
My introduction to unit testing came when I began working on an Extreme Programming (XP) project (see the sidebar, "Take Programming to an Extreme").
For example, if you have a component consisting of one public class and 10 private classes, you write unit tests for all 11 classes, not only the one public class.

 Ciba sells textile effects unit to Huntsman - Boston.com
They had rallied earlier this month on talk the Basel-based firm had found a buyer for the unit, a week after it said it was still considering its options.
The textile effects unit produces dyes and other chemicals for the textile industry and has been struggling with increasing competition from lower-price Asian producers.
Ciba, which bought Finland's Raisio Chemicals in late 2004 to become the global leader in the paper treatment industry, aims for an EBITDA margin at the unit of 14 to 15 percent after 12 percent in 2005.

 TIME TO GET WET
In this case, connect the mixer's effects-send outputs to the effect unit's inputs; then, connect the effect unit's outputs to the mixer's effects-return inputs.
Synchronized effects are tempo-based effects, such as delay and phasing, that are rhythmic and require some tweaking to lock to the beat.
Getting the effect to work with a song is usually a matter of adjusting the effect's delay times and rate at which a parameter cycles (when such parameters are given as note values, they're a breeze to set).

 Chemotherapy / Possible Side Effects
The known side effects of chemotherapy are caused by the cell killing effect of anti-cancer drugs.
Fatigue may also be a result of a lot of energy being used by the body to recover from the effects of the drugs, disposing of dead cells and building new cells.
Such side effects as nose bleeds, bleeding gums, blood in the urine or stool, and unusually heavy menstrual flow, may be experienced by the patient receiving chemotherapy.

 MULTI STORY
However, effects units are now starting to include resonant filters as standard, and by linking these to a MIDI triggered envelope, or by making them track the input signal's envelope, you can add synth-like filter sweeps to instruments that have no filters of their own.
Depending on the effects unit you're using, this may be done using SysEx or MIDI controllers, the latter being by far the easiest to manage, as you can set up a page of controller faders in your sequencer, or use a keyboard controller such as a joystick or wheel.
Some tasks, such as assigning effects blocks and changing routing, may still have to be done from the front panel, but you should still be able to use controllers to fine-tune the effects.

 Guitar Player - Effects Loops
This means that the effects unit should be essentially transparent, and not mess with your tone.
Adjust the effects unit output level to match the volume you heard before connecting the return cable.
Optimizing performance: You must set the effects unit for 100-percent wet signal, because the dry output signal of many effects units is out of phase with the input signal, and mixing the out-of-phase signal back in with the dry signal can seriously mess with your tone.

 Minimising Mixer And Effects Noise
Frequently, though, the entire blame for excess noise doesn't rest with the effects units themselves, but is a result of not enough attention being paid to proper gain structure within the mixer, and to ensuring that nothing reaches the effects unit that shouldn't.
A better option is to drive the effects unit from the channel direct output (which is generally post-fader), or, if you don't have a direct output jack, use the insert point.
Set the threshold so that the compressor limits at a level just before that at which the effects unit overloads, and you should be able to increase the average signal being fed into the effects unit quite noticeably.

Effects are great although the pitch shifter could have been a little more realistic.
Effects are acceptably clean and the simulated amp sounds make an interesting difference.The pitch function is a bummer when set to produce an octave below the guitar note.
Effects have an average of 3 params, and include a whole bunch of distortions, reverbs, modulations, and delays, as well as an expression pedal and a gate (noise reduction).

If there are a number of different types of the same effect (reverb, for instance, there are usually versions of the reverb that require less processing power at a slight expense to sound quality.
Some multi-effect units have preset effect chains, and you only have the ability to change the parameters within the effects.
Although not quite as vogue today is it as then, tremolo is a useful and often subtle effect that can add a hit of animation to a sound.

 Tech Tips: Connecting multi-effect processors to older tube amps | Sweetwater.com
The input of your amp and your multi-effects unit both want to have the guitar plugged directly into them, and they both want to have their outputs sent directly to a power amp, which in turn drives the speakers.
The effect send of many of these amps is a relatively low level -10 dBV signal so make sure you crank up the gain to the effect enough to drive it properly, which shouldn't be an issue with most boxes.
Finally the output of your effect unit is returned to the amp through its loop return as normal.

 Marketing Science Institute: Report Summary 02-107   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
It is well known that temporary price cuts and other promotions often result in large sales effects for a promoted item, and that these effects—such as brand switching, stockpiling, category switching, increased consumption, and store switching—differ in attractiveness to the manufacturer and retailer.
They estimate these sales effects under four separate price discount conditions (without support, with feature-only support, with display-only support, and with feature and display support) and allow the decomposition for each support type to depend on the magnitude of a price discount.
The empirical results show that the percent of the unit sales effect attributable to other brands, on average, is far less than the amount inferred from elasticity decompositions.

 ART FXR: Harmony Central User Reviews
I like the unit because it is true stereo and you can tell in the reverbs when you are switching between a mono and stereo in.
Dual effects output (this is mono times two.) You can have a reverb on the left output and a chorus on the right output.
However, don't plan on being able to quickly change the effects from song to song in a live setting, because the rotary dial has a little teeny knob with little teeny lines that point to the effect name or description written in little teeny letters.

 Guitar effects - Ernie Ball Forums
Thing is, I just need an effects unit that can add some extra quality to my amp sound (Marshall JCM2000 TSL100), especially to the clean channel (and maby some chorus or delay and stuff to the distorted channels).
I've never used the TC stuff, but from the effects units I have used I've found Rocktron to be the best sounding.
Although l don't use that many effects on it anymore, l used to but have gone back to a basic guitar amp sound, and just use a bit of delay on my lead sound, some delay maybe some chorus for my rhythm channel, and some chorus on my clean channel.

In my opinion, the unit that would give you the optimum point between value-for-money and performance is the TC Electronic M300.
The multi effects are very useful for live work - especially the delays (not to mention the incredibly handy "tap" button on the front for setting delay time).
There's a tiny switch that changes the bank of effects you're working on, then a rotary knob to select the specific patch within that bank.
