From: bahr@otago.ac.nz
Date: 9 Nov 92 00:10:04 +1300
Organization: University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand

The resonances of a conical bore have essentially the same frequencies
as an open cylindrical pipe of the same length.  Thus it has all the
harmonics - both odd and even, whereas the clarinet (a closed pipe)
has only the ODD harmonics.  So the opening of the register hole kills 
the 1st harmonic for the cone pipe and the for the cylindrical pipe, which
leaves the 2nd harmonic dominant in the first case and the 3rd in the second.
See "The Science of Sound" by T D Rossing p220 for more detail.

Does anyone have an idea on computation algorithms for early/late ratios using
the waterfall spectra commonly avaible on portable analyzers?  I have done Leq
with such analyzers using simple BASIC code in the past...

I think that it is feasible to capture 20 to 100 spectra per second, and there
ought to be a compact summing rule-of thumb to get the needed ratios in a few 
seconds with captured data on-site...

 Oops, I forgot to answer the quest here.
 The entry level CP salary, depending on how big the company is, 
 could range from as low as $29,000 to higer than $35,000.

Readings, that might help you to answer theses questions are
   IRS Publication 519 - U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens
   IRS Publication 901 - U.S. Tax Treaties

I scanned #519 briefly and it looks like only students don't
have to pay FICA taxes.  But I don't have any experience with
H-1 visas at all.  You can get the publications from the IRS.
HINT:  Go to your local IRS office, get the publications and
ask them in person.  At least in Kalamazoo they are _a lot_ more
knowledgable than the people you get by calling the 800 number.
Good luck!

 Hi folks,
 I posted something previously about the aforementioned topic.

 Now, I must be more pedantic and make some clarification before 
 anyone else starts lynching me.

The reason I said $35,000 was that it was "within 5% of 
the prevailing wage " of the academic profession :-(.
Anyways, I should have been more pedantic and precise in my note.

 So, the minimum wage is relative to the current one in any 
 particular preofession.

 Sorry for any inconvenience.

As far as I know, if you're Australian, you would not need a visa to go 
to Canada.  It's always a good idea to check with the Canadian Embassy or
Consulate to confirm if a visa is needed.  If you do need a visa to travel
to Canada, I believe you can apply for it from the Canadian Consulate in
the U.S. while you are in the country.  Again, please confirm this with
the concerned authority.  Hope this helps.
