Logarithms can have any base you want and changing between them
is easy.  Base 10 and base e are just two convenient bases.

Use "log" to mean base 10 logarithms.
Use "ln"  to mean base e  logartiths.
Then, as a specialization of general logarithmic properties

log(x) = ln(x) / ln(10) = log(e) * ln(x) = 0.4342944819 * ln(x)
