CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The upper part of atmosphere above 50 km is of importance to mankind. It acts as a shield to extreme ultraviolet and x-radiations harmful to human life. It also plays an important role in communication and navigation. The regions of atmosphere are defined in terms of ionization, temperature and composition. In terms of ionization, the region extending from 50 to 1000 km above the earth surface is called ionosphere. It consists of weakly ionized gas containing a large number

to be done by people at home. Evidently there are valid reasons for Yew Trees to be propagated. The two methods used to propagate Yew are the cutting/rooting method and the seed method. The more commonly used (and usually easier) method is the propagation by cutting method. Cuttings are taken from an older Yew tree, treated with a growth hormone (which is not mandatory), potted and then placed in either a greenhouse with a mist system or a cold frame. The cutting would eventually begin to root and
speed frequency. The amplitude is the wave height, whereas the wavelength is the distance between the two peaks. The frequency is the sum waves passing through a single point in a single unit of time. The frequency depends on the speed of wave propagation. hence, the speed of the electromagnetic energy is constant. Electromagnetic energy has a very important role in everyday life. It can be seen from the field of technology, information, communication and in the field of health. Example in the field
Radios are the most common wireless item in existence and are in most homes. We use them for entertainment, communication, as an information source, or even just back ground noise. For many of us radios are almost a necessity, but how much do we know about how they function? Antennas are one of the key pieces to a radio. Antennas come in a variety of shapes and sizes; they vary from large arrays to a small wire. Much of this variance is based on the broad use of radio waves and practicality; for
Introduction Body area networks (BAN) are a form of wireless personal area network (WPAN) and it has recently been accepted as 4th generation mobile communications systems taking the form of human to human networking incorporating wearable sensors and communication. BAN is normally thought of as wireless sensor networks (WSN) however in this paper we try to elaborate on how BAN works. BAN can take various forms, it incorporates the use of sensors which can be found in, on or around the body and it
Lee De Forest Lee De Forest was born Aug. 26, 1873, Council Bluffs, Iowa. De Forest was the son of a Congregational minister. His father moved the family to Alabama and there assumed the presidency of the nearly bankrupt Talladega College for Negroes. Excluded by citizens of the white community who resented his father's efforts to educate blacks, Lee and his brother and sister made friends from among the black children of the town and spent a happy although sternly disciplined childhood in this
individual huddled around a radio listening to anything and everything. It could be a baseball game, a radio drama, a commercial or even the president of the United States for that matter. The fact is the radio has serious impact on the lives of American’s as well as other people’s lives all around the globe. The radio in its current version as with many other technologies like it, evolved into the profile it now holds. Born out of the development of the telegraph, the radio was a kind of wireless telegraph

Outdoor work has always been important to me, both on the farm and off it. As someone who enjoys working with my hands to accomplish something that is challenging and productive, horticulture was a natural field for me to look into as a career. Horticulture requires both physical strength and mental ability that is practical and based on solving a real-life problem, rather than simply being an intellectual exercise or on arbitrary conditions. Horticulture as a term is a rather broad definition of
Introduction The flowering dogwood, Cornus florida, is an iconic spring flower with beautiful pink or white blooms. Commonly growing in zones 5 through 9 in the United States, the dogwood can grow 20 to 35 feet tall and spread 25 to 30 feet. This beautiful tree with glossy green leaves can act as a beautiful centerpiece to any Flowering dogwood Flowering Dogwood Blossom http://www.carolinanature.com/trees/cofl.html garden and gives optimal shade.

Kristie Norton Professor McGuire World Civilization 2 May 5, 2014 The Carbon Microphone Amplifying a person’s voice is a sufficient way of transmitting effective communication from a source to a receiver. Since the development of the carbon microphone, the progression of voice clarity via broadcasting systems has become much more efficient. The carbon microphone is also often referred to as the button microphone or carbon transmitter (“History of Microphones”). Although this specific microphone
television and radio, has endured an interesting and tumultuous past, and most importantly faces a fascinating future in terms their unique funding model. That being said, the models of both television and radio in South Africa leads one to question the effectiveness of the broadcast system in providing news and content that is fair, unbiased and most importantly critical in helping members of the community make informed decisions about their own country. Beginning in 1923, radio was the only
The dangers of the electromagnetic can be low on danger and high on danger. Depending on the amount of how much the body absorbs verifies the lethality of the EMFs. Humans are extremely sensitive to EMFs. Yes if a person absorbs too much energy it can lead potential to death, but if they absorb small portions it can lead can lead to nausea, paranoia, and many more small affects. The US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has issued cautionary advisories on EMFs. Everyone
A single frequency radio wave does not transmit any information. In order for information to be transferred, the frequency needs to vary in time. The range of frequencies that a single channel can occupy is what is known as its bandwidth. In order to allow for multiple calls to be handled by a single base station, multiplexing techniques are used which are ways of combining multiple signals. The four main techniques include: frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access
technology contributed to economic prosperity and improved American lives in every conceivable way. The first major invention was the commercial radio channel. In 1920, the Pittsburgh company KDKA broadcast that Warren G. Harding had won the presidential election against James M. Cox. This broadcast caused radios to increase in popularity. This improvement in radio was the only major development in sound technology; most people were working on visual transmissions at this time. The first half-tone photograph
1920s Technology The radio revolutionised the way families spent time together and receive information. The movie theaters had an impact on how people forgot about the depression and made life seem better. Many homes in the 1920s also just got access to electricity while many homes were still lit by candle light, but became more prominent as the time period continued. Labor saving appliances of the 1920s made the household chores easy to accomplish than it used to be. The 1920s was enriched by many
user and have been assessing the dangers associated with the use of cell phones, including the potential to cause types of cancer. The cause for this concern, according to the National Cancer Institute, is that cell phones emit radiofrequency energy (radio waves), a form of electromagnetic radiation, and tissues nearest to where the phone is being held can absorb this form of radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is categorised into ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and being exposed to ionizing radiation
‘Liveness’ is a unique quality that has almost always been exclusive to the medium of television, only ever really being shared with radio, and more recently the internet. When it comes to televisions ‘liveness’ its clear to see that it has been its distinguishing feature amongst other visual mediums. However, Marriot stated that By the end of the twentieth century most television transmission on most channels were no longer live.” (Marriot, 2007) thus suggesting that televisions once key feature
Health Risks of Cell Phones Health risks have started to be associated with radiation exposure from certain technological devices. Cell phones are popular in society today. Ever since the discovery of the device back in the late 1900’s, people have been interested in what they can do. Over the years cell phones have developed into bigger and better objects. Researchers have helped to make cell phones appealing to all ages in society. Cell phones have become easier to use because of the size, shape
