4.2 Basic principles of wireless transmission I've never quite lost the sense of wonder at the way information can be transmitted with no visible link between the sender and recipient. When I was a child I used to think that sound came through the wire linking my family's radio to the mains electricity supply (I was born before the days of battery-powered transistor radios) and I couldn't understand why my parents referred to it as 'the wireless' – since clearly it wasn't. I now know that the wire simply fed the radio with the electric
1.1 The wider context This course explores the management of local knowledge-generating practices with regard to their wider contexts. Although these local practices might be considered in terms of individuals acting and thinking as if they were autonomous, independent agents interacting with other agents, such practices are simultaneously shaped by shared skills and understandings. As Karl Marx pointed out, when the hero of Daniel Defoe's (1660–1731) novel Robinson Crusoe (Defoe, 1994, first published in
Adobe: Adobe's vision for app publishing and marketing (Long)
Nick Bogaty, Head of Digital Publishing at Adobe, discusses how mobile content marketing is essential to engage stakeholders both inside and outside of the organization – and in 2014 the trend is only expected to accelerate. Learn how to take advantage of these “mobile moments” through apps, as well as where the Digital Publishing Suite platform is headed in the future.
2.5 Clusters A striking contradiction of the internet revolution is that, although cyberspace allows firms to be located anywhere, they still seem to cluster together in global cities such as New York, London and Sydney (Castells, 2001). Four years after publishing a book proclaiming The Death of Distance, Frances Cairncross noted in the book's second edition that, ‘Economists, most of whom have long ignored or despised economic geography, are now taking a fresh interest in it’ and, after revie
1.203J Logistical and Transportation Planning Methods (MIT)
The class will cover quantitative techniques of Operations Research with emphasis on applications in transportation systems analysis (urban, air, ocean, highway, pick-up and delivery systems) and in the planning and design of logistically oriented urban service systems (e.g., fire and police departments, emergency medical services, emergency repair services). It presents a unified study of functions of random variables, geometrical probability, multi-server queueing theory, spatial location theo
The Radcliffe College Legacy
Alumnae of Radcliffe College and Harvard-Radcliffe, whose own educational experiences were characterized by excellence and inquiry, share how the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study maintains these traditions within an innovative, multidisciplinary community.
4.4.1 Diversion of effluent In some circumstances it may be possible to divert sewage effluent away from a water body in order to reduce nutrient loads. This was achieved at Lake Washington, near Seattle, USA, which is close to the sea. Lake Washington is surrounded by Seattle and its suburbs, and in 1955 a cyanobacterium, Oscitilloria rubescens, became dominant in the lake. The lake was receiving sewage effluent from about 70 000 people; this input represented about 56% of the total phosphorus load to the lake.
Assessing the Use of Advanced Daylight Simulation Modelling Tools in Enhancing the Student Learning
In architecture schools, where the ?studio culture? lies at the heart of students? learning, taught courses, particularly technology ones, are often seen as secondary or supplementary units. Successful delivery of such courses, where students can act effectively, be motivated and engaged, is a rather demanding task requiring careful planning and the use of various teaching styles. A recent challenge that faces architecture education today, and subsequently influences the way technology courses a
Celebrating 15 Years of Metamaterials
In 15 years metamaterials has brought breakthroughs like invisibility cloaks, acoustic cloaks, miniaturized flat antennas, and you-don’t-have-to-stop-anymore airport security screenings. Watch as two of the field’s founding fathers reminisce about their journey and look forward to the future. Metamaterials pioneers David R. Smith of Duke University’s Center for Metamaterials and Integrated Plasmonics and Sir John Pendry of Imperial College London discuss the birth, evolution and future of
Aanrijdingsformulier : Voorbeeldsituaties Dit zijn vier situaties die de leerlingen gebruiken om een Europees aanrijdingsformulier in te vullen. De ene leerling is voertuig A en de andere neemt voertuig B voor zijn rekening.
2.5 Summary of Section 1 England, Scotland and Wales are nations. Wales was conquered by the English in 1282 and its parliamentary union with England took place in 1536. The United Kingdom of Great Britain was formed by the Act of Union of 1707, although the term Great Britain had been in use since 1603, when James VI of Scotland became James I of England (including Wales). Later unions created the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and,
Introduction This course examines the subject of brain-based learning, with a particular focus on the development of the young child's brain and is of particular relevance to those who work with young children. We begin by looking at the structure and functions of the brain, and the impact that sensory deprivation can have on these. We consider the implications of current understandings of brain development for teaching and learning, particularly in an early years setting, and finish by exploring the valu
L'Alphabet
Presenting the fundamentals of a foreign language! Watch and learn how to correctly pronunciate the different letters of the French alphabet. Fun-times with tricky letters.
2.5 Other aspects of writing Now we will look at the way Philip and Hansa wrote and presented their essays. Did you find them both easy to read? As regards Philip's, my answer is, ‘yes and no’. It is sometimes easy because he has a fluent way with words. But it is often difficult because he does not use enough punctuation to help us make sense of his words, and because of certain mistakes he makes. I found Hansa's essay easier to read. Her writing is more technically correct and more assured than Philip's. But
Easter - He Is Risen
Jesus Christ is risen! Everything has changed and a new life from death is possible! (01:15)
4.1 PROMPT There is so much information available on the internet on every topic imaginable. But how do you know if it is any good? And if you find a lot more information than you really need, how do you decide what to keep and who to discard? In this section we are going to introduce a simple checklist to help you to judge the quality of the information you find. Before we do this, spend a few minutes thinking about what is meant by information quality. 2.9.1 Looking at a plan You will be looking at a plan of the museum in order to find your way around. Key Learning Points Understanding directions in a building Understanding what is or is not allowed Making liaisons with words beginning with ‘h’ 1.3.4 Change on a daily basis: Day unit care The importance of maintaining continuity of people and places is important in both cases. Many people attend day care services and find that the change is a stimulating experience, widening their daily contacts and allowing them to become part of another group. The issues of continuity of experience raised here will be familiar to day care workers. Click below to hear an audio clip describing Redwood Day Unit.
