The enigma of Backbone has been with us for over 30 years since Peter Laurie first referred to the use of microwave relay towers in his 1967 Sunday Times article on civil defence. Three years later he expanded the article into the groundbreaking "Beneath The City Streets" in which he says "The GPO planned a chain of concrete towers code-named Backbone which linked
Amateur Radio provides light, provides support and hope. The licenced operators of these radios, called “Hams,” are constantly training for these moments. This service was formed in recognition of, and to enhance “the value of the amateur service to the public as a voluntary noncommercial communication service, particularly with respect to providing emergency communications” (47 CFR 97.1a). This is achieved by the constant training and practice of organizations like the Amateur Radio Emergency
Wireless Technologies could be satellite links or Radio communication. They all have good and bad points to discuss. Wired Technology could include twisted pair, Fibre optic or broadband over power lines. Wireless communication has transformed the way we communicate to each other.
Forty-one years ago on April 7, 1973, Motorola engineer Martin Cooper changed the world by making the world’s first cell phone call. With a 10-inch-long, 2.5-pound phone nicknamed “the brick” he called his engineering nemesis at the much bigger company Bell Labs (Here& Now, 2014). The phone gave 30 minutes of talk time after 10 hours of recharging and it cost a grand total of $3995. In those days, the average middle-class person could not afford to buy a mobile phone. By the late 1990s, cell phones
Electromagnets can be found in blenders, microwaves, ovens, toasters, toaster ovens, dishwashers, and electric can openers. Need to do your hair? Hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons all have electromagnets in them. Electromagnets can also be found in junk yards on the cranes that pick up cars, electric bells, loudspeakers, tape recorders, VCRs, hard disks, particle accelerators, magnetic locks, drills, speakers, radios, microphones, doorbells, trains, generators, relays, and sorting out metal in junk

In other technique R-MP-MBS PER is improved and MBS synchronization is not Possible in this technique this is the only disadvantage in this technique. Both these techniques attractively gives solution for next-generation relay based wireless network. By this multicasting broadband services the data
material and to overcome physical distance of the teacher and student. These methods include various types of voice, video, data, and print. Instructional audio tools include audio-conferencing, tapes, and radio. Instruction is delivered through lectures and discussions. Tapes and radio allow the student to listen to lectures one way, whereas audio-conferencing allows students to participate and interact with others. Audio tools allow access to the learner from their choice of location; however
table. A form of electromagnetic energy includes sunlight and has a high amount of radiation which is produced by a sun. Electromagnetic radiation includes gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation (or heat), microwaves and radio waves. Since the USS NOSSTROMO is taking off from earth, radiation belts also have to be put into consideration. Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field. The magnetic filed is like the filed you see around a bar magnet when you use iron fillings
WAN: WAN is a computer network spanning a relatively large geographical area. WAN stands for: Wide area Network. WAN consists of more than two local area networks (LAN) LAN is also a computer network but unlike WAN it spans in a relatively small area such places as a home, school building, office building or computer laboratory. The most well-known or the most popular WAN is the internet. Unlike LAN, WAN is usually not owned by a single organisation or company but exists under distributed or collective
Introduction & History People imagine that telecommunications means communications using only electrical or electronic technology, but that isn't so. Telecommunication is communication over long distances, by means such as by newspapers, telephone, radio, satellite, television and the Internet. The idea of telecommunication first came from the telegraph. The word telegraphy comes from Greek. "Tele" means distant and "graphein" to write. So the meaning is writing at a distance The first form of modern

Turkey is seated on the south-western part of the Asian Continent and makes up ninety percent of its landmass. The other ten percent is located on the continent of Europe. Being that it rests between the two continents, it has a unique and diverse cultural background (Shepard, 2009). Turkey is also one of the oldest continually inhabited regions of the world. This explains the multitude of ethnic groups and cultures that mesh to create the culture of Turkey (Diana Aschner, 2009). To understand
Culture in Egypt is rich and deep. Having one of the oldest cultures dating back to before the pharaohs; Egypt’s culture is well developed and distinctive. With a religious cultured background, Egypt is developing rapidly into a restructured culture, combining old with new. An overview shows a complex structured culture built on many influences. Humanity builds around culture and is a complex system that is difficult to define due to many factors. Webster dictionary defines culture as “the

Power distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organizations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally (Central Intelligence Agency, 2015). Ireland is at the lower ranking of power distance. Ireland citizens believe that inequalities
Portugal Portugal is a country located in southwestern Europe, situated on the western portion of the Iberian Peninsula. It is bounded on the north and east by Spain, and in the south and west by the Atlantic Ocean. The total area of metropolitan Portugal is 35,655 sq mi. The capital and largest city is Lisbon. The climate in Portugal is varied with considerable rainfall and marked seasonal temperatures in north; dryer conditions in the south with mild temperatures along the coast but
Germany Throughout the history of the world, there have been many great nations to rise and make an impact on the entire globe. One of the most well known of these nations is the country of Germany. In its history, Germany has been one of the most influential countries in all of Europe. This great nation holds many geographical locations of historical significance as well as beautiful scenery. History, for centuries, has held the German people in high regard for their militaristic capabilities

The word "computer" was first recorded as being used in 1613 and was originally used to describe a human who performed calculations or computations. The definition of a computer remained the same which is an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program. Until the end of the 19th century when people began to realize machines never get tired and can perform calculations much faster and more accurately than
the computer was to create ballistic charts for the U.S. Navy. It was about half as long as a football field and contained about 500 miles of wiring. The Harvard-IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator, or Mark I for short, was an electronic relay computer. It used electromagnetic signals to move mechanical parts. The machine was slow (taking 3-5 seconds per calculation) and inflexible (in that sequences of calculations could not change); but it could perform basic arithmetic as well as more
