Introduction

The invention of mobile phones aimed at developing gadgets that could connect wirelessly to the public network. Communication through radio calls started some decades ago and was popular even during the 2nd World War. However, the use of wireless, portable, devices that can connect to a standard telephony network is much recent. Ideally, the first handheld telephone was launched by Motorola in 1973 (O’Shea, 2009). The first wireless, handheld gadgets were hardly portable, had a short talk time and took long to charge fully. Evidently, the first devices were less efficient compared to modern mobile phones.

1. The molecule chosen for the analysis is Immunicillin -H. It is a transition state analogue for the enzyme purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP). Chemically Immunicillin -H is [(1S)-1-(9-deazahypozanthine-9yl)-1,4-dideoxy-1,4-imino-D-ribitol] (Kicska et al. 2001) 2. PNP is important for the degradation of nucleotides, especially deoxy guanosine. In the absence of this enzyme, deoxy guanosine accumulates and inhibits T cell function, causing T cell mediated immunosuppression. Inhibitors of PNP were found useful in treating T cell malignancies. Inhibiting PNP using transition state analogue, triggers apoptosis of T cells. Though Immunicillin-H inhibits stimulated malignant and nonmalignant T cells, ...

A picture is worth a thousand words, definitely pictures can express human thoughts, emotions and dreams that can never be uttered by the lips. Back then, people can record physical appearance and historical events through paintings. On the other hand, a Frenchman named Joseph Niepce took the first permanent photograph in 1827 (Madgwick, 28). Photography made it easier for people to record history without resorting to paint the entire scenery that they see. Rich men and women, especially those who belong to the aristocracy choose photography for their personal portraits; adding a touch of modernism to their noble countenance. In short, the ...

A PID system refers to a control system with a proportional, differentiator, integrator gain respectively. The PID measures the process variables and compares them with the set point. The controller then attempts to reduce the error accordingly, based on the predesigned algorithm. Proportional, integrator, and differentiator are independent parameters. However, they are designed to work separately or together to improve the stability of the system. These parameters reduce improve the stability by reducing the overshoot and the error within the system. This project intends to explore major applications of a PID controller and the approach that is used to improve the stability ...

Introduction

An industry is a group of manufacturers who produce and sell a common product. Products produced have the same consumption purpose but differ on the ingredients and packaging. In addition, products from a certain company are inscribed with company logos and coded with batch numbers. Products from the same industry act as substitutes to each other. Therefore, producers sell them at close-range prices to counter the competitive force of rival producers. Consumers are rational in their consumption behavior and, therefore, will select the best product being sold at an affordable price. (Parker, 2005). Different industries operate under a given set of regulations that ...

(Course No.) (City & State) A recommended solution for Karaaka is fiber optic connection. Fiber optic networks operate at high speeds of up to gigabits thereby providing considerably high data rates. In addition, fiber optics has the advantage of transmitting signals over long distances unaffected. Analogue systems provide a host of challenges in transmission and distribution. In analogue implementation, the logical and physical connections are one and the same implying that most connections are point-to-point with each cable representing individual channels. Analogue audio for instance requires copper cables for signals, but these systems offer little flexibility to accommodate ...

Wireless communication refers to transmission of data or signals via electromagnetic waves. In other words, it is a form of communication that does not involve the use of wires. Instead, radio and microwaves are used to transfer data or signal from one device to another. The first wireless transmission system was developed in early 20th century. This system used Morse code which was a combination of dots and dashes or long and short electric signals assigned to each letter of the English alphabet. The signals were sent and received via wires. This enabled transmission of text based information over a long distance. ...

Digital radio broadcasting is now common over the internet. This is done when the analogue signal of the audio is digitized and is compressed into formats like mp2 (Johnson, 2013). After which, these files are transmitted to listeners through something known as a digital modulation scheme. The aim of digitizing radio is to improve the audio quality and to make it more accessible. This in turn can increase the number of radio programs available to listeners in a given region. There are generally two formats of digital radio, the first is Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), which is used in digital radio ...

Introduction

As people grow old, they are highly likely to develop conditions which predispose them to intermittent acute pain or importunate pain states. In reference to Cunningham et al. (2010) the impact of dementia on processing of pain is different in different types of pain and the stage of dementia. Cunningham et al. (2010) conclude that there is a high possibility of under-detection of pain among individuals with dementia more so to those who have limited verbal communication. The assessment of cognitive status of individuals with dementia is critical in determining the pain assessment to use. The paper intends to illustrate ...

Introduction

New knowledge is created through the process of research. Very few people dispute the fact that digital technology is fundamentally transforming the way in which we engage in attainment of knowledge through the research process. This question was correctly posed by Belisle (2006, 55). Indeed, it is becoming apparent that knowledge and research is increasingly being arbitrated through the employment of digital technology. Among the many proponents of this fact, a number of them insist that digital technology is slowly progressively transforming the processes of conducting research. The way human beings think and gain knowledge is also under ...

Introduction

Fourier analysis is a field of mathematics that studies how general functions can be approximated or represented by the addition of simple trigonometric functions. Fourier analysis is named after a man who proved that representing a mathematical function in the form of a sum of a trigonometric function simplifies the inquiry into heat propagation. Joseph Fourier envisioned the Fourier series, a concept from which Fourier analysis grew. Presently, vast spectrums of mathematics involve Fourier analysis as a subject. The subject spans through the field of engineering and sciences. In these two fields, Fourier analysis involves the process through which a function is decomposed into simpler functions. The ...

For André Bazin, the famous film critic and theorist from France, cinemas were a realist medium. This is why majority of film theorists would perhaps argue that that if he got a look at the computer-animated film WALL·E (2008) by Disney/Pixar, he would turn over in his grave. His theories revolved around the notion that there is always a mummy complex underlying the origin of any form of art, including cinema. Bazin’s notion suggests that art struggles to immortalize the mortal, to preserve the physical existence on screen. According to Bazin, the medium that eliminates most of the distance between ...
