The ubiquitous climate change and the attendant consequences in the forms of flash floods, earthquakes, tsunamis etc has further intensified efforts at seeking alternative sources of energy to the currently used fossil fuels that contribute so much to the deterioration of the environment and the menace of climate change. The alternative forms of energy, termed green energy are renewable sources of energy e.g. solar energy. Theses green sources of energy do not contribute to the deterioration of the environment. The industrial production of hydrogen gas H2 is dependent on heavy use of fossil fuel-generated electricity to power the process

The concert by the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble at the Bryan Hall Theatre in Pullman, Washington was certainly an eye opener to me in the wide variety of works which were presented as well as the standard of performance. The first work on the programme was the Carpathian Sketches by Robert Jager who was born in 1939. This came across as intriguing and full of passion with David Turnbull conducting with great alacrity. Next came Llwn Onn by Brian Hogg (born in 1953). This is a curiously lopsided work based on a particular folk tune which also came

Introduction

As per ohm’s law V= IR is the basic relationship between current, voltage and resistance. In case of a circuit having very high resistance the current flow is very low. In such cases, voltage drop across resistance is proportional to the value of the resistances. For example, if the total voltage is V and there are two resistances R1 and R2 connected in parallel in the circuit across the voltage and if the voltage measured across each resistors are V1 and V2 then V1/ V2 = R2/R1.

Sample Calculations –
There are different types of resistances. Resistances with a

Introduction to antennas

Traditionally, people had problem with communication especially where it involved long distances. Wireless communication began in 1901, when Marconi received the first radio signal across the Atlantic Ocean. From that period, technology kept on advancing until the development of the present day antennas. Antennas form the basic components of any communication system that changes energy from one form into another. A receiving antenna changes electromagnetic energy into electric or magnetic energy. They work through transmitting RF signal that travels on a conductor into an electromagnetic wave in free space. An antenna maintains the same characteristic regardless of whether in

Polyvinylidene fluoride polymer first exhibited the piezoelectric effect in the year 1969 followed by the pyroelectric effect some years later, leading to the development of numerous applications of pyroelectricity and piezoelectricity. PVDF possesses many attractive features as a tactile or touch sensor. Tactile sensors can be used to monitor skin conditions. They find use in minimally invasive surgery. Tanaka et al. developed an active palpitation sensor to detect hypertrophy and prostate cancer. Pyroelectric and piezoelectric polymers help in energy conversion. The Energy Harvesting Eel device created by Taylor et al. used piezoelectric polymers for the conversion of mechanical flow

The event started with a Pasodoble named Amparito Roca. Though the performance was good, it was slow and failed to impress me.

The song named ‘Autumn Solliloquy’ by James Barnes wasn’t familiar to me. But I felt an instant and intense connection to the starting music of the song. The talent that James Barnes was blessed as a composer and lyricist was

NITROGEN AND COPPER DOPED SOLAR LIGHT ACTIVE TIO2 PHOTOCATALYSTS FOR WATER DECONTAMINATION

Abstract:
A new category of photocatalytic coating that can degrade chemical as well as bacterial contaminants under visible sunlight wavelengths was generated by the deposition of a stable photocatalytic TiO2 film over the internal lumen of glass bottles by means of a sol–gel technique. Such a coating was produced either in doped or undoped form. This coating used copper and/ or nitrogen for producing visible light-active TiO2 films that were normalized or annealed at 600 ◦C and were characterized by Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The degradation of methylene blue was seen to accelerate with doped and undoped

John Nastos, on Saxophone, was also very calm, and contributed a great deal to the atmosphere. Julana Torres was on vocals, and was

Lab Report (Kirchhoff’s Laws)

Introduction
This lab experiment was intended to learn and apply Kirchhoff’s Rules in calculating the current and voltages in a circuit. To achieve this, a circuit is built consisting of resistors that are in parallel and series which will aid to test the different aspects of Kirchhoff’s Rule.

The simplest circuit is that which can be reduced to an equivalent circuit having a single resistance

and a single voltage source. Many circuits are not simple and require the use of Kirchhoff’s

Laws to determine voltage, current, or resistance.

Objectives:
forecast by Kirchhoff’s Laws.

Theory:

A junction is a point in a circuit where more than three wires join or where a current gets divided.
A loop is a path which

Multiplexing is a method of transmitting multiple analog or digital data signals by combining them into one signal using a single physical medium. The single medium relays the data in high-speed.
A multiplexer is the device that is used to combines the multiple low-speed signals and puts them in the high-speed channel. Another device called a DE multiplexer then separates the high-speed signal and extracts the original channels on the receiver side.
The reason for multiplexing is mainly to share the high-speed channel which is usually expensive but faster and very efficient. Multiplexing originated with telegraphs and is commonly
