We as humans feel that we need to be a part of a group‚ posse‚ click‚ crowd‚ etc. The reason behind this is we grow up believing‚ and thinking what our guardians taught us what was right and what was wrong. Which there is not a problem with this but‚ how are we supposed to learn without exploring things for ourselves as individuals? Lessing states “When we are in a group‚ we tend to think as

III.8. THE TUNNEL DIODE 1. Theory The Japanese physicist Leo Esaki invented the tunnel diode in 1958. It consists of a p-n junction with highly doped regions. Because of the thinness of the junction‚ the electrons can pass through the potential barrier of the dam layer at a suitable polarization‚ reaching the energy states on the other sides of the junction. The current-voltage characteristic of the diode is represented in Figure 1. In this sketch i p and U p are the peak‚ and iv and U v are

addition to the Burleigh drill‚ the next most impressive implementation of technology in blasting of the Hoosac Tunnel involved nitroglycerin. In 1866‚ Thomas Doane imported a liquid and unstable explosive called trinitroglycerin‚ which is called nitroglycerin in America. His decision to think outside of the box and import the substance changed many aspects of the tunneling process. The Hoosac Tunnel was the first location where the explosive was used in the United States‚ and it became an integral part

The Twin Tunnels‚ proposed by the Governor of California jerry Brown‚ are two tunnels that would run from the delta to Southern California. The project would make two tunnels‚ each about 20-40 feet in wide and around 35 miles long‚ that would be 150 feet beneath the Delta. The Twin Tunnels will be extremely expensive especially to taxpayers and very destructive to the Delta’s ecosystems. Much of California opposes them. The goal of the Twin Tunnels is to divert water from the Sacramento
