persecute people for transmitting the disease. In Canada‚ it is illegal to engage in sexual activities without disclosing seropositive status unless there is a use of condoms and a low viral load is present. Criminal law as prevention for the transmission of HIV seems reasonable‚ but upon examining a bit further in the topic‚ it appears that it is ineffective and might actually do more harm than good to those whom they aim to protect. Examples of those negatively affected by this law are prison

Microwave power transmission (MPT) is one of the applications of microwaves to transmit power from one place to another place without the need for wires. It is the type of the Electromagnetic Radiations‚ one of the wireless energy transfer methods. Introduction: Firstly‚ we will talk about the term Microwaves‚ Microwaves can also be termed as Radio waves having wavelengths ranging from one millimeter to one meter and the frequencies from 300MHz to 300GHz. These are also known as millimeter waves

[pic] [pic] 400 kV high-tension transmission lines near Madrid Electric power transmission or "high-voltage electric transmission" is the bulk transfer of electrical energy‚ from generating power plants to substations located near population centers. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers‚ which is typically referred

Activity 1.1.3 Gears - VEX Introduction You do not have to look far to see gears. You might not think of an object such as a computer as having a lot of moving parts‚ but the CD tray on your computer is likely controlled by gears. A traditional watch is full of gears. The watch has one source of power or input that must move multiple hands continuously and at different speeds. Some watches also keep track of the day of the month. This may be low-tech by today’s standards‚ but imagine the challenge

ABSTRACT: Transmission or distribution of 5o Hz or 60 Hz electrical energy from the generating point to the consumers’ end without any physical wire has yet to as a familiar and viable technology. This paper focuses on the past and future possible advancements in WPT and explaining why it has still not come into practical utility. Wireless energy transfer has been around for about a century‚ but as of yet has only found usage in things like electric toothbrush rechargers and specialty applications

Education as Cultural Transmission According to Anthropology & Education‚ Education is cultural transmission. "A calculated intervention in the learning process. " (Anthropology and Education‚ George & Louise Spindler). Research has shown that most of what we term as learning takes place during play. Children in many societies learn solely through observing‚ playing and occasionally asking. As far as Formal Schooling‚ for groups of similarly treated individuals schooling works well for the

What is mother-to-child transmission? Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) is when an HIV-infected woman passes the virus to her baby. This can occur during pregnancy‚ labour and delivery‚ or breastfeeding. Without treatment‚ around 15-30% of babies born to HIV positive women will become infected with HIV during pregnancy and delivery. A further 5-20% will become infected through breastfeeding.1 Is MTCT a major problem? In 2008‚ around 430‚000 children under 15 became infected with HIV‚ mainly

Neural & Synaptic Transmission The nervous system is made up of neurons and glila cells. Neurons are the basic communication links in the nervous system. Glila cell provide support for neurons and contribute to communication. Neurons normally transmit a neural impulse (an electric current) along an axon to a synapse with another neuron. The neural impulse is a brief change in neuron’s electrical charge that moves along an axon. It is an all-or-none event. Action potential triggers

FM TRANSMISSION SYSTEM The basic communications system has: Transmitter: The sub-system that takes the information signal and processes it prior to transmission. The transmitter modulates the information onto a carrier signal‚ amplifies the signal and broadcasts it over the channel Channel: The medium which transports the modulated signal to the receiver. Air acts as the channel for broadcasts like radio. Receiver: The sub-system that takes in the transmitted signal from the channel
