The term is derived from the Latin root "ingenium‚" meaning "cleverness". The industrial revolution and continuing technological developments of the last few centuries have changed the connotation of the term slightly‚ resulting in the perception of engineers as applied scientists. The work of engineers is the link between

Loud music on headphones causes deafness by having a similar effect on nerves as MS Loud music played on earphones causes deafness by having a similar effect on nerves as multiple sclerosis (MS)‚ scientists have learned. New research shows that noise levels above 110 decibels strip insulation from nerve fibres carrying signals from the ear to the brain. Loss of the protective coating‚ called myelin‚ disrupts electrical nerve signals. The same process‚ this time due to an attack from the immune

Introduction Information technology has had as much impact on our society as the industrial revolution. In the information age‚ companies are finding that success or failure is increasingly dependent on their management and use of information. Therefore‚ companies need a good information system that enabled an efficient and effective use of information to give them more competitive advantage (Moscove‚ Simkin‚ & Bagranoff‚ 1999). An information system is a set of interrelated subsystems that work

The Effectiveness of Acceptances Communicated by Electronic Means‚ or — Does the Postal Acceptance Rule Apply to Email? Eliza Mik* The ‘traditional’ classification into ‘instantaneous’ and ‘non-instantaneous’ methods of communication must be abandoned. As all Internet transmissions are instantaneous‚ the choice between the principle of receipt and the postal exception must be based on other criteria. The focus must be shifted from communication devices to the characteristics of the communication

IFDMA - A Promising Multiple Access Scheme for Future Mobile Radio Systems R. Pon arun kumar. Abstract The Interleaved Frequency Division Multiple Access (IFDMA) scheme is based on compression‚ repetition and subsequent user dependent frequency shift of a modulated signal. IFDMA is a promising candidate MA scheme for non adaptive transmission in the uplink of future mobile radio systems.
