The Global Positioning System involves the use of transmission of at least 4 radio wave signals from a "constellation" of 24 earth-orbiting satellites at one time. A Global Positioning System (GPS) unit consists of a space segment‚ a control segment‚ and a user segment. The space segment is a constellation of two-dozen satellites orbiting the earth twice every 24 hours‚ at approximately 10‚900 nautical miles above the earth ’s surface.

In the novel‚ The Wave‚ Todd Strasser demonstrates the power and influence of group pressure on individuals. Members of a History class learning about World War II‚ question the teacher‚ Mr. Ross‚ why didn’t any countries stand up against the Nazis. He cannot find the perfect answer. He decides to do a "harmless" experiment. In the following paragraphs‚ I will compare and contrast the "experiment" in The Wave to the historic movement in Nazi Germany. The classroom and the political agenda of the

American Telephone and Telegraph Company Coupled Wave Theory for Thick Hologram Gratings By HERWIG KOGELNIK (Manuscript received A thick May 23‚ 1969) coupled wave analysis is given of the Bragg diffraction of light by hologram gratings‚ which is analogous to Phariseau ’s treatment of acoustic gratings and to the "dynamical" theory of X-ray diffraction. The theory remains valid for large diffraction efficiencies where the incident wave is strongly depleted. It is reflection holograms
