The location of the dehydration factory must be considered very carefully, because, whereas at one time proximity to the source of raw materials was of paramount importance, availability of an adequate labour force and the provision for effluent disposal will, perhaps, constitute a more pressing requirement. A rural environment is obviously better than a location in a highly industrialised area, because the operation involves the utilisation of a considerable amount

1. In Anthropology some insights have come from observing simpler societies and then applying what we learn to our own society a. There are some things in our society that we take for granted that are of very recent origin:

一、什么是VHDL? Very high speed integrated Hardware Description Language (VHDL) 是IEEE、工业标准硬件描述语言。 用语言的方式而非图形等方式描述硬件电路

In this lecture we will consider the equations that result from integrating Newtons second law, F=ma, in time. This will lead to the principle of linear impulse and momentum. This principle is very useful when solving problems in which we are interested in determining the global effect of a force acting on a particle over a time interval Linear momentum We consider the curvilinear motion of a particle of mass, m, under the influence of a force F. Assuming that

An accelerometer is a device used to measure linear acceleration without an external reference. The main idea has already been illustrated in the previous lecture with the example of the boy in the elevator. Clearly, if we know the weight of the boy when the acceleration is zero, we can determine from the reading on the scale the value of the acceleration. In summary, the acceleration will produce an inertial force on a test mass, and this force can be nulled and measured with precision. Below we have sketch of a very simple one axis accelerometer

Public Goods Defined Pure public goods share two characteristics Nonrival Cost of another person consuming the good is zero Nonexcludable-Very expensive to prevent others from consuming the good

One of the CLRM assumptions is: there is no perfect multicollinearity-no exact linear relationships among explanatory variables, Xs, in a multiple regression. In practice, one rarely encounters perfect multicollinearity, but cases of near or very high multicollinearity where explanatory variables are approximately linearly related frequently arise in many applications

The operational amplifier (hereafter OP-AMP)is developed in the 1940s primarily for use in analog computers, made cheaply and readily available in the late 1960s through integrated-circuit technology. The actual construction of a modern OP-AMP is indeed very complex, involving many transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors

In this chapter we introduce a circuit element that is very important in circuit design, the operational amplifier.This element will be used extensively in the studies of future chapters. Here we consider its use with resistors only to perform the algebraic functions of multiplication, addition and subtraction

The atmosphere layer is very thin compared to the size of the Earth
