...Two examples from practical life are listed below: 1. USS Forrestal was involved in one of the worst cases of electromagnetic interference (EMI) in 1967. A military air craft when exposed to a ship’s radar accidentally fired its munitions hitting a fully armed and fueled aircraft on the deck. This resulted in extensive damage and 134 deaths. The cause of the accident, later discovered, was a degraded cable shield termination on the landing aircraft. [3] 2. A heart attack victim, aged 93 died in the back of ambulance due to the interference of radio transmitter used in the vehicle with monitor and defibrillator. The interference caused the equipment to shut down. Later discovered that the roof of the ambulance made of metal fiberglass allowed high levels of radiated radio fields inside the patient. [3] Information Leaks via EMR EMR that is emitted contains information related to the device which is emitting the radiations. The information can be data stored, processed...

...More than quantity of explosives used, peak particle velocity and frequency of vibration after blasts were varying with changes in compressive strength of the rock and its soundness. The symmetry among parameters was apt for application of a Multi-Variable regression Model to derive out the optimum charge factor for a particular type of rock deposition and premeditated levels of blast induced ground vibrations. A regression model establishes the relationship between two or more variables based on their given interdependent in behavior. For example, a dependent parameter (Y) is in some relationship with two independent Variables X, and X2,the regression equation can be written as- Y=aX1 + bX2 + c, where a and b are called coefficients for independent variables and c is called intercept. These coefficients and variables may bear any algebraic sign and may or may not follow a normal distribution. Based on output of the Regression Model the formula can be written as...

...Dirty Bomb detonates at the Mall of America Robert Capponi HSM320 Erik Stone 16 November 2015 Dirty Bomb detonates at the Mall of America A radiological dispersion device (dirty bomb) has been detonated in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota on the day after Thanksgiving which is known as “Black Friday”. Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year and malls and shopping centers all over the country are severely crowed with people taking advantage of sales and special offers on merchandize for the holiday season. A dirty bomb is a very effective terror weapon because it combines the mass lethality of an explosive device, plus exposure to radiation; this device causes mass fear and panic in a population and could have a serious effect on the nearby area and environment. A dirty bomb is a type of radiological dispersion device (RDD) which combines some type of explosive combined with some type of radioactive material. The explosive element of a dirty bomb will produce the most amount of damage and causalities depending on the amount and type of explosive material and shrapnel used. There is usually not enough radiation to kill or cause severe illness depending on the radioactive material; the type of radiation that is used and the amount of exposure to the victims. Depending the situation though a dirty bomb can cause a great deal of panic, fear and chaos, including contamination of buildings and property. ...

...beginning of 2000s, and a lot of people grew up listening to this music. Therefore as a big fan, I was privileged to attend one of Limp Bizkit's concerts in New York City. The show took place at Best Buy Theater on October 8th, 2014. People from various backgrounds came to see the show. Moreover, even true old school fans, who were 12-15 years old in 90s-2000s when they started listening Limp Bizkit visited the concert. However, fans who would be considered Newbies (just recently started listening Limp Bizkit) seemed to have a blast at the event. Everyone was ready to make the memories of a lifetime. When the curtain fell down the crowd went crazy. Forever young front man Fred Durst with his famous cap, guitarist Wes Borland with the whole body painted in black, drummer John Otto, and bassist Sam Rivers stepped on the stage. The show began. Hundreds of voices sang familiar lyrics, hundreds of feet simultaneously began to stomp, and hundreds of hands were raised up in the sky to the rhythm of Limp Bizkit's jam! Limp Bizkit played their best hits as well as the songs from the early career. Rap-metal charge of Limp Bizkit reacted with the energy of the crowd, and detonated with the two-hour blast. The sound of band’s live performance was worth of praise. It was as close as possible to the studio recordings. The volume was arranged perfectly, therefore, it was easy to hear every beat from any corner of the...

...combat loads. One of the combat jumps had to be at night so that we could earn our jump wings. I woke up at “zero dark thirty”; a phrase that means before dawn in the army. I rolled out of bed sore from the two weeks of five mile runs every morning in full uniform and boots. My legs hurt from jumping from platforms and throwing myself to the ground learning to land correctly. I stood in formation, half asleep, while the airborne instructors briefed us for the events of the day. The airborne instructors are called Black Hats because of the black baseball caps that they wear with their rank and wings pinned to the front. That morning, our class had to jog three miles to the air field to get our Jump Master brief. I felt a slight chill in my bones on the cold spring morning. It might even have been due to my nervousness. The first Sergeant called the class to attention and ordered us to right face and we jogged down the road to the air field. Once we got there, we stood in formation. I saw the C130s before us on the runway. They are the Army’s largest airplane. This massive plane is oddly very graceful when it lands, like a duck landing...

...Week 1 Essay – Introduction Forum Good morning class! My name is Erik Murdock and I’m pretty excited to be starting this class with all of you! I’m currently in the final stages of earning my BS degree in Space Studies (with a minor in Intelligence Studies), and this class is getting me one big step closer to a dream of mine, that is to earn a commissioning in the US Air Force. This course and indeed, this degree would be a huge help, as one of the commissioning paths I’ll be applying for is Space Operations. I’ve been in the Air Force since 2004, and have loved it (more or less) every day since my oath of enlistment. While I originally signed up to be an Arabic Linguist, the greatest thing to ever happen to me in my career was that I failed out of that line of work and was selected for my current career. My current career entails signals analysis of a communications nature, and has taken me all around the world doing a bunch of really fun and exciting missions. I’ve deployed to Iraq and had a blast working a Counterintelligence/Human Intelligence mission, I’ve worked both space and cyberspace fields, and loved it all. Since last year I’ve working to share this passion and experience with other students, as I’m an instructor for my career’s capstone course in Pensacola, Florida. I was recently moved to be Course Supervisor, so needless to say, work is very demanding and busy! During the times that I’m not early to work and late to home, I’m a very proud single father...

...According to some, the 19th century was a time of great change. Advances in science and technology induced much of this change and had wide spread effects on society. Some of the social changes resulting from the advancement in science and technology during the 19th century that were recognized included the industrial growth. By 1850, western and central Europe were developing a middle class population of industrial professionals. Due to the invention of usable electricity, steel, steam and petroleum products, there was confidence in human progress among this middle class that profoundly changed their day to day lives. This confidence brought about optimism and growth of individualism, which influenced their values, gender roles and the...

For those who do not know, Good Kid Maad City was a classic hip hop album, and this album was not the Mullholland Drive of music, it was more like a Goodfellas, which means it was a fantastic straightforward beauty. For example, we studied content in the first semester class, we looked at what makes a film good and why, it was a basic thinking process and this was the “swimming pool” (a more mainstream song that is just for fun...

...It was January 1901. A blast of black gold shot 100 ft into the air, making the prospectors who harvested it millionaires. Anthony F. Lucas was drilling at Spindletop hill. Although others have drilled and failed, he was determined that there was oil in the area. He drilled for 3 months and pretty soon oil gushed out of the hill at a rate of 100,000 barrels a day for 9 days straight. An ordinary man has became a millionaire and soon others got that same idea. This kickstarted the Texas oil boom and brought vast income and social change. Texas was changing. Whether they liked it or not. The change that should get the most amount of time should be the jobs that allowed African americans and other minorities Thanks to the oil the more wealthy people were able to afford to allow a lower class citizen to clean the house for a dollar an hour, as opposed to a working in East Texas: “Ten dollars a week was a good wage back in east Texas.”(Doc C) The increased wage allow the less wealthy people to become able to afford to go to college and soon enough, more immigrants and african Americans were getting college tuition....

In the context of the course requirements, the class is expected to engage with an organization to take an informed action in the form of suggestion or editorial. I have chosen Metropolitan Museum of Arts as my organization. The Metropolitan Museum of Arts is a tremendous resource of collection and exhibits collected from all over the world and makes connections to the world history and culture. The Met Museum explores the world art and history from various perspectives as captured by transnational artists, painters and photographers. The 1945’s atomic bomb dropping on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a changing point of history. The bombs caused a widespread destruction in both cities almost flattening them to the ground. This was the point when World War II came to the conclusion with Japan’s surrender. It was also the time of the rise of the bipolar world and cold war era in which the nuclear paranoia was at the top. The atomic bombs of 1945 embedded much of the nuclear frenzy during the cold war and the depictions and narratives of eye-witnesses were used to describe the weapon and make preparatory strategies. Also, the bombings had a long-lasting impact on the economy of the affected...
