...Topics : Sound Generation Introduction: From 'O' level physics, you have learned that sound is the vibration of air within the frequencies of range of 20 Hz. to 20KHz. If we can generate these air waves, we can make sound. A loud speaker is made up of a moving coil wound round a permanent magnet as shown in Figure 1. When an alternating current passes through the moving coil (also known as voice coil), a force is transmitted to the paper cone. The moving cone produces air pressure waves and acoustic energy is radiated. The frequency of the alternating current through the coil will be the same frequency as the sound wave. Permanent Magnet Cone radiator X Flexible suspension Moving coil Figure 1. Dynamic loudspeaker construction Microcontroller Technology Page 1 If a program, when executed, can generate a square wave of say 440 Hz. (the A note) at the output where speaker/buzzer is connected, a tone radiated from the speaker will be heard. It is not difficult at all to generate such a frequency using a program. The principle is to have a delay routine of the right duration and have the logic state of speaker/buzzer output pin toggle every time when the delay routine expires. For example, to generate a 500 Hz. wave, a delay routine of 1 ms is needed. This 1 ms duration is derived from the following. Given, frequency, f= 500 Hz. 1 1 Period , T 2mS f 500 Since the signal needs to change state at every half cycle therefore the Delay...

...1. Introduction Asd asd asda sd asdas d A wiki is run using wiki software, otherwise known as a wiki engine. There are dozens of different wiki engines in use, both standalone and part of other software, such as bug tracking systems. Some wiki engines are open source, whereas others are proprietary. Some permit control over different functions (levels of access); for example, editing rights may permit changing, adding or removing material. Others may permit access without enforcing access control. Other rules may also be imposed to organize content. A wiki engine is a type of content management system, but it differs from most other such systems, including blog software, in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users.[2] The encyclopedia project Wikipedia is by far the most popular wiki-based website, and is in fact one of the most widely viewed sites of any kind of the world, having been ranked in the top ten since 2007. Wikipedia is not a single wiki but rather a collection of hundreds of wikis, one for each language. There are at least tens of thousands of other wikis in use, both public and private, including wikis functioning as knowledge management resources, notetaking tools, community websites and intranets. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that...

...What is a Keypad? A keypad is a set of buttons or keys bearing digits, symbols and/or alphabetical letters placed in order on a pad, which can be used as an efficient input device. A keypad may be purely numeric, as that found on a calculator or a digital door lock, or alphanumeric as those used on cellular phones. Explanation for Keypad Aside from the row of number keys found on the upper portion of a computer keyboard, a separate numerical pad is also located on the right side for efficient data entry. For more compact computers such as laptops and notebooks, external plug-in keypads may be purchased separately. Phone keypads are typically alphanumeric, allowing the user to enter names and text messages. They also provide an easier way of remembering phone numbers. For instance, 1-800-DELIVER is a way of marketing a food chain delivery service, but it's easier to remember than the actual number customers would call (1-800-335-4837). How many I/0 interface pins between keypad (4x4) and PIC18f4520? A standard Microcontroller Keypad (4x4) has a 8 I/0 interface pins. In the example below, RB0 to R07 is connected to the 8 I/O pins of the Keypad (4x4) The standard PIC18f4520 Microcontroller has 36 I/O pins that are grouped into 5 ports respectively. Due to this, It should require 8 pins to connect the 4x4 Keypad to make it work. How to detect if the key is pressed? E.g. Of flowchart when things are input. When a key depression has been detected...

...Introduction: Movement Control Teams (MCT) have played a vital role in the Army providing decentralized execution of movement responsibilities to a variety of transportation nodes. Within the transportation node, an MCT is designed to execute missions in movement regulation, area missions, documentation, intermodal and division support. Because of the critical role an MCT has in transportation, there is an increased demand for them to deploy in support of operational forces. While an MCT may have the experience in deployments, their home station skills diminish due to their reliance on the Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) to provide the technical experience and continuity for a variety of missions within the continental United States (CONUS)...

...communication is important in PAR and understanding participants in a non judgemental environment and also the power dynamic between researcher and participants are equal” (Visser & Moleko. 2012: 66). Multicultural counselling therapy (MCT) The Multicultural counselling therapy (MCT) is an effective approach to therapy as it is not a conventional or mainstream psychology approach and it is versatile in the sense that it focuses on the diverse and culturally different aspect in counselling therapy. “Culture is seen as a group of individual’s values and behaviours and it is important to note that culture is more than just ethnic or racial heritage, but it is factors like age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, and socio-economic status” (Corey, Nicholas, and Bawa. 2017: 20). In MCT it is important to keep in mind these different aspects and to be aware and empathic of different worldviews, the objective of this approach is to be open-minded and to be able to adapt to the situation. “It is important to note that in MCT, it consists of different theories and approaches and it depends on the individual in relation to their cultural context” (Hartman, 2018). In order to understand an individual in context to the MCT, it is imperative to understand one’s self and their own cultural background and beliefs.

...HOW CAN COCONUT OIL BE USED IN THE DIET? Coconut oil can be substituted for any solid or liquid oil, lard, butter or margarine in baking or cooking on the stove, and can be mixed directly into foods already prepared. Some people take it straight with a spoon, but for most people it may be hard to swallow this way and more pleasant to take with food. When cooking on the stove, coconut oil smokes if heated to greater than 350 degrees or medium heat. You can avoid this problem by adding a little olive or peanut oil. Coconut oil can be used at any temperature in the oven when mixed in foods. WHAT IS THE NUTRIENT CONTENT OF COCONUT OIL? DOES IT CONTAIN OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS? Coconut oil has about 117-120 calories per tablespoons, about the same as other oils. It contains 57-60% medium chain triglycerides, which are absorbed directly without the need for digestive enzymes. Part of it is metabolized by the liver to ketones which can be used by most cells in the body for energy. This portion of the coconut oil is not stored as fat. Coconut oil is about 86% saturated fat, most of which is the medium chain fats that are metabolized differently than animal saturated fats. It contains no cholesterol and no transfat as long as is non-hydrogenated. An advantage of a saturated fat is that there is nowhere on the molecule for free radicals or oxidants to attach. About 6% of the oil is monounsaturated and 2% polyunsaturated. Coconut oil also contains a small amount of phytosterols...

...http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/health-fitness/trends-fads/goat-milk-better-you?page=all How is Goat Milk Different from Cow Milk? One of the first things you’ll notice is that goat milk is two or three times as expensive as cow milk. Mostly, that’s because it’s still a pretty small niche market, so the goat milk producers don’t enjoy the same economy of scale as those who produce cow milk. In today’s economy, in order to get me to spend three times as much for something, you’re going to have to convince me that it’s superior in some sort of significant way. I’m often willing to spend more for something simply because it tastes better, such as really good chocolate. Goat milk definitely tastes different than cow milk but flavor is purely a matter of preference. I suspect it has a lot to do with what you’re used to. To someone used to drinking cow milk, goat milk can taste sort of funky. Personally, while I enjoy that goat-y taste in cheese, I find it a little off-putting in the glass. But, again, that’s purely subjective. Is Goat Milk More Nutritious? People who sell goat milk often point out that goat milk is higher in protein, vitamin A, calcium, and potassium than cow milk—which it is. Of course, they usually don’t mention that goat milk is lower in folate, B12, selenium, and omega-3. But it doesn’t really matter; the nutritional differences are all quite small. I’d consider the two to be nutritionally equivalent. Is Goat Milk Easier to Digest? For those who...

...Evaluate the pluralist view of the ownership and control of the mass media The mass media is the means by which messages and images are communicated to a mass audience, it does this through its various Mass Communication Technologies (MCTs), and for instance the Internet is a very powerful and influential MCT communicating worldwide. MCTs educate, persuade and inform as well as entertain their audience. Media is geographically dispersed and has no limits due to its global domination. It is also culturally diverse and socially mixed. Pluralists believe that the mass media is reflective of social reality, and acts as a 'mirror'. They state that it has a functional role in meeting the demands of its mass audience, and thus owes a duty to the people. Marxists on the other hand would argue that the media constructs desires and creates social reality. In other words it is a sculptor of a worldview and distorts social reality which is based on exploitation of a powerless majority, thus it is an ideological tool of the powerful bourgeoisie and reflects their interests. Over eighty percent of the media is owned by Trans National Corporations. But does ownership have any effect on the media coordinators? According to pluralists the answer is simply no. They back this by highlighting the fact that power is dispersed within society and that different pressure and interest groups all influence the media, which reacts accordingly. For instance Green Peace;...
