observations of these celestial phenomena by collecting electromagnetic radiation. Optical telescopes e.g. the Hubble Space Telescope collect light whereas radio telescopes like the Parkes Observatory serve the purpose in gathering radio waves. Radio astronomers speciality study space by observing and studying radio waves in detail. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation and ever since it has become possible in measuring regions in the electromagnetic spectrum (outside the optical…
the speed of light. As a result, this is by far the most widespread of all the effects of a nuclear explosion and occurs even at distances where blast effects are minimal. There are two kinds of ionizing radiation created by nuclear explosions, electromagnetic and particulate. Radiation emitted at the time of detonation occurs within the first minutes. Anyone close enough to the explosion to be killed by prompt radiation is likely to be killed by the blast and thermal effects, delayed radiation,…

Determining the most effective treatment for a patient suffering from depression is crucial. Beidal, Bulik, & Stanley, 2014 state that a combination of therapies and antidepressants is the most common today and typically effect for most people (p.224). Therapies like cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal therapy are the most common forms of therapy used when treating depression. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought (Beidel, Bulik, & Stanley, 2014,…
other. From these signals we can find out position and direction of rotation, if A leads B then disk is rotating in a clockwise direction and if B leads A then disk is rotating in counterclockwise direction. Output of encoder is equivalent to 1,024 pulses per revolution. Following formulae is used to calculate linear distance travelled by disk, Linear distance covered = (output of encoder *3.1416*diameter of disk)/PPR of…
is similar to TDCS, but instead of a direct pulse it uses a figure-eight electrical coil on the head to make an electromagnetic field that can control cortical excitability and make permanent changes to the brain function (Ramezani et al.). TMS is used in treating ADHD, ASD, schizophrenia, neurological pain, depression, and much more, but also shows promise when used in children with spastic quadriplegic CP. In those children with CP the electromagnetic induction reduced spasticity by calming…
satellites and earth. When a large ‘X-class’ (largest of all solar flares) solar flare occurs it carries enough charged particles, x-rays and magnetized plasma that although is harmless to humans due to the atmosphere protection, can have an electromagnetic pulse effect (EMP) on the Earth causing all electronically powered sources to be forcedly shut off for anywhere up to a few years (in the event of a severely large solar flare) which would stop almost all industries from continuing work and…
when it is not powered, the motor exhibits some magnetic resistance to turning. • Variable-reluctance (VR) stepper motor — Unlike the PM stepper motor, the VR stepper motor does not have a permanent-magnet and creates rotation entirely with electromagnetic forces. This motor does not exhibit magnetic resistance to turning when the motor is not powered. The basic construction Stepper motors consist of a permanent magnetic rotating shaft, called the rotor, and electromagnets on the stationary…
suction or cupping (the process of drawing blood from the body by scarification and the application of cupping), application of heat (holding a heating pad to the injured part), pressure or acupressure (applying pressure to the injured area), or electromagnetic pulses (little shocks to the nerves and muscles in body). All of these do work when trying to relieve chronic pain, but acupuncture with the needles is the main way to get rid of chronic pain fast. Starting with utilizing friction, it's…
What would run through one’s mind when they are faced with the devastation of a nuclear blast? In the short story “Grace Period” by Will Baker, a man finds himself in a horrifying situation where a nuclear bomb has been detonated over his town. With the clues left behind, readers can match what is happening with the information in the article “Nuclear Weapon Effects” by John Pike. The article describes how nuclear bombs work and the mass destruction that is created. Having this knowledge, one…
