Smart is the popular word which has become a general taught in every human brain. The Acronym of the word Smart refers to Specific Measurement Achievable Relevant Time-Oriented. The world is moving towards future technologies by laying different steps to be smarter in the future generations. A Smart World is a collection of different technologies which are getting improved better and better with the invention of Automation in every sector with wide range of application step by step. As the…

The important characteristics of IR is that it can’t penetrate walls or other opaque materials. Typically, with an IR-based system, a receiver is placed in every location in which a tagged device might be found. The tagged device emits IR light, and if the tagged device is in the same room as a receiver its position is known. The major advantage of an IR-based system is that as the oldest and most installed positioning technology, solutions are generally available from a variety of sources…

Venus Express: Payload, Mission Goals and Venusian Discoveries L. B. Breitenfeld Introduction: In November of 2002, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced that their first mission to the planet Venus, titled Venus Express, would launch in 2005 (Abbott and Schiermeier, 2002; Hoofs et al., 2009). The Russian Soyuz-Fregat launcher in Baikonur Kazakhstan on November 9th 2005, launched Venus Express into space (Fabrega et al. 2007). After traveling a distance of 440 million km, Venus Express…

Although there is no clear and set definition of drought, to some extent it can be summed up to explain that drought occurs when a region has received less than normal precipitation which results in dryer than normal conditions for that particular region. However, people in different areas and environments have varying views on what drought is and when it is occurring, “characteristics of drought differ significantly between regions such as North American Great Plains, Australia, southern…

Water, a natural resource deemed to be a right, is fast depleting. Our planet’s fresh water reserves present an unfavorable picture, with only 1% out of 3% accessible for direct human use. This scarcity, fueled by unequal distribution amongst countries caused by geographical and political obstacles, raises the potential of “water wars”. Such concerns are exacerbated by uncontrollable population growth, pollution due to industrialization and modernization, and climate change. A new approach to…

The reviewed literature points to some degree of a relationship between climate change and violent conflict in Africa. However, the majorities of studies, especially those in West Africa employed descriptive research methods. This type of the investigation method, as we know it, do not make accurate predictions and do not determine cause and effect. Additionally, the vast majority of the literature heavily uses civil war and political violence datasets, as the dependent variables, which may be…

Robotics The meaning of robotics is simply a type of science that uses or creates machines to do the job for humans and make it easier. The word robot comes from the main word roboto in the Czechoslovakian language the word roboto means to do a job over and over again (Beyer, 5). Scientists say that by the year 2050 robots will be as smart as humans and act like them in certain ways (Beyer, 12). Robots are getting smarter everyday and also improving each day getting better. They are important…

Animals are unique creatures that possess similar or even more humane characteristics than humans. All throughout history they have helped humans develop into what they are today. Though they aid them, animal cruelty has taken shape. Animals are being used for money, hunting, accessories, and experimentation. Many are being used to the point of extinction. The question of whether humans help rescue or continues lies within their efforts. Animals were used throughout history for education,…

The high mobile phone availability and internet access from the fiber optic backbone around the African continent can be used as a platform to enhance the use of technologies like MPESA money transfer and cloud computing that may give the African user better Information Technology services access at a much lower cost. Moreover, once Africans are educated they can take advantage of available technologies like GIS that can assist them in making informed and accurate decisions in areas of…
