Silicon Roundabout and Tech City – London Walking Tour (Ref URL) (for linking other articles please include following words/phrases in content – “m by montcalm hotels”) (words limit: 1000) The baptism of Silicon Roundabout has been done by the then Chief Technology Officer of Dopplr Matt Biddulph. Ever since then Silicon Roundabout had been a massive hit with Dopplr a popular social networking site for frequent travellers . UK has the upcoming Digital city on the similar lines of Silicon…

In June, a father of six was shot dead on a Monday afternoon in Evanston, Ill., a suburb 10 miles north of Chicago. The Evanston police believe that the victim, Ray C. Owens, had also been robbed. There were no witnesses to his killing, and no surveillance footage either. With a killer on the loose and few leads at their disposal, investigators in Cook County, which includes Evanston, were encouraged when they found two smartphones alongside the body of the deceased: an iPhone 6 running on…

This experiment helped the team to get a better grasp on what conditions affect solar panels and which ones are able to work best and most efficient. With the rise of popularity and technology of solar panels it’s important to understand which conditions affect the efficiency of the solar panel. The conditions tested on the solar panel were various applied resistances, power output between a flat solar panel and “fisheye” solar panel, incident light angle,and efficiency of each solar panel. The…

major U.S. producers and exporters of Silicon metal, and pertinent union groups in the United States filed a petition with the United States Department of Commerce (DOC) and International Trade Commission (ITC), alleging that the silicon metal imports from Russia was undercutting the U.S. market and severely hurting the local industry. Based on the detailed outcome of the investigation and prehearing briefs from the plaintiffs , the ITC ruled that silicon imports from Russia were sold lower…

You have probably heard that there is a growing problem with Silicon Valley startups. The typical excuses include valuations being too high, companies staying private too long and extraordinary burn rates. But one thing continues to be overlooked and that’s unit economics. Unit economics is a basic concept that looks at the direct revenues and cost associated with a particular business model. This is specifically expressed on a per unit basis and can resonate with businesses of all size, large…

Fig. 6 shows the results of air permeability, total water absorption, and voids. R mortars had lower permeability than the mortars with WTS. Air permeability of R was 1.13 x 10-13 m², a value 5 times higher than L60. The air permeability increased with increasing WTS content. The water absorption values ranged from 10.6% to 13.7%, and the voids from 9.6% to 12%. The results show that WTS replacement increased the porosity and permeability of geopolymer mortars. The geopolymer binders with WTS…

A solar panel is deigned to absorb light energy from the sun. From there, the energy is converted into an electrical current and can produce electricity or heat. As promising as solar energy is, are solar panels an efficient means of producing electricity and does solar energy benefit the greater population? To understand the efficiency of a solar panel, there is essential information on solar energy, that once understood, helps to answer whether solar panels are energy efficient. First, what…

The Center of Innovation 7.5 million people, thousands of technology startups, infinite possibilities; The San Francisco Bay Area is one that cannot compare to any other area in the world. Not less than one year ago, my family and I traveled to the beautiful city of San Francisco. Originally this trip was so we could spend time with my aunt who lives in the area. Although that was fun, my trip had a much deeper meaning to me. The city made a huge impression on me. I learned that I would like to…

Later letters, including what my father wrote when he was dying and the entries my mother made in her diaries gave all of us a broader understanding of, and deeper appreciation for, both of them. For this reason I decided to make The Peopling of Silicon Valley, 1940 to the Present Day an oral history. I wanted the people who lived the events to tell their stories. Although I lived a lot of the history of the Valley during the subject period, I realized the book would be better if I allowed a…
