Synthetic fiber

bandwidth of fiber has not been fully utilized and it is already transmitting signals at multiple gigabits per second. Fiber optic cables can go an average of 62 miles versus 1.2 miles that copper can go before the signal needs to be regenerated or boosted. Overall, it is apparent that fiber optics is a more cost effective solution. Fiber optics is non-metallic and is not susceptible to interference, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI), radio frequency (RF) or lightning. Fiber does not…

3.3 DEMERITS Cost comes first in considering the demerits of optical fiber networks. Despite of the fact that the cost for fiber is dropping by 60% per year and is beneficial in long run, its initial installation cost is still high and is not affordable to all vendors. Per unit cost of fiber cable is more than that of copper cable. Secondly, as the technology is still new and improvising, it requires skilled manpower for its installation, operation and maintenance. Further it requires new…

Felicity, Is it subjective or objective? Do people strive to attain happiness by means of their own understanding of the world? Can it be compared to reality, where we try to base our view of what is real and true as much as we are capable of through own perhaps incomplete reasoning? Likewise for happiness do we all devote our time to obtain that happiness as closely as possible, according to our own understanding or is it all just subjective? Have your heard of a cliché statements such as ‘Mind…

equipped with armament. I cannot figure out why the Customs and Border Patrol chose to use the MQ-9 Reaper instead of its predecessor the MQ-1 Predator. The only viable option I can come up with is the fact that the Reaper comes equipped with the Synthetic Aperture Radar and the Predator does not, which could be of vital importance along the border while searching for drug smugglers and illegal immigrants. Another variant, the Guardian, was adopted and used by Customs and Border Patrol along…

The surface of Venus was mapped in 1991 by the Magellan expedition, which revealed evidence of extensive volcanic activity on the planet--yet the timing of this volcanic activity remains a mystery. About 80 percent of Venus' surface is covered in volcanic material. Most of the volcanoes are believed to be inactive, yet there is some evidence to suggest more "recently" activity ("recent" in this context meaning within the last 500 million years). There are no lava nor caldera (craters created…

Although the regolith represents an important economic resource (Wright et al., 1985; Taylor and Eggleton, 2001), it also acts as a hindrance to exploration for mineral deposits under cover (Anand, 2016; Salama et al., 2016) and geological mapping in general. The term regolith refers to all of the weathered and/or unconsolidated material from basement rock to earth surface including interbedded fresh rocks (Taylor and Eggleton, 2001). Tardy (1997) estimates that nearly one third of the area of…

hardwood, tile, and carpeting. If you decided on going with carpeting, you’ll need to make another decision on what kind of carpet fiber you want. Here are some pros and cons between nylon, polyester, and acrylic. Nylon Carpeting If you have pet or kids that can be messy, nylon carpeting can be a great choice because of how strong the carpet fibers are. The carpet fibers will not become flat over time, and they are great at resisting stains. If you have a living room that sees a lot of foot…

Color and Markings Animals skin rugs are available in a variety of colors, and each rug has a distinct design. Animal hide rugs have soft natural fibers. Since all animals are unique, you are guaranteed to get a rug with a unique pattern. Unlike synthetic rugs, animal hide rugs are hypoallergenic. The…

Just recently, scientists have found a way to spin synthetic spider silk, like Batman does. These Swedish scientists are Anna Rising and Jan Johansson. The two biochemists came together to study the natural ability that spiders undergo. The spider silk protein is similar to a lengthy chain, containing three parts. The longest part of the protein has pieces that repeat themselves. Randy Lewis, a biochemist, explains the long part of the protein as “stacked Lego blocks connected by springs. The…
