How Transistors Work" If cells are the building blocks of life, transistors are the building blocks of the digital revolution. Without transistors, the technological wonders you use every day -- cell phones, computers, cars -- would be vastly different, if they existed at all. Before transistors, product engineers used vacuum tubes and electromechanical switches to complete electrical circuits. Feta Cheese vs Goat Cheese Feta cheese, according to the latest EU regulations, is a variety of cheese that is made in specific areas of Greece and is manufactured using sheep's milk. The cheese may also be considered ‘feta’ if it is made of a mixture of sheep and goat's milk, with goat's milk being less than or equal to 30% of the entire mixture. Goat cheese, as the name suggests, is cheese prepared using goat's milk.

How a Radical New Teaching Method Could Unleash a Generation of Geniuses In 2009, scientists from the University of Louisville and MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences conducted a study of 48 children between the ages of 3 and 6. The kids were presented with a toy that could squeak, play notes, and reflect images, among other things. For one set of children, a researcher demonstrated a single attribute and then let them play with the toy. Another set of students was given no information about the toy. This group played longer and discovered an average of six attributes of the toy; the group that was told what to do discovered only about four.
Electrical Engineering Circuit Theory - Wikibooks , 2013This is an introductory text about electric circuits. It covers the basics of electric circuit theory, circuit analysis, and touches on circuit design. It is a companion reference for a 1st year of an Electrical Engineering undergraduate curriculum.(7482 views) United States Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series by Robert A Gray , 1998This series provides beginners with fundamental electrical and electronic concepts through self-study. The series is designed to give small amounts of information that can be easily digested before advancing further into the more complex material.(2096 views)
Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy Say hi to Lucy. Lucy is part of Generation Y, the generation born between the late 1970s and the mid 1990s. She's also part of a yuppie culture that makes up a large portion of Gen Y. I have a term for yuppies in the Gen Y age group -- I call them Gen Y Protagonists & Special Yuppies, or GYPSYs. A GYPSY is a unique brand of yuppie, one who thinks they are the main character of a very special story. So Lucy's enjoying her GYPSY life, and she's very pleased to be Lucy. An Intuitive Explanation of Quantum Mechanics This is one of several shortened indices into the Quantum Physics Sequence. It is intended for students who are having trouble grasping the meaning of quantum math; or for people who want to learn the simple math of everything and are getting around to quantum mechanics. There's a widespread belief that quantum mechanics is supposed to be confusing. This is not a good frame of mind for either a teacher or a student. Complicated math can be difficult but it is never, ever allowed to be confusing.
The 100 Things Every 20-Something Needs To Realize As Generation-Y, we’re the new frontier. We’ve experienced the largest generational gap in history and sometimes life isn’t easy. These are 100 rules Generation-Y should live by: 1. You need a minimum of an hour to get ready before work or class. 2. 2011-04-24 View Larger Map I'm starting to get things organized for the N.O.R.R.A. Mexican 1000,which starts May 4th in Mexicali,Baja California.The Mexican 1000 was started in the 60's by Ed Pearlman who also co-founded the National Off-Road Racing Association(N.O.R.R.A.) and the Off-Road Motorsports Hall Of Fame.In 1967 Don Francisco joined Ed Pearlman and a group of other Cali based off-road enthusiasts in founding N.O.R.R.A.
America’s Dirty War Against Manufacturing (Part 2): Carl Pope So who really lost Detroit? Why did the U.S. auto industry’s domestic market share decline from 71.1 percent in 1998 to 44.8 percent in 2009? Why does the U.S. now produce fewer cars than China? And what does this story tell us about the overall causes of decline in American manufacturing? The conventional wisdom is that wages and union contracts simply made American cars too expensive. World of Microcontrollers - Chapter 1 - Book: PIC Microcontrollers - Programming in BASIC Chapter 1: World of Microcontrollers The situation we find ourselves today in the field of microcontrollers has its beginnings in the development of technology of integrated circuits. It enabled us to store hundreds of thousands of transistors into one chip, which was a precondition for the manufacturing of microprocessors. The first computers were made by adding peripherals, such as memory, input/output lines, timers and other circuits, to it.
