Lesson 10

RELATIVE ADVANTAGES OF AM TRANSMISSION

RELATIVE ADVANTAGES OF FM TRANSMISSION

The transmitters can serve a large area because

of the capability to broadcast long-wave (LW),

medium-wave (MW) and short wave (SW) wavebands

over very large distances.

Has better sound quality compared with AM transmission

It is simpler and cheaper to broadcast than using

FM transmission.

It can avoid the interference of noise better than with AM

transmissions because noise affects amplitude and not the

varying frequency.

The human ear can detect the sound transmitted

because the maximum frequency that can be broadcast

is 4.5kHz and it lies within the frequency range that is picked

up by the human ear and it is adequate for speech.

This is not the case with FM transmissions.

higher bandwidth (for the same range of broadcast frequencies)

is broadcast than in AM transmission because the FM waveform

has additional side frequencies that are multiples of the

information signal frequency.


FM receivers capture stronger signals and eliminate the weaker

signals.


Needs a smaller number of transmitters that can share the same

waveband than for AM


Can be used to serve small local areas


Lesson 15


Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (NMRI)

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

  • Property of atomic nuclei is ‘spin’.

  • Spin enables the atomic nuclei to behave as if they were small magnets.

  •  The nuclei have odd numbers of protons and/or neutrons e.g. hydrogen, carbon and phosphorus.

  • Alignment is not perfect and nuclei rotate about the direction of the magnetic field, due to their spin. This rotation is known as precession.

  • The spinning about the direction of the magnetic field has a frequency known as the frequency of precession or the Larmor Frequency.

  • The frequency depends on:

    • The nature of nucleus 

    • Magnitude of Magnetic Flux Density.

  • This frequency is in the radio-frequency (RF) band with a wavelength shorter than about 10cm. A short time after the (resonance) the incident pulse has ended, the nuclei will return to their equilibrium state, emitting RF radiation.

  • Relaxation time: the short time between the end of the RF pulse and the re-emitting of the radiation.

  • NMRI is oftenly/simply abbreviated to MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).

  • Since hydrogen is abundant in body tissues and fluids, hydrogen is the nucleus used in MRI.

  • A Magnetic Field is a region of space  where a magnet will experience forces.

  • On de-excitation, the nuclei give off radio frequency waves that can be detected and analyzed.

How To Build A HUT - Shumbafoot Poem

By
  Shumbafoot@9 | Ubuntu | Unity in Diversity How to build a HUT, Coming from the Bottom of my heart. Prepare the site And make the foundation right. Install the poles And fill up the holes. Tie the poles and branches,  Using strings from bucks and reeds. Apply the mud  And make the wall hard. Apply the plaster And finish with paint. Join the rafters, Join the collars, Join these members together, Using strings from bucks and reeds. Apply your flooring, Apply your finishes, Add the extra elements, And make all Good! To get more on this poem, watch this video on the Shumbafoot Creative Space Youtube Channel:  How To Build A Hut - Mud & Thatch

Think BIG, Think Smart | Shumbafoot Europe Regional Summit

By
  Bonjour tout le monde!  I have been asked to expand on my 'popular phrase', "Think BIG and Think Smart". I hope I will do justice for your benefit. I need us to look at a very important question, 'Why Shumbafoot?' It is essential because it seeks to address the relevance of Shumbafoot and other new ideas in our world. Let us look at the philosophical question which I think will help us to address the idea of why Shumbafoot is relevant. So this question is as follows, 'Are human beings unique?' The way I see human beings is, they are unique individuals therefore we cannot say that a person can duplicate the actions of another human being. You can even prove this by looking at the people that are around you. Look at the difference in their clothes, the choice of delicacies, even their individual expressions (just to mention a few). The differences show how each and every person has a unique character and a unique personality. If this is true, then we s...

 Today we get to celebrate all the women all over the world. You are Special!  Please don't forget that tomorrow and the whole of next week, we have a very special program on the Shumbafoot Creative Space YouTube Channel as we all get to celebrate and reflect on the content that we benefit from and the content that brings Enjoyment.

History

By
  WHAT IS HISTORY? History is the study of past events; or a record of people's lives, behaviour, culture and activities HUMANITIES DIVISION History Branch There shall be background music in the videos so if you do not like it you can turn down your volume and you watch learn  from the videos in silence. The songs that are played may not be  complete for recommended reasons. LEARN, ENJOY AND  INNOVATE! WHY STUDY HISTORY? To identify your identity. If you disregard your past, you're likely going to lose your identity. To acquire an understanding of how a society or how people behave, their lives and acts. It's good to note that present societies are products of history, for example, how present countries came to be was a result of historical events. It equips us with the knowledge of what transpired in the past (basically we get to know how, why and when some things happened). It helps us comprehend current events. The study of history assists in the creation of a bet...
