GIS System To Better Control Wildfire (Part 2)
Single click would add up new data to the GIS map and the latest information is on the desktop. Before the creation of this new GIS maps, Kaye has to adopt a difficult task of searching different sites to get the required weather updates. She says; "To be able to access all that data at once would really be useful -- make things much smoother" That becomes more critical when it is a matter of lives. The new method will enable the user...
GIS System To Better Control Wildfire (Part 1)
Scientists have now achieved the task of integrating GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and weather reports together; this would be appeared as a visual display on the desktop. They created a new map having the features of collecting, layering and analyzing information from different origins. Individual manager would be able to integrate weather information scattered on different resource websites with this software. Every common person i...
Underwater Time-Reverse Technique
Wireless communication is difficult in the ocean. The reason for that is water molecules absorbs radio waves efficiently. An acoustic signal travel well but reduces in quality due to echoes, ambient noise, swirling currents and water absorbing the signals. The technique named by acoustic time reversal can cover up the above mentioned problems. It transmits and cleans up the underwater signals and thus increases the range and capacity of sig...
Research Completed On Glass Alloys
Aero planes’ wings, golf clubs and parts of engines were thought to be made of glass alloys; now the time has come to see it practically as the research has been almost completed on chaotic structure of glass. The researchers working at Bristol University, Australian National University and the University of Tokyo have reached the fact that what happens to the atoms in glass when they cool down from their molten state. Their research resu...
