...analysis, qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis” ("Difference between qualitative," 2011). “You can use both qualitative and quantitative reports to track the work performance of individuals, business units and your workforce as a whole” (Ciaran, John). Each type of data has its own advantages and many times analyzers use a combination of both types of data to make decisions. Qualitative and quantitative data are important to gather because they provide different outcomes. These are often used together when analyzing in order to get a full picture of a population. Qualitative data is either on the “nominal or ordinal scale of measurement and may be nonnumeric or numeric” (Anderson, Sweeney & Williams, 2005, 7.). This type of data focuses on interpreting raw data. This type of data is also known as “categorical” data. Qualitative data can be used to evaluate investments or other business opportunities. This type of data can also assist when it comes to decision making. Some believe qualitative analysis is “the foundation of a broad array of investment and financial decision-making methods” ("Qualitative analysis," 2010). For data to qualify as quantitative data it requires “numeric values that indicate how much or how many” (Anderson, Sweeney & Williams, 2005, 7.). Quantitative data is a numerical measurement in terms of numbers. A company may use their income statement, balance sheet, along with other documents to gather their data. This type of analysis...

...Chapter 1 The Problem and Its Background This chapter is the preface about our problem, the relationship between extent of computer technology usage and study habit of students from Rogationist College and the its background. Introduction Nowadays, technology became an inseparable part of our lives. It now rules the life of an average student and in the field of education in any corner of the world. It has taken over the field of education. Its influence has been taken across the world in every possible way. According to Charlie S. (2012) “Computer has been taking big parts of our lives, in different sectors such as medicine, architecture, communication, research, sports and education. But it greatly affects the sector of education, especially the students”. In this world of competition, the students should have to be educated. Everything is not taught by a teacher or in school. In facing big challenges in life, students take extra learning through technology/computers. These computers can be used for their personal or recreational activities such as listening to music, watching movies or videos, chatting, browsing, playing games and etc. We can also express our feelings through it, through social networking sites. Furthermore, the work of the students became easier in searching information they want to learn. Technology has been part of our lives like language, ritual values, arts and more. It also affects our ways of thinking that can contribute to a more progressive...

...process of varying one or more properties of a periodic waveform, called the carrier signal, with a modulating signal that contains information to be transmitted. 2. What is a carrier Frequency? A carrier frequency is a single radio frequency with steady amplitude. 3. Describe two reasons that modulation is used for communications transmissions. a) Signal integrity b) Power savings 4. List three parameters of a high frequency carrier that may be varied by a low frequency intelligence signal. Amplitude, frequency and phase v = Vp·sin(ωt + Φ) ω = 2πf (describe which parameters can be varied) 5. What are the frequency ranges included in the following frequency subdivisions: MF (medium frequency)300-3000kHz, HF (high frequency)3-30MHz, VHF (very high frequency)30-300MHz, UHF (ultra-high frequency)300-3000MHz, and SHF (super high frequency)3-30GHz? 7. A microwave transmitter typically requires a +8dBm audio level to drive the input fully. If a +10 dBm level is measured, what is the actual voltage level measured? Assume a 600Ω system. (2.45V) Hint: Use this equation and solve it for V2 10 dBm = 20 · log10 (V2/0.77459) 9. Convert the following power to their dBm equivalents: (a) p = 1 W = 30.0000dBm (b) p = 0.001 W = 0.00000dBm (c) p = 0.0001W = -10.0000dBm (d) p = 25 μW = dBm Use this formula: dBm = 10 · log10 [P2/(10-3)] 15.

...was similarity between library usage and ethnics. A correction was found with if students worked part time or full time. Black females who lived on-camps spent more time per week in the library than white males who lived off-campus. Another study that was also similar was done by Watson, L in September 2001, which concluded that there was a difference in educational gains of students by class level, colleges, and grade point averages. There was a difference between these groups. According to the study done by our group there were many relationships between the variables that were examined. The study that was completed by our group was done to find out if there was any relationship between Sacramento City College students and their use of library material. The purpose of this study was to get a broad picture of which students used the library and if the library is helping in stopping the students from falling behind. Our study shows significant insights where other studies have represented more of a limited view. Our hypothesis is students at SCC do not have sufficient access to reserve material in the library to be a successful student.

...Impact of Cell Phone’s Radio Frequency in Children Herzing University Saugat Basnet The development and use of mobile device services in the last decade have hugely increased the amount of radiofrequency electromagnetic wave (RF-EMW). High exposures towards radio frequency (RF) in our daily lives have raised concerns regarding the harmful effects on human health especially on children. Children with cell phone exposure have higher odds of migraines and headache-related symptoms than the one with no exposure. A great deal of scientific and public interest have focused on radio frequencies that alter the brain, somatic and germinal cells in children. Children should be very careful and guided by elders while using cell phones that produce a lot of harmful radio frequencies. Today cell phone is one of the inseparable parts of modern life. Each and every daily activity today is possibly accomplished by the aid of the cell phone. With its reference, we can say that cell phone directly and regularly comes in contact with the vital body parts like head and sense organs. As it comes in contact with vital organs, not immediately but after some long term exposure, it causes severe health problems and in children, it’s even more serious. Children are still developing mentally; therefore, radio frequency from cell phones has a greater effect on them than on adults. It is because children have growing body parts where cell multiplication is active. According to a study conducted by Sudan...

...Making time, holding time with or without a GPS. The most ubiquitous way to get accurate time and phase, every time, everywhere is to use a GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO). Over the last few years, some concerns have arisen due to the potential impact on critical infrastructure of malevolent attacks such as jamming or due to natural causes such as solar flares. The GPS system has been designed to distribute time around the world. It gets time from a reference called a time scale. They are several time scales in the world. In the US, NIST and USNO are used for the UTC time scale and are referred to as UTC (NIST) and UTC (USNO). USNO also produces the GPS time scale. The time scales around the world are coordinated through an international agency called BIPM. USNO, NIST are all coordinated to BIPM through a mechanism called two-way time transfer. BIPM defines International Atomic Time (TAI) from ensembling atomic clocks that are disseminated around the globe - the duration of the TAI second is kept as close as possible to the SI second. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is an atomic time scale derived from TAI to provide a reference scale in step with the irregular rotation of the earth. As a result of this process, the mean solar day, which is nominally 86400 seconds long, is actually getting longer when measured in SI seconds with stable atomic clocks. It is the role of IERS (International Earth Rotation Service) to observe the self-rotation of the earth and to make sure that...

...In the experiment AC Circuits. Oscilloscope, the main objective was to use a signal generator (SG) to create a sine wae and using an oscilloscope we had to bserve the various components of a sine waves and there relationships; the component RMS, amplitude, period and frequency. Another objective was to use the RLC circuit to determine the resonant frequency. In order to complete these ojectives the circuit was first set up as in figure 1 and RMS, period, frequency and amplitude were calculated and measured. The experimental amplitude was 0.875Vac, the frequency was 1001Hz, and the period was one second. The difference beween the theoretical frequcy from the signal generator was compared to the experimental frequency giving a 0.1% error. For the second part of the lab the RLC circuit was set up (figure 2) and from there the resonant frequency was found for this was done three times (table 1). After this the voltage drop was measured in the range of 800-300Hz; the different frequencies withc corresponding average power that dissipated in the resistor was inputted into GA (table 2,). From there the power vs frequency graph was plotted. and finally the theoretical angular frequency 1.0846 x 104rad/sec was compared to the experimentally found frequency of 1.0820 x 104rad/sec, giving a 0.24% error.
