THE OPTICAL LOSS TEST SET AND KITS WORKS MORE SO IN A LAB BASED SET UP THEN OUT ON THE FIELD BUT THE TEST KITS IS MORE FAVORABLE BY FIBER TECHS BECAUSE IT HAS A POWER METER AND LIGHT SOURCE THAT ARE MADE TO WORK TOGETHER. THE TDR (TIME DOMAIN REFLECTOR) IS A TOOL THAT IS USED BE SENDING A TONE OR / BEAM OF LIGHT (WITH A DATA ON IT SOME TIMES) AND WILL MEASURE HOW LONG IT TOOK FOR THAT TONE TO REACH THE DESTINE PLACE AND OR BACK TO THE SENDER FROM WHICH IT CAME.

Triangulation is meant by looking for information from three different sources, by looking at different sources if they all say the same you can conclude the information is reliable 2. Primary sources are actual records or artifacts such as letters, photographs, videos by people involved in the issue. Secondary sources are writings of experts are knowledgeable people who have studied the issue. Primary source are most reliability sources because it’s been actual proof that it was real in the past. 3. The three strategies that researchers can to narrow the key terms when using internet each engines are use exact words that are you’re looking up, use key words with or minus signs use quotation marks 4. Some questions researchers can ask to determine the reliability of a source are what organization is this source associated with and why is it publishing this information, and what does the sources author or organization have to gain from publishing this information. 5.

...Nina Westrick 11/10/2014 Monday PM BU1110 Introduction to Business Unit 8 Assignment 1: The four stages of the Product Life Cycle Most products undergo a product life cycle, passing through four distinct stages in sales and profits: growth, maturity, and decline. The marketing challenge changes from stage to stage, sometimes dramatically. The product life cycle can describe a product class (gasoline-powered automobiles), a product form (sport utility vehicles), or a brand or model (Ford Explorer). Product classes and forms tend to have the longest life cycle, specific brands somewhat shorter cycles. The amount of time that a product remains in any one stage depends on customer needs and preferences, economic conditions, the nature of the product, and marketer’s strategy. The proliferation of new products, changing technology, globalization, and the ability to quickly imitate competitors is hurtling many product forms and brands through their life cycles much faster today than in the past. In categories such as smartphones, individual models can go through the entire life cycle in as little as nine months. (Bovee & Thill, 2013, p 317-318) Examples of each stage of each stage of the product cycles: 1. Introduction: 3D TVs 2. Growth: Blueray discs/DVR 3. Maturity: DVD 4. Decline: Video cassette (Bovee & Thill, 2013) (Productlifecycles.com, 2014) Works Cited Bovee, C. L., & Thill, J. V. (2013). Business in Action (6th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson...

...Astronomy 122 Third Homework Submission Template 1. Stellar Parallax: When you launch the simulator it should come up like this: Then click: Specify a catalog and chose 30 bright stars from the drop down menu and then also check, “specify a star”. Your screen now looks like this: You are to select two stars for this exercise – GL171.1 and GL 244. Upon selecting a star, click on step 2 - Measure Stellar Parallax to get this measuring screen – every 6 months a measurement is made and plotted in what is called “Error Histogram”. These errors are caused by making measurements through our atmosphere. You need to wait until you have about 40 measurements until you have a reasonable certain average value in the error histogram. That average value is the stellar parallax angle for that star. Once you know this angle the distance to the star (and hence its luminosity) can be determined. Enter your answers to the questions below in the provided table (the response cell will expand with your typing) Question: Your Response a) What are the angles for GL 244 and GL 171.1 GL 244= 0.393 GL 171.1 = 0.043 b) Which one of these two stars has the more accurate determination of the parallax and why? GL 244 has the more accurate determination because it is much closer and has a much higher parallax then GL 171.1. c) Explain selecting only the brightest stars in the sky for parallax measurements would give you a biased sample There needs to be less bright stars or more distanced...

...UNIT -1 Vanka By- Anton Chekhov- Know the author- Anton Pavlovich Chekhov ( 29 January 1860– 15 July 1904) is a major Russian playwright and master of the modern short story. He is a literary artist of concise precision who explored below the surface of life, laying bare the secret motives of his characters.. Concentrating on clear insignificances, they create a special kind of atmosphere, sometimes termed lasting or emotional. Chekhov describes the Russian life of his time using a dishonestly simple technique devoid of prominent literary devices, and he is regarded as the outstanding representative of the late 19th-century Russian realist school. His famous works are: “Three sisters", "The Cherry Orchard", "The Lady with the Dog" and others. SUMMARY The story opens on Christmas Eve with Vanka, a poor orphan of age of nine, sitting down to write a letter to his grandfather living in a unknown village in Russia.
