...UNIT 6. ASSIGMENT 1. CABLE TESTERS. THE THREE CABLES TESTERS I WOULD PICK IN MY LINE UP WOULD BE THE OPTICAL LOSS TEST SET AND TEST KIT, THE TDR, AND THE TONE GENERATORS. 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. AND DEPENDING ON HOW LONG IT TAKES TO COME BACK (IF IT EVER DOES) WILL USUALLY LET YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR FAULT IS IN TYOU NETWORK CABLING THE TONE GENERATOR IS USED BY GENERATING A CERATIN TONE ALONG THE CABLING TO LET YOU KNOW WHERE EXACTLY YOU INCOSISTANCIES ARE WITH IN THAT SPECIFIC CABLE. THE OPTICAL LOSS TEST SET AND TEST KITS WILL SEEM TO WORK BEST WITH FIBER BASED LAYOUT, THE TIME DEFLECTIVE DOMAIN WILL WORK BEST ON THICKNET CABLING SET UPS AND THE TONE GENERATOR WILL WORK BEST ON COPPER/COAXIL LIKE SET UPS. THE TWO TESTER I THINK SHOULD BE IN EVER TECHS INSTALL KITS WILL BE THE TDR AND THE OPTICAL LOSS TEST SET AND TEST KITS THE REASON WHY IS THAT BOTH OF THESE TESTERS CAN SEND TESTING SIGNALS DOWN A CABLE THAT GOES IN OR THRU WALL OR TIGHT SPACES THAT THE HUMAN HAND CANT REACH NOT THE EYE CAN SEE, ALSO MOST OF THESE TESTERS WILL GIVE YOU...

...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.
