With the advent of digitalization, information and communications technology facilities have become an indispensable part of education especially at the universities. This study has been undertaken with dual purposes - to find the existing scenario of information and communications technology facilities and to gauge the perception of the students onthe quality of those facilities - at the unive...

The Free Space Optical (FSO) communication links is a promising and cost-effective solution for the provision of high data rate point to point communications. Due to their huge bandwidth, license free spectrum and multipath fading mitigation, the FSO links combined with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique provide an ideal communication solution between Unmanne...

Short-rage wireless communication technology has been widely applied. In the ubiquitous era, applications for connecting things have been expanding. When communication range is shorter than 1/10 of its wave length, the electromagnetic field shows unique characteristics of near field. For instance, inter-chip wireless communication of chips that are stacked in a package is the near-field communi...

BACKGROUND Lead (Pb) is a toxic substance with well-known, multiple, long-term, adverse health outcomes. Shooting guns at firing ranges is an occupational necessity for security personnel, police officers, members of the military, and increasingly a recreational activity by the public. In the United States alone, an estimated 16,000-18,000 firing ranges exist. Discharge of Pb dust and gases is ...
