Hard Drives Hard drives have been around longer than you think. In 1956‚ I. B. M. had invented a disk storage unit that was very large but did not store a lot of data. It was twenty-four inches in diameter and could hold only five megabytes‚ which is the equivalent to three and one half floppy disks. Originally called “fixed disks” later became known as “hard disks” opposed to floppy disks. In 1973‚ I. B. M. released a hard drive that could hold seventeen and one half megabytes. In 1980 Seagate

the chance of receiving economic benefits from hosting either the World Cup or the Olympics is surprisingly little (Maennig & Plessis‚ 2007). Despite this fact countries still want to host international sports events. This is because in assessing the profitability of hosting such events it is important to include both tangible and intangible benefits. This paper takes a look at such intangible benefits to analyze a fuller extent of the gains of hosting such international sports events‚ taking the World

Magnetohydrodynamic drive In concept‚ MHD is attractive because it offers a propulsion system that requires no moving parts. It works on a principle similar to that of an electric motor or generator; that is‚ passing an electrical current through a magnetic field creates a force. In an MHD propulsion system‚ a magnetic field is created within the hull‚ and sea water is used to conduct the electric current‚ as shown in the illustrations accompanying this story. The underlying principle is known

Learning to Drive The sun was just rising as I followed my father outside. I had no idea what was so important that I needed to be awake at the crack of dawn‚ but he sure was excited about it. When I looked down the driveway I couldn’t believe my eyes. There sat a brand new Audi A6.

Chemistry II lab Why do liquids evaporate at different rates? Section1: Have you ever left a container with some type of liquid in it and wondered how it could it evaporate so quickly? The evaporation of an unpredictable liquid is an endothermic process that results in a temperature decrease. The amount of temperature decrease is related to the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction. The rate of evaporation can be described as the change of temperature divided by the time it takes to
