Frank Cavazos MGMT305-1302A-08 Cast Studies May 4‚ 2013 Article 1: Smart Grids Smart grids have plenty to offer and are very much different from the current electricity infrastructure that the United States runs on. The current grid is only a one way communication path which sends electricity from the power plant to the home or business (The smart grid‚ 2013). The new smart grid is a two way communicator which allows consumers to know how and where their electricity is being used vice versa

been made‚ such as cell phones. The power grid however has not stayed current with what technology has to offer. Resolving the gap between the existing grid and the smart grid is an area of fervent research. Much of the success of the smart grid relies on new communication architecture to allow for smart metering‚ quality of service implementations‚ and distributed power generation. In a way there is an opportunity not just to incrementally change the grid‚ but to architect it intelligently for current

Jim Corbett National Park—named after the hunter and conservationist Jim Corbett who played a key role in its establishment—is the oldest national park in India.[2] The park was established in 1936 as Hailey National Park. Situated in Nainital district of Uttarakhand the park acts as a protected area for the critically endangered Bengal tiger of India‚ the secure survival of which is the main objective of Project Tiger‚ an Indian wildlife protection initiative.[2] The park has sub-Himalayan belt

Ancient Roman town /settlement Planning ( 700B.C-500 AD) • Romans adopted the technology and planning skills of the Greeks. They were more advanced than the Greeks in terms of technological skills which they used to develop better infrastructural facilities and construction techniques. • Lime concrete was invented • Applied mechanics for moving heavy masses developed. • Roads were paved with stones • Advanced system of water supply (Aqueducts &water reservoirs)‚ sewage system

These days "cloud computing" is the buzzword used to describe the direction in which information network infrastructure seems to be leaning towards. The authors reasoned that cloud computing sprouted from grid computing‚ distributed computing‚ and parallel computing‚ which resonated with the works of Foster‚ Zhao‚ Raicu‚ & Lu‚ 2008 [1]. And like many‚ they found it a challenge to provide an encompassing definition for cloud computing. Foster et al. defined cloud computing as‚ “A large-scale distributed

Mesa Verde National Park is a very large park that is located in Montezuma County in Colorado and used to be the home of the Anasazi people many years ago. It is located in the southwestern corner of Colorado (Anderson) and since Mesa Verde is essentially a plateau‚ it got the name Mesa Verde‚ which translates to green table in Spanish (Anderson). This area was populated with juniper trees and and pinons and all of that greenery encouraged the Anasazi people to make their homes on top of the plateau
