THE WAR OF CURRENTS Tesla vs Edison: THE WAR OF CURRENTS In the "War of Currents" era (sometimes "War of the Currents" or "Battle of Currents") in the late 1880s‚ George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison’s promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. Thomas Edison American inventor andbusinessman was known as "The Wizard of Menlo Park" and pushed

1. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ACETYLCHOLINE Acetylcholine (ACh) is one of the first neurotransmitters to be discovered and Otto Loewi first described is as ‘vagus stuff’ as it is able to mimic the electrical stimulation of vagus nerve. Acetylcholine is produced by the enzyme choline acetyltransferase‚ using acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) and dietary choline as substrates. Acetylcholine and the interaction with its target have played a critical role in the basic concepts of neurochemistry. Chemical

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction It is an embedded and cloud computing based project. The main aim of the project is to controlling the functionality of PC peripherals such as mouse‚ keyboard and media (volume) wirelessly by using ARM microcontroller based hardware emulator. ARM microprocessors are used in embedded devices as well as portable devices like PDAs and some phones. The software ARM emulators listed on this page allow you to run an emulated ARM device on your main computer system

What’s the difference between resistance and resistivity? Resistance is the obstruction offered to the flow of current by a conductor. Resistivity is the obstruction offered to the flow of current by UNIT AREA OF the conductor. So basically‚ resistance is the property of the object (say a copper wire)‚ whereas resistivity is the property of the substance (copper). And so resistance depends upon the properties of the object. Whereas resistivity depends upon the properties of the metal.
