GC: n CT: The term spam refers to unsolicated commercial advertisments distributed online. Most spam comes to people via email, but spam can also be found in online chat rooms and message boards. Spam consumes a tremendous amount of network bandwidth on the Internet. More importantly, it can consume too
GC: n CT: Specific conductance is a measure of the electric current in the water sampled carried by the ionized substances, therefore the dissolved solids are basically related to this measure that is also influenced by the good conductivity of inorganic acids, bases and salts the poor conductivity characteristics of
GC: n CT: The flow around a wind turbine is a set of forces applied by the wind on the blades defined by the most significant parameters from a dimensional analysis detailing the power of wind turbine. This later is criss- crossed by changes of turbulent intensity unlike the Reynolds
GC: n CT: The term spectroradiometer is closely related to radiometry. Radiometry is the study of electromagnetic radiation. Light is one form of electromagnetic radiation and thus included in the scientific field of radiometry. Both radiometry and spectroradiometry are used by astronomers to study objects in space. Spectroradiometry can help
GC: n CT: The speech is primary mode of communication among human being and also the most natural and efficient form of exchanging information among human in speech. So, it is only logical that the next technological development to be natural language speech recognition for HCI. Speech Recognition can be
GC: n CT: One of the main components of the transmission of a wind turbine is the speed multiplier. Its role is to increase the relative small rotational speed of the propeller to the nominal relative high rotational speed of the generator. This paper is dealing with optimal gear design
GC: n CT: At present, then, checkers and correctors play a small but useful role in helping people to remove minor errors from their written work. Some systems are just checkers – they flag errors but make no attempt to offer suggestions – and this is often all that is
GC: n CT: Implementing spelling correction: There are two basic principles underlying most spelling correction algorithms. Of various alternative correct spellings for a mis-spelled query, choose the “nearest one. This demands that we have a notion of nearness or proximity between a pair of queries. We will develop these proximity
GC: n CT: An overflow spillway is most often constructed as part of a gravity dam or a buttress dam. The spillway section is lower than the other sections of the dam allowing water to flow over its top and down its front face. Sometimes, the whole of the dam
GC: n CT: Spintronics is “Spin based electronics”. The idea is to use the electron’s spin, as well as it’s charge. Electrons can spin in two directions (Spin-Up, Spin-Down, which is actually clockwise and anti-clockwise), and the spin is detectable as weak magnetic energy. Spintronic device do not need an
GC: n CT: Programs that secretly record what you do on your computer are called spyware. They can be used for some perfectly legitimate purposes, but the majority of spyware is malicious. Its aim is usually to capture passwords, banking credentials and credit card details – and send them over
GC: n CT: Discovered in 1977 by David L. Staebler and Christopher R. Wronski, the Staebler-Wronski effect was described as a significant decrease in dark conductivity and photoconductivity as a result of prolonged light soaking (LS) of a-Si:H material.

GC: n CT: GE Renewable Energy is a 10 billion dollar start-up that brings together one of the broadest product and service portfolios of the renewable energy industry. With more than 22,000 employees present in more than 55 countries, GE Renewable Energy is backed by the resources of the world’s
GC: n CT: An AC motor has two basic electrical parts: a “stator” and a “rotor” as shown in Figure 8. The stator is in the stationary electrical component. It consists of a group of individual electro-magnets arranged in such a way that they form a hollow cylinder, with one
CG: n CT: A steppe is a dry, grassy plain. Steppes occur in temperate climates, which lie between the tropics and polar regions. Temperate regions have distinct seasonal temperature changes, with cold winters and warm summers. Steppes are semi-arid, meaning they receive 25 to 50 centimeters (10-20 inches) of rain
GC: n CT: Kivu Lake between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, contains an enormous quantity of dissolved methane. Exploiting this methane is a fabulous opportunity for the economic development of this region. This gas also constitutes a risk of cataclysmic explosion, as occurred in Cameroon at Nyos Lake.
GC: n CT: A stochastic dynamical system is a dynamical system subjected to the effects of noise. Such effects of fluctuations have been of interest for over a century since the seminal work of Einstein (1905). Fluctuations are classically referred to as “noisy” or “stochastic” when their suspected origin implicates
GC: n CT: In contrast to primary cells, which are discharged once and then discarded, storage batteries can be supplied with direct current (DC) of the correct polarity and recharged to or near their original energy content and power capability—i.e., they can repeatedly store electrical energy.

CG: n CT: Satellite-borne IR radiometers are turning the Earth’s stratosphere into one of the best available outdoor laboratories for observing the large-scale dynamics of a rotating, heterogeneous fluid under gravity. New insight is being gained not only into stratospheric dynamics as such, with its implications for pollutant behaviour and
CG: n CT: Stratospheric ozone protects the earth’s surface from damaging short-wave ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Ozone is produced in the upper stratosphere by short-wave sunlight, which together with chemical reactions dissociates the ozone again to create a dynamic balance between production and loss. Anthropogenic emissions of inert compounds containing chlorine
GC: n CT: Streaming means listening to music or watching video in ‘real time’, instead of downloading a file to your computer and watching it later. With internet videos and webcasts of live events, there is no file to download, just a continuous stream of data. Some broadcasters prefer streaming
