Algebra/More about the Quadratic Formula

Completing the Square
In this topic, we focus on quadratic equations. We begin by learning how to manipulate quadratic equations by completing the square, and finding the minimum and maximum values of functions.

e.g. $$(x+3)^2 = (x+3)(x+3) = x^2 + 6x + 9$$

History of wireless telegraphy and broadcasting in Australia/Topical/Publications/Australasian Radio World/Notes

P.02 - Editorial Notes
'''Editorial Notes. . .'''

FOUR YEARS OF PROGRESS. During the past four years, radio has progressed perhaps more rapidly than ever before, particularly in regard to receiver design. 1932 saw the coming of the six- and seven-pin valves, and with their advent set designers discarded the old reliables, represented by the '24, '35, and 47, in favour of the 57, 58, and 2A5. Now these in their turn are giving way to the new American metal and English spray-shielded releases. Base standardisation for all new type valves is also an advance worthy of mention.

CIRCUIT IMPROVEMENTS. Circuit design has improved in step with, or rather, because of, advances in valve design. Diode detection, automatic volume control, noise suppression control, and then dual-wave and all-wave receivers were all made commercially practicable by valves designed specially for these features.

BETTER TONE THE NEXT STEP. The next step will undoubtedly be in the direction of improving tone; in fact, leading manufacturers are already releasing medium-priced receivers capable of giving high-quality reproduction. During the past few years, set designers have been forced to concentrate on obtaining high selectivity and maximum sensitivity - the former, because of the steady increase in the number of stations operating on the broadcast hand, and the latter, because of the rapid development of worldwide shortwave services. As a result, the modern superhet is more powerful and selective than ever before. What is now needed is these qualities combined with high-quality reproduction - a combination not easily obtained, for it means much more than just providing a modern superhet tuner with a high-class audio channel. Either variable selectivity or some form of tone compensation is needed - preferably the latter - while improved speakers and better baffling are going to help considerably. Price levels will probably be a little higher, because really good tone is expensive to obtain, but nevertheless the manufacturer who caters for this latest trend is going to reap a worthwhile reward.

A disaster preparedness plan of a family of three
Tanmoy Konar

Overview: ''Disaster is natural or man-made abnormal conditions which adversely affect the livelihood of a community. Proper preparedness can reduce the impact of a disaster and can reduce suffering and loss of human life during a disaster. This preparedness should be undertaken at every level of society. Whether many steps have been taken at international, national and local government levels over the last few decades, most of the people have no idea about disaster preparedness at the family level. However, family level preparedness can play a very important role to shape the overall response of a community or a nation to a disaster. It not only reduces the variability of the members of a well-prepared family but also eases pressure on the macro-level response machinery. This article illustrates how a family may prepare themselves for a disaster. It gives useful information and guidance in this regard.''

 Personal background information

Description of family members

My family has four members. The age and the unique needs or considerations of my family members are given below.

 Pets

We don't have any pets.

 Geographic location

We stay on the third floor of a 4-storied building in Hastings, Kolkata, India. Our residence is very close to the river Hoogly. It is adjacent to one of the Artillery roads of the city. The nearest landmark is the local Public Works Department office.

 Types of expected disasters

 The disasters that are most likely to occur in my area

1.	Cyclone 2.	Earthquake 3.	Flood 4.	Epidemic 5.	Fire 6.	Terrorist activity

'' How will the type of disaster impact your preparation? ''

Our city is located in one of the most cyclone-prone areas in India. In the event of a cyclone, we may have to take shelter at home or may have to move to cyclone shelters depending upon the level of warning issued by the Government. After a cyclone, it may take two to three days for the supply chain to become normal. Hence, we store foods and medicine for at least a week. Luckily, nowadays we get warning of cyclones very early and had got a few days to check and collect the essential items. As trees may fall and live electrical wire may fall on the road, we strictly avoid traveling during a cyclone.

Home Preparedness and Jump Kit Checklists

Home Preparedness Checklists

a. Food – Supplies for one week for 3 persons at approximately 2400 calories per day; mostly comprised of dry food and packaged food with a low-moderate amount of sodium content.

b. Medical Supplies – Bandages; medicine (prescribed for each family member and as-needed antibiotics); bacitracin; suture kits; splint kits; saline.

c. Miscellaneous Supplies – Batteries (all varieties); tape; candles; matchboxes; hand-radios; duct tape; large weather-proof plastic for doors/windows; window-ladders; fire-extinguishers; 10 flashlights.

d. Water – Water supplies for 3 persons at 3 liters per day; water purification tablets; bleaching powder.

e. Firearms/Edged Tools - Shotgun; handgun; reloading supplies; ammunition; cleaning supplies; sharpening supplies; axe; knife with a full tang. f. Sanitation– 1 per person; portable shower; dry shampoo; antiseptic body wash; hazardous waste bags and shovel to bury waste.

g. Important Records: Insurance policies and titles to all vehicles, houses, apartments; copies of birth certificates and social security cards; health insurance card copies; contact list (names, addresses, phone numbers) of important individuals involved in evacuation plans; cash (about Rs. 5000/person).

Jump Kit Checklists

a. Food – Non-perishable dry and canned food; easy-to-prepare snacks, and meals for at least 3 days.

b. Medical Supplies - First aid kit; medications for at least 7 days including as needed antibiotics.

c. Miscellaneous Supplies – Duct Tape; water-proof matches or flint; flashlight with extra batteries; aforementioned weather-proof hand crank/solar power radio with additional features (NOAA weather radio); cell-phone with portable charger; compass with print outs of maps marked with evacuation plans; emergency blanket; change of clothing; hat; can opener.

d. Water – Water supplies for 3 persons at 3 liters per day; water purification tablets.

e. Important Record – Insurance policies and titles to all vehicles, houses, apartments; copies of birth certificates and social security cards; health insurance card copies; cash (about Rs. 5000/person).

f. Firearms/Edged Tools – Handgun with small amount of ammunition; 1 knife with full tang; multi-purpose tool.

Contingency Plans

Plans for leaving my job

Since I am working in the non-essential service sector, it would not be very difficult for me to leave my workplace with permission for my superior officers in case of any emergency. Plans for meeting family members including a local meeting place and an out of town meeting place One of my closest friends leaves in my locality. My family may move to his house and I may meet with them there. An out of town meeting place will be my father’s house which is about 2 hours away from my city.

 Escape Routes or Transportation Plan

Specific concerns based on the type of disaster

Cyclone is the most common disaster in my locality. As trees may fall and live electrical wire may fall on the road during a cyclone, we strictly avoid traveling during a cyclone. We have to wait for the cyclone to stop. Even after the cyclone, the roads normally get blocked by the fallen trees which make movement of cars almost impossible. Hence, motorbike is preferred over cars.

Emergency Communication Plan

Plan for communication within family

a) Each family member has their own cellular device.

b) If a disaster is declared, I would send both a text message and e-mail notifying my family to begin the disaster plan and meet at the designated primary spot. We would utilize text messages on every hour mark to determine each other’s location.

c) I would have my family bookmark crucial links of the Government’s disaster-related web site.

Communication plan with authorities

a) To receive messages from authorities in the area I would use a radio with extra batteries.

b) Regular visit Government websites.

c) If cell phones or other wireless devices do not work, we would rely on the wired landline phone at my father’s house.

Maintenance Approach

My family will hold ‘Monthly Preparedness Meetings’ on the 1st Saturday of every month. We will cross-check all the arrangements during the meeting. If any Government warning of a cyclone is received, all the arrangements will be verified again.

Planet Earth/4a. The Air You Breathe

Take a Deep Breath
Take a deep breath. The air that you inhale is composed of a unique mix of gasses that form the Earth’s atmosphere. The Earth’s atmosphere is the gas-filled shell around a sphere representing the outer most portion of the planet. Understanding the unique mix of gasses within the Earth’s atmosphere is of vital importance to living organisms that require the presence of certain gasses for respiration. Air in our atmosphere is a mix of gasses with very large distances between individual molecules. Although the atmosphere does vary slightly between various regions of the planet, the atmosphere of Earth is nearly consistent in its composition of mostly Nitrogen (N2), representing about 78.08% of the atmosphere. The second most abundant gas in Earth’s atmosphere is Oxygen (O2) representing 20.95% of the atmosphere. This leaves only 0.97%, of which 0.93% is composed of Argon (Ar). This mix of Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon is very unique among the solar system especially compared to neighboring planets, as Mars has an atmosphere of 95.32% Carbon dioxide (CO2), 2.6% Nitrogen (N2) and 1.9% Argon (Ar). While Venus has an atmosphere of 96.5% Carbon dioxide (CO2), 3.5% Nitrogen (N2) and trace amounts of Sulfur dioxide (SO2). Earth’s atmosphere is strange in its abundance of Oxygen (O2) and very low amounts of Carbon dioxide (CO2). However, evidence exists that Earth began its early history with an atmosphere similar to Venus and Mars, an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide.

Earth’s Earliest Atmosphere
Evidence for Earth’s early atmosphere comes from the careful study of moon rocks brought back to Earth during the Apollo missions, which show that lunar rocks are depleted in carbon, with 0.0021% to 0.0225% of the total weight of the rocks composed of various carbon compounds (Cadogan et. 1972: Survey of lunar carbon compounds). Analysis of Earth igneous rocks show that carbon is more common in the solid Earth, with percentages between 0.032% and 0.220%. If Earth began its history with a similar rock composition found on the Moon (during its molten early history), most of the carbon on Earth would have been free as gasses of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere, accounting for an atmosphere that was an upwards of 1,000 times denser, and containing a majority of carbon dioxide, similar to Venus and Mars. Further evidence from ancient zircon crystals indicate low amounts of carbon in the solid Earth during its first 1 billion years of history, and supports an early atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide.

Today Earth’s rocks and solid matter contain the vast majority of carbon (more than 99% of the Earth’s carbon), and only a small fraction is found in the atmosphere and ocean, whereas during its early history, the atmosphere appears to have been the major reservoir of carbon, containing most of the Earth’s total carbon, with only a small fraction lockup in rocks. Over billions of years, in the presence of water vapor, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreased, as carbon was removed from the atmosphere in the form of carbonic acid, and deposited as calcium carbonate (CaCO3) into crustal rocks. Such scrubbing of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere did not appear to occur on Venus and Mars which both lack large amounts of liquid water and water vapor on their planetary surfaces. This also likely resulted in a less dense atmosphere for Earth, which today has a density of 1.217 kg/m3 near sea level. Levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere dramatically decreased with the advent of photosynthesizing life forms and calcium carbonate skeletons which further pulled carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and accelerated the process around 2.5 billion years ago.

Water in the atmosphere
It should be noted that water (H2O) makes a significant component of the Earth’s atmosphere, as evaporated gas from Earth’s liquid oceans, lakes, and rivers. The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is measured as Relative humidity. Relative humidity is the ratio (often given as a percentage) between the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium pressure of liquid water at a given temperature on a smooth surface. A relative humidity of 100% would mean that the partial pressure water vapor is equal to the equilibrium pressure of liquid water, and would condense to from droplets of water, either as rain or dew on a glass window. Note that relative humidity is not an absolute measure of atmospheric water vapor content, for example a measured relative humidity of 100% does not mean that the air contains 100% water vapor, nor does 25% relative humidity mean that it contains 25% water vapor. In fact, water vapor (H2O) accounts for only between 0 to 4% of the total composition of the atmosphere, with 4% values found in equatorial tropical regions of the planet, such as rainforests. In most places, water vapor (H2O) represents only trace amounts of the atmosphere and is found mostly close to the surface of the Earth. The amount of water molecules air can hold is related to both its temperature and pressure. The higher the temperature and lower the pressure the more water molecules are found in the air. Water molecules are at an equilibrium with Earth’s air, however, if temperatures on Earth’s surface were to rise above 100° Celsius, the boiling point for water, the majority of water on the planet would be converted to gasses, and make up a significant portion of Earth’s atmosphere as water vapor. Scientists debate when temperatures on Earth’s surface dropped below this high value and when liquid oceans first appeared on the surface of the planet, but by 3.8 billion years ago, Earth appeared to have oceans present.

Before this, was the period of time of a molten Earth called the Hadean (named after Hades, the underworld of Greek mythology). Lasting between 500-700 million years, the Hadean was an Earth that resembled the hot surface of Venus, but consistently bombarded with meteorite impacts and massive volcanic eruptions and flowing lava. Few, if any rocks are known from this period of time, since so much of the Earth was molten and liquid at this point in its history. Temperatures must have dropped, leading to the appearance of liquid water on Earth’s surface and resulting in less dense atmosphere. This started the lengthy process of cleansing the atmosphere of carbon dioxide.

For the next 1.3 billion years, Earth’s atmosphere was a mix of water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon, with traces of foul-smelling sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NO2). It is debated whether there may have been pockets of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH4), or whether these gas compounds were mostly oxidized in the early atmosphere. However, free oxygen (O2) was rare or absent in Earth’s early atmosphere, as free oxygen as a gas would only appear later, and when it did, it would completely alter planet Earth.
