683Q. How does North Pole drift? [16-5-2013
The Hindu p.12]
When
mass is lost in one part of a spinning sphere, its spin axis will tilt directly
towards the position of the loss.
The
melting ice has also increased the rate of drift from about two milliarcseconds
per year during the period 1982-2005 to about nine milliarcseconds per year
post 2005.
The
changes were recorded by satellite gravity measurements by the Gravity Recovery
and Climate Experiment mission.
684Q. What is Pokkali farming?
Pokkali
farming is a typical farming system in which paddy and shrimp cultures are
alternatively done in the same field.
685Q. Why do ants favour feeding on sugary products?
The
foragers might collect the protein-rich food for the queen, when she is
actively laying the eggs.
Protein
rich foods are preferred when the colony has a high larval population.
When
the colony has no larvae, the foragers preferably gather the sugar-rich foods,
because adult colonies consuming protein-rich food have extremely high
mortality due to protein toxicity.
Even
if they find a food which is rich in protein but poor in sugar, they extract
the sugars and eject the protein as a waste.
It
is quite normal to see the foragers attracted towards sugary products unless
;there is a demand for protein by the egg-laying queen or the larvae.
686Q. What are the effects of LEDs?

attack and stroke.
Now-a-days
technology has made our life 24 hours
working day.

It is the centre of Maoists.
There are training centres, /armament
factories etc.

689Q. In power transmission
what is the role of 400 Hz?
Frequencies
as high as 400 Hz are used in
1. Aircraft,
2. Spacecraft,
3. Submarines,
4. Server
rooms for computer power,
5. Military
equipment, and
6. Hand-held
machine tools.
Such high frequencies cannot be
economically transmitted long distances, so 400 Hz power systems are
usually confined to a building or vehicle.
Transformers and motors for 400 Hz
are much smaller and lighter than at 50 or 60 Hz, which is an advantage in
aircraft and ships.
A United States military standard MIL-STD-704
exists for aircraft use of 400 Hz power.

691Q. What are the
characteristics of micro, mini and super computer?
A microcomputer is a computer with a
microprocessor as its central processing unit. A microcomputer is a computer
with a microprocessor as its central processing unit. Another general characteristic
of these computers is that they occupy physically small amounts of space when
usually referred to by its manufacturers as a "large server"

693Q. What is the new sign of
black-hole birth? [The Hindu 9-5-13 Thu]
Black
holes are exotic space phenomena whose gravitation pulls are so strong that not
even light can escape.
They
are formed when heavy stars exhaust all their hydrogen and collapse under their
own weight.
No
body has witnessed the birth of a black hole because nobody is sure what kinds
of massive stars produce black holes.
When
a massive star’s core collapses, its protons and electrons merge to form neutrons.
As the collapse intensifies, an extremely dense core called a neutron star is
formed.
The
dying star may generate a distinct burst of light that could allow astronomers
to witness the birth of a black hole for the first time.
Particles
called neutrinos are also formed simultaneously. They zip through matter at
close to the speed of light, taking away a lot of the mass in the core making
its gravitational pull drastically weak.
694Q. What is Length
contraction?
In
physics, length
contraction is the physical phenomenon of a decrease in length detected by an
observer of objects that travel at any non-zero velocity relative to that observer.
This
contraction which is called Lorentz contraction is usually only
noticeable at a substantial fraction of the speed of light;
The
contraction is only in the direction parallel to the direction in which the
observed body is travelling.
This
effect is negligible at everyday speeds, and can be ignored for all regular
purposes.
Only
at greater speeds does it become important.
At
a speed of 13,400,000 m/s (30 million mph, 0.0447c), the length is 99.9%
of the length at rest;
At
a speed of 42,300,000 m/s (95 million mph, 0.141c), the length is still
99%.
As
the magnitude of the velocity approaches the speed of light, the effect becomes
dominant.
695Q. What is disruptive
technologies?
disruptions occurring from coincidental
inventions, changes in regulations and society, exploding demand for new
products as well as growth in complementary technologies created through
strange connections. With that broader context, it is possible to further define disruptive technologies and products as follows.
·They create new markets and customer segments that previously did not
exist or were thought unattainable;
·They initially target underserved customers;
·They are perceived as inferior by existing mainstream customers;
·They attract early adopters and create loyal followers as they offer
new performance vectors previously unmet;
·They reduce complexity and are simpler in design and easier to use;
·They specifically target breakthrough improvement in a new performance
vector;
·They can require a new business model or distribution method;
696Q. What is geostationary
orbit?
A
geostationary orbit, or Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO),
is a circular orbit
35,786 kilometres (22,236 mi) above the Earth's equator and
following the direction of the Earth's rotation. Communications satellites and weather satellites are often given geostationary orbits, so that the satellite antennas that communicate with them do not have to move to track them, but can be pointed permanently at the position in the sky where they stay.
A geostationary orbit is a particular type of geosynchronous orbit.
697Q. How is Orbit allocation done?
Satellites in geostationary orbit must all occupy a single ring above the Equator. The requirement to space these satellites apart to avoid harmful radio-frequency interference during operations means that there are a limited number of orbital "slots" available, thus only a limited number of satellites can be operated in geostationary orbit. This has led to conflict between different countries wishing access to the same orbital slots (countries near the same longitude but differing latitudes) and radio frequencies. These disputes are addressed through the International Telecommunication Union's allocation mechanism. In the 1976 Bogotá Declaration, eight countries located on the Earth's equator claimed sovereignty over the geostationary orbits above their territory, but the claims gained no international recognition.
698Q. Does sound always travel at the same speed, why or why not?
This is related to the question on how sound travels. Reading the answer to that question should help answer this. The simple answer is no. This basically has to do with how close the atoms are to transmit the "message". If they are closer (e.g. a solid), the sound travels faster than in a gas where they are separated by quite a distance.
699Q. How come some things are sound-proof, but some things aren't?
Sound proofing is putting something in walls to absorb the sound. In a large open room, the problem is in directing the sound so as to not create echoes. Often sound absorbers help, and sound reflectors help.
It is easier and cheaper to build an auditorium without paying an expensive sound engineer for this information and paying for extra materials to be installed. However, when you build something like Davis symphony hall in the city or the new Children's Theatre, you must pay this extra because people are coming to hear the instruments and acting voices without echoes, and with clarity. In a school auditorium, you are usually interested in just hearing someone talk, and this usually doesn't require such fancy sound-proofing.
700Q What are the various
types of wastes?
There are many waste types defined by modern systems of waste
management, notably including:- Municipal Waste includes Household waste, Commercial waste, and Demolition waste
- Hazardous Waste includes Industrial waste
- Bio-medical Waste includes Clinical waste
- Special Hazardous waste includes Radioactive waste, explosives waste, and Electronic waste (e-waste)
