World War 1 began in 1914 after Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by Serbian nationalists in Bosnia. The war initially involved Serbia and Austria but grew to include two opposing alliances - the Allies including Britain, France, Russia, and later the U.S., against the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary. The war became a bloody stalemate as trench warfare led to millions of casualties with no decisive victories until 1918 when fresh American troops helped the Allies achieve success and end of the war.
Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher born in 1588 who is most famous for his work Leviathan, which outlines his social contract theory. He believed that without government, humans live in a primitive "state of nature" where life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Hobbes argued that rational individuals consent to a social contract and civil authority to escape this state for the safety and stability of society. He died in 1679 after suffering from a bladder disorder and stroke.
This document defines totalitarianism and provides information about key figures and events in Soviet Russia, China, and Nazi Germany.

The document discusses several important revolutions and documents that changed political power in Europe:
1) The Magna Carta limited the power of English monarchs and shifted power to Parliament in 1215.
2) The Glorious Revolution established King William III as the new king of England and further reduced monarchical power.
3) The English Bill of Rights of 1689 further limited monarchical authority and power over the colonies.
4) The Enlightenment promoted reason and intellectual debate to reform society and advance knowledge, opposing intolerance in church and state.
This document defines key vocabulary terms from World War II, including Lebensraum, Anschluss, appeasement, the Axis and Allied powers, and Blitzkrieg.

The document summarizes key aspects of power system analysis. It discusses the components of the power supply system, including transmission lines and the distribution system. Primary transmission voltages are 400kV and 275kV, while secondary transmission is 132kV and 66kV. Primary distribution is 33kV, secondary is 11kV and 6.6kV, and tertiary is 415V between phases and 240V to neutral. Network analysis involves developing a single line diagram, collecting component data, and solving the network using theorems like reciprocity, superposition, and Thevenin's. Loop and nodal equations are also used, along with models, analogues, and digital computers to aid in analysis.
The Industrial Revolution began in Britain in the 18th century and spread to other countries, transforming manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and technology. It led to mass urbanization as people migrated from rural areas to cities to find work in the new factories and industries. New inventions like the cotton gin, steam engine, and Bessemer process to mass produce steel drove changes in manufacturing, especially in the textiles industry. The Industrial Revolution had widespread impacts on society and the economy.
The document provides an overview of the history and development of wireless communication technologies. It discusses some key milestones, including:
- Guglielmo Marconi invented the wireless telegraph in 1896 and sent the first transatlantic signal.
- Communications satellites launched in the 1960s initially carried 240 voice circuits, but modern satellites can carry up to 1/3 of voice traffic and all TV signals.
- The cellular revolution began in the 1990s with 11 million mobile phone users growing to billions today. Mobile phones are now more common than fixed lines.
- First generation digital networks included AMPS in North America with 19.2 kbps data rates. Second generation networks included GSM, IS
Conventional trade financing refers to financing methods used in international trade transactions and includes letters of credit, documentary collections, and open accounts. Letters of credit provide the most secure financing where a bank guarantees payment to the exporter. Documentary collections involve an exporter entrusting their bank to collect payment from an importer through drafts. Open accounts involve shipping goods before payment is due within 30 to 90 days and carry the highest risk for exporters.
A distributor is a network that distributes power from a substation at a high transmission voltage to consumers at a lower distribution voltage. It has multiple taps along its length to supply various consumers. The voltage along the distributor's length can vary depending on the load current and cross-sectional area of the conductors. A three-wire DC distributor is fed from one end and has two outer conductors at +/-V and a middle neutral wire, allowing loads to connect at either V volts or 2V volts. Distributors can also be fed at both ends to reduce voltage drop when carrying heavy loads over long distances. Examples are then given of calculating voltage drops in uniformly loaded distributors fed from one or both ends
The document discusses key factors to consider in power system design:
1) A system must be efficient, carry imposed loads without overheating, and maintain minimum voltage drops.
2) It should provide continuous supply and minimize interruptions if faults occur.
3) The system needs to be simple and easy to operate/maintain with low losses.
4) However, a perfect system would be too costly, so economics must be balanced - using resources efficiently without equating economy with cheapness.
This document discusses line constants for overhead power transmission lines. It covers the resistance, inductance, and capacitance of single-phase and three-phase lines. Resistance depends on the conductor material and stranding, while inductance and capacitance depend on conductor spacing and diameter. Standard values of inductance are around 8-9 x 10^-4 henrys per kilometer and capacitance is around 1.4-1.5 x 10^-8 farads per kilometer, regardless of specific spacing and diameter. The document also discusses skin effect, transposition to equalize reactance drops, and provides equations for inductance and capacitance calculations.
Departmentation involves dividing a large organization into smaller, more specialized units. It is the process of dividing the functional organization into administrative sub-units. There are several types of departmentation including functional, product-wise, territorial, process-wise, customer-wise, and time-wise. Functional departmentation groups similar functions like production, marketing, finance into departments. Product departmentation organizes activities around specific product lines. Territorial departmentation divides the organization according to geographic regions.
